About Higashiyamate
Where to stay in Higashiyamate
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Booking in Higashiyamate turns on one question: the quarter's own Higashi-Yamate No. 12 Building, or the wider museum list that runs from Glover Garden to the Nagasaki Museum of History and Culture. The quarter is small. Nagasaki holds the beds, and since the filed sites are spread across the city rather than gathered on one street, a central room serves the whole list about as well as any address inside Higashiyamate.

About Higashiyamate
What are the main landmarks in Higashiyamate?
The register filed against Higashiyamate is long, and most of it is museum ground. The Higashi-Yamate No. 12 Building carries the quarter's own name. Glover Garden, the Former Hongkong and Shanghai Bank Nagasaki Branch and the Dejima Museum are filed alongside it, and the list runs on through the Siebold Memorial Museum, the Nagasaki Museum of History and Culture and the Twenty-Six Martyrs Museum and Monument.
Not all of them stand in the quarter itself.
What is the history of Higashiyamate?
Higashiyamate's beginning is nowhere dated. What the entry holds instead is a run of museums and former offices filed with the quarter: the Former Hongkong and Shanghai Bank Nagasaki Branch, the Kameyama Shachū Memorial Museum, and the Twenty-Six Martyrs Museum and Monument, each carrying a chapter of the story Nagasaki is read through. The quarter's own name survives on a numbered building.
That is the whole account the record gives of how Higashiyamate began.
Where is Higashiyamate?
Higashiyamate holds no filed area or boundary. Its ground is recorded as part of Nagasaki, one named quarter among the many the city is divided into.
