A neighborhood with flavor & character
Shinchi Chinatown sits right next to Shianbashi, the busiest drinking district in Nagasaki. In a few minutes on foot you go from red Chinese gates to narrow lanes full of small bars, noodle shops, late-night ramen counters.
It is the easiest place in the city to eat well at night. Come hungry, walk slowly, follow the lanterns.
