    Nagasaki Pref. Nagasakishi Nishizakamachi 7-8
    In 1597, six Franciscan missionaries and 20 Japanese Christians were executed on this hill as a result of Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s prohibition of Christianity. It is reported that they requested to be martyred here because the site resembled the hill of Golgotha upon which Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross, and many other missionaries and followers were executed on this spot thereafter. A bronze monument featuring full-body statues of the 26 martyrs was erected in 1962. The Roman Catholic Church designated this spot as an official Vatican pilgrimage spot in 1950.

    We made it here shortly before the museum closed, so we didnt see much of that part. However, even if you dont visit the museum, the monument itself is worth a visit. Its conveniently close to the...

    Nagasaki Pref. Nagasakishi Matsuyamamachi In Peace Park
    "This bronze statue is about three minutes on foot from the Matsuyama-machi Streetcar Peace Park Stop, in the Prayer Zone of Nagasaki Peace Park at the north of Nagasaki Station. The statue was created by Seibo Kitamura, a sculptor from Nagasaki Prefecture. It was erected in 1955, ten years after an atomic bomb was dropped on the city. The statue has a variety of symbolism: the right hand refers to the threat of nuclear weapons, the left hand symbolizes peace, and the closed eyes encourage the visitor to ""pray for the repose of the atomic bomb victims."" Every August 9, Peace Memorial Ceremony is held in the square in front of the statue. "

  • Dejima (Site of the Dejima Dutch Trading Post)
    Travel / Tourism
    Nagasaki Pref. Nagasakishi Dejimamachi 6-1
    When the Edo shogunate imposed a policy of national isolation, Dejima became the only window for trade with the West in the nation. The Dutch trading post was moved here from Hirado in 1641. Thereafter, economic and cultural exchange between Japan and Europe took place here for the next 218 years, contributing greatly to the modernization of Japan. After the trading post was closed, the area around the island was filled in and reclaimed; today, however, a project is underway to restore the island to its historic appearance, providing visitors with a glimpse of how it once looked.

    Nagasaki Pref. Nagasakishi Sakamoto 2-6-56
    The atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki City in 1945. Sanno-jinja Shrine, located on high ground around 900 meters southeast of the center of the blast, was seriously damaged, and the main hall was destroyed without a trace. The One Pillar Torii gate stands on the path leading to the shrine. Originally four torii gates stood here, but only half of this particularly gate survived the blast and stands today. The gate speaks of the menace of nuclear weapons.

    路面電車の「浦上駅前」電停から徒歩10分。 1638年創建。1652年に現在地に遷座。1868年に「山王神社」に改称。祭神は天照皇太御神、豊受比売神、大山咋神、他3柱。拝殿は鉄筋コンクリート造だが本殿は木造。当社は被爆クスノキと一本柱鳥居で有名な神社である。

    Nagasaki Pref. Nagasakishi Kannaimachi
    This historical site is located in Kannai-machi, Nagasaki City. From the increase in smuggling in Nagasaki that exclusively traded with China in the Edo period (1603-1868), the shogunate created a residence for Chinese to stay, and restricted their access to come and go. Among them, four have been restored and preserved.

  • Takashima Coal Mine (Hokkei Pit)
    Travel / Tourism
    Nagasaki Pref. Nagasakishi Takashimamachi 99-1
    "This old coal mine is located in Takashima-cho, Nagasaki City. It forms one of the sites of the ""Sites of Japan's Meiji Industrial Revolution"" registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Coal was discovered in 1695, and it was used as fuel for grilled food and salt manufacturers. From 1868, it was the first in Japan to extract coal from a shaft using a steam engine with the latest equipment at that time by the Saga Domain and Glover Trading Company. Management then finally passed to Mitsubishi, which brought huge wealth as fuel to ships stopping in Nagasaki. It is currently possible to go on a free tour."

Nagasaki Areas

around-area-map

This hidden corner of the country is rural Japan at its best, where underground activity is to thank for active volcanoes and bubbling natural hot springs along the Shimabara Peninsula as well as the crystal clear waters of the Goto Islands off the west coast. Less well known than Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park, Nagasaki commemorates its own past at the Nagasaki Peace Park, which sits alongside the charming Meganebashi stone bridge and a mix of religious buildings with beautiful architecture, such as the Zen Buddhist Sofukuji Temple, the Confucian Shrine, and the Oura Christian Church.
