Kyushu 2023 - Nagasaki Walking Back and Sushi Dinner

The walk back to our hotel from the pier area was very enjoyable. I mean, look at the view! And it wasn't crowded either. I especially love the flat grass area, pair it with the slopped villages and hills. I felt almost like I was in some western country. Maybe in Europe or the Alps! On our right side was the sea!

It was around sun set 5pm time or so by now, and the sea and sun was super hot.

All the boats docking at the pier area. Lovely breeze and blue skies!

Although there were giant seagulls and birds flying above our head, we were considered lucky to have nothing hitting us from above as we enjoyed our walk by the pier back to town.

The historical bridge. Since we have more time now, we could stop and read some of the signs. 

The whalf area above which I initially wanted to come for breakfast or lunch or even dinner. But it looked kinda deserted, and kinda expensive too. So we didn't eventually dine there at all.

We also walked passed some industrial amusement ground where you could go in for a visit. But it looked pretty deserted too, so we skipped that as well, lol. It was basically just old warehouse area for Nagasaki Port during the industry revolution. 

I think it was called Daijima? Which translate to Big Island? It was a man-made island if not mistaken. You could just cross the bridge to enter the area to take a look. 

The beautiful waterscape of Nagasaki. 

And sun setting.

My husband (with the help of Google) wanted to eat at a traditional Sushi Shop, so he lead us to this small shop in a nearby town on our way back.

We were the first customer, and was later joint by another foreign couple, and one Japanese salary man. I guess because the shop had good ratings in English in Google, hence it was visited more by foreigners. The staff tried to put up a show, but it was rather forced (in my opinion anyway). It was kinda sad, that they only have foreign customer, yet kinda glad that foreigners were keeping them in business. I had mixed feeling about visiting this place.

Our sushi order. We ordered one mixed sushi platter.

And one of sashimi. It was delicious, but not outstanding delicious. I wouldn't say it was that authentic an experience. But at least they have business to keep them going. Kyushu, especially outside of Fukuoka area, seems to be in a need of more tourism to keep them vibrant and going! Please visit these area when you consider your next trip to Japan.
