Day 4: NAGASAKI

The historic town of 2nd world war; Nagasaki. Today trip started in early morning as everyday. 500 yen Nagasaki one day pass was bought.

We firstly went to Glover Garden, western and Japanese style garden.




Our tasks in this garden is searching for 2 heart shape stones that are the representative of fulfilled love. Almost everyone in my team were enthusiastic to find ones. Finally, Sunchai was the love stone discoverer (by catching the area that most crowded).





Heart stone; the representative of fulfilled love.


The famous Nagasaki souvenir; 3 large pieces of Kasutera (cake) were bought, sharing between us. We found out soon that it was not delicious at all, we had to try to finish them difficultly.

After sightseeing Glover Garden we took for hours for searching for our lunch that was hardly presence of any food shop or reasonable price restaurant in Nagasaki. My friends denied bento in Minimart because they had them every day as their breakfast. Because of no restaurant here, finally, we couldn’t refuse Bento as our lunch in one of somewhat good bento shop. Actually, because of its low cost and delicious, I do love Bento and were able to get it almost every meal of this trip but my friends are bored Bento.
Then we walked on steep pathway harshly to Peach Park, that consist of Peach statue which was completed in 1955, ten years after the atomic bombing. The raised arm points to the threat of nuclear weapons and the out stretched arm symbolized peace.


After that Nagasaki China Town was explored and headed to Sofukuji temple that is not as beautiful as in the picture and Spectacles Bridge that I love it!! Spectacles Bridge gets its name from the fact that the two arches and their reflection in the river look like a pair of eyeglasses. The Romantic view of evening scene of Spectacles bridge attracted many of couples to date and take photos here. If you come here especially with you sweetheart, this is one place of my recommendation.

We ended up our trip at western restaurant that is famous of stake and ice-cream. My friends seem happy with their own dinner however I did not get it at all because of high cost and I had my own prepared bento.
