Nagasaki (Japanese: 長崎, Hepburn: Nagasaki) (IPA:[naɡaꜜsaki]; lit. "Long Cape"), officially known as Nagasaki City (長崎市, Nagasaki-shi), is the capital and the largest city of the Nagasaki Prefecture on the island of Kyushu in Japan.
Founded by the Portuguese,[2] the port of Nagasaki became the sole port used for trade with the Portuguese and Dutch during the 16th through 19th centuries. The Hidden Christian Sites in the Nagasaki Region have been recognized and included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. 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. The city was rebuilt.[3]
As of February 1, 2024[update], 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).[4]
