Shimeiso Spring Garden (湧水庭園「四明荘」)
4.5
The Shinmachi neighborhood of Shimabara is also called the “City of Swimming Carp.” Some 1,000 tons of water gush out of the Shimeiso House pond daily, and carp swim elegantly in its waters. Come and enjoy watching the carp swimming amidst the transparent waters against the backdrop of the garden’s red pines and maples.

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.
