1- Eating Strawberry. These special Nagasaki Strawberries are called yumenoka and the name is coming from the desire to make people’s dreams come true.
These strawberries are huge, juicy and have a sharp flavor.

3- Visit the Mackerel Rotten Stone. I learn this from a local so this one doesn’t known much between tourists. Locals visit the Fish Rotten Stone before taking an important exam. If I am not mistaken high school students visit a lot. It’s a symbol of waiting and seeing what you are cable of but my source also mentioned this: “do it till you succeed”. 
The name of the stone comes from here;  A long time ago, a fisherman from Togitsu Beach caught a lot of mackerels and decided to go to Nagasaki to sell them. When the fisherman was about to pass under this stone, he thought the rock might fall so he decided to wait until it falls, but he waited so long that the mackerels began to rot.
But don’t worry it won’t fall because some time ago, for security reasons they stuck it with a hard material.
Interesting story, interesting symbol, right?...


4-Buy Maneki Neko. Like in any city in Japan, also in Nagasaki Maneki Neko is an important symbol of luck and fortune.

5- Eat Momo Castella.  It’s a peach shaped version of castella sponge cakes and reflects the Chinese belief that peaches brings good luck.
