Amakusa in 5 days

If you only have 5 days to spend in Amakusa, we’ve narrowed down the top places you should check out to get the best experience of your time here.
Amakusa is a scenic island region known for its rugged coastline, clear blue seas, and views of island-studded bays crossed by the Amakusa Gokyo bridges. It has a distinctive history as a center of early Japanese Christianity, with churches, museums, and sites linked to hidden Christians and the Shimabara-Amakusa rebellion. Visitors come for dolphin-watching cruises, fresh seafood, and hot springs overlooking the ocean. The area also offers quiet beaches, coastal drives, and small fishing towns that showcase a slower-paced, rural side of Japan.
With favorites like Hojuen, Amakusa Christian Museum, and L'isola Terrace Amakusa, we’ll make sure you don’t miss out on all the must sees. We even included some of our favorite food spots around the area, like Daishugo and Saiwai Zushi so you can get the best taste of Amakusa while you’re here. To see our full list of food recommendations, check out our best restaurants post. If you're traveling on a budget, you can check out our cheap eats post.

Arguably the most おしゃれ restaurant in Amakusa. About a 45 minute drive from Hondo, I always make it a point to stop by when going to and fro from Kumamoto. The pizzas look great and there are a ton of desserts to choose from. They’ve got a pretty decent menu, but I always end up getting the garlic prawns. What I love the most is the environment though... such a chic area by the pier. I come here whenever I yearn for something that reminds me of the big city 😂

The Dolphin Watching cruise is amazing! The cruise will ensure you'll get a good view of the dolphins. The terrace itself, where you'll board the cruise, is ok. The view is nice, food is good but aside from that, there aren't much nearby. Although I haven't tried other activities like biking. Overall, it's a good place to visit.

Amakusa Pearl Garden & Sea Donut Aquarium is a newly opened complex tourist facility that offers a variety of attractions for families and couples. Visitors can explore the fashionable cafe "cafe do mar," souvenir shops, and enjoy the sea view for free. The aquarium features dolphin shows and participatory events, while children can have fun at the playground equipment. Although there are some concerns about floating garbage in the sea nearby, overall it's a trendy destination with something for everyone to enjoy.
My daughter really enjoyed this place.

(Translated by Google) We visited on a cloudy day on March 16, 2025! It would have been great if the weather had been sunny, but it was chilly and drizzling, so we just took a short walk. There were plenty of souvenir shops and restaurants, so we enjoyed it very much. We hesitated to go to the aquarium because there were only two adults, but if we had children with us, it would be worth going because we could touch the fish directly! The view of the Amakusa bridge was also great, and as expected, we ordered a three-color bowl for the meal, with the main dishes being the "mini tempura bowl," "mini seafood bowl," and "mini steak bowl," and we were surprised by the freshness of the seafood, which was freshly fried or grilled! As expected, when it comes to food in Amakusa, not only the seafood, but also the vegetables and meat (chicken/beef/pork) are the best! The seaweed and nori were especially delicious! ^^ (Original) 2025年3月16日のくもり空の天気の日に訪問いたしました! 天気が晴れていれば最高だったとは思いますが、肌寒い天気だったのと小雨も降っていたので少しだけ散歩しました。 お土産屋さんや食事処も充実していてとても楽しめました。 水族館も大人2人だったので躊躇しましたが、こどもも一緒だったら直に触れたりうるらしいので行く価値はありそうですね! 天草の橋の景色も最高だったのとさすがに食事で3色丼を注文して「 ミニ天丼 」「 ミニ海鮮丼 」「 ミニステーキ丼 」がメインであったのですがいずれも揚げたてや焼きたて、新鮮な海鮮に驚きました! やっぱり天草は食に関しては、海鮮はもちろんですが野菜・肉(鶏/牛/豚)ともに最高ですね! 特にアオサや海苔が抜群に美味しかったです!^^

(Translated by Google) I visited on a weekday in July. Once you pass through the large gate, you'll find a spacious area. Souvenir shops and restaurants are lined up to the right. There's a photo spot with a windmill in the back. On the left is a shop where you can buy pearls. You can either walk to the back of the aquarium or take a 100 yen one-way bus. Reserve your interaction ticket at the automatic ticket machine at the aquarium entrance, and purchase your admission fee there as well. There are three time slots. I recommend checking the website to confirm the times. The aquarium is small, so you can see everything in about an hour. I was impressed by the dolphins we got to see up close. If you go, it's a good idea to purchase an interaction ticket and touch the dolphins to make a memorable memory. There are also areas where you can feed red sea bream and touch sharks and starfish, so it's fun even with children. However, it gets hot in the middle of summer, so be sure to take precautions against the heat and stay hydrated. (Original) 7月の平日に来園。 大きな門をくぐると広々としています。 右手にお土産やさんと飲食店並び 奥には風車の写真撮影スポットがあり 左手には真珠が買えるお店有り。 水族館は奥まで歩くか片道100円のバス有り。 水族館入り口で自動精算機でふれあいチケット予約を買って入園料もそちらで購入。 時間が3回に分けて有ります。 ホームページなどを見て 時間を確認していく事オススメ。 水族館は1時間くらいで見て回れるぐらいの 小さな水族館。 間近で見れるイルカには感動しました。 いくならふれあいチケット購入して イルカタッチなどした方が記念になります。 真鯛の餌やりやサメやヒトデを 触れるコーナーもあるので子連れでも たのしめます。ただ真夏は暑いので 暑さ対策や水分補給必須です。

(Translated by Google) It's a small aquarium. It's a bit of a walk from the parking lot. For those who don't like walking, there is a bus-like thing called the Iruka-chan bus, which runs for a fee! There are stairs in places, so strollers are not recommended. We were able to touch the dolphins, which was reasonably priced and my daughter had a great time! We got to see them jump up close, which was very impressive! The exhibits were interesting, and we took our time reading and looking around, so quite a bit of time flew by 😂 (Original) こじんまりとした水族館です。 駐車場から少し歩きます。 歩くのが嫌な方はいるかちゃんバス?みたいなのが有料で走ってます! ところどころ階段があるのでベビーカーはおすすめしません。 イルカのタッチをさせて頂いたのですが、値段もお手頃で娘も楽しんでいました! 近くでジャンプをみたりと迫力満点でした! 展示物がおもしろくゆっくり読んで見て回ると結構時間がすぎてました😂

Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Nestled in the heart of Japan, the Amakusa Shiro Museum offers a captivating glimpse into the historical events surrounding the Shimabara Rebellion of 1637. This uprising saw local peasants rise against oppressive taxation and religious persecution, led by the charismatic Amakusa Shiro. The museum's exhibits chronologically narrate this significant chapter in Japanese history, showcasing not only the rebellion but also its ties to Namban culture and Christianity.
This museum does a great job of telling the story of early Christians in Japan. Which is a small but interesting part of Japanese history. There is a modest entrance fee and pictures are not allowed inside the building. English and Japanese borchers are available as well as a Japanese Audio Guide.
Ben B — Google review
Kind of interesting place telling the story of Amakusa Shiro, a 15 year old boy thought to be the son of God who led 37000 Japanese christians to fight the local authorities that were oppressing them. Despite some early victories it didn't end well for them. That is the short version anyway. Hopefully we can learn some lessons from history like this and we can all live in peace together

(Translated by Google) "Amakusa Shiro Tokisada" A beautiful young man said to be the son of God appeared in this land and led Japan's largest uprising together with local Christians oppressed by the Edo Shogunate. A historical story unfolds in this land rich in nature. Here, documents and videos tracing this history are displayed in an easy-to-understand manner, explaining the history of Amakusa's Christians. It was quite a sight to behold. (Original) "天草四郎時貞" この地に現れた神の子といわれた美少年は、江戸幕府に弾圧されたこの地のキリシタンと、日本最大の一揆を起こした。 自然豊かなこの地に、歴史のストーリーが流れていた。 ここはそんな歴史を辿れる資料や映像が、天草のキリシタンたちの歴史をわかりやすく展示されており。なかなか見ごたえがあった。

(Translated by Google) Admission fee: ¥600 (cash only) I visited Amakusa to learn about the history of Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, known as the Son of God. This museum was the first place I visited, providing a deep insight into the events and background leading up to the Shimabara Rebellion. I watched a 12-minute explanatory video (viewed in a hall), thoroughly read the other exhibits and guidebooks, and reflected on the people of that time. My stay lasted just under an hour (which I consider quite long). The highlight was the meditation room on the second floor. Although I only spent 30 seconds there, it had a truly outstanding presence in the museum. The admission fee was reasonable, and it was a very satisfying hour. (Original) 入場料600円(現金のみ) 神の子と言われた天草四郎時貞の歴史を学びに天草訪問。纏わる場所として最初に訪れたのがこのミュージアム。島原の乱に至った経緯や背景を深く知る事ができました。12分間の解説ビデオ(ホールでの鑑賞形式)を視聴し、その他の展示品と案内文を完読し、当時の人々に想いを馳せ、約1時間弱の滞在でした。(かなり長い方だと思います)極めつけは2階の瞑想ルーム。私の滞在時間は30秒ながらも、ミュージアムの中での存在感は群を抜いていました。入場料も安く大満足の1時間でした。

The Amakusa Christian Museum, located in central Amakusa City, offers a deep dive into the history of Christians in the region. The museum's main focus is on the Shimabara Rebellion and the lives of the 'Hidden Christians'. Visitors can view a large wall painting depicting the final battle at Hara Castle and explore items used by these hidden Christians.
The Amakusa Christian Museum is a well-designed, throughout museum. All explanations are in Japanese. But, the visuals are stunning.

Amakusa City Dolphin Center Roadside Station

Toll road rest stop
Amakusa City Dolphin Center Roadside Station is a charming spot operated by a fishing cooperative, offering not only fresh sashimi meals but also dolphin research and walking tours. The center provides an opportunity to learn about the connection between dolphins and local divers while enjoying quizzes. The main attraction is the chance to encounter wild dolphins, with high probabilities throughout the year. Visitors can join dolphin watching tours or use binoculars from the observation deck for potential sightings.
This dolphins center provides a tour on a boat to go see the dolphins that live in the ocean nearby. This is the only place in Japan where you can see wild dolphins all year round. This is because the ocean here is still abundant with fish so a large herd of dolphins live here. It is a must-see tour if you ever visit Amakusa.

Bhira P — Google review
(Translated by Google) There are restrooms, a shop selling local specialties, and a restaurant on the second floor that's only open for lunch, but there are only a few parking spaces, making it a rather small roadside station. I made a reservation online and enjoyed dolphin watching. You get a 10% discount if you book online. (An environmental contribution is required separately.) I knew I might not see any dolphins, but it was my first time dolphin watching, and I was thrilled to be able to see pods of wild dolphins up close, over and over again. Dolphins swim at the surface to "breathe," then repeatedly dive, and then dive underwater for 1-2 minutes. They seem to have the habit of returning to the surface again. I was able to hear the dolphins breathing and see them swimming in groups up close. I get seasick easily (I've even gotten seasick on a medium-sized ferry to Iki...), so I took some motion sickness medicine. My wife, who's not a big deal, just got on the boat. Well, the rocking wasn't that severe, and it was just a matter of feeling the sea breeze. Apparently, about 180 to 200 wild dolphins live in the sea near the roadside station, so there's a good chance you'll encounter a pod of dolphins. It was fun. (Original) トイレや、地域の特産物が並ぶ売店、二階にはランチ営業のみの食堂もありますが、 駐車場スペースの台数は少なく、道の駅としての規模は小さめです。 ネットで予約してイルカウォッチングを楽しんできました。 ネット予約すると10%引きになります。 (別途、環境協力金) 「イルカに遭遇できない時もあります」と予習して行きましたが、 初めてのイルカウォッチング、 間近で野生のイルカの群れを何度も何度も見る事ができ、大満足でした。 イルカが海面で泳ぐのは「息継ぎ」でドルフィンダイブを繰り返し、その後1〜2分 海中に潜ります。 そしてまた海面へ、という習性のようです。 スグ近くでイルカたちの息継ぎの音や、群れで泳ぐ姿を間近で見る事ができました。 船酔いする私は(中型の壱岐行きフェリーでも酔った事がある…) 酔い止め薬を。 へっちゃらな妻は そのまま 乗船。 まあ、そんなに激しい揺れでもなく、 「海風が気持ちいい〜」くらいでした。 道の駅付近の海には約180頭から200頭の野生のイルカが生息してるそうで、かなりの確率でイルカの群れに遭遇できるそうです。 楽しかったですね。

