    Nagasaki Nagasaki-shi Shiroyamamachi 23-1
    The cherry tree in the schoolyard of Shiroyama Elementary School in Shiroyama-cho, Nagasaki City is named after a female student who lost her life on August 9, 1945 when the U.S. atomic bomb was dropped on the school, which was the closest school to the hypocenter. Of the 50 saplings planted by the students' mothers as a memorial to the students and a wish for peace, six have now grown into large trees and bloom every year.

Nagasaki Areas

This hidden corner of the country is rural Japan at its best, where underground activity is to thank for active volcanoes and bubbling natural hot springs along the Shimabara Peninsula as well as the crystal clear waters of the Goto Islands off the west coast. Less well known than Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park, Nagasaki commemorates its own past at the Nagasaki Peace Park, which sits alongside the charming Meganebashi stone bridge and a mix of religious buildings with beautiful architecture, such as the Zen Buddhist Sofukuji Temple, the Confucian Shrine, and the Oura Christian Church.
