Nagasaki Prefecture, Administrative prefecture in Kyushu, Japan

Nagasaki Prefecture spans multiple peninsulas around Omura Bay and includes numerous islands including Tsushima, Iki, and the Goto archipelago, covering 4,130 square kilometers.

The prefecture served as the sole gateway for international trade during Japan's isolation period, maintaining connections with Dutch and Chinese merchants through Dejima port.

The region features numerous churches and religious sites reflecting the legacy of hidden Christian communities who practiced their faith secretly during the national ban.

The prefecture connects through an extensive network of railways, expressways, and ferry services, making travel between its mainland and island territories accessible.

Natural parks constitute 18 percent of the prefecture's territory, including Saikai National Park and Unzen-Amakusa National Park with their geological formations.
