Confucius Memorial and Chinese Historic Museum This colorful and extravagant memorial is the only building built by overseas Chinese to commemorate Confucius. The 72 wise men and the statue of Confucius were all imported from China. The adjoining Chinese Historic Museum contains imperial cultural items that were presented by the Peking Gugong Institute to the city of Nagasaki and also artifacts presented by the National Chinese Historic Museum. You can also see the heibayou (life-sized statues of soldiers and horses), bronze ware, and ceramic ware of national class. ●15 minutes by streetcar from Nagasaki Station.

Soufukuji Temple The Chinese in Nagasaki built this temple in 1629 after welcoming the Ming monk Chounen. This building implements many unique designs and uses bright and exotic colors. The Buddha and the interior decorations were made by Chinese craftsmen and reflect the culture of the late Ming dynasty. ●15 minutes by streetcar from Nagasaki Station.

Daikoku Market Three-storied wooden shops line this citizen's market. Once inside, the visitor will feel that he or she has traveled a hundred years back. Stop by this market when you visit Nagasaki.

Holland Slope In old Nagasaki, every Westerner was "Holland-san." This is why the steep hill where the expatriates used to live came to be called "the Holland slope," but this is not an official name. The stone-paved slopes of Nagasaki are beautiful and exotic, especially when it rains. ●13 minutes by streetcar from Nagasaki Station.
