This is from the Okunchi festival, the main strip of activities and food stands was near the heart of the city, in front of a place called Yume-saito
These shots are from a place called Megane-Bashi, translated from Japanese it means “Glasses Bridge”. This is a very famous place in Nagasaki, it was the first bridge to be built in Japan that used the roman arch. It gets its namesake from its appearance, when the double arch is reflected in the river they say it looks like a pair of glasses
These images are from Koshi-Byo. It is the only Chinese Buddhist temple outside of China that was built by Chinese hands.
