Hirado Castle and Hirado Dutch Trading Post

Hirado is a port town where Japan's first trade with Europe took place. From the castle tower of Hirado Castle, breathtaking views of the Hirado Strait unfold, and at the restored Hirado Dutch Trading Post, you can learn about the history of Japanese-Dutch exchange. The "Landscape with Temples and Churches" where temples and churches appear in the same view is a unique photo spot only found in Hirado. Nanban confections such as Kasutera sponge cake are also local specialties.
