ABOUT NAGASAKI, JAPAN
  • Nagasaki is a city in the southwest of Japan, surrounded by mountains and the sea.
  • The city plays an important role in Japan's exchange with other countries and was the most important of only a very few ports open to restricted numbers of foreign traders during Japan's period of isolation.
  • Compared with larger Japanese cities, Nagasaki is safe, has relatively cheap prices, and is generally a place where international students find it easy to live.
  • The weather is generally mild and humid, due to the Pacific Ocean climate system to the east and the warm Tsushima Current from the west. 
  • Nagasaki Prefecture has abundant mountainous land and a long complex coastline comprised of numerous peninsulas, capes, bays, and inlets. These islands make up over 45% of the prefecture's total land.
