At first glance, the city appears to be modern, having been rebuilt since the end of World War II; however, your exploration will also reveal more historical areas with temples and secluded gardens. Still, attractions that commemorate Nagasaki’s destruction from the bomb blast take center stage. The Peace Memorial Park now stands near Ground Zero and features statues and sculptures that countries all over the world have donated.

You will also browse the Atomic Bomb Museum, which holds hundreds of artifacts that show the power of the bomb’s impact and contains displays on modern nuclear technology.

As you will see, traditional methods are still used to manufacture a wide variety of products. During free time in Arita’s atmospheric Old Town, be sure to browse the pottery galleries.

The museum’s goal is to candidly show the devastation from the atomic bomb in hopes that nuclear weapons will eventually be abolished.

A plaque stands at Unzen Hell to commemorate the martyrs. The struggles of Japan’s early Christians are also detailed at Shimabara Castle, which was built by the lord that ordered the Christians to be murdered at Unzen Hell.
