The 35 best bridges in Nagasaki

(Translated by Google) Ishibashi is famous. (Original) 石橋が有名ですよね。

(Translated by Google) It's very picturesque and lovely - I like walking along the river. (Original) 風情があって素敵〜 川沿いを歩くのが好きです

An interesting temple complex that we visited in October. We stopped by near closing time (5pm) and were almost locked in (there's a small side door that we were able to use to get out). They had a spot where you could buy lucky cat charms.

Nice serene temple featuring the same deities as the other temples in the area, but on a bigger scale. 300¥ per entry.

Located in the Teramachi (“temple”) district, this is the oldest Chinese-style temple in Nagasaki and is designated as an Important Cultural Property. Surprisingly, there was no one else, so it was very peaceful and quiet. It truly feels like something different from ordinary Japanese temples. There is an entrance fee, but it is definitely worth it.

Big piece of estate. Many temples, shrines and cemeteries dot the landscape. Lots of staircase to climb too. But the view from the top is peaceful and nice.

Beautiful shrine, cheap entry, quick to navigate, you can take nice photos

The grounds of this temple are so well kept and there is a lot of history. Admission was about ¥400 but it was worth seeing some of the artifacts and exploring the temple grounds. There are places to sit and relax as well.

Kofukuji Temple is the oldest and one of the most important Chinese-founded temples in Nagasaki. Located in the city's Teramachi ("Temple Town") district, it is the birthplace of the Obaku school of Zen Buddhism in Japan and has many interesting features.

Beautiful area and bridge with plenty of seating to sit and relax. Reflection off the water gives a mirroring effect and makes the bridge even more stunning. Water so clear with beautiful fish floating around making it even more tranquil.

A nice little scenic side quest when visiting Nagasaki. The bridge does look a bit like a pair of spectacles when you see the reflection. For the brave there are stone steps leading across the water so you can take a picture from the water level. When down at this spot you may notice one of the Heart Stones in the canal wall. All is all a decent photo stop

This stone bridge has a history spanning over 400 years. Although it was repaired in 1983 due to flood damage, it was reconstructed to keep its original arch shape. About 80% of the damaged stones were recovered and reused, showing the effort to preserve its original appearance as much as possible. It’s said there may even be a “heart stone” hidden in the embankment. The cloudy, hot, and humid weather actually made our stroll near the bridge feel pleasant. You can walk down the path along the river to enjoy the bridge from a different angle. It must be especially beautiful to visit during the bloom of shidarezakura, as the pathway is lined with these graceful cherry trees.

Megane Bridge is one of Nagasaki’s must-see landmarks, even among the many charming bridges that span the Nakashima River. Its twin arches create the famous “spectacle” reflection that gives it its name. The area is lovely for a leisurely walk, with small shops and cosy cafes nearby to explore. A free and photogenic activity, it’s a peaceful spot that beautifully captures the character of historic Nagasaki.

Megane Bridge is one of Nagasaki’s most iconic landmarks and a must-visit spot for anyone exploring the city. Built in the 17th century, it’s the oldest stone arch bridge in Japan and gets its name “Megane,” meaning “spectacles,” because its twin arches reflect on the river to form the shape of eyeglasses. The area around the bridge is peaceful and picturesque, especially on a sunny day or in the evening when the lights are reflected on the water. The stone paths, small temples, and charming shops nearby create a relaxing atmosphere perfect for a short stroll or taking photos. It’s also a great place to feel the blend of Japanese and Western influences that characterize Nagasaki’s history. Whether you’re interested in architecture, photography, or simply want a calm break from the city, Megane Bridge is definitely worth a visit.

Great bridge for viewing but does not look like what its name suggests. Called Megane-Bridge which is supposed to look like spectacles, but I don't see it. It is just a regular bridge. The waterway is nice though, and there are plenty of koi. Be sure to look for the heart shaped rock.

Very authentic bridge. During the shape of a glasses. The Neighbourhood is super quiet, but it is connected today market Street of shin chi Chinatown. Very cool place to visit lots of restaurants coffee shop, restaurant around

This is such an important preservation of knowledge and information. It angers me beyond words of how people of today's era still believe that war brings peace! How many ppl have to die to save others? Why must so many innocent lives become play piece of the few in power? Take the tram from Nagasaki Station , cheaper than the buses and quicker too. Tickets at 200 ¥ per adult

This museum is truly heartbreaking, so many innocent lives were lost. May these exhibits remind us never to repeat such a tragedy again. I learned a lot from the personal testimonials of those who lived through it. There was no line when we bought our tickets, and the entrance fee is ¥200 per person.

Tragical but important part of the world’s history Not very big but informative museum. You’ll find a lot of information about historical events of 9 August 1945. There are many items from that day displayed, so you can understand the level of damages. You can also feel all the feelings of people survived with the help of movies with memories. Next to the museum located the monument of the hypocenter, there is Peace park nearby - I recommend you to visit it as well even you’re tired, there are escalators and stairs both to enter.

Visited on August 30, on a sweltering summer afternoon — stepping inside felt like a relief from the unbearable heat. The museum was busy with both local and international visitors, yet it remained quiet and respectful. There’s also a small café inside where you can take a short break and cool off. The exhibits are deeply moving — photos, artifacts, and stories that reveal the unimaginable destruction and human suffering caused by the blast. Some displays were hard to look at, but they remind you why peace is something we should never take for granted. A powerful and thought-provoking visit — not an easy experience, but an important one for anyone who wants to understand history beyond the textbooks.

Visiting the Nagasaki Museum was one of the most powerful experiences of my life. The place is both beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. I couldn’t hold back my tears — and I wasn’t the only one. Many local visitors around me were crying too, feeling the same deep sorrow and empathy. The exhibits make you feel as if you were there at the very moment of the bombing — it’s incredibly real and moving. It’s not just a museum; it’s a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of peace. I left with a heavy heart but also a stronger desire to share its message with the world. I would recommend this place to everyone who believes in peace and wants to understand the true cost of war.

One of the best war museum i ever went! The museum has a great narrative exhibition. It not too overwhelmed with information. Spending about 2 hours here. Its worth to drive from Fukuoka to here. Parking at museum also cheapest among other parking near museum. Highly recommended for those who loves war museum.

Good museum to learn about the world war and bombing in Nagasaki. Very informative and interactive, lots of personal documents have been recovered to tell the real experiences and stories of the people affected. Very chilling and sad stories to read about, but important to know how they were affected

We visited Nagasaki in October and stayed in a hotel just outside Chinatown. At nighttime, you can see all the pretty lights. But most of the shops were closed when we walked through one Friday night. Even some of the restaurants were closed by 8pm. Walking through the practically deserted streets was a bit eerie (although you don't feel unsafe).

Nagasaki Shinchi Chinatown is a lively mix of sights, smells, and flavours that captures the city’s multicultural spirit. Though compact, it’s packed with charm—bright lanterns, colourful shopfronts, and tempting street food at every turn. It’s more relaxed than bigger Chinatowns but still full of character, making it a fun place to wander, snack, and soak up the atmosphere, especially in the evening when the lights come on.

We really enjoyed walking through Nagasaki Chinatown. There are lots of shops and restaurants to explore, and the atmosphere is lively and colorful. We had a great meal while we were there, and it’s also a great spot for photos. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Nagasaki!

Had visited at around 5pm on a Thursday and it was barely open. It was only 1 street and you could go across it in less than 3 min. It had an interesting shop with cute souvenir and decoration items but the food stalls and shops were either out of food or were closed. We finally settled on a Chinese restaurant in the area and their noodles were one of the most depressing ones we've ever had. The noodles in the nagasaki champon were half cooked and even the dan dan noodles lacked flavour. Nagasaki was beautiful but maybe this place is not worth visiting.

