Lo mejor de Nagasaki

Nagasaki Essentials

Nagasaki's landscape reflects its history as Japan's sole gateway to the West during isolation and its subsequent role in World War II. This collection features the UNESCO-listed Oura Catholic Church and Glover Garden’s Western-style residences. It includes the Peace Park and Hypocenter, which commemorate the 1945 atomic bombing. The city's multi-layered heritage is further explored through the reconstructed Dejima Dutch trading post, the 17th-century Megane Bridge, and Shinchi Chinatown, the oldest in Japan.
