Oranda-zaka
The cobblestone slopes leading to western-style architecture that are unique to Nagasaki.
Among Nagasaki’s tourism sites, the Oranda-zaka (Hollander/Dutch Slope) is well known. It means the remaining cobblestone slope in the Yamate area where people from other countries lived.
While foreigners were living there, residents in Nagasaki called them “Oranda san (Hollander)” and the slopes these foreigners walked on were called the Hollander Slope. There were settlers from other countries as well, but it tells the nearly 300-years of trade with Holland has developed the close relationship between the people in Nagasaki and Holland.
The prominent Hollander Slopes are the one below Kwassui Women’s University, Kwassui Slope and the one in front of Joko-in Temple.
The slope below Kwassui Women’s University was opened while developing the settlement for foreigners. Going up the slope, you will see a Hollander Slope monument, followed by Kassui Slope where students tread on to the Kwassui Women’s University. The slope by Joko-in is a 15-degree steep slope from Ishibashi Station to Higashiyamate. Brick walls and western-style buildings line the Hollander Slope to let you enjoy Nagasaki’s exotic scenery.
