Not much to do. Lonely Planet talked it up but we did not really enjoy. Make it a day trip only from Hakata to see A Bomb peace museum, which was very moving. |

When you first come out of the main JR Nagasaki station you come on to a busy main road surrounded by ugly cement block buildings. For this reason my first impression of the city was very poor. However once you start sight-seeing and get of the main road it`s quite a fantastic and interesting city with a great atmosphere. Out of the places I`ve been in Japan so far (I`m still on vacation!), Nagasaki has been my favourite. |

Nagasaki is a very beautiful city that requires a lot of walking to really enjoy. There are a ton of hills and stairs, so it's good exercise! The history of Nagasaki is really interesting and it is really unlike any other Japanese city. Many of the interesting sites are related to the influence from the Chinese and Dutch. If you are from the West, seeing the buildings themselves might not really be that interesting. But if you consider that they are in Japan and are interested in the history of them, it is actually really fascinating to see them all. There are also some temples to see. Nagasaki doesn't really have any famous crafts to buy, such as pottery or woodwork, so it isn't the best place if you are in the market for "things." But you can't leave Nagasaki without trying some castella (kasutera)! I loved the street cars and I highly recommend the art museum. It is a beautiful building and it is in a stellar location, right on the water. The cafe in the museum is a perfect place to rest. The art isn't the main reason to go, unless you are interested in Spanish art. You could cover many of the sites in just one day, but I saw almost all of them in a comfortable two days. Nagasaki is not the place to go if you want to party. There is a small nightlife area, but I don't think that it would be anybody's main reason for visiting. I went in December and it was pretty cold, but refreshing after walking around. I think that it is gets really hot there in the summer. |
