Nagasaki wasn't really the hit - we only got there because our cruise ship was built by Mitsubishi - whose headquarters are located in Nagasaki. The town is small, looks like any German small town with Japanese letters. The only remarkable experiences was a shopping mall, a little Udon Soup restaurant where you have to buy your meal per ticket first (yes like on the train) before you get served, and a huge and incredibly loud game hall with people like you and me playing on machines all day. The other Japanese town didn't seem to be a big sensation either. While Dirk cruised the city by himself, I decided to stay on board, in protest to the inefficient organization of the cruise team to let us passengers wait in queues during 3 hours for fingerprints with Japanese immigration. Well, Okinawa is not Tokyo nor Osaka, so it wasn't a big loss for me.