(Translated by Google) This roadside station is located in Itsuwa-cho, Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture. It's located along National Route 389 near the mouth of the Uchino River. Once inside the port, the facility is quite impressive, but it's hard to see from the highway, so it's easy to miss. As the name suggests, dolphin watching is the main attraction, and there's a general information desk just inside the first-floor entrance. Behind that is a shop selling seafood and processed products, as well as dolphin plush toys and accessories. The restaurant on the second floor also focuses on seafood, and you can enjoy the view from the balcony. Perhaps because it's difficult to secure space along the coast, the parking lot is long from east to west, and there aren't many parking spaces, which is a bit of a problem. Many people are seen parking on the quay along the waterfront, but there are still a fair number of guests there who come to dolphin watch, so it's undeniable that there is a slight shortage of spaces. (Original) 熊本県天草市五和町にある道の駅。 内野川河口付近の国道389号線沿いにある。港に入ってみるとそれなりの施設だが、国道側からみるとよくわからないため何となく見逃す可能性もある。 その名の通りイルカウォッチングができるのが売りで1階玄関を入ってすぐに総合案内所がある。その奥が売店となっており、海産物やその加工品を中心にイルカのぬいぐるみや小物等も含めて販売されている。2階はレストランでやはり海鮮がメイン。ベランダからは展望もできる。 海沿いで敷地の確保が難しいからなのか駐車場が東西に長く、駐車台数が少な目なのがいただけない。海沿いの岸壁に駐車している人も多く見受けられるが、イルカウォッチング目当ての客がそこそこ居るため、それでも不足気味な感があるのは否めない。

(Translated by Google) The other day, I finally got to board a dolphin-watching boat, something I'd always wanted! (I showed up without a reservation, and they were happy to help.) I joined the 2:30 PM tour that day, and the conditions were perfect (I think). The sky was clear, there was almost no wind, and the sea was perfectly calm. Just 10 minutes after leaving the port, we saw a pod of dolphins! They were so close... and they were swimming so close! We even heard the dolphins' cries (their squealing sounds!)... It was only a 40-minute tour, but it's definitely worth experiencing! I'm sure it will be an amazing experience. Also... be careful not to drop your smartphone in the ocean. (Original) 先日ようやく念願だったイルカウォッチング船へ乗船! (予約無しで凸しましたがOKでした) この日は午後2:30のツアーへ参加しましたが空は晴天で風もほぼ無く海はまさしく凪という絶好の条件だった(と思う) 船で港を出てほんの10分程でイルカの群れ! こんなに近くにいたのか…そしてとても近くで泳ぐイルカ達! イルカの鳴き声(キュイキュイ♪というアレ)も聴けましたよ…40分程のツアーでしたがコレは是非体験した方が良い! きっと感動が待っています あと…海にスマホなど落とさないよう注意です

(Translated by Google) I heard about it on the news the other day and quickly made a return visit. The Fisheries Cooperative Association restaurant will be closing on November 20th, and the first floor sales corner on November 30th. Since it opened in 2019, I've used it many times for dates and solo trips, and it's a place that holds many fond memories for me. It will be lonely for a while as the restaurant and sales business are closed for the time being, but I look forward to the day when they reopen in a different form in the future! (Original) 先日ニュースで知って急ぎ再訪。 漁協レストランが11月20日、1階販売コーナーは11月30日をもって営業終了されます。 2019年にオープンしてから、デートやソロツーリングで何度も目的地にしていた、色々と思い出のある場所です。 一旦はレストラン・販売事業はお休みなのでしばらくは寂しいですが、将来また違った姿になって再オープンしてくれる日を楽しみにしています!

Izakaya restaurant
Seated in an elevated private room, we struggled through ordering our food through our google lens transator but boy was it worth it! The sushi was heavenly soft, perfectly paired with the fresh wasabi and home made shoyu. The pork gyoza in soup was a revelation - bringing a bit of home cooking nostalgia as you sip the soup. By the end of the night, we overfilled our bellies with no regret. Our friendly owner patiently tried to explain certain things to us, and through a combination of gestures and random nodding, we had a thoroughly enjoyable night.

(Translated by Google) Seafood rice bowl as a side dish for ramen, pasta, and sake No matter what, all the dishes are exquisite! Be careful with extremely spicy dishes; the spiciness will leave spicy food lovers speechless. When ordinary people eat it, they writhe in agony from the pain rather than the spiciness. There are many types of alcohol available, and you can use PayPay for cashless payments, which is rare among izakayas in Amakusa. (Original) ラーメンやパスタ、酒の肴に海鮮丼 何でもあるが全ての料理が絶品! 激辛料理は要注意、辛い物好きが絶句する辛さです。 一般人が食べると辛さより痛みで悶絶します。 お酒の種類も多く、天草の居酒屋では珍しいキャッシュレス決済ペイペイが使えるお店です。

(Translated by Google) They are famous for their extensive lunchtime set menu, but I personally recommend their Hell Ramen. A few years ago, when I tried Hell's 3rd Street (level 3 spiciness), I, a lover of spicy food, was brought to tears. So this time I ordered the default without any extras. I see, even the default level is so numbing. But it was still tasty and I enjoyed it. I think there are 10 streets up, but I wonder what the view is like...I'm curious! (Original) ランチタイムの定食メニューが豊富で有名ですが、私は敢えての地獄ラーメン推しです。 数年前に地獄の3丁目(3辛)を食べた時に、辛いモノ好きの私が涙目になりました。 ので今回は追加なしデフォルトを頂きました。 なるほどデフォでもこんな痺れるのね。 でも旨みもちゃんとあって美味しく頂きました。 確か10丁目まであったと思いますが果たしてどんな景色でしょうか...気になります!

