It is also adjacent to the prefecturally-designated historic site ""Hisagozuka Kofun (ancient tomb)"" and the Higashisonogi Town Folk History Museum."

    道の駅としては中規模。農産物コーナーは地のものも多く陳列されてました。土産品でここぞという商品はお茶ぐらいな印象、これ以外は近隣の道の駅・土産品店で入手出来そうなものだらけという感じです。 ここでしか入手できないというような商品の出現を期待したい道の駅でした(空港内の土産品店よりはここで購入した方が良いとは思いました)

    "The park adjacent to ""Roadside Station Mizunashi Honjin"" preserves and exhibits houses that were damaged by the mudslide caused by the eruption of Mount Unzen Fugendake in 1992. 11 houses, both outdoors and in large tents, were buried under an average of 2.8 m, showing the severity of the disaster."

    道の駅「みずなし本陣ふかえ」が閉館していたことは知っていましたが。まさかこの土石流被災家屋保存公園も閉鎖(令和4年12月1日-令和5年3月14日)していたとは知りませんでした。従って、避難時に使われた消防車だけ写真に収めて撤収しました。ここから普賢岳がはっきりと見えるのが良かった点です。

    赤いレンガでできた天主堂です。五島で多くの教会を建てられた鉄川与助さんによる竣工です。このレンガを運んだのは女性とのことで、大変だったと思います。形の整った天主堂だと感じました。レンガの色と上に設置されている十字架の調和がとれているように感じます。この日は12時の鐘と、12時3分の鐘の音を聞けました。

    6年ぶりに再訪しました。朝の一番湯で小地獄温泉館を満喫しました。熱め44.5度と42度弱の二つの浴槽が並んでいます。温泉は少し緑ががった白濁の硫黄泉です。硫黄臭を感じ口に含むと少し甘味を感じました。熱めの体に効くとてもイイ湯でした。浴後は汗がひきませんでした。雲仙岳の恵みの良温泉です。休み処では飲食はできないようです。

    A venerable Buddhist temple founded by a Tang dynasty Chinese priest and one of the Four Nagasaki Temples of Good Fortune. Prior to World War II, it was designated a Special Protection Building (equivalent to today’s National Treasure designation), but the original building was lost due to the atomic bombing. Thereafter, the temple’s great statue of Kannon was built in prayer for the happiness in the next life of those who died from the bombing as well as in the war. The Sakura-machi stop on the tramway is the closes stop to the temple. A 10-minute walk from JR Nagasaki Station.

    Fukusaiji is one of several Chinese temples in Nagasaki. But it is quite unique unlike other temples. There is a big statue of Guanyin Buddha standing on the back of a turtle. But it doesn’t seem to...

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.
