Many foreigners, such as Siebold and Glover, were active in Nagasaki. Many great men such as Ryoma Sakamoto were drawn to Nagasaki by its charms.

Highlights of this course

• (1) Megane Bridge

  

  The first double-arched stone bridge in Japan, built over the Nakajima River by Zenji Mokuko Nyosei, the second head priest of Kofukuji Temple. Although the bridge was partially destroyed by the flood that hit Nagasaki in 1982, it has been restored and is a favorite recreational spot for citizens along with the park. Please also see the information board describing the origin of the bridge.

• (2) Ruins of Dejima Japanese and Dutch Trading Post

  

  Dejima was a small fan-shaped artificial island with an area of 13,000 m2 built in 1636 by the Edo Shogunate, which was concerned about the spread of Christianity, to isolate Portuguese people. Today, visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the Nakajima River, where there is a museum and a miniature Dejima.

• Holland Slope (from car window)

  

  At the time of the opening of the port, Westerners in Nagasaki were called "Holland-san" and all the stone-paved slopes in the foreign settlement area were called "Holland Slope". Each of the cobblestone slopes in Higashiyamate and Minamiyamate has its own expression and can be enjoyed, but the slope in front of Kassui Women's College is particularly famous for its exotic atmosphere.

  This Tenshudo was built in 1864 to honor the spirits of 26 saints, the first martyrs in Japan, and is officially called the "Martyrs' Cathedral of the 26 Saints of Japan. It is the oldest existing wooden Gothic-style church in Japan and was designated as a national treasure in 1933.