I don't know if this is a Kumamoto rule, but frankly, this is terrible. In addition, the time setting on the tablet was wrong, so I misunderstood and thought it was all-you-can-drink for 1 hour. This was later corrected. The menu doesn't list the times. I agree with others that the food was delicious. Drinks were served quickly. The atmosphere was good. I don't mind the all-you-can-drink price, but the fact that minors and the driver have to pay the same amount should be reconsidered as a system. (Original) 家族で居酒屋利用した。飲み放題2750円はかなり高額の印象。なんと未成年でハンドルキーパーの息子も同額。 熊本ルールなのか判らないが、はっきりいってこれは酷い。 おまけにタブレットの時間定まで間違っていて、1時間飲み放題と誤解。のちに訂正。メニューには時間が載っていない。 食べ物は他の方と同意見でおいしい。飲み物の提供も早い。 雰囲気も良い。飲み放題の値段設定は構わないが、未成年やハンドルキーパーも同額なのは、制度として再考された方が良い。

(Translated by Google) A classic lunch spot in Amakusa. It's a private room, so you can bring your children too🆗 Choose two side dishes for 1,100 yen including tax. Or you can choose ramen and side dish for 1100 yen including tax. You can get a second helping of rice, so you'll be full. It's hard to tell because you order on a tablet, but they also have children's lunches. The portions are generous, so you don't have to order for the kids, you can just share the side dishes. The recommended dish is mapo tofu. Rich and spicy, you can eat 3 cups of rice! This is surprisingly authentic mapo tofu. (Original) 天草では、定番のランチスポット。 個室なので、子連れも🆗 オカズ2品を選んで、税込1100円。 又は、ラーメンとオカズ一品選んでも税込1100円 ご飯お代わり出来るので、お腹いっぱいになります。 タブレットで注文するので、わかりにくが、お子様ランチもあります。 量がソコソコあるので、子供の分頼まなくても、オカズをシェアすれば良いかと。 オススメは、麻婆豆腐です。 コク旨ピリ辛で、ご飯3杯いけます! 意外に本格的な麻婆豆腐です。

If you're on the hunt for a delightful dining experience, look no further than Saiwai Zushi. This charming sushi spot offers an array of mouthwatering dishes that are sure to satisfy any palate. During my visit, I indulged in their large fried shrimp set meal, which featured three generously sized shrimp accompanied by a homemade tartar sauce—a perfect pairing! The all-you-can-eat buffet of side dishes was another highlight, with each offering bursting with flavor.
Fresh seafood sashimi with big portion! The fried shrimp tempura also delicious! They also provide buffet-style side dishes! Love it! Recommend to all.

(Translated by Google) In spring, there is sea urchin fishing, and sea urchins seem to be famous. I had the special sea urchin bowl (5,700 yen). I get the impression that there were a lot more sea urchins than it looked. It has no odor and is delicious. However, the rice in the sea urchin bowl was warm. Since it was a sushi restaurant, I had a preconception that it would be vinegared rice, so I was surprised. Sea urchin, let's go eat. (Original) 春はウニ漁があり、ウニが有名なようです。 特盛ウニ丼(5700円)をいただきました。 見た目よりかなりウニがあった印象です。臭みも無く、美味しい。ただ、ウニ丼のご飯は温かいご飯でした。お寿司屋だったので先入観酢飯だと思っていたのでそこはびっくりでした。 ウニ、食べに行きましょう。

(Translated by Google) The sashimi and sea bream were excellent. It's very fresh, has no odor at all, and has a umami and slightly sweet taste. The skirt steak is especially delicious. The fried shrimp is very large and plump, and the flavor is perfect. Homemade tartar is also good! Recommended for sushi and green foods (pickled?). Is this course a memorial service? It was a typical lunch meal, but the cost performance was the best. The dishes are served one after another. We recommend a balanced diet. If you have any leftovers, you can take them home and enjoy them for dinner. (Original) 刺身、鯛が最高でした。とても新鮮で全く臭みがなく旨みとほんのりと甘みもある。特にハラミが美味しい~。 エビフライはとっても大きくプリプリで旨みもバッチリ。自家製タルタルもGOOD! お寿司、青物(漬け?)おすすめ。 今回は法事でコース?的なお昼の食事でしたが、コスパは最強。次から次に料理が提供されます。バランスをとりながらの食事を推奨します。 なお、余ったらお持ち帰りもOKで、夕飯で美味しくいただきました。

(Translated by Google) Visited September 15, 2025 The name "Saiwaizushi" (pronounced "Kou-zushi") is pronounced "Kou-zushi." I ordered the large fried shrimp set meal (¥1,500 including tax). It came with three large fried shrimp, so I was very satisfied! As someone who prefers tartar sauce when it comes to fried shrimp, this restaurant's choice was a welcome surprise! Also, when you order a set meal here, they include an all-you-can-eat buffet of side dishes, which were all delicious! It's a good idea to start with a small portion so you don't get full before the main course arrives! Also, I noticed other customers ordering fried chicken to go. I guess it's a specialty dish. I'd like to try it next time! (Original) 2025/09/15訪問 幸寿司(さいわいずし)と読みます。 大海老フライ定食(税込1,500円)を注文。 大海老フライが3本も入ってるので大満足でした! 海老フライはタルタル派の私にとっては、こちらの店のチョイスは有り難かったです! また、こちらで定食を注文すると、ブッフェ形式の惣菜食べ放題が付いているんですが、これがまたどれも美味しかったです!メインが来る前にお腹いっぱいにならないよう、最初は少しの盛り付けにしといた方がいいです! あと、ほかのお客さんが持ち帰りで唐揚げを注文していたのが気になりました。たぶん名物料理なんでしょうね。次回食べてみたい!

(Translated by Google) I had the Yukidon. The butter-grilled abalone can be eaten at your own pace and is very delicious. As the name suggests, it was a happy bowl. I live in Amakusa, and the fish everywhere is delicious, but I like the fish from Futae the best. (Original) 幸丼にしました。 鮑のバター焼きは自分のタイミングで食べられて、とても美味。名前の通り、幸せ丼でした。 天草在住で、どこも魚が美味しいですが、二江の魚が一番好きです。

Sushi restaurant
Yakko Sushi is a traditional sushi restaurant in Amakusa, known for its red-lacquer accents and seasonal ingredients. The restaurant offers fixed-menu options and requires reservations, especially on weekends. Guests can enjoy the private rooms with views of the small harbor. The sushi is served without soy sauce, allowing diners to experience the umami and sweetness of the fish with salt and citrus juice instead.
One of the best (or actually the best?) sushi I have ever eaten in Japan. The quality was truly overwhelming. Fat fish from the beginning to the end, it was an unbelievable feast!

