The most common way to get there is to take a bus from Nagasaki Station to Futosan, then walk from the bus stop. However, it's quite a steep climb, so a taxi is recommended if you're not feeling up to a challenging walk. Show route

The Ryoma-dori Stele is a monument to Sakamoto Ryoma located in Nagasaki's Futosan Park. Ryoma-dori, the path leading to the park, is a cobblestone street where Ryoma once walked, preserving the atmosphere of that era. The stele sits atop Ryoma-dori, offering panoramic views of Nagasaki harbor and the city. This was a frequently used route for Ryoma during his time in Nagasaki, and the stele was erected to commemorate his achievements. Nearby, you'll find other Ryoma-related spots like a statue of Ryoma and a statue of his boots, making it a paradise for Ryoma fans. While walking along Ryoma-dori, try to imagine Ryoma's feelings back then, and take your time enjoying the stroll. The cityscape viewed from the stele is majestic and beautiful, leaving an unforgettable impression.
