Nagasaki

Nagasaki is a captivating port city shaped by centuries of foreign influence as Japan's sole window to the outside world during the era of isolation. The city bears the scars of the second atomic bombing while celebrating its remarkable multicultural heritage seen in Dutch-inspired Dejima, Chinese temples, and historic Christian sites now designated UNESCO World Heritage. Hillside streets, harbor views, and the fusion cuisine called shippoku ryori give Nagasaki a unique character unlike anywhere else in Japan.
