# Travel Destinations | Japan Voyage Travel - [Nagasaki Chinatown](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/nagasaki-chinatown): Nagasaki, Attraction. One of Japan's three great Chinatowns alongside Yokohama and Kobe, famous for champon noodles and the Lantern Festival. - [Kashiragashima Church](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/kashiragashima-church): Nagasaki, Historic site. A sandstone church on Kashiragashima, off Nakadori island in the Goto chain, built from 1910 to 1919 by Tetsukawa Yosuke with stone the congregation cut and carried themselves. Part of the UNESCO Hidden Christian Sites, and awkward to reach without a car. - [Egami Church](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/egami-church): Nagasaki, Historic site. A small white wooden church with pale blue window frames, built in 1918 by Tetsukawa Yosuke for descendants of Hidden Christians on Naru Island in the Goto chain. Raised on a high floor against the damp of a spring-fed valley by the sea. Part of the UNESCO Hidden Christian Sites. Advance notice is required, the grounds close on Mondays and the third Sunday of each month, and you need a boat and then a car or taxi to get there. - [Iki](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/iki): Nagasaki, Island. A low, green island in the strait between Fukuoka and Tsushima, about 17 km from north to south. It has a 45 m sea stack shaped like a monkey, the moated Yayoi settlement of Harunotsuji and a shrine you can walk to only at low tide. Iki calls itself the birthplace of barley shochu. - [Megane Bridge](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/megane-bridge): Nagasaki, Landmark. A twin-arch stone bridge built in 1634 over the Nakashima River, whose reflection in the water resembles a pair of spectacles. - [Shimabara Castle](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/shimabara-castle): Nagasaki, Castle. Reconstructed castle famous for its connection to the Shimabara Rebellion, with exhibits on Christian history and samurai culture. - [Kasuga Village and Mount Yasumandake](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/kasuga-village-and-mount-yasumandake): Nagasaki, Historic site. A farming village of terraced rice fields on the west coast of Hirado Island, where Hidden Christians kept their faith by praying to Mount Yasumandake and to an offshore islet of martyrs, and never rejoined the Catholic Church. Part of the UNESCO Hidden Christian Sites. There is no church: come for the terraces, the small information house run by villagers and the climb to the shrine on Yasumandake. A car makes it much easier. - [Twenty-Six Martyrs Museum and Monument](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/twenty-six-martyrs-museum-and-monument): Nagasaki, Museum. The execution ground of the 26 Martyrs of 1597, now a park with a long bronze memorial, a small museum and a church whose mosaic twin towers borrow from Gaudí. It is a short, steep walk from Nagasaki Station. - [Ikeshima](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/ikeshima): Nagasaki, Island. A small island off the Sotome coast of Nagasaki that mined coal from 1959 until 2001. Most of the apartment blocks are empty now, about a hundred people remain, and former miners guide visitors through a real tunnel by trolley. - [Mount Unzen](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/mount-unzen): Nagasaki, Mountain. The volcanic massif at the center of the Shimabara Peninsula, reached by the one-way Nita Pass road and a 3-minute ropeway to Myokendake. Hikers can climb Fugendake (1,359 m), but Heisei Shinzan, the 1,483-meter lava dome left by the 1990 to 1995 eruption, is off limits. - [Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/nagasaki-atomic-bomb-museum): Nagasaki, Museum. The city museum on the hill above the hypocenter, covering the bombing of August 9, 1945, the damage it caused, and the history of nuclear weapons.

Nagasaki's Catholic cathedral, rebuilt in 1959 after the atomic bomb brought down the old brick church about 500 meters from the hypocenter. A fallen bell-tower dome still lies in the stream below. - [Hirado Castle](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/hirado-castle): Nagasaki, Castle. Hirado Castle occupies a sea-facing hill across from the old trading port. Its reconstructed keep provides a wide view of the strait, while the castle grounds connect the Matsura family’s rule with this outward-looking corner of Nagasaki. - [Hara Castle Ruins](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/hara-castle-ruins): Nagasaki, Historic site. Grassy ruins on a headland above the Ariake Sea, where some 27,000 to 37,000 rebels under Amakusa Shiro held out for months in 1637 to 1638 and almost all were killed. A UNESCO Hidden Christian Sites component since 2018. - [Michi-no-Eki Matsuura Umi-no-Furusatokan](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/michi-no-eki-matsuura-umi-no-furusatokan): Nagasaki, Michi no eki.
