All Reviews of Oranda-zaka

Oranda-zaka is located in the Higashiyamate area and consists of stone-paved slopes from the foreign settlement that existed from the final years of the Edo period through the Meiji era. At the time, people in Nagasaki referred to all Westerners as “Dutch,” which is how the slopes got their name. Several classical Western-style buildings and vintage brick walls remain along both sides, creating a distinctly romantic foreign atmosphere. It's a great place for a stroll and photos, and can be visited together with Glover Garden.

During the Edo period, Nagasaki was only open to the Dutch and Chinese. This area used to be where foreigners lived, and there are lots of beautiful Western-style buildings on both sides.

The name sounds really European, but walking here doesn't quite feel that way...
