For example, the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki or the day the Pacific War ended. These events marked Japan’s history, and many people passed away during the war. They are remembered and commemorated in Japan by holding ceremonies dedicated to peace or by having “Toro Nagashi” events. “Toro Nagashi” means making small paper lanterns with peace messages written and then floating them in the river. These are beautiful and moving ceremonies worth visiting while traveling in Japan in the summer.

November itinerary in Japan Day 1 (Nagasaki Day 1) (Monday, November 15th) Table of contents 1. Takashima 2. Saruku (Dejima, Megane-bashi, Daikoji Temple) 3. Sofukuji Temple   I went on a trip to Nagasaki and Fukuoka prefectures for 5 nights and 6 days from November 15th (Monday) to November 20th (Saturday). This time as well, I created the itinerary from prefectures with a large amount of fish and shellfish that will be in season in November. Nagasaki and Fukuoka prefectures were 2nd and 4th in the national ranking. In addition, I was able to eat many local dishes from Nagasaki and Fukuoka prefectures (selected by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries). In addition, for this trip as well, I sent luggage such as clothing to the accommodation in advance and carried out a “luggage-free trip” without carrying large luggage. “luggage-free trip” is easy while traveling, and it has also helped me to make effective use of my time. I sent the clothes I wore from my last accommodation to a laundry agency, so it was an easy trip without having to do the laundry.   1.
