長崎県
Nagasaki
Nagasaki, in northwestern Kyushu, is made up of many islands. Through "Dejima," a port open to the outside world even during the era of national seclusion, it nurtured a distinctive, exotic culture. It was also the second city in the world to suffer an atomic bombing. Nagasaki is rich in cuisine, from champon to castella cake, and in World Heritage sites.
