Overview
Houses stacked in a bowl of hills, some slopes too steep for cars - so inclined lifts were installed to carry goods.
About this place
Nagasaki (長崎, Nagasaki; Japanese pronunciation: [na.ɡaꜜ.sa.kʲi, na.ŋa-], lit. 'Long Cape'), officially Nagasaki City (長崎市, Nagasaki-shi; [na.ɡa.sa.kʲi̥ꜜ.ɕi, na.ɡa.saꜜ.kʲi̥.ɕi, na.ŋa-]), is the capital and the largest city of Nagasaki Prefecture on the island of Kyushu in Japan. Founded by the Portuguese, the port of Nagasaki became the sole port used for trade with the Portuguese and Dutch during the 16th through 19th centuries. The Hidden Christian Sites in the Nagasaki Region have been recognized and included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list. Part of Nagasaki was home to a major Imperial Japanese Navy base during the First Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War. Near the end of World War II, the American atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki made Nagasaki the second city in the world to experience a nuclear attack. The city was later rebuilt. As of February 1, 2024, Nagasaki has an estimated population of 392,281, and a population density of 966 people per km2. The total area is 405.86 km2 (156.70 sq mi).
