Nagasaki | Japan Trip (Part 3)
[Music] We woke up early the next day to start the long trip from Hiroshima to Nagasaki. We took the Shinkansen from Hiroshima station to Hakata which is in Fukuoka and then transferred to make the last trip to Nagasaki. [Music] This was actually my second time in Nagasaki, but my first time in the new station. [Music] The first day, we just dropped our stuff at the hotel and went out to eat and rest for the rest of the night cuz we knew the rest of the time we’ll do a lot of walking and traveling. [Music] The next morning, we went to the Peace Park, which is in the northern part of Nagasaki. Nagasaki was bombed on August 9th, 1945, just 3 days after the bombing in Hiroshima. Tens of thousands of people were killed in an instant. 6 days later on August 15th, 1945, the Japanese surrendered to the Allies. Just like with the memorial and museum in Hiroshima, this peace park is a constant reminder of the devastation that humans can cause to each other and that we should always try to strive for peace. I love you. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] This is the atomic bomb’s hypoenter which is ground zero or the exact exact location where the atomic bomb landed in Nagasaki. It’s located approximately one block south of the Peace Park. [Music] All [Music] [Music] right. [Music] Yeah. [Music] [Music] Slightly east of the hyperenter is the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum. Here you can read about the history of atomic bombs in World War II and see some of the artifacts such as melted pens, melted trees, and also see what different countries are doing to stop using the use of nuclear weapons. [Music] [Music] Yes. [Music] As you can see, this museum was less crowded than the one in Hiroshima. If you don’t want to sift through crowds, come to Nagasaki and see this museum instead. Next, we head to Nakoki’s Chinatown to get some lunch. [Music] [Music] [Music] Just a short walk from Nagasaki’s Chinatown. town, he went to Dejima. Dejima is an artificial idol with a trading post that the Japanese used to trade with the Portuguese and the Dutch. [Music] [Music] [Music] Keep it down. [Music] [Music] [Music] Come on. Let’s see. [Music] [Music] This was my favorite part, seeing the miniature version of Dejim. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] From Digimon, you walk to the fort fair. There are a lot of shops and restaurants and there’s a boardwalk and we enjoy eating our desserts while looking out at the water. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] The next day we went to the 26th Modern Museum in Monument. This museum is located real close to Nagasaki station, maybe around a 5minute walk. This museum commemorates the 26 people who were executed as a deterren to the spread of Christianity. [Music] We arrived a few minutes before it actually opened. So, we just stood outside. It was cold. And watch all the little kitty cats. [Music] Look at that. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Waiting for the museum to open. We had time to admire the surrounding and I saw a lot of stairs. I can’t imagine living up on the top. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Inside the museum, there’s a lot of ancient artifacts and texts. It was very interesting to look at, especially they were in very good condition. There were several portions of the museum that you were not allowed to take pictures and I did not take pictures there. But if you’re interested in the plight of Christians in Japanese history, I would definitely recommend visiting this museum. [Music] I told You see? [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] There’s another one. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Next we went to Glover Garden which is on the southern part of Nagasaki city. Here you can see the influence of the west in Japan. [Music] [Music] While the garden is amazing, what I enjoyed the most is the view. You can see all of Nagasaki from here, especially the water. [Music] Though this is my second time here and it was in November, there were still a lot of flowers. Last time I went was during spring and again that time definitely a lot of flowers. If you have a person who enjoys flowers, different plants, I recommend dropping by Clover Garden. [Music] [Music] [Music] Hold back. [Music] The last place we went to was the Ora Cathedral. Unfortunately, you can’t take pictures or videos while within its grounds. So, I’m only able to take a picture of the cathedral from the entrance, but I definitely recommend going. [Music] Here are all the places that we visited in Nakazaki. As you can see, we went all around from the north to the south. Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed. Uh, please like and subscribe and see you in the next video. Thanks again.
