A souvenir shopping zone right in front of the ticket gates at JR Nagasaki Station, with Approx. 50 shops offering famous sweets, local specialties, and regional gourmet foods. It was developed in March 2022 to coincide with the opening of the Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen, as a place worthy of Nagasaki’s gateway. Directly connected to JR Nagasaki Station, it is known for its outstanding convenience not only for tourists using the station, but also for local residents.
It is broadly divided into three areas: the “Souvenir Zone,” where specialty products and local goods from across Nagasaki Prefecture are gathered, including castella sponge cake, famous Nagasaki sweets, and seafood, the “Local Restaurant” area, where you can enjoy Nagasaki specialties such as champon, sara udon, and Goto udon, and “Kamome Yokocho,” where you can enjoy local sake and Nagasaki’s regional cuisine in a lively alley-style setting. Goods related to the Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen are also sold here.
You’ll also find limited-edition and collaboration items available only here, making it a great place to shop for Nagasaki souvenirs. Some shops also offer live demonstrations, so you can enjoy freshly made and freshly fried items on the spot.

After taking the stylish Relay Kamome from Hakata to the final stop, don’t miss Kamome Market, located right inside Nagasaki Station. It brings together all of Nagasaki’s local foods and souvenirs, satisfying both your taste buds and shopping cravings in one place.
As a fan of Nagasaki castella, this place is like a dream for treasure hunting. This time, I stocked up on castella from the long-established local shop Shooken, Fukusaya, which is well known among Taiwanese people, and the classic Bunmeido, then brought them back to my guesthouse to savor and compare. At Fukusaya, you can buy not only the classic flavor but also an exclusive package of small square boxes. They’re delicate, cute, and easy to carry, making them perfect souvenirs to bring back to Taiwan and share with friends and family. As for flavor, I especially liked the depth of Shooken’s castella. If you get a chance to visit Kamome Market, don’t miss it.
Whether you want one last food splurge before leaving or to carefully choose thoughtful local souvenirs, Nagasaki Kaido Kamome Market is definitely a perfect and essential stop on your itinerary.

The seafood was super fresh, and eating it on the spot was such a great experience. If you love seafood, you seriously won’t want to stop.
