Nagasaki (長崎市, Nagasaki-shi, Japanese: [naɡaꜜsaki]) ( listen (help·info)) is the capital and the largest city of Nagasaki Prefecture on the island of Kyushu in Japan. The city's name, 長崎, means "Long Cape" in Japanese. Nagasaki became a centre of colonial Portuguese and Dutch influence in the 16th through 19th centuries, and Churches and Christian Sites in Nagasaki have been proposed for inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Part of Nagasaki was home to a major Imperial Japanese Navy base during the First Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War.

This place is very serene, got lost a little in the underground while walking but every different corner presents the way how nagasaki has went thur after the bombing occurred. They shown it in different forms of 3D videos, pictures, portraits, artefacts, computer images and also paper cranes made by school kids to ensure World Peace. Was not expected to spend so much time here but when you walk thur all this and reading them, almost took me up an hour+. And yes, i agree that this place does more than what you feel like its a memorial hall for the victims. I felt more peace after walking through the memorial hall seeing so much.

An artificial island to which Dutch workers were restricted during Japan's era of isolation, the area is now being restored and includes historical buildings, a museum and a miniature model of the former island.
Reviewed By deckchairtraveller - Sydney, Australia
Thus is the re-make of the original Dutch settlement on edge of the old Nagasaki harbour. Was a locally built island JUST for the Europeans, has been realistically restored. Excellent historic exhibits and rooms made to look like they originally were utilised (stores or living). At the far end of the street is a model of the island n' buildings and shows you just how small (n' compact) it all was then. Established in 1500's and lasted till mid 1800's and was the "sugar route" into the rest of Japan. Imports were sugar, tobacco and (early on) even silk from China.

The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Company established its Nagasaki Branch in 1896. The present building was designed by Kikutaro Shimoda and completed in 1904 as the new office building of the Nagasaki Branch. After the closure of the Nagasaki Branch in 1931, the building was utilized for other purposes, becoming a police station and later a museum. Upon request from the citizens of Nagasaki, the building underwent restoration work and reopened in 1996 as the Former Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank Nagasaki Branch Museum. Following renovations, the museum reopened in April 2014 as a joint facility incorporating the Nagasaki Museum of Modern-Era Exchange, Sun Yat-sen & Umeya Shokichi.
