Nagasaki City has many attractions unique to Nagasaki, including its unique culture and customs that were born from interactions with foreign countries.
I decided to hold a photo exhibition because I wanted people to know about the unique charms of Nagasaki City, which are common to local residents but mysterious to people outside the city.
If you come to know Nagasaki from a citizen's perspective, you will be able to enjoy Nagasaki even more.

In Japan, where the penetration rate is 10%,
The TV penetration rate on Gunkanjima is
Almost 100%.*As of 1958More than 160 people live on the island, which is 480m long and 5000m wide, and is home to not only kindergartens, elementary and junior high schools, and hospitals, but also
It was more like a town than an island, with temples, shrines, movie theaters, and even pachinko parlors.
Hashima, commonly known as Gunkanjima, is a world heritage site where the town has remained as it was back in the day.
Japan's first high-rise reinforced concrete apartment buildings are lined up,
Miners have high salaries and nearly 10% of them own televisions in Japan, where the penetration rate is 100%.
During the heyday of coal mining, it had the highest population density in the world, 15 times that of New York.

The more you know, the more Ryoma's footprints are everywhere.
Places in the city associated with Ryoma Sakamoto are famous for the bronze statue in Kazegashira Park and Kameyama Shachu, Japan's first trading company.
It is said that Ryoma often visited Wakamiya Shrine, which is located right next to the shrine, along with other patriots at the end of the Edo period.
Finally, Sakamoto Ryoma Shrine was built and Ryoma's amulet was available.
From there, you can admire the scenery typical of a hill town and go down Ryoma Street, where people from the company used to come and go.
There is the remains of the photo station where Hikoma Ueno was photographed wearing a haori hakama and boots.
Also in the city are Shofukuji Temple, where negotiations were held during the Irohamaru Incident, and the ruins of the Ozone mansion where he first stayed.
If you go further, you can see the mansion where Glover lived, where he bought a training boat and guns.
In the evening, visit Kagetsu, a historic restaurant that Ryoma also visited, and see the sword scars on the pillars made by Ryoma and his handwritten petition.
If you've come all the way, touring the historical sites is just like Ryoma, and it's all about action.

Kaminoshima is where two gods live together.
Kaminoshima, which is now connected to land, was once an island with a circumference of about 1 km that could only be accessed by boat.
At the southern tip of the island, there is a small cape that juts out into Nagasaki Port.
If you look from a distance, you can see the two torii gates of the shrine and a large 4.6m statue of Mary beyond them.
However, if you head to the cape and climb the stairs with a torii gate, you will find Ebisu-sama enshrined there.
Ebisu holding a sea bream has been worshiped as the god of bountiful catches since ancient times.
The statue of Mary was erected in 1949 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the arrival of Francisco Xavier.
Here, two faiths come together to truly bring the world closer to our daily lives.Click here to book your trip to Nagasaki

A bridge between Nagasaki and France.
In 1879, Father de Rotz was assigned to the Sotome area, where hidden Christians had overcome the hardships of the era when Christianity was prohibited.
Utilizing the priest's wide knowledge of architecture, medicine, industry, etc.,
He invested his personal funds to build two churches in Shitsu and Ono for the benefit of his followers, and established an orphanage and midwifery home.
They passed on methods of growing wheat and noodle making techniques that could be grown even in poor soil, and started industries such as textiles and printing.
We provided a place for church-centered living and supported the independence of believers.
Exchanges began between the priest's birthplace, the village of Vosserolles in northwestern France, and Sotome.
Three bridges dyed in the colors of the French flag were built in Sotome, which has become a sister city.
It is a bridge with France that Father de Rotz gave to us.Click here to book your trip to Nagasaki

So tonight, should I eat sashimi or boiled food?The East China Sea, which Nagasaki Port faces, is known as the ``cradle of fish'' because it is home to many migratory fish, with more than 250 types of fish being landed, and the number of fish landed being the third in the country.
Glover's son Tomisaburo Kuraba saw many rare fish.
We asked five Japanese painters living in Nagasaki to draw a total of 801 fish pictures.

Peaches have been revered in China since ancient times as the fruit of eternal youth and longevity.
In Nagasaki, a return gift for celebrating the first annual festival on the Doll's Festival on March 3rd (so-called family celebration)
This is "Momo Castella".
Nowadays, girls eat it during the Doll's Festival to celebrate their own longevity and health.
It is also given on auspicious occasions such as marriage and childbirth.
The top is a sugar-crafted peach, and the bottom is a lightly sweetened castella dough that takes into account its sweetness.

The grouper whose line was cut during the battle,
The first person to pick it up is the next owner.In Nagasaki, kites are called Hata.
But it's not just the name that makes it different from other regions.
You control the grouper freely, start a battle, and use your own grouper's line to cut the opponent's line.
The rule is that if a dropped grouper is picked up first, it will become the next owner.
In the past, children were rushing to catch the grouper whose line had been cut.
Grouper is said to have been introduced from Indonesia on a Dutch ship.
Decorative groupers are popular as souvenirs, with beautiful patterns drawn in three colors of red, blue and white, and available in a variety of sizes.
Grouper frying competitions are held from April to early May, and there are usually grouper frying classes that anyone can enjoy.Click here to book your trip to Nagasaki

There's not enough land,
Dejima quit the island.Many ports, such as Nagasaki Port, are known as ``good natural ports.''
Because the mountains are close to the sea, the sea is deep right next to the land.
Even large ships can enter the port without worrying about running aground.
However, as it prospers, more people gather at the port.
There was a lack of flat land to build towns and factories, and ports were gradually being filled in.
Before the port was opened in the late 16th century, it was approximately 3 km from the current Nagasaki Port terminal.
The sea used to extend to the area where Peace Park now stands.
When you visit Dejima, you'll probably think, "It doesn't face the sea, right?"
If you look at the night view from the observation decks of Mt. Kazeto, Mt. Inasa, and Mt. Nabekan, overlooking Nagasaki Port,
You'll notice that the area is filled with street lamps all the way to the sea.

Nice to meet you, I'm Uchiwa Ebi.
Even though it was shrimp, it was a bit flat and ungainly (rude).
In the past, even if flounder were caught in fishing nets, they were not put on the market because they were unfamiliar with them.
They were either eaten by locals or returned to the sea.
Moreover, we have no idea where they live and their ecology, and fishing is unstable.
Still, it has a plump texture and sweetness that rivals Ise lobster.
In recent years, full-scale fishing has started in order to give more people the chance to experience it.
Currently, fan shrimp are being landed in various places within Nagasaki Prefecture.
Fishing seasons are determined by region, and the amount of fish caught is controlled.
It's rare and valuable, so you'll be lucky if you can find it at a restaurant that sells it.
If you find it at a store, don't hesitate to order it.We are now transmitting Nagasaki's "delicious!"

Almost a bike shop.According to a 2021 survey by the Bicycle Industry Promotion Association,
The number of bicycles owned per household in Nagasaki is 0.38.
Compared to the national average of 1.03 units, this continues to be by far the lowest.
Because there are so few flat places that it is called "Slope Town",
I rarely see bicycles in the city.
In fact, there are rumors that there are some citizens who cannot ride bicycles.
When you visit a private shop that calls itself a bicycle shop,

The Peace Statue was created by Seibo Kitamura, a sculptor from Nagasaki.
The right hand pointing to the sky represents the threat of the atomic bomb, and the left hand stretched horizontally represents peace.
The lightly closed eyelids symbolize the desire to pray for the souls of the atomic bomb victims.
