I am a huge history lover and I had a free afternoon so I walked to this museum. There are two floors with displays on the life and history of Amakusa. NONE of it is translated. It wasnt busy so...
雨が降ったら

こじんまりした民族資料館ですが、なんと入場料は無料です正直なところ、晴れた日は絶景を見た方が良いと思いますが雨が降った時にふらっと立ち寄るのもありあと思います
幅広い歴史

天草市役所の近くにあります。天草の他の博物館は天草・島原の乱、隠れキリシタンに関するものが多いですが、ここは地質学、陶磁器の話から、幅広く紹介しています。さらに無料ですね。
