Tojin yashiki 唐人屋敷 is a forgotten place in Nagasaki. Most people will visit Christian churches and western gardens and enjoy the city as an opening window to Western culture. People rarely think about the Chinese residents who used to live in a fenced quarter called Tojin yashiki. Its gate is now moved to Kofukuji.
