Nagasaki, Kyushu
Nagasaki (Japanese: 長崎市, Nagasaki-shi) is the capital and the largest city of Nagasaki Prefecture in Japan. It was formerly part of Nishisonogi District. Nagasaki was a center of European influence in feudal Japan from first contact through the isolationist era until the opening of Japan and the resultant modernization of Japan during the Meiji Restoration. It became a major Imperial Japanese Navy base during the First Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War.
Also, the city became the second and last city in the world to be bombed by a nuclear weapon (plutonium bomb), following Hiroshima.
There are many interesting travel spots around Nagasaki and among them are the Nagasaki Peace Park that commemorates the loss of lives due to the horrible times when the A bomb dropped. There is another Peace Park of the likes in Hiroshima as well. It is our duty as human beings to visit these parks because today, more than ever, we need to know how devastating war is and remember so that history shall not repeat itself again.
ANother place of visit would be Sofukuji, an Obaku Zen temple with a Chinese appearance. The temple is really a beautiful sight to behold that and is a school to Japanese Zen Buddhism.
Other places of interests are:
Confucian Shrine, Chinatown, Meganebashi, Glover Garden, Oura Church, Dutch Slope.
