If you are on a short trip to Nagasaki and wants to attend mass, then this is the closest church to Nagasaki station that offers mass at convenient hours. Although, please be reminded that the mass is in Japanese. Like most churches in Nagasaki remember to take off your shoes. There is a shoe rack in the front of the church but not on the sie entrances.

Took the tram and got off at takaramachi stop, from here it’s an easy 15 minutes walk to the cable car station. The roundtrip fare of the cable car is Jpn$1230, it runs every 20 minutes. Went on in late September at around 6, beautiful sunset and it was quite windy, temperature was around 20 ish and it definitely got colder into the night. But it’s worth the wait, beautiful view of the entire city, lucky to spot hashima island also!

For those of you who don't know, Glover Garden is an open air museum in Nagasaki that exhibits mansions of several of the city's former foreign residents and related buildings. It is located on the hill where Western merchants settled down after the end of Japan's era of seclusion in the second half of the 19th century. As mentioned, it is on a hill. It might be very exhausting to see the whole garden, especially on a hot day. However, the view on the city from the hill is just amazing.

From afar, this beautiful old stone bridge, with its arches reflected in the water, resembles a pair of glasses.

The bridge was originally built in 1634, its construction overseen by the Chinese monk who would go on to become the resident priest of Kofukuji Temple, which is located a short walk away. The bridge, along with many of the others along the river, was badly damaged by floodwaters in 1982, but has since been repaired with recovered stones.
