Dutch Slope is located in Higashi Sante-cho, Nagasaki City, and is the former site of the foreigners’ residence, and the stone walls of the foreign embassies on the slope are covered with green vines.
In the old days, all Westerners were called “Dutch” in Nagasaki, so the slope where they lived naturally became the Dutch Slope. The streets and buildings of the foreigners in the old days are preserved in Dutch Slope, and the whole road is paved with stone slabs.
Old clothes are given out for free on the street, so if you need them, please take them home. It’s so simple to be environmentally conscious.
Very nice flowers, very nice street.
Dutch Slope is a very quiet street near the Oura Catholic Church. It was named Dutch Slope because many foreigners lived nearby when the gateway to Nagasaki was opened, and they would pass by this road during weekend services.
This road is very quiet and pleasant, with a lot of vegetation and flowers on both sides of the road and various small houses, making it very pleasant to stroll around.
