We went to Nagasaki from Fukuoka by JR Express train called Kamome 13 on 14th of March.

Nagasaki is famous for raining, and it was raining when we got there. I bought a cool umbrella at the station. You can see lots of Western influence in Nagasaki. We bought a one day tram tickets at the station. We took a tram to Glover Garden. On the way to Glover Garden, we stop and took a photo at Oura Catholic Church. After the Glover Garden, we took a tram again to Dejima. We walked to Port of Nagasaki, and at last we went to a church on the hill, and Martyrdom of the 26 Saints. We did not have time to visit Atomic Bomb Museum.

We did not have a enough time in Nagasaki. It would be good to stay over night, then you can see more in Nagasaki. Marc really liked Nagasaki as it is close to the ocean, and surrounded by hills.

When we came back from Nagasaki, my mother's first question was "What did you eat in Nagasaki? " instead of "What did you see in Nagasaki?" Marc learned how food is important for Japanese people.
