Nagasaki Prefecture Department of Transportation
The Nagasaki Prefecture Transportation Office ( Japanese 長崎 県 交通局 , Nagasaki-ken kōtsū-kyoku ) is a public transportation company in the Japanese prefecture of Nagasaki , which operates buses, mostly known as Nagasaki-ken'ei basu ( 長崎 県 営 バ ス , "from the Buses operated by Nagasaki Prefecture ”) or just ken'ei bus ( 県 営 バ ス , in the own transcription into Latin eg when the buses are labeled with a hyphen as KEN-EI BUS ). The head office of the Department of Transportation is located in Yachiyomachi, Nagasaki City, near Nagasaki Railway Station. Aside from Tokyo, where the Tokyo Prefecture Transport Authority has been operating since 1943, Nagasaki is the only Japanese prefecture that operates public transport itself; elsewhere these are mostly borne by the communities.

history
The history of the Tourist Office goes back to the 1930s, when the Unzen National Park (today: Unzen Amakusa National Park ) in Nagasaki was the first national park in Japan. A resolution of the prefecture parliament from the previous year following the Nagasaki-ken'ei jidōsha un'yu jimusho ( 長崎wurde entstand 自動 車 Beschluss 事務所 ) was set up in 1934 , which was created by purchasing the route rights from five private companies. In the same year regular connections were established between Nagasaki and Isahaya and to the Unzen. In 1945 the traffic office recorded severe damage from the atomic bombing, in 1947 it resumed several interrupted routes and reached roughly the pre-war level. Renamed several times in the 1940s, the Tourist Office has existed under its current name since 1963. In 2009, Nagasaki-ken'ō bus ( 長崎 県 央 バ ス ) was set up as a subsidiary in order to reduce costs - partial privatizations have been carried out by several tourist offices in Japan in recent decades, e. B. in the form of the Hato Bus in Tokyo Prefecture or the Yokohama kōtsū kaihatsu in the city of Yokohama.
