This artificial island in Nagasaki, at the very west end of Japan, was the only place Dutch traders were allowed to remain in the Edo Period. Currently, the island is full of reconstructions of important buildings, museums, etc. This is one of the most important historical sites in Japan in regard to its interaction with other nations.
