Nagasaki, a city full of history

- Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum & Peace Park: Located in the "Peace Park" north of Nagasaki, this park marks the detonation point of the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki by the U.S. military during World War II in 1945. The park is divided into several areas, including a "Wish Area," "Prayer Area," "Study Area," "Plaza Area," and "Sports Area." A visit there leaves one deeply saddened by the outcome of the war. - Glover Garden: The residence of Glover, a Scottish trader who operated in Nagasaki. All the buildings and gardens are designed in a Western style. The garden sits on a hill, offering beautiful views of Nagasaki Harbor. Its spaciousness makes it a perfect spot for strolling, taking photos, and relaxing! Nearby is "Dutch Hill," a residential area for foreigners in Japan at the end of the 19th century. Several Western-style buildings from that era can still be seen on the hill, allowing visitors to experience the Western atmosphere. It's a great place to visit in spring when flowers are in bloom. - Oura Cathedral: Nagasaki, heavily influenced by Western culture, is the largest center of Catholicism in Japan and boasts numerous historic churches. Among them, Oura Cathedral, built in 1864, is the oldest existing Gothic wooden church in Japan and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. - Urakami Cathedral: Besides Oura Cathedral, near the epicenter of the atomic bomb was Urakami Cathedral, which was once the largest church in the Orient. During the war, a mass was being held inside when the church collapsed due to the atomic bomb, killing all the worshippers—a profound tragedy in Nagasaki's history.
