Japanese insight

  • The "Floating" Buffer Zone: Fan-shaped island built to trade with the world while keeping foreign influence at bay.

  • Originally built to segregate and contain the Portuguese, this fan-shaped island later became the Dutch trading post, the only gateway connecting Japan to Europe for over two centuries.

  • 1hr for quick check but 2hr to know in detail. Samurai walking around too!
