Nagasaki's Little Netherlands, Hollandsaka

📍Japan Nagasaki, Orandazaka

Orandazaka is a Dutch-style street near Gassui Women's University. Inside the blue-colored Higashiyamate, they sell tea and cake. There are decorations everywhere in Orandazaka, and whenever the wind blows, a refreshing sound resonates.
As it is an old European-style building, the traces of time remain intact.
Oranda is the Japanese word for 'Netherlands', but since the Dutch settled in Nagasaki, and the Portuguese and British settled there, they called them 'Oranda-san', so it can be said that Orandazaka is a place where many Europeans, including the Dutch, lived :)
