Volendam - Volendam (English spelling)

Japanese: フォーレンダム - ふぉーれんだむ(英語表記)Volendam
Volendam - Volendam (English spelling)

A fishing village in the western part of the Netherlands, in the province of Noord-Holland. Part of the Edam-Volendam municipality (population 27,687, 2001). Facing the IJsselmeer, it is a tourist destination known for its old-fashioned buildings and traditional costumes. A new waterway to Edam in the west was built in the mid-14th century, and the dam became the origin of the village. Traditional customs remain, with women wearing striped clothes and pointed hats, and men wearing black fisherman's uniforms and wooden shoes, and many artists have come to live here.
