Nagasaki is a historic city on Japan's western coast, and is known for its role in World War II and its beautiful harbor views.

Japan's victory over Russia in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905 was the first time an Asian power had defeated a European power in a modern war.

The Japanese are known for their love of vending machines, which can be found on nearly every street corner and sell everything from snacks to underwear.