Not very big, and not especially vibrant or bustling compared to other Chinatowns I've visited around the world. A regular street with a few Chinese shops and decorations, I found it disappointing as a place to visit rather than to just pass through.

Nagasaki Chinatown, or Shinchi Chinatown, is the oldest Chinatown in Japan, established in the 17th century. It originated when Chinese traders settled in Nagasaki during Japan’s period of national isolation (sakoku), as Nagasaki was one of the few ports open to limited foreign trade. The Chinese were confined to a specific district—Shinchi—to control their interactions with locals. Over time, Shinchi evolved into a vibrant cultural and commercial center, blending Chinese traditions with Japanese influences. Today, it stands as a symbol of Nagasaki’s long history of international exchange and remains a hub of Chinese cuisine, architecture, and festivals—most famously the Nagasaki Lantern Festival.

A must-visit if you are nearby. This Chinatown is small, but you can enjoy some delicious Chinese and Japanese cuisine. I will recommend trying Champon and Castella. You can also buy souvenirs. There is also a Ghibli souvenir store here.

Super cool interactive museum. Wish there were more signs in English but you could get the gist from the surrounding artifacts. The staff were kind and helpful. The building is also very nice and modern.

l really enjoyed my visit. You can try different experiences like sending telegram, printing old style newspaper even taking old style photopragh. lt was enlightening about Nagasaki's history especially with foreign communities. By the end of the tour, l completed my quiz and received a gatcha gatcha present. The staff was kind and warm welcoming. lt was a pleasure to visit the museum.

This is a truly great museum. I found myself getting emotional while reading the stories and seeing the debris left from the bombings and war in Nagasaki. There is so much to learn, and the exhibits are thoughtfully designed to be both interactive and engaging. The museum also features a cinema and a variety of traditional houses where you can sit in the living areas to experience the Japanese way of life. Everything is clean, spacious, and well-organized. Highly recommended!

Museum at Nagasaki near city hall. Was security post of castle so the stone wall and wood gate is huge and awesome. Inside the museum not only exhibition, there are performances, crafting experience and great restaurant as well. Can spend around 2-3 hours here. Nice place.

The pokemon exhibition was worth every penny. The rest of the museum was also worth checking out, very informative around the culture and history of the city.

An interesting museum tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. The museum is divided into two zones. There is a permanent exhibition of artwork, historical manuscripts and handicrafts; illustrating Nagasaki's rich history serving as Japan's window to the rest of the world during its period of isolation. There are sections dedicated to the trade and cultural exchange with Korea, China and the West, in particular the Netherlands. The other zone consists of the Nagasaki Magistrate's Office which was reconstructed based on historical drawings and which can be accessed from the side of the building. I really regretted going to the museum in the late afternoon. I was only able to finish touring the permanent exhibition (which took almost one and a half hours) before closing time.

A must visit when in Nagasaki. ( This should be the first thing to visit when in Nagasaki.) As a tourist, it is an ideal place to give you an introduction about Nagasaki and what to expect around the area. Divided into 2 permanent galleries. Beautifully curated and interactive display. A good itinerary together with the nearby attractions- Suwa shrine Tetayama air-raid shelter(opens at 9:30am), and Sto.Domingo Church Museum ( opens at 9:00sm) - a good half day itinerary. The museum opens at 8:30am.

Visited in October. The Nagasaki Dejima Wharf area has a number of eateries located near the water. Nice views of the harbor and mountain in the backdrop. There seemed to be a lot of western-style restaurants located here.

Visited Dejima Wharf on a late summer afternoon. Of August 30, 2025. The harbor was a bit hazy, but still beautiful in its own calm way. It was a hot day, so not many people were strolling along the wharf — most were relaxing inside the nearby restaurants. There’s also a park close to the wharf where many locals were picnicking, walking their dogs, or meeting friends. It was such a lovely and peaceful scene to witness.

Nagasaki Dejima Wharf is a fantastic place to take photos, with its picturesque waterfront and scenic views. The area is well-known for its vibrant atmosphere and beautiful sunsets, making it a popular spot for both tourists and locals. In addition to its photographic appeal, Dejima Wharf offers a variety of dining options. While the food here can be a bit more expensive compared to other places, the quality and variety make it worth it. From fresh seafood to international cuisine, there’s something to satisfy every palate.

Nothing much Resturant mostly close in afternoon I think night will be a better option.

Great place to sit and watch the bay during sunset. Some food outlets, all ok but not great. Sitting outside next to the yachts and enjoying the lights go on around bay area was super relaxing.

Good place for an evening walk and meal.

A nice place for evening walk from dejima wharf to nagasaki park. Good place for watching the sunset and all kind of seafood dining. Restaurants here at the wharf are known for live seafood serving; you can literally see the fish, crab moving in your plate as they serve. So you can see how fresh the seafood are being served here. All major hotels, restaurants can be found nearby. People are very courteous and well behaved. Ample space available in seaside park for play, meditation.

Loved the convenience of this terminal, how it's close to everything and you can get on the tram, one of the highlights of Nagasaki. From here you can go to the Peace park.

A place for walking around and chill out. There are many caffe places.

Ferry pier to get to different outlying islands. Fares a bit steep though.

No confusion on finding the right place to be 😁

Very beautiful view!

Magnificent

(Translated by Google) If you plan to join the Gunkanjima tour, the meeting point is this unique-looking dock building. The building itself is avant-garde and very eye-catching. In addition to the detailed introduction of the dock history and related information, the museum also has souvenir shops and gourmet restaurants. Whether you are waiting to board the ship or after the tour, you can stroll here leisurely. There is also a public parking lot near the building, which is affordable and very convenient for self-driving tourists. The Gunkanjima tour itself is very interesting. The yacht sets sail from Nagasaki Port, and you can see the harbor scenery along the way. The shipyards and steel mills on both sides are scattered, and many warships can be seen on the way. The strong industrial atmosphere and historical atmosphere are intertwined. The influence of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries can be seen everywhere, making the whole journey full of exploration. Whether you are an industrial fan, a military fan, a history enthusiast, or just want to appreciate the style of Nagasaki from different angles, this Gunkanjima tour that combines history and landscape is definitely worth experiencing in person.

Glover Garden is a lovely destination that beautifully showcases the rich history of Nagasaki and its development. It's a photogenic spot that appeals to photography enthusiasts, capturing the charm of the area perfectly. As I walked through the displayed homes, I was filled with nostalgia, as they reminded me of my childhood home in Pennsylvania. The small, inviting architecture felt so familiar, evoking cherished memories from my upbringing. Strolling through the gardens and homes created a delightful connection to both my past and the fascinating history of Nagasaki. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a blend of beauty and heritage!

I visited Glover Garden on an excruciatingly hot August weekend. Honestly, I wish I had gone in fall, winter, or spring—it was far too hot to stop and fully admire the beautiful scenery. Still, I managed to capture the stunning view of Nagasaki Harbor from Glover House, which made the visit worthwhile. Surprisingly, even though it was a weekend, the garden wasn’t very crowded, so it felt calm and easy to explore. Summer isn’t the best time to visit if you can’t handle the heat and humidity. Cooler seasons would make strolling through the gardens far more enjoyable. Admission is ¥620 for adults, and while there’s no free parking on-site, several paid parking lots are conveniently located nearby.

