Trip Summary
After a long Shinkansen transfer from Kyoto, we still wished to stretch our legs a little and thus decided to visit the former island of Dejima before going to bed. Waling south from the main railway station in Nagasaki, we quickly approached Dejima from the northwest. Even though we had read about it up front, we still were surprised to experience, how small this exclusive trading post in fact was. Going there in the evening had the advantage that we basically had the site for us and we therefore could take a good chunk of time to walk all around it and experience it closely.
