The city that started opening its doors to the world
Go back in history
Gourmet food, camping spots in vehicles, etc.
I'll show you the way.
The port city
First
The town of Shimoda
Upon closer inspection, it is a metropolis.
It's surprisingly small.
History
Going back in time
Before the country opened its borders
Perry visited Japan several times.
When negotiating
My admired
John Manjiro is
To the American side
The possibility of providing favorable interpretation
Is suspected
The interpreter was at that time,
There was diplomacy around Nagasaki.
Through the Dutch and the Chinese
It is said to have happened
a Dutch person who understands English
Hire a Chinese person who understands Dutch.
America = Netherlands = China = Japan
Between China and Japan
Japanese to English translation

And so
In Japan, where whaling is active,
America wants oil.

Truly fascinating
An island nation that was isolated
For Japanese people

When I have my photo taken
To lose one's life
From here
People have started saying it.
Now that we've opened the country,
America and
Even though we became good friends
No way
In 100 years
To go to war
Anyone
I couldn't have imagined it...
Well, anyway
Japan's first
As expected of a port opened to foreign trade
Currently
with many foreign tourists
overflowing
Is that why?
Whatever you do
It's so expensive every time.
Well
To be at peace
It could be better, but...
Once upon a time
At this port
several black ships
Did it surge in?
After watching the museum video
When strolling around Shimoda
It makes the trip several times more enjoyable.
