    訪れた時は夕方で干潮のため遠浅の砂浜は潮が引いていました。これはこれで壮観でしたが朝方の満潮では砂浜いっぱいに海が溢れるようになっていると思います。満潮になると海のエメラルド色が増し美しいビーチを見せると思う。 遠くの山々と海のエメラルド色の対比が素晴らしい景観になっていると思いました。

Nagasaki Areas

around-area-map

This hidden corner of the country is rural Japan at its best, where underground activity is to thank for active volcanoes and bubbling natural hot springs along the Shimabara Peninsula as well as the crystal clear waters of the Goto Islands off the west coast. Less well known than Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park, Nagasaki commemorates its own past at the Nagasaki Peace Park, which sits alongside the charming Meganebashi stone bridge and a mix of religious buildings with beautiful architecture, such as the Zen Buddhist Sofukuji Temple, the Confucian Shrine, and the Oura Christian Church.
