Throughout its history, Nagasaki has been known for its foreign trade and international exchange, being one of the first ports to open to foreign trade in Japan and the only one allowed by the Tokugawa Shogunate to receive foreign vessels and cargo. The city has since grown into a popular tourist destination and continues to host cruise line traffic.
