Nagasaki served as Japan’s sole gateway to the West during the Edo period through Dejima and later became a symbol of peace after the devastation of the atomic bomb. With beautiful cityscapes and a deep history, Nagasaki offers emotionally resonant stories and scenes.

Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum and Peace Park

The museum documents the realities of the 9 August 1945 bombing through photographs, relics, and survivors’ testimonies. It’s a place to quietly reflect on the tragedy and the preciousness of life, and to renew hopes for nuclear abolition. Nearby, the Peace Park surrounds the bombing’s hypocenter and offers a somber yet hopeful atmosphere with the Peace Statue, memorials, fountains, and monuments, all urging a reflection on peace.

Dejima

From 1636 to 1859, during Japan’s isolation policy, Dejima was the only gateway for trade and cultural exchange with the West, especially with the Dutch. Western medicine, science, and art all flowed into Japan from here. Now, the area is faithfully restored, allowing visitors to explore merchant houses, warehouses, and residences to relive the lifestyle and international exchange of the era—a smart, historically rich attraction.
