Live WHERE HISTORIES CROSS

"Nagasaki is a very good city for digital nomads. It reminds me a little bit of Bansko (Bulgaria). It's a place for the people who already set up their business, might have a family, they want to come here to get a nice house up on the hill and live. Nagasaki is beautiful, next to nature, affordable, friendly people, it has history, there are places to visit. The infrastructure is wonderful, it's a good place to live."

"I definitely recommend digital nomads to check out Nagasaki. There is rich history here, if you love hiking, it's a good thing, or if you like the sea, there are options available. And the internet speed is a lot faster here, I was pleasantly surprised by the connection speed. If I stay longer, I would stay in Mogi, it was peaceful and quiet, I love being by water. Nagasaki is "Peace" in multiple ways, that you'll find out.."

"Nagasaki is so beautiful! There is a lot of nature, beautiful scenery, and you can have a relaxing time. Focusing on work time, it's really possible, which is amazing! It has so much more history than what we know abroad. Up until I came here, I only knew Nagasaki was the second city where A bomb was dropped, but that's not all. That's only one of many things. That's not what it's all about. That I would learn about more."

"Nagasaki really means a lot to me, with friends I made as a digital nomad. They always greet me with such warmth, saying, "Welcome back!" whenever I visit. We share meals, stories, and I love every moment there. Walking its charming alleys, steep slopes, and seeing cats, it's all so charming. Nagasaki isn't just a place, it's an experience full of diverse culture and memories. Can't wait to head back soon!"

"Seeing Nagasaki, and any place in Japan, through the lens of people who live there is a unique experience. Nothing beats a true local perspective, stories, inside information of all the goodies that Nagasaki can offer. We thank our hosts and can't wait to visit again."

"Spending one month in Nagasaki truly felt like coming home. Coming from Lisbon, I was surprised by how familiar Nagasaki felt — the hills, the bridge, the atmosphere, and even the shared history between Portugal and Nagasaki made the experience even more meaningful. The city is diverse, welcoming, and authentic, and every day felt like a perfect mix of discovery and belonging."

"Being in Nagasaki completely changed my views on what it's like to live in Japan. The city moved at a pace that felt alive but allowed me to breathe, and its mix of Western influences and classic Japanese sensibilities has such a unique charm that I often found myself wandering side streets just to see what I'd find. The people of Nagasaki were so warm and welcoming that it's made me long to go back."

"Nagasaki was never on my radar, and now I think I will be trying to travel back regularly. The experiences we got to participate in are very hard to get into without knowing the right people, and I really felt a connection with the locals and the city itself. So far on my travels, Nagasaki has been one of the most rewarding experiences I have participated in."

"What made this experience truly special was the chance to connect with local people — as temporary neighbors. We got to hear their stories, witness their values in action, and feel the warmth of everyday life in Nagasaki. From shared meals to creative collaborations, every moment helped me understand Japan beyond the surface."

"The Nagasaki Nomads programme was one of the most inspiring professional experiences I've had in years — a rare mix of thoughtful cultural immersion, meaningful local connections, and genuine space to do focused work. I'm leaving with new ideas, new friends and a much deeper appreciation for Nagasaki."

"I never thought Japanese people could be so kind and friendly. I was really touched by the extent people went to to make me feel comfortable. The accommodations, food, caliber of speakers, and the level of local interaction were all outstanding — a beautiful, once in a lifetime experience."

"Making connections — and keeping those connections alive — was the highlight of this program. One moment that stayed with me was seeing how motivated the local people became about learning English so they could keep communicating with our nomad group even after the program ended."

"I was truly blown away by this program. We were able to connect with locals in a way I've never experienced in my travels before, and we built lifelong connections with fellow participants while working side-by-side in the fantastic coworking spaces Nagasaki has to offer. I can't wait to come back."
