Location
History
Nagasaki Station is the terminus of the Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen and the Nagasaki Main Line, and the westernmost Shinkansen station in Japan. It opened on 5 April 1905 when the Kyushu Railway extended its line from the original Nagasaki Station (today's Urakami) to a new building closer to the city centre; the older terminus was renamed Urakami. Nationalisation came in 1907 and the route became the Nagasaki Main Line in 1909. The atomic bombing of 9 August 1945 burned the station; the 1949 third-generation building was succeeded in 2000 by a domed fourth-generation structure with Amu Plaza Nagasaki. The current elevated station opened on 28 March 2020, and the Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen began service on 23 September 2022.
Notes
Since the 23 September 2022 opening of the Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen, Nagasaki has been the westernmost high-speed-rail terminus in Japan.
