Dejima Wharf
A short walk from the Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum is the Dejima Wharf, a harbourside promenade best known for its assortment of indoor-outdoor restaurants, souvenir shops, art galleries, bars, and cafés. While the commercial complex features diverse cuisines—all of which combine the flavours of the world—one thing you must not miss is the fresh seafood available at relatively low price points. After all, Nagasaki is known to have the second-largest fish catch in all of Japan.
After exploring the nearby historical and cultural landmarks, you will be welcomed by the laidback atmosphere of this multipurpose seaside facility. Spend a few moments resting on the makeshift seating blocks that line the pier, as you take in the view of parked yachts in the harbour. The evening scene is an alternate definition of picturesque, especially during winter, when the entire wharf area is illuminated along with the ships, and occasional live bands can be heard playing in the background.
