Nagasaki Travel Tips
Nagasaki (長崎), the vibrant capital of Nagasaki Prefecture, is a captivating port city nestled around a picturesque inlet on Kyushu Island. With its unique blend of rich history, diverse culture, and stunning landscapes, Nagasaki stands out as one of Japan's most intriguing destinations. The city has long been a gateway for foreign trade, significantly influencing Japan's interactions with the world during its period of isolation.
Nagasaki's historical significance is marked by its status as one of the few ports open to foreign traders, shaping its diverse culture. Tragically, it was also the second city, after Hiroshima, to experience the devastation of an atomic bomb during World War II. Today, visitors can explore its poignant history through sites such as the Atomic Bomb Museum and Peace Park, alongside enjoying the charming streets filled with cafes, gardens, and stunning views of the surrounding hills and ocean.
