Just a short trip from the port of Nagasaki City, this abandoned island once housed a community of 5000 workers and their families, all packed within a bizarrely small space. The Japanese name “Gunkanjima” translates to “Battleship Island,” on account of total urbanization leaving it looking like a warship at sea.
Since 1974, the mine which drew these workers in has been closed, and the island has since emptied out completely. Nowadays, it has a decidedly haunted look about it, which is why it was chosen as the lair for the villain in the James Bond movie Skyfall. 
Although you won’t be allowed to bring your silenced pistol or armored Aston Martin along, tours can be taken to the island ever since a purpose-built boat dock was added in 2009. The trip takes about 50 minutes, after which you’ll alight on a fully-fledged ghost town (complete with crumbling buildings so dangerous that you’re not allowed to get too close).

这座废弃的小岛距离长崎市的港口只有很短的路程，曾经居住着 5000 名工人及其家属，他们都挤在一个奇异的狭小空间里。日语名称 "君权岛 "的意思是 "军舰岛"，因为完全城市化使它看起来像一艘海上军舰。
自 1974 年以来，吸引这些工人前来的矿井已经关闭，岛上的人也完全走光了。如今，这座小岛看起来鬼气森森，这也是它被选为詹姆斯-邦德电影《007 之天幕杀机》中反派巢穴的原因。 
虽然您不能携带消音手枪或装甲阿斯顿-马丁，但自从 2009 年专门建造了一个游船码头后，您就可以参加游览该岛的旅行团了。船程约 50 分钟，下船后您将看到一个完全成熟的鬼城（到处都是摇摇欲坠的建筑，非常危险，您不能靠得太近）。

这座破败的工业化岛屿的名字翻译过来就是 "战舰岛"，它的名字与詹姆斯-邦德（007）有关，并为游客提供了独特的观光体验。

Gunkanjima

Once the only place where selected foreign traders were allowed to do business during Japan’s years of isolationism, this sunny outcrop on the west side of Kyushu was centuries ahead of the rest of Japan in terms of cultural interchange. It’s clear on the streets of Nagasaki City, where you’ll find Western-style architecture mixed in with local buildings, and more Japanese Christians than anywhere else.

This area was once the place to discover strange new technologies and goods brought by the Dutch and Chinese, and it has its very own cuisine as a result: Shippoku Ryori. This is a fusion of Japanese, Chinese, and European foods unlike anything found elsewhere.

The town of Sasebo — now home to a US military base — pays homage to the diverse past of the region with a theme park named Huis Ten Bosch. This quirky, family-friendly place recreates a vision of historic Holland, with canals, windmills, and the obligatory tulip fields. 

However, this history also has some darker moments, most notoriously the devastating nuclear bombing of Nagasaki City at the end of World War II. This event is also memorialized through the Nagasaki Peace Park and Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum — somewhat less famous than their counterparts in Hiroshima, but no less somber and reflective.

If you’ve had your fill of history and fine dining, then like the Dutch and Chinese traders who visited before you, why not take to the sea? Nagasaki enjoys some of the most crystalline blue seas in Japan, perfect for all kinds of water sports. Dotted around the waters you’ll also find some fascinating islands: from a historic hideaway which recently gained video game fame, to Gunkanjima from Skyfall (a James Bond movie).

在日本闭关锁国的年代，这里曾是唯一允许外国商人经商的地方，九州岛西侧阳光明媚的突出部在文化交流方面领先日本其他地区数百年。在长崎市的街道上，您可以清楚地看到西式建筑与当地建筑的融合，以及比其他地方更多的日本基督徒。

这里曾是发现荷兰人和中国人带来的奇特新技术和新商品的地方，也因此拥有了自己的美食：四国料理。这是一种融合了日本、中国和欧洲风味的美食，与其他地方的美食截然不同。

佐世保镇（现为美军基地所在地）有一个名为 Huis Ten Bosch 的主题公园，向该地区的多元历史致敬。这个奇特、适合全家游玩的地方再现了荷兰的历史景象，运河、风车和郁金香花田应有尽有。 