We visited Glover Garden during our trip to Nagasaki, and honestly, it felt like stepping back into a romantic chapter of history. Set on the hillside of Minami-Yamate, the garden is full of charming Western-style buildings from the Meiji era, including the famous Glover Residence—the oldest Western-style wooden house in Japan. Walking along the cobblestone paths lined with seasonal flowers, I loved how the architecture blends Western design with Japanese roof tiles and beautiful gardens. Inside the Glover House, the period furniture and sunlit rooms really made it easy to imagine life back then for foreign merchants living here. The views over Nagasaki Harbor from different spots were absolutely breathtaking—the crisp air, distant mountains, and sparkling bay made for some of my favorite photo moments. One fun surprise was finding the “Heart Stones” hidden along the paths—there’s a local legend that couples who find and touch them will stay together, which added a cute, romantic touch to the visit. What I really appreciated was the peaceful vibe of the whole place. It wasn’t overcrowded, so we could take our time exploring and just soak in the atmosphere. The garden is easy to navigate with escalators and plenty of benches to relax on, making the visit comfortable and leisurely. If you’re visiting Nagasaki, I’d definitely recommend Glover Garden. It’s a beautiful mix of history, architecture, and nature that makes for a really memorable experience.

Very nice gardens, easy to walk through, even though it's on a hillside. To go up there are escalators, to go down stairs or ramps. The tea house seems to be closed until 2027, but not sure as I don't read Japanese. But there is a coffee truck available just next to it.

Props to the guy in TripAdvisor who gave this advice/hack: “take the tram to the terminus of Line 5 at Ishibashi; it's only a short walk from there (150m) to the Glover Sky Road where you can ride the funicular/elevator to the upper entrance/exit (Gate 2) of Glover Garden. Once in the Garden itself, it's much more of a gentle downhill stroll to take in the various properties on your way down to the lower exit near Oura Cathedral.” Trust me this is the way to do it otherwise you will be hoofing it uphill and a lot of stairs. There are escalators taking you up to various parts of the garden but it is MUCH easier to start at the top and work your way downhill. I was super chuffed :) Our ship docked just a quick walk to the tram station, and it’s only 150¥ pp to ride (you can pay cash). They do sell day passes at the information center by the cruise port - which will give you access to all over Nagasaki if you want to visit the Peace Park or Atomic Bomb museum. The garden itself was lovely - not the most amazing place I’ve seen in Japan - but definitely worth a visit. You can enter the homes which are very neat to see but nothing life changing if you’ve seen western style colonial homes before. Also FYI the vending machines just outside of Glover Garden are much cheaper than the ones inside. No sweet potato machines but there’s a very cool massive capsule machine when you exit the gift shop! Upon exiting there is a little street running downhill full of amazing shops, a lot selling the famous Nagasaki cakes - but my favorite was the glass shop (you can’t miss it) - so much beautiful jewelry and glass souvenirs!

Nice place to visit during weekday. But you need to do some walking to see more scenarios. There are escalator up hill and eatery as well

Visiting Peace Park in Nagasaki was a deeply moving and unforgettable experience. We happened to visit on August 6, just days before the anniversary of the atomic bombing, and could feel the quiet sense of reflection as the park was being carefully prepared for the upcoming memorial. The atmosphere was both solemn and powerful — a space that speaks volumes without needing many words. Standing before the iconic Peace Statue and walking through the serene grounds made us pause and reflect on the importance of peace, resilience, and remembrance. If you visit Nagasaki, this is a place that truly stays with you.

Peace Park in Nagasaki is beautifully laid out, clean, and free to enter. The park features many impressive commemorative statues donated by countries around the world, each with its own message of peace. Facilities are well maintained, including clean toilets and a refreshing water fountain. If arriving from the Peace Park tram stop, convenient escalators take you up to the top for an easy start to your visit.

A peaceful open space in Nagasaki dedicated to remembering the victims of the atomic bombing. It’s quiet and calm, with statues and monuments. There’s also a working escalator for easy access. No entrance fee. Visited last week of September 2025.

Lots of school children and tourists visiting the park tourists on the day we went. This clean, well-maintained memorial of one of the most horrible events in modern history is remarkable. Along with ruins of structures, a huge statue, and a fountain are numerous gifted sculptures from countries including Argentina, Turkey, United States, and New Zealand. Art from Japan includes sculptures and thousands of origami cranes.

Step back and learn a little history at this park. Easily accessible with a tram stop nearby. This park commemorates the atomic bombing. There is the peace statue & museum. Visited during the week and large school groups about but there’s plenty of space. Toilets are also available.

A good place to visit, accessibility is good with the escalaters. It's very well laid out, maybe this is why it does not have the impact of Hiroshima though and it's partly destroyed buildings.

Historical place commemorating the terrible devastation, suffering, and loss of lives during WW2, when an atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. The actual spot of the epicentre was marked by a cenotaph in the park. [The 2nd atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima] Don't just visit the park, do tour the museum where you can learn more about the past.

Serene park for solemn prayers and remembrance. Was nice to sit on a bench and have lunch from a nearby convenience store. There were quite a few schoolchildren on field trips. A must visit if you're going to see Peace Park and the Atomic Bomb museum.

It was the hypocentre for the atomic bomb. A memorial has been set up. With plenty of other statues that symbolised peace. Toilet and water dispenser available. I came on a weekday afternoon but the weather was gloomy and cloudy so it was fine. It can get really hot on summer. Umbrella is recommended.

Hypocenter Park marks the exact ground zero of the atomic bombing in Nagasaki. The park is thoughtfully designed, with a simple yet powerful memorial monument at the center, surrounded by peaceful greenery and seating. Clean, well maintained, and free to visit, it provides a reflective space to contemplate the city’s history and the resilience of its people.

I felt very sad when I saw this momument. How those victims experience such horrific tradegy. May all of them rest in peace. It's hard to imagine this is the hypocenter during detonation, the heat and pressure instantly vapourize evething within 1km radius. The ground I'm stepping on is where all these victims lies 80 years ago. Unimaginable.

Hypocenter Park is not just a park; it's a profound testament to the devastating power of nuclear weapons and the resilience of the human spirit. Standing at the very epicenter of the atomic bomb explosion, one can't help but feel the weight of history and the immense loss suffered on that fateful day. It's a place for reflection, remembrance, and a renewed commitment to peace. The monuments, particularly the Cenotaph with the names of the victims, are deeply moving. While the experience is undeniably somber, there's also a sense of hope. The park itself, with its greenery and signs of life, symbolizes Nagasaki's recovery and the enduring human spirit. It's a stark reminder of the consequences of war and a powerful call for peace.

Its a serene place with some good statues in memory of the atomic bomb explosion

Really important place that everyone should visit. There's multiple monuments and memorials as you explore the park, but the biggest is the tower in the center of the concentric rings. It's free to enter and visit. Be courteous and respectful.

Yossou is a gem tucked conveniently within a shopping street in Nagasaki. The ambiance is lovely—calm and traditional—with a charming, rustic exterior that makes you feel like you’re stepping into a piece of history. The menu offers a good variety, and I went with the sashimi set meal. The sashimi was fresh and satisfying, with just the right portion size. But the true standout was the chawanmushi—hands down the best I’ve ever had. It was delicate, silky, and deeply flavorful, with chunks of chicken, seafood, and mushroom hidden inside that added layers of umami to every spoonful. Only after my visit did I learn that chawanmushi originated in Nagasaki, which explains why this version was several notches above any I’ve tried elsewhere. A fantastic dining experience all around—well worth a visit if you’re in Nagasaki.

"This place blew us away! Best chawanmushi ever!" We arrived around 4pm and were seated right away, which was great. We came specifically for their famous chawanmushi and it was even better than we expected! It was incredibly silky and smooth, like velvet! It seriously just melted in my mouth. The flavor was so delicate and perfectly seasoned. And can we talk about the size of that bowl?! It was enormous and could have easily been a meal in itself. We also ordered the tempura and sushi set, and it was a fantastic choice. The tempura was light and crispy, not greasy at all, and the sushi was super fresh. Honestly, every single thing we ate was delicious. The restaurant itself has a really nice, traditional atmosphere, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Nagasaki!

