#cityplaybook #familytrip #localguides Nagasaki, set along the rugged coastline of Kyushu Island, is a city that echoes with layers of history, spiritual depth, and breathtaking beauty. While it shares the solemn legacy of being one of the only two cities affected by the atomic bomb, Nagasaki tells its own unique story of cultural fusion, resilience, and peace. Walking through the Nagasaki Peace Park, I felt a powerful sense of calm and reflection. The Atomic Bomb Hypocenter and the Peace Statue, pointing one hand to the sky and another in a gesture of peace, serve as constant reminders of both tragedy and the city's unwavering message: “No More War.” The Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum, detailed and heartfelt, tells personal stories of survival and the lasting impact on the community. Beyond its tragic past, Nagasaki is a cultural mosaic. The city was Japan’s earliest gateway to the West during its period of isolation, and you can feel that fusion everywhere—from the Dutch-influenced houses in Dejima, to the stunning Oura Church, Japan’s oldest Catholic church. The Glover Garden area, set on a hillside, offers panoramic views of the harbor and showcases preserved Western-style mansions surrounded by vibrant gardens. A short ferry ride brings you to Hashima Island (Gunkanjima), also known as Battleship Island—an abandoned mining site that feels both eerie and fascinating, offering a glimpse into Japan's industrial past. Don’t leave without trying Champon, a hearty noodle dish that reflects the city’s Chinese culinary influence. Best Time to Visit: March to May for spring blossoms or October to November for autumn colors.
