No visit to Japan is complete without visiting Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Therefore Nagasaki, a city with 450,000 population was the last destination on my Japan tour. During World War II, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki made Nagasaki the second last city in the world to experience a nuclear attack.
In terms comparison of memorials, Hirioshima was a tough act to follow and after having seen Nagasaki I would have to give the nod to Hiroshima.
As of January 1, 2009, the city has an estimated population of 446,007 and a population density of 1,100 persons per km². The total area is 406.35 km².
