Shougetsudo

Founded in 1910, this long-established shop has been making its signature Yunohana Manju using the same method for generations. Today, wagashi known as “onsen manju” are sold at hot spring resorts across Japan, but Shougetsudo’s Yunohana Manju is said to be the original. Each bun is filled with elegantly sweet, smooth red bean paste and wrapped in a fluffy dough colored brown with brown sugar, inspired by the hue of Ikaho’s yunohana (hot spring mineral deposits).

The bun has a thin skin and a fragrant filling that isn’t overly sweet. Freshly made and served nice and warm.

There’s often a line, but it’s worth it.

It’s a great way to try a traditional flavor, and it also makes a solid souvenir. Highly recommended—definitely a must-try.

Kouri Island Station Sorahashi

Located right next to Kouri Bridge, also famous for its spectacular views, Kouri Island Station Sorahashi is built around the theme of creating a place where island residents, village residents, prefectural residents, and tourists can connect. Along with being a great viewpoint, its excellent location also means easy access to the beach.

The stuff they sell inside is pretty tourist-oriented—Okinawan souvenirs, snacks, and ice cream. Prices are what you’d expect at a sightseeing spot, but it’s still fine for picking up gifts.

If you’re hungry, it’s a good place to grab a quick bite, have a drink, and take a short break.

Kids will totally lose their minds here! At first, adults might think it's a bit childish, but in the end, they're the ones taking the most photos.

It was particularly embraced by students who came to Nagasaki from all over Japan to study medicine and Dutch studies.
