Where to go in Japan: Nagasaki

Many peninsulas, 971 islands and exotic streets. A diverse, exciting and throbbing area of varied cultural and topographic differences.

Nagasaki Prefecture lies in the northwestern part of Kyushu, and consists of five peninsulas and many islands. With the sea in between, it stands face-to-face with a continent, part of which is China, and the Korean Peninsula. It has therefore long been an important transportation point facing the continent. Since the 17th century, ports for trade with Portugal and Holland were established. In addition, since it was once the center of Christianity propagation, there are many exotic, historical ruins and buildings left within the prefecture.
