I visited Nagasaki, which is globally known as being second city in the world to be targeted by an atomic bomb, after Hiroshima. That tragic event on August 9, 1945, left a permanent mark on the city’s identity in the eyes of the world.

But how is the city 80 years later? I took a train ride there from Sasebo to find out.

I stayed at the Nagasaki Marriott Hotel which is right next to Nagasaki Station. There's always plenty of hotel options next to the major train stations in Japan, and it makes it very convenient when travelling from city to city. There's usually a big mall as well, so it's a comfortable area to stay in, other than the crowds of commuters.

The Marriott Bonvoy 'Titanium Elite' status came in clutch, as I was upgraded from the most basic room to a corner suite, with a balcony looking out to Mount Inasa. Titanium isn't an easy status to reach, as it required 75 nights stay in Marriott brand hotels in a calendar year, but the benefits are worth it when you get really nice upgrades like this.

After stocking the hotel minibar with yer man's own munchies, I took a local tram down to Chinatown. The Shinchi Chinatown is the oldest Chinatown in Japan and has been there for over 400 years.

The famous food in the area is a noodles dish called Champon.

Nagasaki Champon is a hearty noodle dish made by stir-frying pork, seafood, and vegetables, then simmering them in a rich, milky pork and chicken bone broth, and pouring it all over thick, chewy noodles. It was created in the late 1800s to feed hungry Chinese students in Nagasaki and has since become the city’s signature comfort food.

Almost every restaurant in Chinatown sells Champon, but I specifically went to one that was recommended to me, called 'Kozanrochukagaishinkan' - an absolute mouthful a name, and their Champon was an absolute stomach-ful of noodles. It was a huge and delicious portion.

Nearby the Chinatown is the Hamanomachi Shopping Arcade, which is one of those long roof-covered shopping streets that every city in Japan seems to have. I did some souvenir shopping there, at the Donki shop, buying a badass Donkey Kong plushie, as well as Mario and friends.

By the time I walked back to my hotel I had worked up an appetite for dessert, and tried a famous local ice cream bar called Choco Monaka Jumbo. It's a huge wafter, stuffed with vanilla ice cream that has a crispy chocolate layer in the middle. Yum yum, it was really tasty but an absolutely huge portion.

The next day I visited the Atomic Bomb Museum that's been created to tell the story of the tragedy of 1945, as well as the aftermath in the decades that followed. There's also a monument that marks the very hypocenter of the blast, and a Peace Park which is a nice, quiet place to walk and reflect on what you saw in the museum.

After visiting that area I visited the nearby 7-Eleven to buy another Japanese sweet treat from the freezer section. This time I got an ice cream drink called Coolish, that was very sweet and creamy, and the perfect refreshment for an afternoon walking around in roasting hot weather.

I then took the ropeway, which is a cable car that goes to the top of Mount Inasa, which has one of the best nighttime views in all of Japan, or even the world. I decided not to stay at the observatory all the way until sunset, as I thought there would be a massive queue coming back, and the ropeway only has 1 car ever 15 minutes.

Instead I timed it right to enjoy the sunset while on the ropeway going back down, and I think I made a pretty good decision.

From there I went back to Chinatown for more munching. I tried Sara Udon which is like Champon but without soup. I was pretty full from the huge portion, but somehow still had room for a steamed Chinese pork bun further down the street.

And for dessert, yet another ice cream snack from the konbini. This time I tried a Mont Blanc bar, and yet again I thought it was delicious. They all are!
