Hotel Monterey Nagasaki

I haven't had much to say about the hotel where I have stayed because, with the exception of the Buddhist temple, they have all been pretty generic.

Our hotel in Nagasaki is another exception. Hotel Monterey is an adorable little slice of Portugal in Japan. From their website:
Hotel Monterey Nagasaki, located close to the sea, emulates the atmosphere and decor reminiscent of the time when the sea-faring voyagers arrived from Portugal, in an ongoing connection with Nagasaki that dates back to 1543. We promise to deliver a cozy experience where guests can feel part of the story and history of Nagasaki, imagining they are part of a scene from many years ago where the alleyways were illuminated by the rays of the sun and chance encounters with foreign traders were commonplace. The walls are adorned with blue tiles, expertly painted by Portuguese craftsmen, providing a colorful atmosphere.

In the next city Fukuoka we are also staying at a Hotel Monterey, I am looking forward to seeing what that looks like!
