It had close exchanges with the Netherlands and China, and had a foreign residential area, Deshima [2 ]. Therefore, Nagasaki is deeply influenced by the West and has many European-style buildings.

As a result, Nagasaki is now the Japanese city with the highest proportion of Christian populations in Japan. The Catholic Church also has a separate archdiocese in Nagasaki [3]. Because of trade with China, many Chinese have lived here since the Edo period. Nagasaki Shinchi Chinatown is one of the three major Chinatowns in Japan.