Found this place on Google maps, filled with locals during lunch time and the price was around SGD$50 for 2 adults. Love the traditional style seating where you can seat on the floor or on low seating. They have an English version of the menu that you can order from a device. Not many options, their speciality was the Chawanmushi, and I ordered the ala carte version and it was the largest one I’ve ever had in my life. The steamed custard egg was filled with various types of fish cakes, mushroom and a ginkgo nut. Smooth and silky, just like how it should be. Food was average overall - tasty and fresh enough but not something to be totally wowed about. Parking is a little tight around the area, so if you are driving, and you find an available parking space on the way through the narrow streets, do consider parking there.

We ordered a braised pork set and s sashimi set each. The amount of food was reasonable, but I would say not something you would shout about. The chawanmushi was indeed the most delicious we have tried. It was smooth and comes with good flavours and ingredients, without having to add any additional flavouring to it.

The main highlight of this place is definitely the chawamushi. It’s really good and recommend that you order the large one. The other dishes here are nice but the best is definitely chawamushi. Service is good and ambience/ decoration is beautiful - local Japanese design.

My teenage daughter and I had lunch here today after reading many wonderful reviews about it. This place originally opened in 1866. We had the chawanmushi set as well as a maki set. The food was good, but it is not something to get excited over. The chawanmushi was a bit too watery for me. There is seating on the first floor (where shoes can be kept on) and upper floors where one must remove shoes to enter. All in all, we had a good meal.

Not sure if they'd changed the opening hours as Google maps says opening hours at 5pm, but we went there at 4pm on a Sunday afternoon and promptly got seated. The Chawamushi was as advertised with silky texture and a wonderful fragrance. The 3 topping rice was meh though. The seasonal fried oysters were tasty too. Overall a pleasant dining experience especially without the wait.

We enjoyed a beautiful sunset here. The ride and the views were truly wonderful. Although the viewing deck was crowded, it was still easy to find a spot to sit and take in the sun and breeze. There are also cafés nearby where you can relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

We enjoyed the rope car ride up and down the mountain, which allowed us to capture the views alongside the mountain. The weather was cool and the cafe had lovely cakes.. but the most amazing view was to be had at the top of the observatory. Arriving just before sunset means you get a better collection of the riot of colours as the sun set

Of all the places we visited in Nagasaki during my day tour, the Observatory was definitely the highlight. It’s a stunning spot, and the long night walk from Tram Station 26 to the cable car entrance was totally worth it—though I’m sure there’s an easier route I didn’t know about then. The entrance and round-trip cable car ticket cost ¥1,250, and it was well worth it for the view. There was an ojisan who offered to take photos with the city’s night skyline for an extra fee. We took 2 photos as a souvenir. We visited Nagasaki in the last week of September 2025.

READ BEFORE GOING: Go two hours before sunset and bring drinks and food from 7/11 or Lawson. You can eat while waiting for sunset. Take the bus to the base of Nagasaki Inasa Slope Station it was Bus #5 pay with IC or cash 190 yen from Nagasaki Station. Unless you’re a fan of Ropeway or slope cars you can save yourself 1,000 yen and walk up stairs 650m or less than .25 miles. As long as you’re young or reasonable healthy it’s fine. The free shuttle someone else mention only runs at night so you miss sunset. Bring layers because it get cold up top when sunsets and night view is worth staying for too. Buses are frequent. They do have a drink vending machine, bathroom, and indoor seating. Going up to top floor was free maybe because off season less tourist. They have anoodle shop on peak season. I’d definitely recommend.

We went here by ropeway (where at the ground station, you can buy a coin for it and observatory) just before the sun set (around 15 minutes, sun was already just above the horizon), so some of the best spots were taken. Though most people were interested in the other side which is the Nagasaki city by night, which at first we didn't understand. The views from both sides are quite remarkable and different. On one side you have an ocean and wild nature, green hills etc. on the other there is a bustling city. Since it's a tower on a mountain top it can be quite chilly and windy, though since it's also quite popular you have a natural wind shield most of the time. Some people wrote that you should be here and hour earlier, so maybe we were lucky but we got the photos from the first line without problems. If you come by car there is a free parking next to the cable car station, though you can also drive up, however the parking next to the observatory on the mountain top was closed when we were there. If you come by ropeway or slope car there is an additional attraction of the blue bridge in the tree tops. The observatory is free, so only parking/ropeway cost 1250 round way ( and offers additional views of the city)

An excellent place to visit and view Nagasaki in both daylight and at night. The cable car is a fun way to ride up to the top, although there can be queues either up or down. Take note, taxis seem to sometimes not be able/willing to collect from the top.

360° View over Nagasaki city and its surroundings. Beautiful experience, especially at sunset. It was a bit windy and chilly on the top of the viewing platform, but you can also enjoy the view from the inside. There are toilets and a small café inside.

Very vivid remnants or reconstructions of the devastation of the atom bomb. It's is smaller than the Hiroshima museum but with equally dramatic photos, testimony of survivors. It's an important place to see as Nagasaki is one of the two cities to be atom bombed. Hope there is never another ....

The Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims is a solemn and thoughtfully designed space, free to enter either through the museum or from the street front. Inside, exhibits and memorials honor the victims, offering a quiet, reflective experience. The facility is clean, well maintained, and deeply moving.

The Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum documents the history of the atomic bombing on August 9, 1945, and advocates for world peace and the abolition of nuclear weapons. It features exhibits on the events leading up to the bombing, artifacts from the aftermath (such as melted glass, twisted metal, and personal belongings), firsthand accounts from survivors, and the destructive effects of the bomb on people and the city. The museum also includes displays on the history of nuclear weapons and their devastating impact. Key features and exhibits History and timeline: Chronological displays cover the history of the bombing, from the events that led up to it, to the city's reconstruction. Artifacts from the bombing: Exhibits include a clock that stopped at 11:02 a.m. (the time of the explosion), burned clothing, melted glass, and a water tower warped by the blast. Human impact: The museum has sections dedicated to the human cost, including photographs, accounts, and artifacts showing the effects of radiation and blast injuries. Nuclear weapons: There are displays on the history of nuclear weapons development and a life-size model of the "Fat Man" bomb. Peace and advocacy: The museum's overall purpose is to promote peace and prevent future nuclear warfare, a theme that continues in the nearby Nagasaki Peace Park. Information and support: The museum provides video rooms with survivor testimonies and offers multilingual captions to assist visitors. Note: you can get bird paper crane origami near the entrance, it's a symbolic gift based from true story of atomic bomb victim

This sombre facility pays respect to the victims of the atomic bomb drop on Nagasaki. If you're already at the Atomic Bomb Museum, it is a short walk over and admission is free. It is worth the time to pay your respects.

It is a place worth visiting. Be prepared to walk to see all of it. It is spread out but I feel every step was worth it. Inside the museum it was very difficult to see what nuclear weapons do to a human body. This is a lesson for the world to heed.

Adjacent to the atomic bomb museum. Mainly to commemorate the victims and those who passed away. Peaceful vibe.

Well just a must to come here to see what a nuclear bomb can do to humans and hope there will be no more of this. Peace to the world

We visited Suwa Shrine 諏訪神社 in October. This is a sprawling Shinto shrine located a top a very long set of stairs. During our visit, they were setting up for a festival so there were plenty of workers climbing up and down the stairs. It was super hot on this day which made the climb up the stairs a bit tiring. One you get up the main steps, there's plenty of things to look at and you can also walk to other nearby shrines in the area.