I had a really fun time chatting with other customers at the counter. I'm not good at remembering the names of fish, so I can't leave any comments on the photos, but the chef just put the flavor that matched the nigiri and it was delicious! Just eat ️. I was very satisfied.

(Translated by Google) A friend recommended this restaurant. It's about two hours from Kumamoto Station. Amakusa is a long way... But it's worth the journey!! The omakase nigiri lunch course was 8,800 yen. It was amazing. The sushi wasn't just made with sushi, it was ingeniously prepared. The chef's words, "To serve delicious food, you have to spend money and put in the effort," really hit home. It was a wonderful restaurant. By the way, the sushi was lightly vinegary, with average rice and average firmness. Flounder with plum salt ◎ Flounder with plum salt. The tartness of the plum was a perfect match for the refreshing flounder. Bigfin reef squid with sea urchin salt ◎ Grouper with rock salt ☆ The rock salt was coarse and crunchy, but strangely not at all salty. I wonder if the fat in the grouper neutralizes the saltiness...? Nakazumi (small konoshiro fish)◎ I thought it was a small fish, but it's actually a konoshiro fish. This is delicious in its own way. Striped horse mackerel with yuzu pepper☆ Striped horse mackerel is incredibly delicious, as expected. The second dish of the day. It's amazing when paired with yuzu pepper. Splendid golden eye snapper (southern golden eye snapper) with kombu-jime and wasabi☆ Apparently, this species is different from the alfonsino caught around Suruga Bay. Apparently, in Amakusa, it's a fish eaten simmered, not as sashimi or sushi. This one has a slightly soft texture, so... Apparently, the kelp-cured mackerel adds texture and flavor. Amazing! Number 3 of the day First-catch mackerel with onions☆ First-catch mackerel that hasn't yet fully developed its fat. When you eat this with onion soy sauce, it's surprisingly delicious. Number 5 of the day Red cod (blackthroat seaperch)☆ A well-known, high-quality fish. Not only is it high-quality, but it's also incredibly delicious. Number 4 of the day Wild tiger prawns☆ Number 1 of the day!! The idea of ​​wrapping prawns is incredible. And the combination of raw and lightly seared creates a delicious harmony. Wow, I want another one (lol) Grilled amberjack with garlic◎ Amberjack and garlic go so well together! Nagasaki otoro ◎ Reliable Substitute salmon roe for flounder porridge ☆ A luxurious whole flounder porridge The varied textures and flavors depending on the part were interesting Wasanbon panna cotta for dessert ☆ (Original) 友人おすすめのこちらのお店へ 熊本駅から約2時間 天草は遠い、、、 ですが、ここはその距離を越えて来る価値がある!! ランチのおまかせ握りコース これで8800円 やばすぎる ただ握るだけでなく、創意工夫にあふれたお寿司 うまいものを出すには、「お金をかけるか手間をかけるしかない」という大将の言葉がめちゃくちゃ刺さりますね 素晴らしいお店でした ちなみに、お寿司は、酢弱め・シャリ普通・握りの固さ普通でした ヒラメの梅塩◎ ヒラメを梅味のお塩でいただく 梅の酸味がさっぱりとしたヒラメにとても合う アオリイカ(ミズイカ)のウニ塩◎ クエの岩塩☆ 岩塩が荒めでがりがり噛みながら ところがまったく塩辛くない不思議 クエの脂で中和されているのだろうか、、、? ナカズミ(このしろの小さいの)◎ 小肌と思いきや、このしろ これはこれで美味しい 縞鯵の柚子胡椒☆ 縞鯵はやっぱりめちゃくちゃ美味しい この日の2番 柚子胡椒と合わせるとかすごすぎる 金目鯛(南金目)の昆布締めわさびのせ☆ 駿河湾あたりのキンメとは種類が違うらしく、天草あたりでは煮付けで食べる魚で、刺身や寿司では食べないらしい これは少し緩い肉質のためだそうで、それを昆布締めにすることで歯応えと旨みをプラスしているそう すごっ この日の3番 初物のサワラの玉ねぎ☆ まだ脂が乗り切っていない初物のサワラ これを玉ねぎ醤油でいただくと、あら不思議とても美味しい この日の5番 アカむつ(ノドグロ)☆ 言わずと知れた高級魚 高級なだけじゃなく、旨みが半端ない この日の4番 天然の車海老☆ この日の1番!! 車海老を巻く、という発想がすごすぎる そして生と軽く炙ったところが混ざり合って美味しすぎるハーモニー はぁ、もう一個食べたい(笑) カンパチの炙りあげニンニク添え◎ カンパチとニンニクは合う! 長崎の大トロ◎ 安定感 いくらの代替ヒラメの縁側☆ ヒラメの縁側を贅沢に一本まるまる 場所によっていろんな食感と味わいがあって面白かった デザートの和三盆のパンナコッタ☆

(Translated by Google) I came here for the first time in a while and there were only eight seats at the counter. Maybe it's because of age. In the past, the ingredients were carefully selected from the local area and were delicious when eaten immediately, or aged for five days before tasting. They also used homemade cherry blossom salt and were very particular about the ingredients, but now they have to use expensive ingredients from somewhere. It's a bit different, although there's no doubt that it's delicious! Maybe it's because of age? Power and delicacy? Please keep up the great work.

