Isahaya, the hidden gem of Nagasaki, is located in the southern half of the prefecture. Our city is made up of six unique towns and is known for its Megane-bashi (Spectacles Bridge), the Nonnoko dance festival, and adorable fruit-shaped bus stops! The locals will tell you that we have the best mikan (seedless mandarin oranges), the best onions, the best rice, and the best sake in Japan! Yes, we’re bold like that.
There are mountains to hike, waterfalls to chase, beaches to conquer, and a few local hot springs. Not a nature person? No problem! Enjoy the bowling alley, soccer stadium, batting cage, or the many karaoke lounges around town.
Isahaya’s central location and transportation system makes weekend traveling very convenient. Hop over to Nagasaki for shopping and movies. Skip to Omura for domestic and international flights. Jump to Fukuoka for a taste of the largest city in Kyushu.
For more information on events, tourism, and city specific rules and practices on topics such as disaster prevention and evacuation etc., please visit Isahaya’s local website:
The Isahaya City Logo represents the original six cities that joined into one. The green is for the mountains and rice paddies; the blue symbolizes the three bodies of water that surround our city.
