Prefecture
Nagasaki is located on Kyushu, which is the third largest island of Japan. After the Abolition of the han system廃藩置県 (1868), seven prefectures were divided. They are Fukuoka, Saga, Kumamoto, Nagasaki (included Goto Islands and Tsushima Island), Ōita, Kagoshima (included Ōsumi Islands and Amami Islands) and Miyazaki. [Besides, Okinawa is the eighth prefecture of Kyushu but people commonly mention it independently.] As a historical place, numerous scenes are attracted me – history is my favorite!

Brief development of Nagasaki City
It is the largest city of Nagasaki Prefecture. It was a fishing village, as similar to Hong Kong in early 20th century, at the beginning searched by archaeologist. During Edo Period, it developed to a centre of foreign residents liked Portuguese and was the only trade harbor around the whole nation. The rehabilitation of Nagasaki after the World War II was miraculously fast and it comes to a capital city now.






Check Point 1 - The Nagasaki Peace Park

In 9th August 1945, the atomic bombing of Nagasaki killed thousands of the residents. Even though the bombings were ended the World War II, people were astonished by its cruelness and destructive power. To memorize the price of the war and the value of the peace, this park was constructed either for the remains of the residents or the victims of the war.

公園の中にはたくさんの西洋彫刻がいる、それは日本人が外国文化を吸収してるの証でしょが。

Check Point 2 – Nagasaki Chinatown

This is the oldest one of the three biggest Chinatowns of Japan, and it was the location of the trade harbor in Edo Period. We can have Chinese traditional meal with Japanese characteristics and the assorted noodles are the most famous dish around the town.

It seems that the relationship between Chinese and Japanese can be harmony.





Check Point 3 - Glover Garden

Here is an outside museum of Western-style house, mainly resembled to Victorian. The construction idea usually came from British, Portugal, Netherlands or other trade nations importing Western culture to Japan among Edo and Meiji Period. It undoubtedly is an evidence for the huge culture tolerance and application of the Yamato.

As you can see that, I focus on the history-related scenes to visit if there were a free journey ticket provided!