(Translated by Google) We made a reservation for two people two months in advance, and although we were worried about our arrival time due to renting a car, we managed to arrive five minutes early! There were six other seats at the counter already taken, so we were able to be seated just in time. After that, we savored the 12 sushi rolls prepared by the chef, while enjoying his expert techniques and conversational skills. It was an unforgettable lunch course, thank you very much. (Original) 2ヶ月前に夫婦二人の予約完了、レンタカー移動のため到着時間を気にしつつ、どうにか5分前到着!他6名様のカウンター席埋まっており、時間丁度に着座完了。 あとは大将の熟練の技、話術に舌鼓を打ちつつお任せ12貫握りを堪能、、、忘れられないランチコースとなりました、本当に有難うございました。

(Translated by Google) I visited Yakko Sushi, a western legend. This was my third time. It has been renovated twice before, but this was my first visit since the latest renovation. There are now only eight seats at the counter. More than anything, the 76-year-old chef is energetic and a lively talker. It's a more enjoyable place to spend time than at a quiet restaurant where the food is delicious. The portions are relatively large. I was stuffed by the time I finished. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 西のレジェンド、奴寿司さんに伺いました。3度目。 今まで2度改装されていて、今回の改装後は初めて。カウンター8席のみとなりました。 何よりも76歳の大将が元気でトークが冴え渡ります。美味しくても寡黙なお店より楽しい時間が過ごせます。 ネタは比較的大きめです。 完走する頃には腹パンです。 ご馳走様でした。

Sakitsu Church is a unique and peaceful place with an interesting history of Catholicism in Amakusa. It's the only church in Japan that combines wood and concrete in its construction, as it was originally planned to be built with concrete but ended up using wood due to budget constraints. The front of the church is made of stone while the rest is wooden, and inside, visitors can explore the charming interior adorned with white-painted wooden elements.

Their's is the remarkable account of the "Kakure Kirishitan" Or "Christian's in Hiding" during the prohibition of Christianity in Japan, decreed by the Tokugawa Shogunate (Tokugawa Bakufu) from the 1600 until the late 1880s. Many Japanese Christian's went into hiding, refusing to renounce their Christian faith. This is the historic Sakitsu Village and Sakitsu Church. Visit the local Sakitsu Christian Museum for it's riveting accounts. It's a "Must Visit" in my opinion.
Ken K — Google review
A very peaceful church, photo-taking is not allowed inside. If I’m not wrong this is the only church in Japan that has used both wood and concrete—they planed to build it with concrete but ran out of budget at the finishing point so they used wood instead—white painted parts are made of wood.

Historical landmark
Sakitsu Village in Amakusa is a small fishing village facing Yokaku Bay, known for its preservation of the history of Hidden Christians. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site and currently hosts an illumination event, creating a solemn atmosphere. The sunset view is spectacular, but it's advisable to dress warmly. The nearby shrine and cathedral are also illuminated, offering a blend of Japanese and Western culture.

(Translated by Google) A place I wanted to visit again. This time, my wish came true, and I was able to visit by motorbike. Blue sea, a tranquil appearance. And yet the streets have a unique atmosphere. It hasn't changed at all since five years ago. If you didn't know anything, you wouldn't know this was a hidden Christian village. It's that quiet and secluded. But you can feel something. Sitting on a bench and looking at the sea, my heart strangely calms down. The atmosphere is different from the hidden Christians in Kasuga Village that I visited the other day. I was surprised to learn that even though they are all called hidden Christians, the methods of faith differ in each region, and the unique atmosphere that comes from that. A place worth visiting. And a place I'd like to visit a third time. (Original) もう一度訪れたかった場所。今回、念願叶って、それもバイクで訪れることができました。 青い海、ひっそりした佇まい。それでいて独特な雰囲気を持った街並み。5年前と変わっていませんね。 なにも知らなければ、ここが隠れキリシタンの集落とはわからないでしょ。それほど静かでひっそりとしています。しかし、何かを感じます。 ベンチに座り海を眺めていると、不思議とこころが落ち着きます。 先日訪れた春日集落の隠れキリシタンとは異なった雰囲気。一言で隠れキリシタンと言っても、各地域毎に信仰の方法が異なること、そこから生まれる独特の雰囲気が分かって、改めて驚きました。 訪れる価値のある場所。そして、三度訪れたいと思える場所です。

(Translated by Google) Visited on September 15, 2025 It took us two and a half hours by car from Kumamoto City. To be honest, it's not the easiest to get to, but it's well worth the two and a half hours. The sight of the chalk-white church nestled in the middle of a fishing town with the scent of the sea is truly picturesque. If this were in Oita Prefecture, it would undoubtedly have been the filming location for Nikaido's commercial. Unfortunately, a funeral was being held that day, so we weren't able to see inside, but I was amazed when I saw a photo of the interior of Sakitsu Church on display at the Sakitsu Minatoya Museum! It even had tatami mats! Isn't this the only place in the world where you can see it? Also, at the aforementioned Sakitsu Minatoya Museum, our guide, Mr. Fukuoka, explains the history of the church with his storytelling skills, just like a storyteller. The punchline at the end was amazing! (Original) 2025/09/15訪問 熊本市内から車で2時間半かかりました。 アクセスは正直良くないですが、2時間半かけて行く価値は充分にあると思います。 海の香りがする猟師町の中に、白亜の教会がたたずむ風景は、何とも絵になります。 もしここが大分県なら、間違いなく二階堂のCMロケ地になっていたはずです。 当日、葬儀が営まれていたため、残念ながら中を見ることはできなかったのですが、崎津資料館みなと屋に掲示されていた崎津教会の内観写真を見てびっくり‼️なんと畳なんです‼️世界中でここだけなんじゃないでしょうか? あと、前述の崎津資料館みなと屋では、ガイドの福岡さんが講談師さながらの話芸で歴史を解説してくれます。最後のオチも一品です!

The association is at the center, but it's a compact tourist spot with small shops, a shrine, and an observation deck within walking distance. There's a small parking lot in the center that can accommodate about three cars. There were fewer tourists on a weekday, so I was able to stroll around leisurely and stay for about two hours.

