Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Nagasaki City
For most travelers, Nagasaki Airport (NGS) is the most practical choice. It is the only airport located in the same city as the destination, making it the clear winner for efficiency and convenience; its airport limousine bus is the recommended transport mode for those heading downtown. Fukuoka Airport (FUK) is a major international gateway serving the neighboring city of Fukuoka, which is significantly farther away; however, it remains a common alternative due to its extensive flight network and the speed of the Nishi-Kyushu Shinkansen connection from Hakata. The other options are not located in Nagasaki City at all. Fukue Airport (FUJ) serves the Goto Islands, requiring travel by boat to reach Nagasaki City. Yamaguchi Ube Airport (UBJ) and Miyazaki Bougainvillea Airport (KMI) are located in neighboring cities and require long-distance rail or bus journeys. Choose NGS for proximity, FUK for flight connectivity, and only consider the others if local travel plans specifically dictate a stop in those prefectures.

Great value for money! We took the highway bus from Hakata to Nagasaki, which took 2 and a half hours. After getting off, it was just across the main road and over a pedestrian bridge to reach the hotel.
The hotel's location is super convenient for public transport, and it's especially easy to get to the JR station for meals.
The room itself is quite spacious, the shower pressure is excellent, and it's quiet for sleeping.FromUS$46

The room was a bit small, similar to a Toyoko Inn. The rooftop hot spring was quite good, but the best part was the wide variety of ice cream. The noodles at night were also delicious and you could eat as many bowls as you wanted. Five-star rating!FromUS$49

The hotel interior is amazing. The room was quite spacious. However, I noticed a problem with a lack of proper cleaning (there were dust and hair of other people left when I checked in) and good air conditioning (a very high humidity in the room). The rest was great, I enjoyed my stay.FromUS$23

🛌 The room is spacious and clean, offering all the necessary amenities, including a microwave. The bathroom is exceptionally large. Also, all the lights are conveniently controlled by remote.
🏞️ The hotel is situated on a narrow street just off the main road. The location is ideal, with Peace Park Nagasaki and the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum within walking distance. A short walk to the tram station provides easy access to other attractions. A Lawson convenience store is just 200 meters away. Though the area is a bit dim at night, it remains safe for walking.
🚙 Parking is available for 1,500 Yen per night. While it might seem a bit high, but nearby parking options are limited. Additionally, the receptionist speaks English, which is very convenient for foreign tourists.FromUS$50

A beautiful hotel! From the room you can see a great view of the city and the room itself is just beautiful. If you are in Nagasaki, I definitely recommend taking the room here.
The only advice I want to give is to drive by car/taxi/bus, but don't walk to the hotel! Yes, the Google Cards will show that the path is short and only a couple-three stairs. But it is not, I have experienced it on myself)FromUS$50

Staying at Hotel Indigo Nagasaki Glover Street was a highlight of our trip to Nagasaki. The hotel is beautifully designed with a distinct British colonial character that fits perfectly into the historic Glover Garden neighbourhood — stepping outside, you’re just moments from Oura Cathedral and some of Nagasaki’s most iconic sights.
The rooms are immaculate, stylishly appointed, and the bathrobes were a lovely touch after a day of sightseeing.
Breakfast at Restaurant Cathedréclat — set inside what feels like a converted chapel — was a real experience in itself, with a tasty Japanese option that was genuinely delicious.
The staff deserve a special mention: attentive, professional, and genuinely warm. Service was flawless from check-in to check-out.
The only minor thing I’d flag — and it really is minor — is that the pillows are on the thin and soft side, which might not suit everyone who prefers a bit more support. A firmer pillow option would make this hotel absolutely perfect.FromUS$166

Stayed one night in this hotel, the interior is new and clean. The mini self service cafe at the reception is very welcoming, they even provide take away cup for guests to bring the coffee/tea to the room, I find this is a thoughtful gesture.
This hotel has good variety of amenities, the room is compact and functional, good for solo travelers. There is a microwave in the room to heat up the food, and humidifier at the common area if you ever needed one. I personally like the public bath a lot, especially the outdoor pool. The room has the body wash and shampoo, other toiletries can be self service from the reception.
Not forget about the location, just a stone throw away from 2 tram stations, basically you could travel around Nagasaki from these 2 tram stations.
One thing worth mentioning is, the bus no 5 that goes to Inasa-yama park cable care and slope care station, is just few minutes from the hotel, which is a pleasant surprise and saves me a lot of time when I was trying to find my way to the park.
Overall, I had a pleasant stay in this hotel, highly recommend it!FromUS$36

The hotel has a excellent location just next to the JR Station. When I was staying in rainy day, umbrella was not required. I was easily access to the shopping mall and restaurants.
The guest room is big and cozy with Walk-in closet. The room open design is very convenient especially for sole traveller.
If you arrive arounf lunch, please don't miss to have lunch at the restaurant Harbella which offer delicious lunch with spectacular view over the harbout.FromUS$141

The location is a bit off the beaten path, making it ideal for self-driving tourists. Due to its proximity to nature, you might occasionally encounter a few insects in the rooms, but the hotel is generally clean and well-maintained. It boasts a wide array of recreational facilities, along with services such as restaurants, hot springs, and massages. The pricing is reasonable, offering good value for money, so you can easily spend a full and enjoyable vacation without leaving the hotel. I highly recommend it for families looking for a relaxing getaway!FromUS$135

The hotel is situated on a mountain, making it a bit difficult to access. While a shuttle service is provided, it's quite infrequent. I chose the breakfast and dinner buffet package; the food was mediocre and certainly not made with premium ingredients. The hotel's interior feels dated and could use an update. On the plus side, the staff were very friendly and offered excellent service. For the men's communal bath, you have to take an elevator to the 2nd floor and then descend two flights of stairs, which isn't very convenient for elderly guests. Furthermore, the main public bath uses regular tap water, not natural hot spring water. I booked a city view room, and the Nagasaki cityscape was absolutely breathtaking. A heads-up: the shuttle bus carries the name of a sister hotel, so be mindful of that. The pick-up location is West Exit W2.FromUS$41
