Nagasaki, Japan
Confucius Shrine and Historical Museum of China (孔子廟)

Pay homage to one of the great thinkers in history!

The Confucius Shrine and Historical Museum of China in Nagasaki is the only one constructed outside of China with Chinese labour - even the grounds upon which this incredible homage stands upon is managed and controlled by the Chinese Embassy in Japan. Beautiful, ornate buildings in traditional Chinese-styled architecture greet visitors, along with the 72 sages that were Confucius’ disciples, sculptured in life-size. If that doesn’t impress you, head within the temple’s walls - the main hall has been around since the conception of this building, and the museum contains a series of precious artefacts directly on loan from China! Visit the Shrine and Museum, and immerse yourself in this interesting cultural experience, and appreciate the 90 years of ongoing friendship between the two Asian countries.
