Nagasaki Prefecture

Do
Ride a tram that shares the street with cars
Japan's trams, or streetcars, run down the middle of ordinary streets and stop at small platforms among shops and homes, so the ride shows you a city at street level. Buy a one-day pass, get off wherever something catches your eye, walk a little, and catch the next tram. Apart from the line in Tokyo, these are in cities you would visit on a longer trip, such as Hiroshima, Nagasaki or Hakodate.
Do
Lose track of time reading by the sea
These are everyday public libraries in seaside towns, with big windows and reading seats that look straight out at the water. Read a few pages, look up at the waves, and read on. They are far from Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, so they suit a quiet stop on a longer trip, and visitors are welcome to sit and read inside.
Do
Look down on the town from a hilltop cafe
In Japan's hillside port towns, some cafes and viewing rooms sit high above the streets, and from their windows the rooftops, harbor and sea spread out below you. Order a drink or a sweet, sit back and let the view be the main event. All of these are in western Japan, between Hiroshima and Nagasaki, so they fit best into a trip to that region.
