Dynamic sunset over the East China Sea viewed from Nabe-kanmuriyama Park.

Shimmering city of gold at night, Nagasaki: This city has prospered through trade with European countries, China and Russia since olden times

At twilight, just after the sun goes down, the sky turns deep blue...my favorite moment!

White elegance of 'Megami Ohashi (Goddess Bridge: Venus Wing) took my breath away

I strolled on a street looking for good night-view spots and reached Glover Garden

Night view of Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum, which is located inside Nagasaki Seaside Park

Lit-up Megami Ohashi (Goddess Bridge: Venus Wing). I wonder if the light beyond the bridge was coming from Iojima Island Bridge?

When you get off the Glover Sky Road (incline elevator), this night view will be waiting for you

Nagasaki Dejima Wharf was built on the site of the foreign settlements where foreign traders used to live

Night view of the Port of Nagasaki. Many ships of various sizes come and go through the neighborhood of Nagasaki Seaside Park

A ship from the Nagasaki Tall Ships Festival. Many sailing ships, including large ones, from all over the world get together here in Nagasaki

Night view seen from Mt. Inasa. In the center, you can see Nagasaki Dejima Wharf and Land Plaza inside Nagasaki Seaside Park

I visited Kyushu for a week at the end of last year. The reason for my visit was of course, to take A LOT OF photos wherever I explored.

This time, I celebrated the new year in Nagasaki. This exotic city, which has a long trading history with foreign countries, never ceases to intrigue me. Nagasaki has everything I love: a streetscape, night view, historical sites, etc. The best place to spend a new year holiday for me!
