My family and I departed to Nagasaki from Hakata Station by JR. It took about 2 hours to reach Nagasaki JR station. Once we arrived, we bought the one day pass for city tram, which cost about 500 yen per person and children under 3 years old are free.

Then, we took the tram to Chisun Grand Nagasaki hotel in order to leave our luggages in hotel before going to any tourist spots. The hotel located just 2 stations after Nagasaki Ekimae tram station. The hotel staffs were very friendly to us. After resting for a while, we decided to find for food.

We went to Dejima tram station to check on any restaurants, and we saw Chanpon (noodles soup with variety of ingredient in it) near the port. Nagasaki is famous with Chanpon, we decided to try it. We also went to Hamanmachi and to try the special rice with chawanmushi. After done with our late lunch, we took the tram and visited Nagasaki Peace Park. The park just near to Matsuyamamachi tram station. When I reached the entrance of the park, I was so glad that there was escalator next to staircases. I came with my mum so it would be easier for her to enter the park by escalator and not walked through the long way of staircases.

There were a Peace Statue and a Peace fountain in it. There was a path to go Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum from Nagasaki Peace Park. We planned to visit Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum but kids were tired so we back to hotel to have a rest.

When people talk about Nagasaki, they will definitely recommend “Night view” from Mount Inasa. It is ranked as one of the best top 3 night views in Japan, the summit can be reached either by ropeway, bus or car. We chose to go by bus as the hotel offered discount tickets that cost only 1200 yen per person. The best thing we liked was the waiting point, which was right in front of hotel. We did not need to take a tram back to Nagasaki ekimae station to wait for the bus.

It was weekday but the bus was full with people. When we reached the summit, we saw the observatory deck was decorated with beautiful lights. It looked like an ideal place for couple to visit. Although the weather of the day was a bit cloudy, but we were still able to see the amazing 360 degree view.

The next day before leaving Nagasaki, we bought some Castella cake for omiyage.
