Dejima Museum

The iconic island of Dejima, which served as a Dutch trading post between 1641 and 1858 during the period of national isolation, is now an open-air museum with reconstructed warehouses and houses, allowing visitors to experience the lifestyle of the Dutch at that time.

Spectacle Bridge

This famous 400-year-old stone arch bridge is the first of its kind in Japan. It has nothing to do with the Dutch, but we happen to pass by it anyway.

Kotaiji Temple

A somewhat hidden temple, but one of the most beautiful in Nagasaki, with a special place in the cemetery for the daughter (and wife) of the famous VOC doctor and scientist Von Siebold.

Lunch / coffee break

With many nice cafes and restaurants in the area, this is a convenient place to take a break if needed.

Maruyama Neighborhood

Former pleasure district in the Edo period. One of the most interesting places in Nagasaki. It has an authentic Japanese atmosphere, beautiful houses, a special establishment that plays an important role in Japanese history, and a unique shrine with a surprising link to the Dutch that draws us there.

Nagasaki (Kojima) Yojosho Remains Museum

The site where Dutch ship's doctor Dr. Pompe van Meerdervoort founded Japan's first Western hospital and medical training center is now home to an obscure little museum in his honor that is definitely worth at least 10 minutes of your time.

Holland Slope

A beautiful street in the former international neighborhood with many unique houses, cafes, and an old photography museum. (Our hero Dr. Pompe van Meerdervoort also introduced photography to Japan.)