然而，这段历史也有一些黑暗的时刻，其中最著名的是二战末期对长崎市的毁灭性核轰炸。长崎和平公园（Nagasaki Peace Park）和长崎原子弹博物馆（Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum）也对这一事件进行了纪念。

如果您已经饱览了历史和美食，那么何不像之前来访的荷兰和中国商人一样，来一次海上之旅？长崎拥有日本最清澈蔚蓝的大海，非常适合各种水上运动。海面上还分布着一些迷人的岛屿：从最近在电子游戏中声名鹊起的历史隐居地，到詹姆斯-邦德电影《天降杀机》（Skyfall）中的 "君权岛"（Gunkanjima）。

作为日本通往外部世界的历史门户，这里拥有宜人的气候、独特的文化和独一无二的美食。

Nagasaki Prefecture has been the nexus of Japan’s interchange with Europe for centuries, with one of the most unique culinary cultures in Japan as a result (not to mention the sun, sea, and islands).

A 20th-century ghost town covering an entire small island — there’s nowhere else quite like this in all of Japan.

NOT SURE WHERE TO GO?

The archipelago of Japan consists of four main islands, eight regions of Japan, and a total of 47 prefectures between them, each with their own diverse traditions, culture, food, and history. Hokkaido is the main northern island, followed by Honshu (home to Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, and Chugoku), Shikoku, Kyushu, and the Okinawa islands to the southwest.

Discover the unique offerings of each region by checking out the Japan areas above, like the coastal prefecture of Shizuoka (home to hot springs, Mt. Fuji, and a booming agricultural industry) and Nara Prefecture (which boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites). While Japan might be perceived as a tiny country (the archipelago is smaller than the state of California), the nation is diverse in climate and culture. Each area of Japan has its own staple produce and regional Japanese cuisine.

Not only can you explore the popular destinations of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, but there are also a variety of other areas in Japan ranging from adventurous spots for daredevils to super-rural areas where visitors can connect with the land and people. From climbing Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka to indulging in matcha tea in Uji to enjoying island life in Okinawa (considered to be Japan’s Hawaii), these Japan areas each offer diverse experiences and ample opportunity for exploration. To make your Japan travel planning a little easier, browse these area pages where you can discover Japan tourist attractions, Japanese food experiences, and more!

Delve into Japanese food culture, discovering the distinctive and diverse range of Japanese dishes which are sometimes sophisticated, sometimes hearty and comforting, but always delicious. These Japanese foods offer a window into the world of “washoku” (Japanese cuisine), which made UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2013.	


There’s worldwide appreciation for Japanese food, with Tokyo boasting the world’s highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants for the 12th year in a row in 2019. Not only is Japan home to some of the best chefs and restaurants in the world, but the Japanese cuisine (“washoku”) is also celebrated as one of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritages. The main staples of Japanese food include rice (in various forms from steamed white rice to mochi), soy products (tofu, soy sauce, miso soup, natto), fish (sashimi, bonito flakes, grilled salmon), seaweed (kombu, nori, wakame), noodles (soba, udon, ramen), and tsukemono (Japanese pickles). Different regions of Japan also have their own specialty foods. Osaka, considered “The Nation’s Kitchen” is the birthplace of takoyaki, Kyoto is famous for tofu and yuba, and Okinawa is known for goya champuru (bittermelon stir fry). Many regions in Japan have their own special twists on dishes like Japanese ramen, nabe (hot pot), and ozoni (mochi soup eaten on New Year’s Day). Explore the Japanese foods above and learn about the diversity of Japanese cuisine, then perhaps you can join a food experience and learn to make Japanese food during a cooking class, become an expert on Japanese sake or tea during a tasting experience, or discover your new favorite type of ramen during a ramen tour. The landscape of Japanese food is evolving, so eating in Japan is always an adventure, with restaurants and chefs riffing on traditional and modern foods, Eastern and Western cooking styles and flavors, and creating inventive eats like chocolate ramen, matcha beer, or ridiculously pillowy Japanese pancakes. Discover your new favorite Japanese food here on byFood and delve deeper into Japanese food culture.
