Huis Ten Bosch: the Netherlands in Japan

So, I’m not a big theme-park person, but decided to pay a visit to Huis Ten Bosch as I had an extra day in Nagasaki. On top of the rides (more for kids than adults), there are interesting museums and the grounds are well kept and nice. The day I visited, a Banksy exhibit was going on it was quite nice. If you have kids, that’s definitely a must-go place if you are in Nagasaki. It’s a good idea to rent a bicycle to move around as the place is huge.

Hoping for peace at Nagasaki Peace Park

As many of us will know, Hiroshima and Nagasaki had been bombed when an atomic bomb was dropped onto each city during World War II, leading to devastating consequences. In memory of this historic event and the lives lost, Nagasaki Peace Park was built. This is also a must go place for locals, especially for students, as evident from the many school trips that are organised to this place. For tour groups who visit Nagasaki, this will also be one of the places of attraction to visit. There is a museum that depict the timeline of events in World War II and the dropping of the atomic bomb which ended the war. There is also a life size model of how the atomic bomb looks like on the inside, and the actual size of the bombs. For the outdoor park, there is the Peace Statue representing the hope for peace, and other monuments and memorials are also set up in memory of the victims who suffered and died from the bombing. This place is a sombre reminder that peace, stability and harmony should not be taken for granted, and everyone plays an important role in maintaining peace and harmony among ourselves. #fallingforfall #tripblazers

Nagasaki Peace Park, the time here is quiet Japan Hiroshima and Nagasaki, two cities that were once destroyed by the US atomic bomb. Today, Hiroshima and Nagasaki have a Peace Park. The first thing I saw at the entrance to the park was the symbolic Peace of Peace in the Peace Park, a male peace god. On the right hand, the index finger is pointing to the sky, indicating that the atomic bomb has fallen. The right hand is flat and the palm is facing down, wishing the world Antai. World Peace. The peaceful spring on the side of the park means giving a glass of water to the tragic souls killed in the disaster and praying for their blessings. At the same time, in order to pray for a worldly peace. The ever-changing fountain takes the shape of a dove of peace and flies, and at the same time has the shape of a crane, symbolizing the Nagasaki Port, which is known as the crane port. It is said that many people died at the time because there was no water. There was a pool under the sculpture. There are various sculptures everywhere in the park, which are presented by governments to express their hope for peace and blessings for world peace. There are many in Europe, many in Asia and Africa, including a "peace" sculpture given by China. It is said that there is also the same paragraph in Fuxingmen, Beijing. On both sides of the statue, there is a thousand paper crane tower. There are thousands of paper cranes, water and prayers. There is an old legend in Japan. If someone folds a thousand paper cranes, the crane will fulfill his wish, like a long life, or recover from a serious illness. In Asia, people with a thousand paper cranes can think of a good wish, so the paper crane has become a special occasion gift. To Nagasaki, I always remembered that "Nagasaki is raining today." Nagasaki is a seaport city. The maritime climate caused time and rain. We even drenched a sun rain in Nagasaki. After a few minutes, it turned fine.

Japan’s 3 best night view at Mount Inasa

Mount Inasa indeed captures the best view of Nagasaki City from above. It is just a short 10 minutes drive up the curvy road in the western part of the city. There are several ways to reach the observatory, including ropeway (1250 yen round trip), bus and of course by car . If you drive, parking spaces are available at the summit. Once at the top, go up to the rooftop of the observatory building for a 360 degrees view. The west side faces the ocean and is absolutely stunning at sunset. The other side overlooks Nagasaki City on the two sides of the Uragami River. The observatory building also has a couple of fast food restaurants for light snacks and drinks. This is definitely a must go place in Nagasaki! #urbanexplorer #nagasaki #kyushu #Holidayinjapan

With thousands of lights from buildings and boats shimmering below, you’ll see why Mt. Inasa is said to possess a ‘10 million dollar view’. We were a bit sceptical of its claims as one of the 3 great nightime city views but it is amazing. Sunset is best time but there are long queues then, so allow extra time if you want to capture the sun setting. Entrance is free at the observatory. Plenty of people at night but the platform is quite spacious. Highly recommend if your in Nagasaki. You don't realise how big Nagasaki is until you come up here. #givethanks #givethanks

Nagasaki is located in Kitakyushu, Japan, and is a famous port and tourist city. There are three places around the mountain, a great location facing the sea and a unique view of the mountains and seas. You can enjoy the dreamy night scene on Inasayama, which also makes Nagasaki win the latest "Japan III". The big night view and the "three big night scenes of the world" double title. This time I came here and went to the restaurant on the Observatory to enjoy dinner and enjoy the night view... definitely one of the most romantic dinners in my heart.

