    Nagasaki Pref. Nagasakishi Takahamamachi
    This beach is located in Takahama-machi, Nagasaki City. With white sands that stretch for approximately 800 meters and cobalt blue seas with excellent water quality, it has been chosen as one of the 88 Best Swimming Beaches in Japan. In addition, you can see Hashima Island (Gunkanjima), which forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage ''Sites of Japan's Meiji Japan Industrial Revolution'' on the other side of the sea.

    We took the bus (number 30) from Nagasaki station to the beach, 50 mins for 590 Yen. For time info ask the tourist office at the station, timetable differs from weekdays and weekends. The bus stop is...

  • Gunkanjima Island
    Travel / Tourism
    Nagasaki Pref. Nagasakishi Takashimamachi Hashima
    Located in the middle of Nagasaki Bay, Hashima Island is known by the nickname Gunkanjima Island (literally, Battleship Island). Coal was discovered on the island in 1810, and after that, it was operated for full-scale coal mining by the Mitsubishi Corporation from 1890. The island flourished as it supported Japan’s modernization from the Meiji period to the Showa period, but with the closing of the mine in 1974, the island’s residents left and it became a deserted island. Now it is possible to land on the island with a guided tour and conduct sightseeing. In 2015, Meiji Japan’s industrial revolution heritage sites including Gunkanjima Island were registered as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

    This is a mountain in Nagasaki City with a height of 333 meters. The view from the mountaintop is spectacular and looks out over Nagasaki City and Nagasaki Bay, and Mt. Inasa is a popular sightseeing spot visited by many seeking a nighttime view in particular. The observatory was renovated and reopened in 2011. Enjoy the “10 million dollar night view” from this space featuring a floor inlaid with illumination that twinkles like precious stones.

    Nagasaki Pref. Nagasakishi Ioujimamachi
    This island is situated approximately ten kilometers to the southwest from the center of Nagasaki City. Although once flourishing from the coal mining industry, the coal mine closed in 1972. Currently, it is a resort destination centered on the entertainment resort i+Land nagasaki, which has facilities such as a hot spring, a hotel, restaurants and beach. In addition, with the opening of Iojima Ohashi Bridge, it can now be access in just 30 minutes by car from the city center.

    Nagasaki Nagasaki-shi Uonomachi
    "The river flows through Nagasaki City, and there are many stone bridges along the river, including ""Megane-bashi Bridge,"" a stone bridge designated as a national important cultural property built in 1634, and the ""Nakajima River Stone Bridge Group."" Many of the more than ten stone bridges were lost due to flood damage in the late Showa Period, but ""Momokeibashi Bridge"" and ""Fukuro-bashi Bridge"" were restored."

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.
