Nagasaki Nagasaki is a port city and capital of the Nagasaki Prefecture. It is located on the southwest coast of the island Kyushu.
background
At the end of the 12th century Nagasaki was still an insignificant fishing village with a beautiful, but remote natural harbor. This changed when the first Europeans reached Japan in the 16th century. Trade relations developed, with the Portuguese traders carrying goods from their homeland as well as from China. In their wake came Jesuits who began missionary work. That was soon an end: under Toyotomi Hideyoshi 26 Christians and their missionaries were executed. In the meantime the Dutch had also set up a trading post, and Chinese merchants were also active on the island. However, the freedom of movement of foreign traders was very limited, so that cultural exchange with Europe was only possible in Nagasaki. Ironically, this city was then the target of an atomic bomb on August 9, 1945, which destroyed the city and more than 100,000 lives.
Nagasaki is now a flourishing city again with around 400,000 inhabitants, the port is the destination of trade and cruise ships from all over the world.
