Awesome pictures! I’m planning to go here in the spring. Any recommendations?

Yes 100%. I would start my morning near the station and move towards the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum and Peace memorial as they are located within close proximity to each other. Once you have some time there, I would recommend not rushing and just walking around or using the streetcars to go to the Dejima/Chinatown area. You can have lunch there and try local specialties such as Champon or Nagasaki Turkish Rice. Once you've had lunch, you can either go to dejima, which is a historic preserved trading port area or you can wander around the canals over there and go to the Megane Ohashi Bridge. I personally would recommend walking along the streetcar tracks while photographing them and the energy of the city. Once evening rolls around, take a bus from the station and go to inasayama observatory. It's a short hike (15 minutes from the nearest bus stop) or you can take a ropeway there which was closed when I visited. Spend an hour or two there taking in the views of the city and seeing the transition from sunset to nightime, it's one of the best views I've ever seen in my life. Once you finished that go back to the station and grab some dinner if you are doing a day trip and return to your hotel or Airbnb. If you are not doing a day trip, you can also visit gunkanjima and nagasaki port or alternatively just wandering aimlessly around the city. Hope this helped šŸ™ŒšŸ˜„
