explanation: Town where the office of Nagasaki Prefecture is situated. The population is 0.5 million. Nagasaki had owned the monopoly of commerce with foreign countries from the beginning of 17th to the end of 19th. Though its role of international commerce has diminished, other industries like shipyards, electric and metallurgy has developed. It is also a great base of fishing in East China Sea.
