[2025 Nagasaki Attraction] Travel Guide for Dejima (Updated Apr)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Dejima is a nationally designated historic site in Japan as the "Dejima and Dutch Merchant House Ruins". After entering the "Omotemon Gate", artifacts related to Dejima's history and life are displayed, allowing everyone to further understand the life of the Dutch on Dejima in the past. The Western culture introduced since ancient times has become a part of Nagasaki's history. The streets are still full of exotic atmosphere. The completed parts include the room of the head of the trading house (Kapitan Room), the room of the deputy head of the trading house (Heturu Room) which was originally the residence of the Dutch head of the trading house, the room of the otome (a management title), the kitchen, the warehouse, etc. Through these architectural displays, you can get a glimpse of the appearance at that time. There are also some cherry trees and Western-style buildings here. Even if you don’t like historical relics, it is a good place to check in.

Dejima was completed in 1636 as Japan's first artificial island, and was the only place where trade with the West took place during the period of national isolation. In Siebold's book "Japan," it is written that Tokugawa Iemitsu instructed that the fan-shaped shape be modeled after his own folding fan, and Nagasaki City is currently planning to restore it to its original appearance. 📌 6-1 Dejima-cho, Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture, 850-0862 📌 Ease of access ★★★★☆ Right next to the tram "Dejima Station" 📌 Popularity ★★★★★ #NagasakiTrip #Nagasaki #NagasakiPrefecture #NagasakiTourism #CoupleTrip

During the isolationist period, Dejima was the only gateway between Japan and Western Europe, and played a major role in the modernization of Japan. Currently, the buildings have been restored through restoration projects, and you can experience the streetscape of Dejima at that time. There are documents inside the restored buildings, so you can learn about what it was like at the time. There are many spots inside the building that make you want to take photos, as if you had traveled back in time! Take the streetcar (to Soufukuji) from JR Nagasaki Station for 5 minutes, get off at the "Dejima" tram stop, and walk for a short distance.

#Spring0yenTrip Dejima had a foreign atmosphere that quietly lingered in the middle of the town. When you pass through the gate, you feel as if the scenery of the Edo period is rising up in a space, which gives you a slightly strange feeling. Walking through the restored buildings, you get a real sense that Dutch merchants lived here, traded, and connected Japan with the world, and there was a realism that you can't get from a history textbook. Looking at the meticulously reproduced rooms, tools, and lifestyle of the time, you feel as if time has stopped here. It is a place packed with history unique to the port city of Nagasaki, and is a spot you should definitely visit if you visit Nagasaki.

During the 200 years of Japan's isolation period, Dejima was the only port in Japan open to foreign trade. In the 19th century, there were 49 buildings in Shimanouchi, including residences, restaurants, warehouses, and sentry posts. Among them, the restoration of ten buildings, including the "Kapitan Trading Company Director's Room", has been completed. The stone warehouses visited by Ryoma Sakamoto and others at the end of the shogunate and the precious Western-style rooms from the Meiji period are now open to the public. #ChristmasDestinations2024

From what I remember from my school textbooks, this is a historic place where the Tokugawa Shogunate detained Portuguese people here in Dejima to prevent the spread of Christianity. The current Dejima was built to recreate the Dejima of the early 19th century, and has stylish sliding doors that combine Japanese and Portuguese Western culture, and is so cute with modern patterns that it's hard to believe it was made in that era. Walking through the town of Dejima, I felt like I had traveled back in time, and I was able to stroll around imagining all sorts of things. #Dejima #NagasakiTourism #0YenTravelAutumn 🕰️Opening hours: 8:00-21:00 💰Price per person: 520 yen

The main attractions are accessible by tram, so it is most cost-effective to buy a one-day ticket, which only costs 600 yen for adults. #Atomic Bomb Museum In the morning, we took the train to the Atomic Bomb Museum station to visit the museum. The museum displays in detail the events from the dropping of the atomic bomb to its subsequent impact. The content is full of details and emotions that will make anyone who sees it tear up. The Atomic Bomb Museum is open from 08:30 to 17:30 and is a place worth visiting. #Nagasaki After visiting the museum, walk to Peace Park. There are also many elements related to the atomic bomb in Peace Park, such as the Peace Memorial Statue, whose right hand is pointing to the sky to represent the atomic bomb, and whose left hand is horizontal to pray for peace, and whose closed eyes are praying for the victims. This is a city with a sad history. After visiting these two places, I really hope there will be no more wars. Then take the tram to Spectacles Bridge Station to admire this ancient stone bridge. The arched bridge and its reflection on the water are connected to form the shape of glasses, and it is also an important cultural property. After visiting the Spectacle Bridge, you can walk for 13 minutes to Nagasaki Chinatown for lunch, or take the tram to Shinchi Chinatown Station. Famous foods include Champon noodles, Sara udon noodles, etc. In the afternoon, you can arrange to visit Glover Park and the artificial island. Glover Park is the former residence of Madame Butterfly and her husband Glover. It is an exotic park open from 08:00 to 18:00.

This artificial island, which can be reached in about 5 minutes by tram from Nagasaki Station, was built when Portuguese ships arrived in Nagasaki. It seems that one of the purposes of the island was to house Portuguese people in order to prevent the spread of Christianity. You can see exhibits about the lives of the people who lived there at the time, as well as the interior of a luxurious Western-style building. I think it's a good spot to learn about what it was like at the time. #Sakura2024 #Nagasaki #Dejima

Japan once had a closed country system, and only a few places were connected to the outside world. One of those bases was Dejima. After it finished its role, the surrounding area was reclaimed, and it is now located along the river in the city, but it was once an island. It is also the place where Nagasaki was connected to the outside world, and where many Western-style and Chinese-style buildings are scattered throughout the city. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we were only able to view the exterior, but it is possible to go inside. Please do visit. #DomesticTravel #NagasakiTrip #NagasakiTourism #Dejima

Visited in June 2023 *Dejima 6-1 Dejima-cho, Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture Dejima is an artificial island built by order of the Tokugawa Shogunate. It was completed in 1636 and for about 200 years, it played a major role in the modernization of Japan as the only window in Japan open to Western Europe.

#Western Japan Dejima

Out of the island's revetment, the river is taking us back to the Edo period Chinatown because there are so many people, we didn't go back for a long time and then returned to the original drop-off point, but found a beautiful place nearby - out of the island The revetment, this is what I imagined in Japan. The ancient buildings of the Edo period were lined up along the river, and they were so beautiful. The island on the map indicated by the above chart is the only window for Japan's external relations during a period of a fan-shaped artificial island in Nagasaki Port, and during the mid-17th century to the 19th century. Walking on the streets of the island, sometimes the feeling of light back. The sea around the island, and later because the urban transformation was filled, leaving only a curved river, it became what we saw. There are many European-style buildings left by the Dutch at the time. After reconstruction, the houses on the artificial islands were reopened to tourists, providing a good historical overview of the life of the 15th century Nagasaki people. The miniature model of the island is also displayed in the remains of the Dutch islands. The model is made by reducing the island before the reclamation in 1904 to one-fifth. The river is long, the white wall and black tile unique to the Edo period, with the distinctive mark of that era. Although this is a place that is easily overlooked, it does not prevent us from staying away from the crowd, stopping and walking here, enjoying the rare quiet and slow pace of this trip.
