    国道305号線沿いにあり、通りがかりに寄ってみました。展望台まで行っても一時間弱といったところ。西洋館は中まで見られます。展示は昔の地方の博物館というところですが、右近家の歴史が興味深いので、面白い。損保ジャパン寄贈の旗が道沿いにあり、「?」となるけど、見れば納得。
  • 国道305号線沿いに建物があります。

    国道305号線沿いに無料の駐車場と建物があります。ドライブの途中で立ち寄りました。駐車場には昔の千石船のような展示もありました。
  • なかなか良い

    国道305号線沿いに建物があります。付近は公園のような感じで、車を止めて散策が出来る感じです。海岸線沿いの駐車場には昔の千石船?の展示もあり、雰囲気を盛り上げています。展望台からの眺めも良く、近くに寄った際は立ち寄るのも良いかと思います。目印は北前船のモニュメントがある駐車場です。
