Nagasaki: A journey to the heart of Japanese history
One of Japan's port cities, located on the island of Kyushu, Nagasaki is strong in its cultural heritage and unique history. As one of the few Japanese cities to have opened its doors to international trade during the Edo period, Nagasaki shaped its cosmopolitan character early enough to benefit from it. Visitors can explore the historic Dejima district, a former trading island, and discover the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum, which commemorates the tragic events of 1945.
Nagasaki is surrounded by breathtaking natural landscapes, including Mount Inasa, which offers panoramic views of Nagasaki Bay. For a relaxing tour rich in history, Glover Gardens and Nagasaki Peace Park are ideal locations. With its unique combination of culture, history and natural beauty, Nagasaki is a must-visit destination for those who want to experience Japan from a different perspective.
