Attractions and Features
This stone-paved road was built in the Edo period in the Higashi Yamate district of Nagasaki City center. Oranda-zaka, also known as the Dutch Slope or Hollander Slope, is called so because the person who Netherlands living in the Dejima lived around the slope.
It is called the Oranda-zaka collectively the slope in front of the hill in which it is closest to the train street, the hill under the Ksussui Gakuin, and jyo-ko-in Temple.
The top picture was sandwiched between those slopes. When I think that the road where the pavement was paved at that Edo period, the wagon and the car go back and forth now, I feel something very quaint.
