Highlights of Nagasaki
Welcome to Nagasaki, a beautiful port city on Japan’s Kyushu Island that perfectly balances history, resilience, and natural beauty. Once Japan’s main gateway to the world, Nagasaki offers a fascinating mix of Japanese, Chinese, and European influences. Today, it’s a vibrant city filled with charm, culture, and warmth, inviting visitors to explore its unique story.
Begin your journey at the Nagasaki Peace Park, a deeply moving memorial that commemorates the tragic atomic bombing of 1945. The park’s statues and fountains symbolize peace and hope for the future. Moreover, just nearby, you can visit the Atomic Bomb Museum and Hypocenter Park to learn more about the city’s past and its inspiring recovery.
After exploring its historical side, head to Glover Garden, a picturesque open-air museum overlooking Nagasaki Harbour. This hilltop area features Western-style homes from the 19th century, including the residence of the Scottish merchant Thomas Glover. In addition, the views of the city and the bay below are simply breathtaking, especially at sunset.
For an even deeper look into Nagasaki’s multicultural roots, wander through Dejima. Once an artificial island used by Dutch traders during Japan’s isolation period, it’s now a fascinating historical site filled with reconstructed buildings, exhibits, and charming canals. Furthermore, the area offers a glimpse into how Nagasaki became Japan’s window to the world.
Another must-visit is the colourful Chinatown (Shinchi), the oldest in Japan. Here, you can savour delicious local dishes such as Champon noodles and Sara Udon, both signature foods of Nagasaki. The vibrant lanterns and traditional Chinese gates make this district a delight to stroll through—especially during the Nagasaki Lantern Festival.
Take some time to explore Mount Inasa, one of the best night view spots in Japan. A short ropeway ride will bring you to the summit, where you can enjoy a stunning 360-degree panorama of Nagasaki’s glittering city lights and harbour. As a result, it’s the perfect romantic spot or simply a peaceful place to reflect on the day.
History lovers will also enjoy visiting the serene Oura Church, Japan’s oldest standing Christian church. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it stands as a symbol of the city’s Christian heritage and the perseverance of faith. In addition, nearby shops and cafés in the Minamiyamate area offer a relaxing atmosphere for a pleasant afternoon walk.
For something more adventurous, take a boat trip to Hashima Island, also known as “Gunkanjima” or “Battleship Island.” This abandoned coal mining island, now a UNESCO site, offers an eerie yet fascinating glimpse into Japan’s industrial past. Moreover, it’s one of the most photogenic and talked-about sites in all of Nagasaki.
In conclusion, Nagasaki is a city of peace, beauty, and cultural richness. From its emotional history to its stunning night views and delicious cuisine, it offers a one-of-a-kind Japanese experience. Whether you’re exploring the old trading quarters, tasting Champon noodles, or gazing at the harbour lights, Nagasaki will touch your heart and leave memories that last a lifetime—with a Holiday Houseboy to make your visit even more meaningful.