A beautiful and peaceful shrine, perfect for those looking to experience a spiritual and cultural site in the city. With no entrance fee and fewer crowds during the weekdays, it offers a quiet and reflective atmosphere. The temple grounds are well maintained, featuring traditional architecture, sacred monuments, and a serene ambiance. As an important Shinto shrine, it holds deep historical and cultural significance. A great place to explore, appreciate Japan’s spiritual heritage, and enjoy a moment of tranquility 🧘away from the city's busy streets.

For anyone looking to visit here for late night walks, this place was hauntingly serene. Barely any visitors around 10pm. The koi pond and main temple are accessible at all times. However, the long walkway with many toriis was unfortunately closed off after regular visiting hours. No entrance fee just walk up and explore peacefully

This was the only shrine in Nagasaki where I received a goshuin, which cost around ¥500. It was drizzling when we visited, making the stairs slippery and uneven, so be sure to hold on to the handrails. The climb up is quite long, but reaching the shrine and offering a prayer made it all worth it. Visited in the last week of September.

One of the most beautiful and tranquil shrine in Nagasaki! The shrine being located at a mountain top takes you away from the hustle and bustle of the city which helps to relax and calm you.The shrine itself was large, spacious and well-kept which added to the tranquilness. The highlight for me was it has one of the best overview shot of the city of Nagasaki that I have seen. I managed to get a goshuin and a limited edition autumn charm which was awesome. Overall, highly recommend making a pitstop here to reset your mind and body!

Beautiful big shrine overlooking Nagasaki. It’s a bit of a hike up the 277 stone steps but well worth it. There is a koi pond, a waterfall, and a small shrine with many torii behind it. Nearby there is a free zoo, an “unusual road” with trees growing down the middle, and another shrine Matsumori Tenmangu with a cute flock of chickens.

Enjoyed this temple. Lots of nooks and crannies. Had the place to myself in the morning. Tori gates reminded me of fushimi inari. Have to walk a bunch of stairs but truly hidden gem or slept on

Amazing look back at a samurai and friends influence on a changing Japan!

It's thrilling to think that samurai discussed politics in such a small house. If you are a fan of the history of the end of the Edo period, you will be impressed.

Super Hero Ryoma was here. How awesome is that 😂

If you're interested in Sakamoto Ryoma, one of the most interesting characters in modern Japanese (bakumatsu) history, this is a must-see. Be prepared for lots , and I mean lots, of climbing stairs through a graveyard.

(Translated by Google) It took quite a climb to reach the site. The remains of Kameyama Shachu. The building is small, with only two rooms. Still, as a history buff, I enjoyed it. There aren't many things to see, so I recommend visiting it along with Ryoma's Boots Statue and Kazegashira Park. However, it does involve quite a bit of walking, so be prepared. (Along the way, there are plenty of Ryoma Street signs and small bronze statues, so it's fun to see them too.) The building itself is built like an ordinary private home, and the entrance was hard to find, so I ended up wandering around the garden for a moment. (Original) なかなかの階段をのぼって辿り着きました。 亀山社中の跡。 館内は狭く、部屋が二つあるくらいです。 それでも歴史好きですので楽しむことができました。 見どころは多くはないので龍馬のぶーつ像や風頭公園と一緒に訪問するのをおすすめしますが、トータルでかなり歩くのでその点は覚悟した方がいいと思います。（道中には龍馬通りの看板や小さい銅像などもたくさんあるのでそれを見るのも楽しいです） 建物は普通の民家のようなつくりで入り口が分かりづらく一瞬庭でウロウロしてしまいました。

(Translated by Google) A place I wanted to visit: Kameyama Shachu Memorial Museum, associated with Sakamoto Ryoma. The first company in Japan founded by Ryoma. Items related to Ryoma, such as replicas of his boots, a pistol, copies of his letters, and photos of the Kameyama Shachu patriots, are on display. Nearby, there's a popular photo spot, a statue of Ryoma's boots, where I got to feel a little like Ryoma himself while holding the ship's steering wheel. ❤️ After panting up a narrow, steep slope, I reached the top. Kameyama Shachu, a trading company and political organization, began trading firearms with Glover & Co., which worked to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate. They also engaged in commercial activities such as supplying weapons to the feudal domains, transporting supplies, and conducting navigation training. They also mediated the restoration of the strained relationship between the Satsuma and Choshu domains. They played a major role in the formation of the Satsuma-Choshu Alliance. Wow, that's amazing! ❗️ I'm glad I came. (Original) 行きたかった場所 坂本龍馬ゆかりの亀山社中記念館 龍馬が結成した日本初の カンパニー 龍馬のブーツのレプリカやピストル、書簡の写し、亀山社中の志士達の写真などゆかりの品々が展示近くには、記念撮影スポットとして人気の龍馬のぶーつ像があって船の操舵輪を握りながら龍馬になった気分をちょっピリッ味わってみた❤️ 狭くて急な上り坂をﾌｰﾌｰ言いながら登った先には 貿易会社と政治組織を兼ねた亀山社中、徳川幕府の倒幕を目的とした活動を行うグラバー商会と銃器の取引を開始し、藩に武器を卸す商業活動や物資の輸送や航海訓練なども行い、険悪だった薩摩藩と長州藩の関係回復の仲介。薩長同盟の締結に大きな役割を果たした う～すごい❗️ 来て良かった

(Translated by Google) When I visited before the renovation (more than 20 years ago), a kind elderly man gave me a detailed explanation and the atmosphere was very nice, but this time it felt a bit unwelcoming, like a commercial facility, which was disappointing. Perhaps the manager has changed? (Original) 改修される前（20年以上前）に訪れたときには親切なご老人が詳しく説明してくださりとても良い雰囲気でしたが、今回はなぜか商業施設ような感じのよそよそしい雰囲気で残念でした。 管理されている方が変わったのでしょうか？

The entrance fee is quite high (¥660), but decided to go because I was curious to learn more about the history of Confucianism and Chinese influence in Nagasaki. But, the museum is only in Japanese. The temple itself is beautiful, but if you've seen many Confucius temples before and cannot speak or read Japanese, I doubt you will get much out of this visit. I wouldn't recommend going.

My wife had found this ... Fascinating and lots of history of Chinese Buddhism in Nagasaki. Entrance fee included museum (good exhibits. No photos allowed, signage in Japanese / Chinese). You can buy koi food to feed the fish in a small pond.

This Confucius Shrine in Nagasaki is a vibrant slice of China! The architecture is stunning, with intricate details and bright colors that really stand out. Walking around, you'll see impressive statues of Confucius and his 72 disciples. There's also a museum with Chinese historical artifacts, making it a unique cultural experience in Japan. It's a peaceful and interesting place to visit, offering a different perspective from typical Japanese shrines. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Nagasaki! The Nagasaki Confucius Shrine is conveniently accessible by the Nagasaki Electric Tramway. From Nagasaki Station, take Tram Line 1 towards Sofukuji. Get off at the Shinchi Chinatown stop (about 7-8 minutes). Transfer to Tram Line 5 towards Ishibashi and get off at either the Oura Kaigan-dori stop (5-minute walk) or the Oura Tenshudo stop (3-minute walk), both of which are close to the shrine. Alternatively, from Nagasaki Station South Exit, you can take a bus (about 10 minutes) and then walk for about 5 minutes to the shrine. The shrine is also within walking distance (around 3 minutes) from the Ishibashi Tram Stop on Line 5.

