10:00~18:00：Nagasaki(長崎)
1st stop is Chinzei Grand Shrine Suwa Shrine(鎮西大社諏訪神社). My original plan is Tateyama Park(立山公園) to watch sakura, through the Suwa Shrine by the way. Actually, this shrine is very important in Nagasaki, one of important Japan festival "Nagasaki Kunchi festival(長崎宮日節)" is in here. The other characteristics are pray for marriage and various koma-inu(狛犬) at each corner in this shrine.
Compared to Kazagashira Park(風頭公園) famous as Sakamoto Ryoma(坂本龍馬), Tateyama Park is the citizen park with fewer tourist. The distance on the map from Suwa Shrine to Tateyama Park is not long, but it's a very long and terrible uphill climb. Strongly recommend you take taxi next time. And recommend you don't walk into the park, walk along the periphery of the park then your photo will not be full of people.

In afternoon, we go to Meganbashi(眼鏡橋) and Glover Garden(哥拉巴公園).
It's said if you find the heart nearby the Meganbashi, you will get happiness. I can see the complete glass shape of the Meganbashi is happy enough, let others need more happiness to find it.
When you go to Glover Garden from Meganbashi, take a little more walk to the original Nagasaki castella store - Fukusaya(福砂屋). If you like the castella, you buy it in the free-tax shop at Fukuoka airport(福岡空港).
Glover Garden is a beautiful garden built by Thomas Blake Glover, it also provide lots of help and Asylum for public-spirited person in Meiji Restoration(明治維新的志士). You can overview the Nagasaki port here.
Recommend you get into Glover Garden from the station Ishibasi(石橋), then you can take the elevator to the garden entrance will walk downhill in the garden. The Ishibashi station is also the both star and end station.

 |
| The white building is Mitsubishi No.2 Dock House It's the most top of Glover Garden. |
 |
| Glover Garden is not famous as sakura. But in this season, sakura is also the most obviously flower. |
 |
| The cradleland of Western cuisine - Jiyu-tei(自由亭) Inside facility is old, but the coffee maker is not. Maybe they are even younger than me. |
 |
| The meal is not cheap, but not expensive overly. The castella is not from Fukusaya, not as good as it's price. But the peach mousse is amazing. And the cafe, I can only say that everyone has different tastes. |
 |
| Spending 1,500 yen in a comfortable and quiet place for breaking, I think it's worth. |
