Visited in the last month. Hopefully soon I’ll have my Nagasaki tour refined and perfected into a compact 2 days. Pictures courtesy of Erik. (I think Jonathan took all the pictures when he was here and I don’t have access to them!)
Nagasaki Harbour at Night
These small streets are where all the nightlife happens.
That is a dead snake in the liquor bottle
This is Oura Cathedral. It is 150 odd years old and the only Western-built building considered a National Heritage Site.
Our trip out to Iojima Island. It is like taking a vacation without even having to leave Nagasaki. If Erik hadn’t had too much snake-liquor we might even have gone to the hot springs for a nice bath. Also pictured are Mitsubishi’s dry docks where they make large oil tankers and the like.
The island's beach and some of the cliffs that surround the island.
This is the Peace Park. The statue is pointing towards the area where the atomic bomb had exploded.
From the Peace Park you can see Urakami Cathedral. Once the largest in Asia, it had to be rebuilt after the bombing.
Spectacle bridge. The water was a bit too low to get a perfect reflection and see the spectacles. Also pictured is me inspecting Koi.
I really enjoy the blend of Western Catholicism with Japanese characteristics. Here is a crucifix and bust of the Pope in a Japanese garden and Koi pond.
My City.
We were told this was castella-flavored ice cream. Castella is Nagasaki’s regional specialty. If you don’t consume it, it will consume you.
I do have a picture of Jonathan!

Wowzers! Awesome pictures! Looks like a lot of fun! I hope Erik had fun! Too bad you missed out on onsen. I like the building with the face. I am suspicious because there is not one picture with both you and Erik in it. Are you sure you're not the same person? I bet the Japanese people thought you were! HaHA! Get it?
hey...you should buy some clothes.
There is only on 'l' in Helen. You want to pay me to proofread your posts?
When I put on my blue shirt in the morning Dan was like "oh, I should wear blue too" and changed. It was a concerted effort.
Teamwork ftw!
Hey Daniel, you live in a really nice place. Nagasaki seems so beautiful and lovely.
No picture of the iron ball?
I really liked the pictures of the cathedral and the garden with the pope statue; that's really neat!
Looks like you had a good time. ^_^