The Nagasaki Koshibyo Confucius Shrine and Historical Museum of China offers a serene and beautifully maintained glimpse into Chinese culture and history. The vibrant architecture, detailed stone carvings, and tranquil courtyards create a peaceful atmosphere. The museum’s exhibits, though modest in size, showcase the long-standing ties between China and Nagasaki with well-curated artifacts. A short stop, especially for those interested in cultural exchange and architecture.

It is a beautifully restored Chinese Shrine. There is a small museum at the back. All signage is in Chinese and Japanese, but there is a leaflet in English that is given to foreign visitors upon entry. It is pretty informative. The visit costs 660¥.

It is very impressive to visit this attraction, however please note that you won't be able to receive a goshiun stamp here!

Mostly about the importance of Confucius and his disciples in China and their expat communities in Nagasaki & Japan. It was interesting to review the information. However, I would have enjoyed much more information about the historical and contemporary development of local Chinese communities in Nagasaki. Who has contributed and what are their personal stories? Can you show some artifacts and photos/videos about multidimensional community histories that led to the present? Please show the experiences and the perspectives of the community of different occupations, economic class, regions of their origin, ethnicity, gender, generations, among other complexities in the Chinese community in Nagasaki. What are your relationships with China, broader Nagasaki and Japan, and the world? What are your past and contemporary challenges as well as your visions of the future? Can you show the information in more interactive ways like Gunkanjima digital museum? These go beyond Confucius, but I didn’t find such information anywhere else in Nagasaki. As the main or sole museum about the Chinese community in Nagasaki, it would be great if you incorporate it. It would also have been nice to see a space for feedback at the end of the museum display. I bet more people will come to your museum!

Sofukuji was established in 1629 by Nagasaki's Chinese residents who were originally from Fujian Province. All the gates and halls were painted red, which gives it a distinctive appearance. The main temple grounds are located on a hillside and can be reached by entering a two-story tower gate at the bottom and walking up about 50 steps to a smaller inner gate. Since there was no one around to collect the admission fee, I dropped JPY 300 into the offering box in front of the main hall.

Quiet temple, not much activities. Some old architectural building and good place to do reflection. You only pay 500 yen, if you want to enter temple oremises

Architecturally significant Ming dynasty Buddhist temple was constructed in China and re-assembled in Nagasaki. Very atmospheric hillside location. Visitors not allowed inside, but interiors are open to be seen and photographed.

Went on a hot weekday afternoon. Temple was quiet. Admission fee is 300¥ self paid by honest system. Features many buddhas and Mazu. Some portions are under renovation

The best part of this temple is it lies in the heart of the nagasaki city. barely 5-7 minutes walk from any part of the city yet so peaceful and such a lovely monumental

the location is a bit further conoare to what google show. to reach the temple we need to climb wuite a few stairs. the temple itself is big and red. we got like a peaceful vibrate from the place.

This temple needs some maintenance, though it still looks nice with the old paints telling us that this place has an historical value. I went to this temple early morning before hopping on the bus to Nagasaki Bio Park, only myself was visiting this temple at that time.

Unique looking temple, both from inside and outside. There's also a small museum with the third biggest Foucault pendulum in the world (although I didn't really understand why it was placed here) and many exhibits from the WWII period in the basement (free access). The place itself is quiet, almost silent, and surrounded by a cemetery, while the museum seems to be in a bit abandoned state. If there's no one around, the atmosphere might feel slightly frightening due to the temple's grievous past and connection to the lives lost during the war.

Fukusaiji Temple is a striking modern reconstruction of one of Nagasaki’s oldest temples, originally founded in the 1600s and rebuilt after WWII. Its unique turtle-shaped base topped by a giant Kannon statue makes it stand out. Inside hangs a large Foucault pendulum, symbolising peace and the passage of time, gently swaying beneath the temple dome. The climb up is moderately steep, but the tranquil setting and views make it worthwhile. Entry is free, and there are benches to sit and reflect, making it a peaceful and memorable visit.

I stumbled across this beautiful temple while walking around the back roads in Nagasaki. The statue is built on top of the base of a turtle. I didn't pay to go inside but I walked around and took some nice pictures. This is definitely one of the more unique temples that doesn't get a lot of tourist attention.

Beautiful and peaceful, I saw two people when I was leaving after an hour visit. Free to enter, meditate, pray. I played my shakuhachi as an offering to Kwan Yin (Kannon)

Very strange place. A temple completely destroyed by the bomb was rebuilt in this bizarre way - with a goddess standing on a turtle. Inside the goddess is one of the world's largest Foucault penduli. This comes out in the basement which houses a mausoleum with 16,000 WWIl victims and a rather makeshift/creepy museum of some of the temple and peoples' remains. A rather weedy (bicycle?) bell tolls at 11:02 every day (to commemorate the bomb dropping)

A grand temple to visit after a climb. Looked spectacular against the blue sky when I visited. Met a lovely ginger cat that chatted with me before heading off on cat business.

steep and narrow drive up but a peaceful place to be.

(Translated by Google) Dejima Bridge is a single-girder Pratt truss bridge with a length of 36 m that spans the eastern end of Dejima. The characteristics of American bridges from the Meiji era can be seen in the pin-jointed truss structure using eye bars. It is the oldest existing iron road bridge in Japan that has continued to function as a roadway since its construction. Dejima Bridge is one of the bridges built from 1888 to 1890 for road improvements related to the port improvement work at Nagasaki Port.It was built downstream from its current location, and at the time It was called "Shin Kawaguchi Bridge". Later, in 1910, it was moved to its current location and the bridge name was changed to "Dejima Bridge". Although it was renovated after the war, it still retains its original form. (Original) 出島橋は、出島東端に架かる橋長36mのプラットトラス形式の単桁橋です。アイバーを用いたピン結合のトラス構造に、明治期の米国系橋梁の特徴を見ることができます。架設当初より車道としての機能を備え続けている鉄製道路橋として我が国に現存する最古のものです。 出島橋は、長崎港の港湾改良工事に関係した道路整備により、明治21(1888)年から明治23(1890)年に架設された橋梁の一つで、現在地よりも下流に架けられ、当時は「新川口橋」と呼ばれていました。その後、明治43(1910)年に現在地に移設され「出島橋」と橋名が変わります。戦後の改修を経て、なお建設当時の形態を良く留めています。

(Translated by Google) I was wandering around without knowing anything about it when I noticed a strange aura about it, so I decided to go and see it. The truss bridge made of thin steel members is beautiful, reminiscent of the early days, and the bridge plaque is cute and lovely. Dejima Bridge is a famous landmark of Shinchi Chinatown. It deserves more attention! (Original) 何も知らんとウロウロしてるときに異様なオーラを放ってたので見にきましたが、細い鋼材によるトラス橋が黎明期らしくて素敵、橋銘板もキュートで素敵、な新地中華街の名物とも言える出島橋。もっと注目されるべきでしょう！

(Translated by Google) wonderful! I happened to discover it on my way back from Dejima, and was surprised to see that it was built in 1902. The fact that it's still in use today, over 110 years later, must have been well maintained. I learned about trusses in the basics of architectural structural mechanics, but the shape is the same, and the members are thin and delicate, but this is probably the result of structural calculations. It is said to be the oldest iron bridge in service in Japan and an important modernization heritage. (Original) 素晴らしい！出島からの帰途たまたま発見、明治43年架とありびっくりです。110余年後の今日も供用されているなんて・・・、しっかり保守管理されてきたんだろうな。建築の構造力学の初歩で、トラスを学習したけどそのままの形状、部材は細く華奢な感じだけど構造計算された結果からでしょう。わが国で供用中の鉄製橋梁の中で最も古く、重要な近代化遺産だそうだ。

