Mietsu Naval Dock

During the days when Nagasaki served as the only port open to the outside world, the Saga Domain owned and was in charge of protecting the port. With that, they were the only domain that received information from and about other countries, including discoveries and advancements in science and techno

logy. The naval docks were established in Saga to begin producing Western-style ships and forming Japan's first Western-style navy. The dock here was an important part of Japan's modernization on the shipbuilding and naval front and is inscribed as one of the World Heritage Sites that make up the Sites of Japan's Meiji Industrial Revolution.
