What you’ll do
Perhaps best known for being the site of a WWII tragedy, Nagasaki has rebuilt itself as one of Japan’s most charming port cities, with culturally significant attractions far beyond museums and memorials. You’ll get a three-hour crash course in navigating Nagasaki, from its lively shopping streets to the peaceful Nagasaki Seaside Park – and get plenty of food recommendations at Chinatown along the way. You’ll see the curiously-shaped Fukusai-ji temple, rebuilt after WWII as a mausoleum for fallen Japanese soldiers, but you’ll also experience the side of Nagasaki’s history you might be less familiar with at the European-style Oura Cathedral and Dutch Slope – a stone-paved street with the former Western-style residences of foreign traders.
