Dejima Admission E-ticket in Nagasaki This is a place you definitely can't miss when sightseeing in Nagasaki.
Overview
Travel back in time to Dejima, a historic island built in 1636 has served as Japan’s only window to the Western world and it has played a vital role in Japan’s modernization for 218 years during the Sakoku (national isolation) period . In the Meiji era Dejima lost the original shape of the island due to the land reclamation. In 1951 Nagasaki City began restoration work and today 16 buildings and landscapes have been faithfully restored, offering visitors an immersive glimpse into this significant era.
