Narrow bus route | Every time I encounter the wonders of the world, I usually go to Nagasaki

This is what Nagasaki is like! Recommendations from local residents

The relationship between buses and Nagasaki, born from a city of hills

Nagasaki is known as a city of slopes. It is said that about 4% of the city area is made up of sloping land, and due to these geographical circumstances, Nagasaki Prefecture has the highest number of buses per capita in Japan.

The bus traveling down such a narrow hilly road is itself a tourist attraction!

Nagasaki is a city with many narrow residential roads, and you can see steep slopes, curves, and winding roads with large ups and downs everywhere. Narrow routes are very satisfying to ride, and many bus fans say that the driving skills of the bus drivers who operate on these routes are also worth watching.
This Nagasaki Bus route, which connects the "Inasayama Park Bus Stop" to the "Akebonomachi Bus Stop", is a series of sharp curves. It is an easy route to get to as it starts from Mount Inasa, a tourist spot with a spectacular view, and the view from the bus from the middle of the mountain is exceptional.
The section from "Kaminosaka" in the direction of Akunoura to "Omagari" also has an extreme feel to it. There are continuous 180-degree curves, and the sight of the bus going around the narrow road is a spectacular sight. Even after passing that, the narrow route continues, and you can see Nagasaki Port, so it's also great for sightseeing.
Other recommended routes include the Sotome area, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the west coast and the moment when the sun sets. The Tohakkei route, which is a very busy section, and the route to the Nagasaki Penguin Aquarium (Nagasaki Prefectural Bus) are also recommended.
Whether you're a bus fan or not, we encourage you to find your favorite bus route in Nagasaki and try it out. You'll experience a different side of Nagasaki than you would with regular sightseeing!
