Car Rental at 'Nagasaki Airport'

Nagasaki's largest Shinto shrine is Suva-Jinja located in the north of the city. To climb to the doors of this temple, one will need to overcome as many as 277 steps. The opening of this temple took place in the first half of the 17th century. During that period, Portuguese immigrants were actively engaged in the dissemination of Christian culture among the local population. To preserve their true religious traditions, the townspeople decided to build a new beautiful temple. It is also one of the few that have managed to survive the atomic bombing. In 1984, the temple went through a major reconstruction. It was possible to preserve some original elements of architecture and decoration, and the main innovation was installing the air conditioning system in the temple.
Nagasaki has many interesting museums. The Nagasaki Rekisi Bunka Khakubutsukan opened here in 2005. The bulk of the exhibits collected in it dates back to the 17th-19th centuries when Japan experienced a period of strict isolation from other countries. The museum occupies an old reconstructed estate dating back to the Middle Ages. To date, the museum houses more than 48,000 exhibits, including important historical documents, objects of applied art, valuable historical artifacts, and a rich collection of artworks.

If you like walking, be sure to explore the colorful Chinatown founded in the late 17th century. It has preserved many beautiful historic buildings, which are often occupied by restaurants, stores, and souvenir shops. Located in the heart of Nagasaki, Chinatown will be a great place for shoppers and gourmets.
