Dejima (Site of the Dejima Dutch Trading Post)

When the Edo shogunate imposed a policy of national isolation, Dejima became the only window for trade with the West in the nation. The Dutch trading post was moved here from Hirado in 1641. Thereafter, economic and cultural exchange between Japan and Europe took place here for the next 218 years, contributing greatly to the modernization of Japan. After the trading post was closed, the area around the island was filled in and reclaimed; today, however, a project is underway to restore the island to its historic appearance, providing visitors with a glimpse of how it once looked.
