Nagasaki Port & Seaside Park Promenade, Nagasaki City, Nagasaki

About this place

Historic Nagasaki Port & Seaside Waterfront Park, Nagasaki City, Nagasaki. Embraced by rolling emerald hills and opening toward the East China Sea, Nagasaki Port was Japan's sole window to the Western world during centuries of isolation. Today, international cruise liners and sleek passenger ferries glide across sparkling waters framed by the illuminated Megami Bridge. By night, millions of hillside lights create a "World Top-3 Night View." Visitors feast on original Champon noodles at Shikairo (四海樓), savor Shippoku banquets, and enjoy Castella cake at Fukusaya.