(Translated by Google) It's just over three hours by rental car from Kumamoto Airport. Perhaps that's why the tranquility is so well preserved. The history of the village where Christians hid and the scenery of the fishing village are both sad and beautiful. The people are very kind. I'd like to keep this to myself, but I'd like to introduce it to you because the innkeeper and other tourists are working hard. (Original) 熊本空港からレンタカーで3時間余り。だからこそ守られている静けさなのでしょうか。 キリシタンが隠れ住んだ里の歴史と、漁村の風景が切なくも美しい。人々はとても優しいです。そっと心にしまっておきたいのですが、宿のご主人を始め、観光のみなさんががんばっていらっしゃるので紹介させていただきます。

(Translated by Google) Amakusa World Heritage Site This is a village where the footprints of hidden Christians still remain. If you're looking for a first stop, we recommend the Minatoya Museum. It's a good idea to visit each site with the intention of understanding how the Christians maintained their faith, or even changed it to avoid extinction, and enjoying the transformations they experienced. As depicted in Shusaku Endo's Silence, this area offers a unique glimpse into Edo society, where some Christian elements were left alone as long as they cooperated with the shogunate's authorization of the fumie paintings. People still live in the village today, and it's a pleasant fishing village to stroll around. Cats dot the landscape, and the scent of the sea and tide is relaxing. (Original) 天草の世界遺産スポット 隠れキリシタンの足跡が今も残る集落です 真っ先に行くなら 資料館のみなと屋がおすすめ どのように信仰を保ったか あるいは 変化させて絶滅を逃れたかを理解し その 変容を楽しむような気持ちで 各所を訪れると良いかと 遠藤周作の沈黙で描かれるような 踏み絵という幕府の権威づけへの協力さえすれば 変容したキリスト教風味のものは 一部 放置される独特の江戸社会を感じられます なお集落は 現在でも人々が生活しており 漁村として歩くのも楽しいです 猫がちらほらいたり 海と潮の香りでくつろげます

(Translated by Google) It was my first time visiting Sakitsu Village. It's a fishing village, but I was interested in it because it's a World Heritage Site. The villagers were all friendly and easy to talk to. There are several parking lots. I was able to explore most of the village on foot. The village is very well-kept and tidy. Even though it's November, dead leaves are falling from the mountain behind, but there wasn't a single speck of trash to be found. Some villagers, I believe, were fishing on the breakwater. They said they caught a lot of mackerel the day before. On this day, they caught red sea bream and black porgy. I'd like to visit again in a different season. Thank you very much for your hospitality. (Original) 崎津集落へは、初めて行きました。 漁業を営む集落ですが、世界文化遺産という事で興味がありました。 村の人達は、皆さんフレンドリーで気軽にお話しが出来ました。 駐車場は、何ヶ所も有ります。 殆ど歩いて見学出来ました。 とても清潔に掃除が行き届いています。 11月なのに裏山からの枯葉も落ちて来ると思いますが、ゴミ1つ有りませんでした。 防波堤では、集落の人達と思いますが、魚釣りをされていました。 昨日は、サバが、大量に釣れたと言ってました。この日は、真鯛とチヌを釣ってありました。 また違う季節に訪問したいと思います。 大変お世話になりました。

(Translated by Google) Visited on a Tuesday afternoon. The Christian Museum was closed, so I thought I'd like to visit it, so I decided to visit. Admission fee is 300 yen per person. A round trip ticket to 4 nearby museums (100 yen to 300 yen per museum) costs 600 yen, so you can get your money's worth by visiting 3 museums. As the name suggests, this is a museum related to theology. There is also a large bookshelf inside the building, which makes you feel that learning about God is still alive and well. The main exhibit is, of course, the Gutenberg printing press! It's impressive. The puzzles near the entrance were surprisingly difficult, so even adults could enjoy them! (Original) 火曜の昼すぎに訪問。キリシタン館は閉館日だったので、こちらは行っておきたいな〜と思って伺いました。 入館料は1人300円。近隣4館(1館につき100円〜300円)の周遊チケットは600円なので、3館行けば元が取れます。 こちらはコレジオ(学校)館の名の通り、神学に関連した資料館です。館内には大きな蔵書棚もあり、神への学びが今も息づいていることを感じさせてくれます。 メインの展示物は何といってもグーテンベルク印刷機!迫力があります。 入り口近くのパズルも意外と難易度が高くて、大人でも楽しめました!

(Translated by Google) Along with your admission ticket, you will receive a copy of something printed on Gutenberg's printing press. If you take a guided tour, you can see Gutenberg's printing press in action, and you can even try out the bamboo pipe organ. The organ is played using a manual bellows in the back. The pipe organ sound is very soft. They also perform at a church in Sakitsu on Christmas. The world dolls on the second floor are also interesting. (Original) 入館券とともにグーテンベルグの印刷機で刷られたもののコーピーがいただける。案内付きで回ると、グーテンベルグの印刷機を実際に稼働させて見せてくれたり、竹製のパイプオルガンを試奏することもできる。オルガンは後ろで手動のふいごを動かして演奏する。パイプオルガン音はとても柔らかい。クリスマスには崎津の教会で演奏することもあるとのこと。2階の世界の人形も興味深い。

(Translated by Google) The director's explanations were very thorough and easy to understand, and I was able to try out a bamboo musical instrument and a letterpress printing machine. There were many other interesting exhibits, and I learned a lot. If you're planning to visit other museums, I think coming here first will help you gain a deeper understanding of the other museums. (Original) 館長さんの説明がとても丁寧で分かりやすく、竹でできた楽器と活版印刷機を体験させて頂きました。他の展示資料興味深いものが多く、大変勉強になりました。他の資料館も巡る予定の方はここを一番に来られると他の館の理解も深まりやすいと思います。

(Translated by Google) It was opened in Amakusa in 1591 to train missionaries. This is a facility where the Nanban culture that the Aesops were sent to and brought back speaks to them. □ Gutenberg printing press (Japan's first metal type and printing press) □ A model of the Nanban ship "Nau" on which the envoys boarded. □ Western musical instruments such as a pipe organ. □ Materials on Nanban culture, as well as ➀ ESOPO's Treasure Chest (Aesop's Life) ➁ World Peace Doll House 🕊.

