1. Shimabara PeninsulaShimabara Peninsula (島原半島) is east of Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture, Kyūshū, Japan. On its north-eastern tip stands Shimabara City. It was also the site of the Shimabara Rebellion, a 1637-1638 peasant revolt led by Christians. This further reinforced distrust of Christians and foreigners by Shogun Iemitsu and contributed to the 1639 decision to isolate Japan from the outside world.
