Many peninsulas, 971 islands and exotic streets. A diverse, exciting and throbbing area of varied cultural and topographic differences.
Nagasaki Prefecture lies in the northwestern part of Kyushu, and consists of five peninsulas and many islands. With the sea in between, it stands face-to-face with a continent, part of which is China, and the Korean Peninsula. It has therefore long been an important transportation point facing the continent. Since the 17th century, ports for trade with Portugal and Holland were established. In addition, since it was once the center of Christianity propagation, there are many exotic, historical ruins and buildings left within the prefecture.
Almost half of the prefectural land area is occupied by 971 inhabited and uninhabited islands, and it has scenic spots such as Kujuku-shima Islands of the Saikai National Park, and the main peak Fugen-dake of the volcano Unzen-dake is situated right in the center of the Shimabara-hanto Peninsula. Huis Ten Bosch, a theme park established and named in association with Holland, is also known as a popular tourist spot.
Nagasaki City, which is the heart of Nagasaki-hanto Peninsula, is a port city that developed itself even up along the steep slope of a mountain, while it also stretched horizontally to hug the Nagasaki Gulf. The line of visitors attracted to its many tourist spots never ends. The spots include the Peace Park which tells of facts and memories of horrible damage that was brought about by the atomic bomb and continues to appeal to the world its wish for peace, and the Christian church, O-ura Tenshudo, which, to date, exudes an exotic atmosphere.
