Located halfway up Mt. Inasa overlooking the city of Nagasaki,Inasayama Kanko Hotel”is a long-established hotel that was founded in 1940. Up until now, we have welcomed many group tourists and students on school excursions, but in recent years the number of individual tourists has increased and the number is now about the same.We will carry out a rebrand in anticipation of our 2023th anniversary in 100. With the theme of ``Welcome to the hotel where you travel at night,'' we strive to provide even more comfortable moments and improve our services. Additionally, in conjunction with this rebrand, we have set four internal goals: "For Peace," "For People," "For Earth," and "For Nagasaki." ``For Peace'' is a goal that inherited the desire of the founder (grandfather), who experienced war and the atomic bomb, to ``contribute to peace through the hotel business,'' and currently offers guests a wish for peace. We are working on an initiative where people can fold origami cranes with their own words. Through the tourism industry, I hope to contribute even a little to world peace.

As Managing Director, I play the role of a lubricant for overall management, such as improving service, quality, and sales, and improving the workplace environment, as well as taking on new business challenges. One of these is the development of "Nagasaki soup curry."
I have personally loved curry for a long time, and through trial and error to create a delicious curry, I came up with the idea, ``Maybe we could create a new local curry based on Nagasaki's Champon soup?'' Taking advantage of the temporary idle time at hotels due to the coronavirus pandemic, we developed retort-packed spice curry. This is a new local curry that is unique to Nagasaki, using Nagasaki Batten chicken and Nagasaki Yoshiju pork.

There are places all over Japan with beautiful night views, but in Hakodate and Kobe, for example, it's common to enjoy the view from one direction. In the case of Nagasaki, you can look down on the city from various places on the mortar-shaped topography, so you can enjoy a different perspective from each location.
For example, the night view seen from the top of Mt. Inasa is filled with large-scale light that resembles the Milky Way. The night view seen from the roof of the Inasayama Kanko Hotel, located halfway up the mountain, makes you feel more familiar with the movement of cars and the lights of houses on the slope.Of course, the night view from Mt. Nabekan, Mt. Futo, and Mt. Tate on the other side is also wonderful, and I think the night view of Nagasaki is unique in that you can enjoy a night view that lets you feel the breath of the city from a close distance.
Watching the sunrise from Mt. Inasa is also highly recommended. The gradation of the scenery as the city gradually becomes brighter from night to night is very beautiful. Every year on the morning of New Year's Day, it is customary for many guests to watch the first sunrise from the hotel rooftop.

After all, it is the annual autumn festival of Suwa Shrine."Nagasaki Kunchi"I would like you to visit in early October when it will be held. You can get a close-up view of the ``Niwasaki'' where each dance town walks through the city, performs dances in front of buildings, and distributes good fortune. Nowadays, you can use apps to track your location in real time, so you can easily find your favorite Odoricho."We also recommend that you enjoy it by "chasing" it.Although it is a festival of a shrine, it is a unique festival that can only be found in Nagasaki, even if you search all over the country.
Actually, 10 years ago, I also participated in the dragon dance in Goto Town. They prepare for months before the actual performance, build up their stamina, and practice repeatedly before the actual performance. Although it is quite difficult, "Nagasaki Kunchi" is fun not only to watch but also to do.

The center of Nagasaki city, especially around Doza and Shianbashi, is packed with a variety of shops, making it perfect for walking around drinking and eating out. As a standard course for guiding acquaintances, first,A bite-sized gyoza shop that is familiar to citizens.I order gyoza, beer, and ``Pork Nitoji'' where you can enjoy Nagasaki's sauce culture.I don't think there is any food that goes so well with Worcestershire sauce (lol)
The second stop is an izakaya where you can eat fresh sashimi. Afterwards, stop by bars and snacks, and finish off with Shime's Champon or rice balls. When it comes to the taste of memories, it's a dish unique to Nagasaki that has recently become well-known in other prefectures."White ``Tekka Maki.'' It's a roll made of fresh fish such as yellowtail, and has an outstanding crunchy texture.For me, white was the norm, so when I came to Tokyo and ate red tuna tekka rolls, I was shocked.

"Nagasaki's normal life is a wonder of the world"

Be sure to stop by some traditional local bars and snacks. The photo is from Shianbashi tram stop, which is a 2-minute walk away.Heart Land YOU” shop. The atmosphere is casual and friendly, and you can fully enjoy the Nagasaki dialect that local moms are known for. Finding a favorite and familiar restaurant will make your trip even more enjoyable.
Historically, the center of Nagasaki city has been made up of people who came from various places for the purpose of visiting Dejima. I once heard the saying, ``If you've lived there for three generations, you're a Nagasaki native,'' and I feel that the culture here is not exclusive, but accepting of people from outside. I hope you have the courage to stop by a local shop. I'm sure you'll be warmly welcomed and asked, "Where are you from?"
