Nagasaki
Nagasaki is a coastal city on the island of Kyushu, Japan, known historically as a vital port for Portuguese and Dutch traders during Japan’s period of national isolation. It tragically became the second city to be devastated by an atomic bomb on August 9, 1945, leading to Japan’s surrender in World War II. Today, Nagasaki is a symbol of peace and resilience, home to the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum and Peace Park.
