About This Destination

One of Japan's three great Chinatowns alongside Yokohama and Kobe, famous for champon noodles and the Lantern Festival.

One of Japan's three great Chinatowns, established in the Edo period when Chinese merchants were confined here for trade. Four ornamental gates mark each compass direction; cobblestone streets lined with restaurants and shops. Nagasaki's Chinese-Japanese fusion cuisine was born here—champon noodles with pork bone broth and seafood, and crispy sara-udon. The Lantern Festival in January-February fills the district with thousands of colorful lanterns for Chinese New Year.
