Nagasaki, which means “long cape” in Japanese, is the capital of the Nagasaki Prefecture on the third-largest island of Japan - Kyushu. As one of the country’s closest port cities to the Asia continent, Nagasaki has played the most important role in foreign trade relations for many centuries, being one of the very few ports open to restricted foreign trading during Japan’s ancient Edo Period. It was also the second city after Hiroshima to be destroyed by an atomic bomb towards the end of World War II.

Therefore, you will also be able to discover charming East-meets-West architectures within this port city besides the scenic hilly landscape and historical sites.