(Translated by Google) 2023/12 It is said on the Internet that it is a hybrid wooden and iron bridge. It may be the oldest iron bridge in operation in Japan since it survived the atomic bombing. (Original) 2023/12 網上說是一座木鐵混合橋，從原爆倖存至今，可能是目前日本最古老還運行的鐵橋。

(Translated by Google) It is a steel bridge that was built in 1902 and is the oldest truss-type iron bridge in operation. Compared to modern bridges, it is very delicate and delicate, but it is a very tasteful bridge. Bridge length: 36.7m, bridge width: 5.5m. It is located right next to Dejima. If you have time, please visit without getting in the way of traffic. (Original) 明治43年に架けられた鋼鉄製の橋で通行できる現役最古のトラス式鉄橋の様です。 現代の橋からすると、とても華奢で繊細な作りですが何とも味のある橋です。 橋長36.7m、橋幅5.5m。 出島のすぐ横に架かっています。 お時間があれば通行の邪魔にならないよう訪れてみてください。

(Translated by Google) It seems to be the oldest iron road bridge in Japan. I had been wondering if there was something like a railroad bridge over the road, but it turned out to be more than just a bridge. . I think it's cool that it's casually standing on the edge of Dejima, and I'm crossing this bridge to work today as well. It's even more beautiful when you come at night! (Original) 日本で一番古い鉄製の道路橋のようです 鉄橋みたいなのが道路にかかってるな〜と気になってはいたのですが、やはりただものではなかった。。 さりげなく出島の端に佇んでる感じもカッコいいなと思っていて、今日もこの橋を渡って仕事場まで向かってます。 夜に来ると一層素敵ですよ！

(Translated by Google) It is said to be the oldest iron bridge in Japan that can be accessed. It's easy to overlook this bridge, but it's a valuable bridge. (Original) 日本で通行できる鉄橋としては一番古い橋のようです。何気なく見過ごしがちですが貴重な橋です。

The Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen connects Hakata Station in Fukuoka to Nagasaki, offering a faster and more convenient travel option. The trains, known as Kamome, feature modern amenities like mobile charging ports, built-in arm tables, and spacious luggage racks. The transfer at Takeo Onsen Station is seamless, allowing passengers to switch trains easily on the same platform. Since its opening, this Shinkansen has provided a comfortable and efficient travel experience, making it an excellent addition to Japan's rail network. 🚄😊

The Nagasaki station is clean, huge, and readily accessible by all forms of transportation. The new Shinkansen line allows for quick travel between Fukuoka and Nagasaki and it runs often. The station has a sleek modern design with an expanse of shops for any occasion.

I visited Nagasaki Station about three months ago and found it to be a very pleasant and well-maintained place. I am already looking forward to the possibility of returning to Nagasaki, as there was so much to see and experience. I am certain I missed a great deal in Nagasaki, during my last visit. I also look forward to seeing Nagasaki Station again when I return.

The last time I visited Nagasaki was back in 2016. Since then, a brand new station building had been built to accommodate the West Kyushu Shinkansen trains. The clean and spacious structure has elevated island platforms, with Tracks 1 - 5 for local lines and 11 - 14 for the Shinkansen. The Tourist Information Center is located next to the Kamome (East) Gate. There is a tram stop across the street. The Amu Plaza Shopping Mall and several hotels are nearby. Outside the Inasa (West) Gate is a taxi stand.

A nice station which is easy to navigate. Loads of shops and restaurants.

Went to Nagasaki on August 8th, AND GOT BLASTED TO SPACE AGAIN! nice experience!

The station is new, clean and now Nagasaki has its own Shinkansen. Now you’ll be able to save time when traveling with the new “Kamome” line. 9/23/22 was the grand opening.

Good place spacious And well accessible

Nothing against with customer services.... it’s just too old!!! Need to rebuilt it ASAP

Well organized and helpful

The rooftop view is amazing

❤️👍🏽

It's Good.

Excellent service

Ryuma is one of the most 8mportant figures in the history of modern Japan, as he is one of the famous advocates for modernisation during the Meiji area. This park is dedicated to him, as well as the statue. Parking is hard as there is limited space up the mountain. Good view of Nagasaki. Worth a visit.

This place will full fill your impression of Sakamoto Ryoma. Hard to find in English but I hope this guide will help someone who looking for.

Rainy day. Didn’t get a good view

Cool statue with a beautiful view and park. We also saw some bugs fighting each other, 🗡️🦟

Great views of the mountains and water.

In Nagasaki there are 8 Ryoma statues. By far, this one is the coolest and most dynamic one, overlooking Nagasaki port

If you love Ryoma, you'll definitely want to go.

(Streetcar Stop no.19; Blue Line 1 & Red Line 3) The Peace Park stops for the north-bound & south-bound lines are located diagonally across from each other, on opposite sides of the road intersecting the tracks. It is a 2-minute walk to the Atomic Bomb Hypocenter, Peace Park and 10 minutes to Urakami Cathedral.

Nice way to travel around the city. Dont forgert to take cash if you dont have a travel card.

I like the old streetcar so much !!

(Translated by Google) This is the closest and recommended station to visit the peace monument, the hypocenter site and the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum. You just have to walk a small block and we will find the stairs to go up to see the monument and the Peace Park. There are escalators (scareta) for better and easy access. Admission is free and there are also toilets. (Original) Esta es la estación más cercana y recomendada para realizar la visita al monumento a la paz, el lugar del hipocentro y el Museo de la Bomba Atómica de Nagasaki. Solo hay que caminar una pequeña cuadra y encontraremos las escaleras para subir a conocer el monumento y el parque de la Paz. Hay escaleras eléctricas (escareta) para un mejor y fácil acceso. La entrada es libre y también hay sanitarios.

(Translated by Google) A tram stop in front of Nagasaki Peace Park. Head east from the railroad crossing and you'll find Peace Park. There's a Family Mart nearby. (Original) 長崎平和公園前の路面電車の停留所。 踏切から道路を東へ進むと平和公園があります。近くにファミマがありました。

(Translated by Google) The nearest tram station to Peace Park in Nagasaki City. It is best to get off here not only to go to the Peace Statue, but also to go to the hypocenter, which is 300 meters south of there. There is a stop next door called the Atomic Bomb Museum. However, there are probably few people who only go to the Atomic Bomb Museum, so it would be more efficient to get off here and visit the Atomic Bomb Museum along with Peace Park. The original name of the stop was Matsuyama-cho. The epicenter of the explosion was in Matsuyama Town. Nagasaki Electric Tramway, which operates the streetcar, could not help but give the name Peace Park in an easy-to-understand manner for tourists, but at the same time I would have liked Matsuyama Town to be listed as well. It's not just about the convenience of the moment, it's also important to preserve the history. (Original) 長崎市の路面電車の平和公園の最寄駅。 平和祈念像がある場所はもちろん、そこから南に３００メートルの爆心地に行くのにも、ここで降りた方がよい。隣に原爆資料館という停留所がある。しかし、原爆資料館だけに行く人は少ないだろうから、ここで降りて平和公園と一緒に原爆資料館を見た方が効率的に回れる。 もとの停留所の名前は、松山町だった。爆心地は、松山町にある。路面電車を経営している長崎電気軌道には、観光客にわかりやすく平和公園の名前を付けるのはしょうがないが、同時に松山町も並記して欲しかった。その時その時の便利さだけではなく、歴史を残していくのも大切だから。

(Translated by Google) I used it to go from Peace Park to Dejima. It's convenient (Original) 平和公園から出島へ行くのに利用しました。 便利です

