Satisfaction increases when you know the story! Spring Nagasaki, Exotic Walk-1

Satisfaction increases when you know the story! Exotic stroll in Nagasaki in spring
 


Nagasaki, which has had active exchanges with the West since ancient times, has a history of melding with foreign cultures and developing independently. As you walk through the city, you will find historical buildings dotted around the city, and you will encounter streets that exude an exotic atmosphere.
For example, if you walk from the Minami-Yamate district, where Glover Garden is located, to the Higashi-Yamate area, where there was a foreign settlement, you will find that there are many resting houses built by Westerners in Japan, and Western-style brick and stone buildings built by them. You can easily take a tour.
``When 200 years of national isolation ended, people from all over the world came to Japan.''Learning about this historical story during your trip will make your trip to Nagasaki even more enjoyable. Should be.
Titled: Exotic Walk in Nagasaki. The season is spring, so why not take a trip to learn about history and reminisce?

A Western-style building that has seen history

The Nagasaki City Former Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank Nagasaki Branch Memorial Museum is located about a 3-minute walk from the tram/Oura Catholic Tram stop. After it was constructed in 1904 (Meiji 37), it has gone through various changes and is now restored to its appearance from the banking era. It is one of the largest brick and stone Western-style buildings in Nagasaki City. The multipurpose hall on the first floor is decorated with ornate decorations from the Meiji era. You can enjoy the retro-modern space that makes you feel that Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank was at the cutting edge of its time.
The profound atmosphere and atmosphere filled with the romance of history are due to the history of Nagasaki.
The upper floor is a museum with exhibits about Nagasaki Port, the Shanghai route, and the friendship and achievements of Sun Yat-sen and Shokichi Umeya.

Take a breather while feeling the exotic atmosphere of the Higashiyamate area

If you walk for about 5 minutes from the Nagasaki City Former Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank Nagasaki Branch Memorial Hall in the direction of Dutch Hill, you will find a stylish cafe with an impressive brick exterior and large windows, ``HAYAMA COFFEE''. This restaurant is loved by locals as well. As it is run by a local Nagasaki construction company, the inside of the store looks like an interior showroom. You will be welcomed by a tasteful interior and a world view that seems to match the atmosphere of this area.
We recommend the food menu, which focuses on sandwiches. Be sure to order Nagasaki's new local specialty, ``Mackerel Sandwich,'' which is made by deep-fried Nagasaki mackerel and sandwiched between baguettes.

Special voices of Nagasaki citizens
When I listened to the voices of the citizens, I realized that there was so much Nagasaki that I didn't know. This year, let's go to Nagasaki that you don't know about.

Mr. Osuwa (Suwa Shrine) was my radio gymnastics teacher when I was little. Since I have lived in Nagasaki all my life, I have always taken the cityscape of Nagasaki for granted. As I grew up and went to other prefectures and sightseeing with friends from other prefectures, I began to understand the meaning of an exotic atmosphere that is different from other prefectures. For example, cobblestone streets. On the way home, my child said, ``I hear a helicopter.'' I wondered what he was talking about, but it turned out to be the sound of a car driving down the cobblestone road. I'm sure the children will grow up taking this townscape for granted! I hope you and your family can enjoy this exotic Nagasaki townscape! !

As you walk through the reservation area, you can feel the various cultures and stories that were nurtured by our ancestors who lived here. At the same time, you will also be able to experience the feelings of the many people who have cherished and inherited these treasures. I am currently living in a foreign settlement, but I love spending time drinking tea and taking a break in a Western-style building that was actually used by foreigners during the former settlement. We hope you enjoy it in your own way, whether it's just enjoying the cityscapes and exotic places, or learning about the history and cultural background and thinking about it!

I was born and raised in Nagasaki, and until my second year of junior high school, I grew up in Juninmachi, a place where you can walk down a few steps from my house to the Tojin Yashiki Ruins area, and vice versa, up a few steps to the Higashi-Yamate area. When I was a child, I used to play with my friends on the stairs of the Tsuchijin-do bridge, and on the steep slope in front of Higashiyamate Juinibankan, my friends and I would bring cardboard boxes and experiment with them, saying, ``Have you tried sliding down this pile of stones?'' (In the end, I didn't slip and took turns pulling each other.) Regardless of whether there was a temple there or a Western-style building, I never had any doubts about it. I never thought I'd get a job walking around the town, but this job made me realize that the scenery that we take for granted is actually not that way, and I realized that my hometown is so interesting. This was a big discovery after I became a student. I would like to be able to convey the appeal and fun of Nagasaki that I felt to not only customers outside the prefecture, but also customers within the prefecture.
