Amazing park that is very value for its ticket price. Park is huge, it will probably take 1.5 days to complete all attractions. Strongly recommend to stay for the night lights and fireworks. Unfortunately we were not able to try out the Jurassic island due to weather conditions.
Very spacious area with less waiting time. There's VR simulation around the park and daily water fountain show and fireworks performance in the evening. Absolutely no need to queue early in the morning like those in the more popular park in Tokyo and Osaka. Family with young kids can really enjoy and relax.

This is a world heritage site. It is just near the cruise port. It is a 15-minute walk away. It is worth checking in. You can take panoramic photos of the cruise ship here. There is also Oura Catholic Church on the way, which is also a world heritage site. The ticket is 1,000 yen. You are not allowed to take photos inside. I especially recommend the dessert shop at the door when it is hot. Nagasaki specialty milkshake
The surprise of Nagasaki, the view from a high place, the stunning wonders are all within sight! Although it was cloudy, it did not affect the scenery at all. The 20 yuan free threshold coupon given by Ctrip Super Traveler made the whole journey full of happiness.

I used to live next to the Peace Park and go out every day, so I have feelings for it... The environment is very good! Especially in the morning, it is quiet and a new day is about to start, so this time I went to Hiroshima, and I went to the Peace Park, which was returned by boat after visiting Miyashima (you can also return by JR on the original road, and then take the bus to Peace Park for half an hour), so although the price of the ferry ticket is a bit high, But the feeling of taking a boat is necessarily different. The scenery along the way, the breeze, including the building on both sides of the riverbank on the boat, is once again thinking about my original home here! ! ! Peace Park is usually full of tourists, but it is also full of harmony. The original explosion dome, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park monument, etc. are not far away. If you have time, you can also visit the newly built Hiroshima football stadium not far away. The new building gives people a bright feeling. I really want to take the opportunity to watch a football game... Then you can also go to Bentong Shopping Street.
I cycled there, about 15 mins from the station. There are many art installations as well as the huge memorial. While I was there there was a s pool group, otherwise a restful place to contemplate the horror of what happened.

Great place to know the history and aftermath of the atomic bomb at Nagasaki. Better if you can visit Hiroshima which much more comprehensive.
The Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum is located on a church that was destroyed by the atomic bomb. Only one wall of the church remains. To this day, you can still see a clock that was destroyed and deformed by the shock wave hanging on the wall. The hour hand stopped at 11:02, the moment the atomic bomb fell. The original intention of establishing the Atomic Bomb Museum was simple, in order not to forget the sadness of the past and to inspire the fighting spirit to move forward. The exhibition hall systematically introduces the current situation of Nagasaki's revival after it was destroyed by the atomic bomb. From it, you can understand the great destruction of the atomic bomb and the war, and the strong and unyielding spirit of the people of Nagasaki to survive in grief.

Do you think Kujukushima is composed of 99 islands?
I went there and found out that it is not. The name of Kujukushima comes from the fact that in Japanese, "九九" is an imaginary number indicating quantity, which means "a lot". In fact, Kujukushima consists of 208 islands of different sizes. It feels great to take a cruise to visit the scenery of Kujukushima.
There is a scenic area called Kujiu Island in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. Ninety-nine Island is actually located in the waters about 25 kilometers outside the port of Sasebo in Nagasaki. There are 208 islands, large and small, of which only four are inhabited, while the others are uninhabited islands.
The best way to see Ninety-Nine Island is to look at the observation deck on the mountain. Unfortunately, it was overcast and the scenery was compromised.
The other way to visit the island is to take a sightseeing boat, but when I arrived it was the February off-season, no boat, unfortunately.

The three most recognized night views in the world are Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong, Hakodate in Japan, and Naples in Italy. In Japan, a new world's three major night views were selected in 2012, among which Hakodate in Japan became Nagasaki. The characteristics of this new world's three major night views (Nagasaki): huge coverage area, dotted with stars, "it seems like the Milky Way falling from the sky".
Transportation: Take bus No. 3 or No. 5 at Nagasaki Station to the cable car station and buy a cable car ticket. It is recommended to buy a round-trip ticket, 1250 yen.
There is a 3-story observation deck on the top of the mountain, and a coffee hall on the 1st floor, which are basically full. There is a toilet on B1. The top floor is an outdoor observation deck.
it has very beautiful scenery and I have been there several years ago. however, do be prepared that there will be tons of people especially during sunset

fun, colourful, vibrant. While I was there there were school groups. it's a small area, a narrow street with small stores selling Chinese snacks, food and wares. There are many colourful lanterns.
Nagasaki Shinchi Chinatown is very small. It is not the kind of large area that everyone imagines, with the streets full of Chinese expatriates and Chinese stores. Maybe Chinatowns in Los Angeles or Bangkok have this feeling. Nagasaki is more like a Chinese-style food street and shopping street, not a very good tourist attraction.

The scenery is very beautiful, similar to Qiandao Lake but different. It is a scenery you can't see in China. I took a lot of beautiful photos. I was so happy! And you can actually climb to the highest point on the boat. The wind is super strong. There is a little excitement in the beauty~ There are no activities on the boat. You can just take pictures of the scenery by yourself. The two boats run once an hour. If you want to experience it, please pay attention to the time! The Japanese service staff are super polite. They greeted and bowed when they got on the boat, and they kept waving on the shore when the boat left the port.
On this 50-minute short cruise,
you can enjoy the nature of the Kujuku Islands.
You can enjoy the spectacular view while feeling the pleasant breeze on the deck.
Indoor seats are air-conditioned and you can sit and enjoy your food and drink.
There were sailor cosplay costumes for children.
By the way, "99" means "many, a lot of," and in reality there are more than 200 islands.
It's the perfect place to take beautiful photos and videos.

Unzen Hell is truly amazing! Although the sulfur smell is strong, the wonders are addictive. With steam rising from your feet and the sound of water gurgling in your ears, it feels like you are walking in another world. The spring water in the Great Screaming Hell is so hot that it makes people exclaim, "This is really the view of hell!" It is even more exciting to visit at night. Under the dim light, the smoke is lingering, and the weird sound effects are everywhere, as if you are in a horror movie. Although it is a bit scary, this unique experience is definitely worth a try!
Unzen Hell is not a real hell, but a famous hot spring resort in Japan. There are about 30 tourist attractions here, with water vapor spraying, white smoke curling, and sulphur rocks everywhere. The most famous of Unzen Hell is the Great Shouting Hell, where hot springs over 100 degrees Celsius are rushing endlessly. Sitting in the hot spring, looking at the sky dyed red by the afterglow of the setting sun at the end of the sea, it is magnificent and warm. Saga also has the "Ureshino Onsen" which is popular among women for its ability to moisturize and nourish the skin and is known as one of the three major skin-beautifying hot springs in Japan. When tourists see such a spectacular view, they can't help but shout out loudly: "It's great." This is the origin of the name "Great Shouting Hell".
