Nagasaki is a city in Japan located on the island of Kyushu. It has a rich history, particularly as a center of international trade during Japan's period of isolation (Edo period), when it was the only port open to foreign countries. Nagasaki is also known for being the second city, after Hiroshima, to be bombed with an atomic weapon during World War II, on August 9, 1945.
The city has become a symbol of peace and reconciliation, with memorials and museums dedicated to the victims of the bombing, such as the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum and the Peace Park. Today, Nagasaki is a vibrant city with a mix of cultural influences, beautiful landscapes, and a maritime climate. It also has a notable Christian history, as it was one of the first places where Christianity was introduced to Japan.
Key landmarks include the iconic Nagasaki Lantern Festival, Glover Garden, and the scenic Mount Inasa. Nagasaki is also known for its delicious local cuisine, including "Champon," a noodle dish, and "Sara Udon."
