It has been designated a nationally important cultural property.

    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。

    Nagasaki Goto-shi Ikedamachi 1-2

    お城は今は五島高校です。この高校に通ってる彼らにその意識があるかどうかはわからないが。学校を囲む塀は石垣で 元はお城。お堀を超えての通学 石垣の脇のランニング。とても贅沢な環境に思えるのだが 小学生はまだしも此処に通う高校生も 自然に見ず知らずの観光客に挨拶する姿を見て 何らかの影響があるのかなと思ったりもする。

The main temple complex straddles the islands of Iki, Tsushima, and the Goto Islands and is part of a Japan Heritage listing. The temple was also patronized by the Goto clan, whose members served as lords of the local domain for generations. When the temple was visited by the great monk Kukai in 806, he christened it the ""Myojoan,"" meaning ""Morning Star Hermitage,"" after seeing a star at dawn. The head temple of Shingon Buddhism on the Goto Islands, the temple is also believed to be the oldest one on the archipelago. The temple enshrines Buddhist statues and ritual implements dating to the Kamakura and Muromachi periods, including historically valuable items designated Important Cultural Properties."

    Nagasaki Goto-shi Bukeyashiki 2-1-20
    This museum faces the Nizo Yamamoto Art Museum on the Samurai Mansion Street a five-minute drive from Fukue Port. The museum was built on the grounds of the Fukue Samurai House, a city-designated Historic Site. The museum displays photos of the Samurai Mansion Street. From a Japanese style room in the museum, visitors can also view a garden created in the same style as the National Place of Scenic Beauty-designated Ishida Castle Goto Garden. In a cafe space, visitors can eat famous Goto dishes such as Goto udon noodles and kankoro mochi. The museum also holds activity classes such as pounding mochi rice cake and decorating traditional baramon kites. In addition, the museum rents electrically assisted bicycles, making it a great place to check out before exploring the island.

    基本、案内施設のような感じだろう。中に入るとガイドの方が話しかけてはくれたが、メインとなるものはとくにない様子で、展示も少しだけあるがこれというものでもない。松園邸の案内があるのでそれを少し見る程度だろうか。

    ホームページが世に出始めた頃、上五島の観光PRでこの教会を撮影し投稿しました。満潮時に水面に映る教会として、40年前に自分で売り出した教会です。 右側の司祭館は峰神父様の設計で大曽教会の司祭館と同じになっています。

    Nagasaki Minamimatsuura-gun Shinkamigoto Cho Kirifurusatogo 357

    福江島や上五島を巡った五島の中でも印象的な海の風景でした。桐教会というより桐教会周辺の海がエメラルド色に透き通り神秘的でした。 奈良尾のマルゲリータに泊まりレンタカーで１０分もかからない近くにあります。上五島をレンタカーで巡り桐教会には朝と夕方の二回訪れました。朝夕方どちらも穏やかで透き通った透明感のある海を見ることが出来ました。

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.
