Nagasaki, Japan
Nagasaki is sadly most famous for being the site of the atomic bomb dropping during World War 2.
Portuguese and Dutch influences can be felt throughout the city’s cosmopolitan streets, which stretch all the way from Nagasaki bay up the slopes of the surrounding mountains.
We visited Mount Inasa Observatory – An observation deck which gives sweeping views of Nagasaki city and surrounding islands nearby. It is claimed to have the 3rd best night view in the world!
Shinchi Chinatown – The largest Chinatown in Japan!
Dejima – a historical artificial island used as the Dutch trading post, built in 1636, depicting life back then.
We had beautiful weather today, perfect for sightseeing and walking around the city.
