Dutch Slope

A lovely area that was inhabited by westerners after Nagasaki became one of three ports open to several western countries in the late 1850s. There is a western style home there as well, which has free entry.

During the Foreign Settlement Era in Nagasaki (spanning late Edo - Meiji Period), Western residents of Nagasaki were known as "Dutchmen" regardless of their country of origin. Since many Westerners settled in the Higashi-yamate neighborhood, this slope was named Oranda Zaka, i.e. Hollander (Dutch) Slope.

Wonderful part of Nagasaki to visit. One minute you see a typical Japanese a street and then it's Dutch. Fabulous

Nice walk to see Dutch inspired architecture. Quick afternoon trip to this area

There were too many people, but it's very comfortable to see around. Good enough to be recommended.

Just a neighborhood hill, with some older homes.

Nice walk and beautiful place to take a picture.

It's a steep road that you'll share with cars. Old homes are interesting but the views and cherry blossoms make it worth the hike up.
