Site of the Former Dutch Trading Post on Dejima

Site of the Former Dutch Trading Post on Dejima is a fascinating historical museum in Nagasaki that takes visitors back to a time when Japan was almost completely cut off from the outside world. This artificial island was the only place where trade with Europeans was allowed.

The reconstructed buildings, gardens and exhibits allow you to feel the atmosphere of a 17th-century trading post. Walking along the wooden piers and historic interiors, you can imagine the life of Dutch merchants and their Japanese associates.

This unique place is a living testament to a fascinating period in Japanese history.