(Translated by Google) Ah, when I was thinking of heading to Nagasaki Airport, I thought there weren't many photos of trams, so I took a photo. I love streetcars and want one in my town, but last month I went to Toyama, which is said to have the best streetcars, and the trams in Nagasaki were extremely crowded. There was also. I passed most of the stations and got off the train, so I have a general idea. The first thing I did when I arrived at Nagasaki Station was buy tram tickets for two days. Unlimited ride tickets are very helpful for tourists. I'm sure Nagasaki is quite cheap at 130 yen. Immediately after leaving Glover Garden, a tram came, so I headed towards it, and the rarest train bound for Hotaru Chaya came, so I headed straight for Meganebashi. (I believe there are only a few in the morning and evening). I think the unlimited ride ticket is also a good deal at 600 yen per day. I use it more than the original every time. Meganebashi is very close to Meganebashi Station and convenient. (Original) あーこれで長崎空港に向かわないとと思ってる時に路面電車の写真が少ないと思い写真を撮りました。路面電車が好きで私の街にも欲しいくらいなんですが…先月路面電車が一番凄いと言われている富山に行ったのですが、長崎の路面電車は乗車率が凄く満員になってることもありました。一応ほとんどのえきは通過　下車したのでだいたい把握出来てます。長崎駅に着いて一番最初にしたことは２日分の路面電車チケット購入でした。観光客にとって乗り放題チケットはとても助かります。確か長崎は１３０円とかなりお安い感じです。グラバー園を出てすぐに路面電車が来たので向かうと蛍茶屋行きの一番レアな車両が来たのでそのまま眼鏡橋に向かいました。(確か朝と夕方くらいしか本数がない)。乗り放題チケットもお得で１日６００円とかなりお得だと思います。私は毎回元以上に利用してます。眼鏡橋はめがね橋駅からとても近くて便利ですよ。

(Translated by Google) Beautiful peaceful place (Original) 漂亮寧靜的地方

(Translated by Google) Personally, I am more familiar with the former name of the tram stop, ``Nigiwaibashi.'' Of course Megane Bridge is wonderful, but all bridges have their own merits. (Original) 私的には以前の電停名「賑橋(にぎわいばし)」の方が馴染みがあります。 眼鏡橋も勿論、素晴らしいですが、全ての橋それぞれに良さがあります。

(Translated by Google) It's quite pretty at night, though. If you know the story, you'll play WoW even more. It's written on something like a tombstone next to it. (Original) 밤에 꽤 이쁘긴 한데. 스토리를 알고 보면 더 WoW 합니다 옆에 비석같은 거에 나와있어용

(Translated by Google) Nagasaki Spectacle Bridge is one of the three most famous bridges in Japan and the oldest arched stone bridge in Japan. The two semi-arch stone bridges, together with another semi-circular reflection on the river, connect up and down, just like a pair of glasses, hence the name. (Original) 長崎眼鏡橋是日本三大名橋之一，也是日本最古老的拱形石橋。 兩個半拱型的石橋，加上在河面形成另外的半圓形倒影，上下連接、剛好像是一付眼鏡般而得名。

(Translated by Google) Nearest station to Meganebashi: Directions to Meganebashi are available at the station. So it's very easy to understand. (Original) 眼鏡橋の最寄駅　駅に眼鏡橋への案内が あるので、とても分かりやすいです。

(Translated by Google) Nagasaki Street Tram Basically, you can reach all major attractions by relying on the street tram. (Original) 長崎路面電車 基本上靠路面電車就可以到達各大景點

It is a huge symbol of Nagasaki so you can see it from lots of positions, and it is trult beautiful just like its name.

This is the top clear height bridge in Japan. wonderful place to go. Can capture Nagasaki bay beautifully.

I first saw the Magamio Bridge from the Seaside Park in the evening of Nov 24, 2018. And then passed under it to and from Gunkanshima in the morning of Nov 25, 2018 and then from Mount Inasa at night. The last time I watched it was from Glover Garden on the eve of my departure ie Nov 26, 2018!

Magnificent bridge seen from down under as I was in the ferry going to Gunkanjima. It should look beautiful during sunset too.

A beautiful suspension bridge at the mouth of Nagasaki harbour. You can admire it from a number of places.

Nice view of Nagasaki city it's quite high and best part you can take walk along the road

Nagasaki Megami Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge in Japan that crosses at the entrance of the Port of Nagasaki (Nagasaki-kō) in Nagasaki. It is a part of the Nagasaki prefectural road route 51.

(Translated by Google) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) The Ichiraku Bridge over the Nakajima River is a simple stone bridge that exudes a sense of history. Since its construction in the Edo period, it has endured several floods and has quietly watched over the city of Nagasaki. The current bridge was rebuilt in the early Meiji period, and its graceful curves reflected on the surface of the river are truly picturesque. There are various theories about the origin of the name "Ichiraku Bridge," but one theory is that it was named after the fact that looking down from this bridge, you could see the bridges and townscape along the Nakajima River in one go. There is also an anecdote that during the Edo period in particular, merchants and officials looked out over the traffic from this bridge and controlled the movements of the town. Standing on the stone arch, you can feel the atmosphere of a bygone era along with the faint sound of the river. There are relatively few tourists, making it a perfect "hidden spot" to stop by on your way to visit the stone bridges in the area. At dusk, the soft swaying of the bridge's shadow reflected on the surface of the river is exceptional, and you can't help but stop and stare. Although Ichiran Bridge is not gaudy, it is a stylish spot where you can truly experience Nagasaki as a "city of bridges." (Original) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️（5/5） 中島川にかかる一覧橋は、シンプルながらも歴史の重みを感じさせる石橋。江戸期の架橋以来、幾度かの洪水にも耐え、静かに長崎の街を見守ってきた存在です。現在の橋は明治初期に再建されたもので、優雅な曲線が川面に映る姿はまさに風情そのもの。 「一覧橋」という名の由来には諸説ありますが、かつてこの橋から見下ろすと、中島川沿いの橋や町並みが一望できたことから名付けられたとも。特に江戸時代には、商人や役人たちがこの橋の上で往来を見渡し、町の動きを掌握したという逸話も残ります。 石造アーチの上に立つと、かすかな川音と共に、過ぎ去った時代の気配がふっと感じられます。観光客は比較的少なく、周辺の石橋群を巡る途中で立ち寄るにはちょうど良い「穴場」。夕暮れどき、川面に映る橋影が柔らかく揺れる様子は格別で、つい足を止めて見入ってしまいます。 一覧橋は華美な装飾こそありませんが、長崎の“橋の町”らしさをじんわりと体感できる、粋なスポットです。

(Translated by Google) The original bridge dates back to 1657, although it was destroyed in the 18th century (floods) as well as later. It has always been rebuilt and destroyed again, at least until 1982, the date of the last floods. It is one of the most beautiful on the promenade, along with the Megane bridge (which is perhaps the most famous of all) (Original) El puente original es de 1657, aunque fue destruido en el siglo XVIII (inundaciones) así como más adelante. Siempre se ha reconstruido y se ha vuelto a destruir, así al menos hasta 1982, fecha de las últimas inundaciones.

(Translated by Google) One of my favorite bridges on the walk along the river. Like many others, it dates back to the late 16th century but was destroyed on several occasions by floods, although it has always been rebuilt. It is called that because it was used to access the Furumachi neighborhood. (Original) Uno de mis puentes preferidos en el paseo a lo largo del río. Como muchos otros, es de finales del siglo XVI pero fue destruido en varias ocasiones por inundaciones, aunque siempre se ha reconstruido. Se llama así porque por él se accedía al barrio de Furumachi.

The same goes for this bridge, which usually has little traffic. (Original) 中島川石橋群の第五橋。中島川にかかる石橋は、昔も今も生活の道であり、またかつては仏寺への参道としての重要な役割を持つ。普段は人の往来の少ないこの橋もまた然り。
