Check transport and opening times before visiting.

From the riverside pavement, include both stone arches and their reflections if the water is calm. Stay on the upper path when river levels are high or the lower route is closed.
Search Google MapsDejima Wharf
The waterfront decks at Dejima Wharf look across the harbour toward Mount Inasa. Use a railing as a foreground line and leave the route clear for other visitors.
