Summary

Refer to this site: http://www.tabirai.net/sightseeing/feature/nagasaki-kanko.aspx

Nagasaki has contributed to Japan as the various bases of industrial development so much. It retains different landscape from other Japanese cities due to the influence of cultural influx from foreign countries and the townscape with many slopes. I love Nagasaki that leaves unique culture and history very much.
