Dejima Front Gate

· nagasaki, · ★4.0

Dejima Front Gate marks the entrance to the historic fan-shaped island of Dejima in Nagasaki, Japan's only window to the Western world during over 200 years of isolation. This reconstructed gate serves as a portal to an open-air museum where Dutch traders once lived and conducted business from 1641 to 1859. Walking through this gate transports you back to the Edo period, where you can explore restored warehouses, merchant quarters, and exhibitions showcasing the unique cultural exchange between Japan and the Netherlands.
