``Kameyama Shachu'' was ``Japan's first trading company'' and ``private navy,'' founded in 1865 by Ryoma Sakamoto and more than 20 of his comrades, with support from the Satsuma domain and the wealthy Nagasaki merchant Ozone family. Kameyama Shachu, which was both a trading company and a political organization, carried out activities aimed at overthrowing the Tokugawa shogunate, and also started trading firearms with Glover Company, and engaged in commercial activities such as distributing weapons to the clan, transporting supplies, and other activities. We also conducted navigation training.
The private house that was rented as a base for activities at the time was originally used as a residence for the craftsmen of ``Kameyama yaki'', so the place name ``Kameyama'' and ``Shachu'', which means companion, were combined to form ``Kameyama Shachu''. It was called. The dilapidated remains have been restored to a state close to their original state, and since 2009 they have been open to the public as the Nagasaki City Kameyama Shachu Memorial Hall.

Oranda Saka (behind New Tanda Hotel)
The stone-paved slopes of the Higashi-Yamate area, a remnant of a foreign settlement and filled with an exotic atmosphere
In Nagasaki, the only area of trade in Japan during the Edo period, non-Oriental people were still called "Dutch-san" even after the country was opened, perhaps due to the influence of the Dutch living in Dejima. For this reason, it is thought that at that time all slopes in foreign settlements were called Dutch slopes, meaning ``the slopes that Dutch people pass through''. Currently, the slopes below Katsusui Women's University, Katsumizuzaka, and the slope in front of Seikoin Temple are mainly called Oranda Slope.
Higashiyama Tekou Jusanbankan, a light blue Western-style building near the Oranda Saka stone monument, is a place where you can easily stop by and get in for free. This building was used as a residence for foreigners during the Meiji period, and you can see the interior and furnishings to see what it was like back then. There is also a cafe space, so why not take a break during your walk?
