Nagasaki (長崎, Nagasaki; Japanese pronunciation: [na.ɡaꜜ.sa.kʲi, na.ŋa-],[2] lit. 'Long Cape'), officially Nagasaki City (長崎市, Nagasaki-shi; [na.ɡa.sa.kʲi̥ꜜ.ɕi, na.ɡa.saꜜ.kʲi̥.ɕi, na.ŋa-][2]), is the capital and the largest city of Nagasaki Prefecture on the island of Kyushu in Japan.[3]
Founded by the Portuguese,[4] the port of Nagasaki became the sole port used for trade with the Portuguese and Dutch during the 16th through 19th centuries.[5] The Hidden Christian Sites in the Nagasaki Region have been recognized and included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list.[6][7] Part of Nagasaki was home to a major Imperial Japanese Navy base during the First Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War. Near the end of World War II, the American atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki made Nagasaki the second city in the world to experience a nuclear attack.[8][9] The city was rebuilt.[10]
As of February 1, 2024, Nagasaki has an estimated population of 392,281,[1] and a population density of 966 people per km2. The total area is 405.86 km2 (156.70 sq mi).[11]
