The spirit of international influence extends beyond the city of Nagasaki, with the prefecture offering a standout dining destination in Villa del Nido, a tiny Michelin-starred Italian restaurant in the foothills of Mount Unzen. Chef Takafumi Yoshida, trained in Italy, transforms local seafood, vegetables and farm produce into an elegant multi-course meal, making it a must-visit for food lovers eager to taste the region while taking in its lush landscape.
