About Nagasaki Prefecture
Nagasaki Prefecture, on the west coast of Japan's Kyushu Island, is known for volcanoes, forested offshore islands and hot-spring spas. The capital city, Nagasaki, was partly destroyed by atomic bomb in 1945, an event commemorated by its Peace Park and Atomic Bomb Museum. The city's missionary past is reflected in its 19th-century churches and Twenty-Six Martyrs Memorial, honoring 16th-century canonized martyrs.
