Is December the right month?
The best month in Nagasaki is October (7.9/10), 3.7 pts higher than December.
Our verdict
Nagasaki, the 2nd city to suffer an atomic bombing on 9 August 1945 (74,000 deaths), keeps a singular history in Japan: the only port open to Europeans (Dutch and Portuguese) during the Edo isolation (1639-1854), Christian influence unique in Japan. October is my favorite month (8.2/10): 64-73°F, 27% rain, ideal temperatures before winter.

Hotels at their lowest outside peak season, highest on comfortable months. Shoulder seasons offer a good price/climate compromise.
