Wakaran Mixed Culture-NAGASAKI
As a major trading port, Nagasaki saw the flourishing of “Wakaran” culture, a mixture of Japanese, Chinese and Western cultures.
Tour the beautiful former home of the Glover family, the oldest wooden Western-style building in Japan.
At Ryotei Kagetsu, enjoy Nagasaki’s unique Shippoku Ryori, a hybrid cuisine with Japanese, Chinese and Western elements.
Each October, the city hosts the Nagasaki Kunchi festival. As a symbol of Wakaran culture, it is a nationally-recognized Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property.
The various city districts each prepare their own unique dashi float and dance through the streets twirling them in the air.
All the dashi come together at Suwa Shrine, the main festival venue, for a colorful and vibrant mass celebration.
