常駐している人が居ないので勝手に入っていいものか少々悩みましたが、問題ないようです。西海市大瀬戸方面の歴史や先人の営みが学べる施設ですが、動線が曖昧です。展示物も説明のボードが上下逆さまだったり、大瀬戸の歴史関連の資料を見ていたら急に石の話になる。ちぐはぐ感は否めないと感じます。しかし家船(えぶね)に関しては非常に興味深いものでした。実物大を実際に見てみたいと思わせる展示物でした。

Nagasaki Areas

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.