Ninety-nine Island is one of Sasebo's most famous attractions, similar to China's Thousand Island Lake, but the scale is much smaller, overlooking the observation deck, and the islands are dotted in the lake, very beautiful. Look at the cruise daily saying 8 in the morning

Memories of the 99 islands of Japan.

In 2009, I traveled to Nagasaki, Japan and visited Ninety-Nine Islands, a scenic spot in Sasebo City. We took a boat tour and the scenery was very beautiful! The snack bar at the boat ticket office sold delicious ice cream, and there were many yachts at the pier, which left a deep impression on me. Ninety-Nine Islands is not actually 99 small islands, but there are actually more than 200. If you go to Nagasaki, it is worth a visit.

Nagasaki 99 Islands

Offbeat tourism, Nagasaki's 99 islands. Take the boat ride for sure, it's a 40-minute loop. The scenery is really beautiful. You cannot disembark, but you can choose another small sailboat. There is also an option to pay extra to disembark and visit the uninhabited island. There are akoya pearls for sale on the boat. Everyone's favorite Japanese pearls are 90% produced here. So the prices are super cheap. A 9mm one that looks like it's less than 500 RMB. I bought it at Isetan Department Store in Tokyo for 2000 RMB. Sigh. Next to it is an aquarium, which is also worth visiting. It's suitable for children. It's a great place for both tourism and shopping. The last piece of sushi is handcrafted by skilled artisans, very fresh and delicious, just like the one Abe treated Obama to. It's very expensive in Tokyo, but here it's less than 200 RMB per person. Highly recommended. The owner is very nice. He knew we came from far away and kept chatting with me. The shop has a great Japanese atmosphere.

There is a vast sea area, scattered with dreamy 208 islands, the first sight of the illusion of Hangzhou Qiandao Lake, but here is a sea of ninety-nine islands in Sasebo, Japan. When the pure sea breeze slowly licks over the cheeks, when the shuttle-shaped boat glides through the islands, the sky floats with a large cloud, free and leisurely, just as I am at the moment.

Nagasaki Peace Park is a park located in Nagasaki, Japan, commemorating the atomic bombing of the city during World War II. This is a nice park area that was quiet when I was there and I felt more like I was there than in Hiroshima. It is important to get the feel there imagining the sorrow, pain, ... the bomb caused. It is vital to realize the ground level elevation and its reason. A must visit location when in Nagasaki as the Nagasaki Bomb Epicenter sits in a lovely park adjacent to the main Peace Park and only a short distance to the Nagasaki Peace Park Museum. #givethanks #givethanks

Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum and Peace Memorial Hall.

During World War II, Nagasaki was also the target of an atomic bombing. At the Peace Memorial Park, located right by the Atomic Bomb Museum tram station, you can visit statues and other memorials dedicated to the victims and wishing for peace. Just a short walk from the park is the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum. At the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum, you can learn about the horrors of the bombing through videos and other exhibits. There are also visually impactful displays such as a reconstruction of the side wall of the Urakami Cathedral, which was destroyed in the blast. Additionally, there is a small observation deck-like spot where you can overlook the city.

Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum

#weekendgetaways The museum itself has a beautiful facade and architecture. The design itself makes very good use of natural light.But hidden in it are horrific stories of the aftermath of the atomic bomb. The horrors of war do ring as true today as it does in the past. Wouldn’t post too much of the exhibition but hope anyone who has the time and is in the area will spend an hour or 2 in the exhibition.Fun fact, didn’t know Nagasaki had such a rich Christian history! overall this ok for me
