We walked through the Nagasaki Seaside Park. This offers views of Dejima Harbour and incoming boats, plus open space for walking, jogging and picnics. The Japanese name for this park is a mouthful: mizubenomorikouen (長崎水辺の森公園). The Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum is also nearby.
We finally ended up in Nagasaki Dejima Wharf, which has a number of restaurants. We had champon for lunch at Ringer Hut, a chain of restaurants originated from Nagasaki and specialising in two Nagasaki dishes: champon (Chinese soupy noodles) and saraudon (Chinese style fried noodles). The name Ringer Hut supposedly is an amalgamation of Ringer House (now part of Glover Garden – a popular tourist attraction) and Pizza Hut. Ringer House was the residence of Frederick Ringer, a British merchant and founder of the Nagasaki Press. The lunch was absolutely delicious and filling.
