Nagasaki is best known for being the last city that was subject to a nuclear bomb. It happened on 9 August 1945 during WWII when the Americans dropped it, destroying most of the city and killing and injuring over 100,000 people. What fewer people know is that Pucci's famous opera &quot;Madame Butterfly&quot; was set in the city. There is more to the city than just memorials and reminders of that event. It is a city that welcomed, and had long links, with the West even when Japan followed an isolation policy. I found it to be a pretty, welcoming city that has gorgeous parks, historical buildings and great museums. The podcast explores all of this.  Must-see and Must-Do covered in the podcast:  Atomic Bomb Museum. Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall. Atomic Bomb Hypocentre. Nagasaki Peace Park. One-legged Torii Gate. Mount Inasa Lookout. Glover Garden. Oura Catholic Church. Deijima. Kofukuji Temple. 25 Matyrs Memorial.
