  • Le secteur étranger de Nagasaki, parfois appelé secteur étranger d'Oura, est une zone où s'installent les étrangers tandis que le Japon ouvre ses portes au commerce occidental. La zone est établie par les traités entre l'Occident et le Japon dans la seconde moitié des années 1850 et demeure un centre important de la vie occidentale au Japon jusqu'au début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Ce secteur est témoin de nombreuses premières pour le Japon, dont la première utilisation du télégraphe international ainsi que la première utilisation d'une locomotive à vapeur, la Iron Duke, sur une courte voie dans le quartier Oura.
