2025 Nagasaki Prefecture Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

Nagasaki Day Tour As soon as you arrive in Nagasaki and see the tram, you will feel like you have been pulled back in time. The Nagasaki Tram, which opened in 1915, connects famous Nagasaki attractions such as Oura Catholic Church, Dejima, Shinchi Chinatown, Spectacles Bridge, Peace Park, etc. It is a way to experience the customs of Nagasaki and enjoy the slow time in Nagasaki. To get from Fukuoka to Nagasaki, you need to take the JR Relay Seagull to Takeo Onsen Station and then transfer to the JR Shinkansen Seagull. The section from Takeo Onsen to Nagasaki is called the Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen, which will not be opened until October 2022. It is a fresh experience, fast, smooth and quiet. #Peace Park

When I visited Nagasaki Fishing Port for the first time, I had to go out for a spin. This time I chose the mysterious Warship Island (Hatashima). After breakfast, we walked to the Nagasaki Port Pier, the hotel where we stayed, only about 5 minutes walk from the pier, looking forward to it. 🤩 Arrive at the pier and walk to the inquiry desk. Since you have registered your ticket online beforehand, you only need to verify your name and cash payment and finally board the boat😌. After about 30 minutes of boat ride, we arrived at Warship Island. There are tour guides in different languages, starting to take us around the island, note: Warship Island is only partially open, so to follow the guide obediently, do not wander around ah 😅. Returning to the ship after the tour, the ship will circle around the warship island, you can see the deserted scenery behind the island, warship island is always full of mysterious feeling 😅. It is a must-visit place in Nagasaki! #OverseasTravel

[Nagasaki Prefecture: Nomozaki Town] Located at the southern tip of the Nagasaki Peninsula, which was integrated into Nagasaki City in 2005, Nomozaki Town is very lively💥 Along the coastline, you can see Gunkanjima, which is also registered as a World Heritage Site👀 In recent years, the number of stylish cafes and photo spots has increased, so it is also called Nagasaki's Itoshima😌 (Itoshima is a tourist spot in Fukuoka) In addition to driving around cafes, a recent trend is to take a ferry and cruise around the area🚤 Nomozaki General Sports Park has a daffodil park, where 10 million daffodils bloom from late December to mid-January🌼 It's an attractive place that can be reached easily from the center of Nagasaki😊 #Nagasaki #Seaside scenery #Drive #Cool travel experience #Travel to enjoy spring

Nagasaki is a fascinating city where Japanese history and culture intersect. The beautiful scenery surrounded by mountains attracts visitors, and the night view in particular is famous as one of the "Three Great Night Views of Japan." The view from Mount Inasa is breathtakingly beautiful. It is also a place with a historical background, and during the period of national isolation, it flourished as the only international trading port, and Western culture flowed in. This influence can be seen in historical buildings such as Glover Garden and Dutch Hill, and the cityscape is full of exotic atmosphere.

While the Inasayama night view and Huis Ten Bosch are popular attractions in Nagasaki Prefecture, fewer people visit Nagasaki Port. Since the Meiji era, apart from the famous Gunkanjima (Battleship Island) known for the industrial revolution and coal mining, Nagasaki Port was the only port open to foreign trade and interaction. For history enthusiasts, this is a must-visit. This cruise departs from Nagasaki Port, offering a lively view of the bustling city center from the sea. It passes under the majestic Megami Bridge, which stands tall like the goddess Venus, guiding Nagasaki's maritime activities. Finally, you will catch a glimpse of Gunkanjima, with the cruise circling the island twice before returning to Nagasaki Port.

If you're a train lover, you'll want to ride it at least once! I tried riding the Nishi-Kyushu Shinkansen, which JR Kyushu opened in September 2022. I took the route from Hakata to Nagasaki, and from Hakata to Takeo Onsen I took the "Relay Kamome" and from Takeo Onsen to Nagasaki I took the "Kamome". The "Relay Kamome" had a chic interior, while the "Kamome" had a bright interior where you could feel the warmth of wood. JR Kyushu has many cute trains, including tourist trains, so I highly recommend train travel. ୨୧――――――――――――――――――୨୧ information Train used: Relay Kamome & Kamome Section used: Hakata to Takeo Onsen, Takeo Onsen to Nagasaki ୨୧――――――――――――――――――୨୧ #Girls trip #Adult girls trip #Couple trip #Domestic trip #japan #Kyushu tourism #Nagasaki trip #Train lover #Train #Nishi-Kyushu Shinkansen

I finally arrived at the bus stop for the 🍓 I had been longing for ✨ I was so moved! There were 🍈 in front of me, and 🍊 and other fruits in front and behind them. Just riding through this bus street in Konagai was so exciting! But among all of them, this place overlooking the Ariake Sea is the best spot! You can take the best shot from either the street side or the other side with the small window, no doubt about it! I came to this place just for this, and it was well worth it 🍓 #Travelingwithme #Strawberries #Nagasaki #Trip to Nagasaki #Tourism in Nagasaki #NagasakiPrefecture

July 2018 #NagasakiTravel #Nagasaki has a unique #milkshake that you can't find anywhere else. I really wanted to try it, so I looked for a place near my accommodation where I could try the so-called #NagasakiMilkshake, and I found a place called #HayamaCoffee and went there right away. It was located in a building with a really nice red brick feel, and the interior of the cafe had a great atmosphere, so it was great for cooling off and taking a break. That's how I came to accept Nagasaki's milkshake. First of all, it wasn't a drink that you could drink with just a straw, and it was good for cooling off from the heat because the ice was coarsely ground, like it was somewhere between shaved ice and sorbet. The taste was more vanilla ice cream than milk, but... Anyway, it was pretty good. You can't taste it anywhere else but Nagasaki, so if you come to Nagasaki, you should definitely try it. #Japan #JapanTravel #KyushuTravel #WorldTravel
