Nagasaki's specialty, the chinchin tram... At the Nagasaki tram stop, there is a catchy sign that says, "Don't cross, it's dangerous."
The so-called chinchin tram, which is loved by Nagasaki residents for its effective use of all lines for commuting to work and school, is a basic color scheme with green on the bottom and beige on the top. Conversely, this basic train is rare these days.
The body of the train is painted with illustrations of Nagasaki's famous places, illustrations of dragon dancing, and trains with simple, single-colored paint have large advertisements, but they are not unfashionable and are stylish.
The shape of the train was originally designed with rounded corners, but there are many other trains with sharp corners, and the original train design is... overall rounded and cute. Some of the new trains have sharp corners, and they were pretty cool.
Speaking of Nagasaki, the "Night View of the Cranes at Nagasaki Port" is very famous.
When you look at the port from a high place, the city lights around the port, which looks like a crane with its wings spread, are bright and gorgeous until late at night.
The view of Nagasaki Bay from Mt. Inasa is truly beautiful, with a black crane floating in the dazzling lights.
The view of the wharf, with the silhouettes of ships lit by the setting sun, ships floating in the sea at night, and the lights of buildings reflected on the water, is called the "Million Dollar Night View."
Even during the day, the ships floating on the sea with the mountains in the background are beautiful.
Finally, the bus terminal for the Airport Liner Bus to Nagasaki Airport, "MIRAI NAGASAKI COCOTOWN", has a variety of stores including fashion, gourmet food, and bookstores, and there is also a Ferris wheel on one of the floors along the way.
This year marks the 15th anniversary of "MIRAI NAGASAKI COCOTOWN" and rides on the Ferris wheel were free, so I was lucky to be able to ride it before heading to the airport.
It's a commercial facility in front of a tram stop close to Nagasaki Station, but the city seen from the top of the Ferris wheel looked like a beautiful townscape, with buildings and houses lined up tightly against the backdrop of the mountains.
The location is Hamamachi Arcade, near the first tram stop, "Nishihamamachi." Hamamachi Arcade has many entrances, but the entrance is on the west side, so it is the "Nishihamamachi" tram stop.
If you want to see the harbor, get off at the "Ohato" tram stop.
If you want to ride the Ferris wheel, get off at the "Morimachi" tram stop.
