Under sakoku, Japan has been closed to foreign trade and travel. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Consider traveling to a different era in Japanese history.

Who IS allowed in?

  • Chinese merchants
  • Korean merchants
  • Dutch merchants

IF you are Chinese, Korean, or Dutch you can come to trade one of our small islands. But you will not be allowed on the mainland.

This is Dejima, an artifical island off the coast of Nagasaki where we allow foreign traders.
