About Nagasaki

 

Nagasaki is the capital and the largest city of the Nagasaki Prefecture on the island of Kyushu in Japan.
Founded by the Portuguese, the port of Nagasaki became the sole port used for trade with the Portuguese and Dutch during the 16th through 19th centuries. The Hidden Christian Sites in the Nagasaki Region have been recognized and included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Part of Nagasaki was home to a major Imperial Japanese Navy base during the First Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War. Near the end of World War II, the American atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki made Nagasaki the second city in the world to experience a nuclear attack.

         

 

Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum opened in Nagasaki, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, in 2005. The collection comprises artworks relating to Nagasaki as well as works of Spanish art collected by Suma Yakichiro, special envoy to Spain during the Second World War. Alongside the Nagasaki Museum of History and Culture, which opened the same year, it supersedes and replaces the former Nagasaki Prefectural Museum and Art Museum, which closed at the end of 2002.

 

Mount Inasa is a hill to the west of Nagasaki which rises to a height of 333 metres (1,093 ft). The Nagasaki Ropeway allows visitors to travel to the top from Nagasaki. A short walk from the cable car station are several buildings that house transmitters for TV and radio stations that serve Nagasaki and the surrounding area.

There is an observation platform that is popular with tourists as it provides extensive views of Nagasaki's "10 Million Dollar Night View".

 

 

Nagasaki Seaside Park is a beautiful oasis in the heart of the city that perfectly blends nature with city life. This waterfront park offers stunning views of Nagasaki Bay and is a favorite with locals and tourists seeking a peaceful escape. The park has been designed to make the most of its coastal setting, with lush green lawns, vibrant flower beds and scenic walking paths winding along the water's edge. It's a great place to relax, have a picnic or just enjoy the gentle sea breeze. Children love the park's playgrounds, while adults enjoy the open Spaces for jogging and leisurely strolling. One of the most attractive features of Nagasaki Seaside Park is its seasonal variation. In spring, cherry blossoms create a magical atmosphere, while summer brings lively festivals and events. The park not only has natural beauty but also hosts concerts and cultural performances, making it a year-round hub of activity.
