    事前予約が必要との事で、ネットで予約して行ったのですが、コロナ禍だったからか、誰のチェックも無く、ただただ勝手に外から見学して来ました。コロナ前は内部も見る事が出来たようですが、中は見られず残念でした。でも、予約は何だったのか?未だに分かりません。

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.
