		Nagasaki's attractions are as varied as they are plentiful: feudal castles, samurai houses, Meiji-era Western villas, smoking volcanoes, mineral-rich hot-spring baths, architecturally pleasing resorts, rugged islands, beautiful beaches, and a hospitable and friendly people are just a few of the rewards awaiting the visitor to this diverse and dynamic prefecture.
		Nagasaki's irregular coastline is composed of peninsulas, promontories, bays, and inlets, and ranks second to Hokkaido's in length.
		The prefecture is quite close to the Asian mainland: it is 800 kilometers to Shanghai, while the South Korean port of Pusan is a mere 49.5kilometers from Tsushima Island.

	Nagasaki : Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Capital of Nagasaki Prefecture, Nagasaki is also perhaps Japan's most cosmopolitan city with a unique blend of outside cultures interwoven into its history, architecture, food, and festivals.
		Nagasaki, which is located on the northwest coast of Kyushu, opened its harbor to European vessels in 1571 and became a port of call for Portuguese and Dutch ships; Chinese merchants soon followed and set up their own community.
		Nagasaki is perhaps best known as the second city -- and, I hope, the last city -- to be destroyed by an atomic bomb.

		Nagasaki Station isn't located in the downtown part of the city; rather, most nightspots, shops, and restaurants are located southeast of the station, clustered around an area that contains Shianbashi Dori and Kanko Dori streets and the Hamanomachi covered shopping arcade.
		Nearby is Hollanders Slope (Oranda-zaka, also referred to as Dutch Slope), undoubtedly Nagasaki's prettiest street, a cobbled lane lined with wooden houses built by former European residents (a century ago, the people of Nagasaki referred to all Europeans as Hollanders).
		The streetcars are ancient one-wagon affairs, retired to Nagasaki from other cities that considered them too slow and old-fashioned -- and yet, since streetcars have their own lanes of traffic here, during rush hour they're usually the fastest on the road.