(Translated by Google) I was finally able to visit Amakusa Colegio, which I had not been able to visit yet. The building seemed smaller than I expected, but I was satisfied with the chance to see the Gutenberg printing press (reproduction) and materials from the Tensho Children's Mission to Europe. I was particularly moved by the display of the clothes worn by the boy envoys and the musical instruments they brought back to Japan. Additionally, on the second floor of the Colegio building, there is a ``World Peace Ambassador Doll Hall'' and a ``Local Agenda Materials Exhibition Room,'' which I thought were permanent exhibits worth seeing. Additionally, as part of a special exhibition commemorating the 5th anniversary of the inscription of the Hidden Christian Sites of the Nagasaki and Amakusa regions as World Heritage Sites, an exhibition of new items from the Colegio building was being held on the first floor, which was also interesting to view. When you stop by Amakusa, please visit here and experience the history of Amakusa. (Original) まだ訪れることができなかった天草コレジオ館にようやく来ることが出来た。建物は思っていたよりも小さく感じられたが、お目当てのグーテンベルク印刷機(複製)や、天正遣欧少年使節の資料を見られて満足した。特に少年使節の服装や日本に持ち帰った楽器の展示には心が動いた。またコレジオ館の2階には「世界平和大使人形の舘」や、「郷土先達資料展示室」もあって見応えある常設展示に思えた。さらに長崎と天草地方の潜伏キリシタン関連遺産の世界遺産登録5周年の特別企画展として、コレジオ館の新収蔵品展が1階で行われていて、これも興味深く観覧できた。天草に立ち寄るときには、ここにも訪れて、天草の歴史に触れてほしい。

(Translated by Google) There is so much to see at this facility that it is impossible to introduce everything! The word "collegio" may be unfamiliar to you, but it refers to a seminary (highest educational institution) for training clergy, and is more familiar to Japanese people as "college." It is said that members of the Tensho Embassy to Europe, such as Ito Mancio, Hara Martino, Nakaura Julian, and Chijiwa Miguel, studied at the Collegio in Amakusa, so it is an extremely moving experience. The Collegio provided both clergy training and general education, with lectures on Christianity, Latin, music, mathematics, and more. The Gutenberg metal type printing press was used to publish 12 different works, including dictionaries, literary works such as "The Tale of the Heike" and "Aesop's Fables," and devotional books. If you ask, you can even see how the Gutenberg printing press on display actually works! Gutenberg is the name of the inventor of movable type printing, one of the three greatest inventions of the Renaissance that contributed greatly to the development of mankind, so it's truly amazing to be able to see it in action! The main reason I visited this place was to see the bamboo pipe organ. As someone involved in music, it was extremely moving to be able to actually see and touch such a rare and precious instrument! The facility also has a separate exhibit on the history of Western classical music, and I was truly impressed by its splendor! Since Aesop's Fables were published here at the time, there is also a room where the stories are depicted with cute and tasteful dolls. The stories are woven with the dolls, creating a truly fairy-tale-like, warm atmosphere, and it has become one of my favorite places. One of the highlights here is the two medals (Gregory XIII and Sisto V) produced to commemorate the Tensho Embassy's audience with the Pope. This is apparently the only place where both are on display, so I'm truly grateful to be able to see such a precious historical heritage. There are many other things to see at this facility, so I highly recommend that anyone visiting Amakusa stop by! It's amazing! (Original) こちらの施設は全てを紹介することができないくらい、見所がいっぱいあります! 「コレジヨ」とは聞きなれない言葉だと思いますが、聖職者育成のための神学校(最高学府)のことで、日本人にもなじみのある言葉でいえば「カレッジ」のことです。 天正遣欧少年使節の伊東マンショ、原マルティノ、中浦ジュリアン、千々石ミゲルなども天草のコレジヨで学んだそうですから、物凄く感慨深いものがあります。 コレジヨでは聖職者育成と一般教養の両方の教育が行われ、キリスト教、ラテン語、音楽、数学などの講義が行われたそうです。 グーテンベルク式の金属活字印刷機では辞書や「平家物語」「イソップ物語」などの文学書、信心書など12種類が刊行されたとのこと。 なんと、この展示されているグーテンベルク印刷機は、頼めばどうやって印刷するのかというのを実際に動かして見せてもらえます! グーテンベルクとは活版印刷の発明者の名前で、活版印刷は人類の発展に大きく貢献したルネサンス期の三大発明の一つですので、その実際の動きが見られるというのは本当に素晴らしいことです! そして今回ここを訪れた最大の理由は、「竹製のパイプオルガン」でした。 なかなか目にすることのない貴重な楽器を実際に目にし触れることができるというのは、音楽に携わったことがある人間として、非常に感動的なものがありました! なお、ここの施設では別に西洋の古典的な音楽の歴史についての資料まで展示してあり、その素晴らしさにすごく感銘を受けました! こちらの施設では、当時イソップ物語が刊行されたことから、その物語をかわいらしく味のある人形で表現された部屋もあります。 実にメルヘンチックで温かな、いい雰囲気の人形たちで物語が紡がれており、物凄くお気に入りな場所となりました。 あとここの目玉の一つには、天正遣欧少年使節が教皇と謁見したことを記念して製作されたメダル2種(グレゴリオ13世・シスト5世)があります。 両方そろって展示されているのはこちらだけだそうで、相当貴重な歴史遺産を目にすることができ、本当にありがたいことだと思います。 他にも見どころがたくさんある施設ですので、天草に来られた方はぜひ一度、足を運ばれることをお勧めします!素晴らしいですよっ!

(Translated by Google) The former director gave a very detailed explanation for about 30 minutes, and I was able to understand the history of Christians in Amakusa, which I had only vaguely understood. Lastly, I was lucky that he told me about the sights to see at Sakitsu Church, which I planned to visit next. Also, the World Peace Ambassador's Doll House on the second floor is a must-see as it displays rare ethnic dolls donated by ambassadors from all over the world! The second floor was really unexpected. The former director here is the best! I highly recommend it. (Original) 元館長さんに大変丁寧に約30分程説明頂き、何となく理解してた天草のキリシタンの歴史について良く理解できました。 最後に次の観光予定の崎津教会についても見所を教えて頂いて参考になりラッキーでした。 また2階の世界平和大使の人形の館も、世界各国大使から寄贈された希少の民族人形が陳列されており必見の価値ありです! 2階は本当に想定外でした。 ここの元館長さんは最高ですね! とにかくおすすめです。

Mogushi Beach is a hidden gem in Japan, known for its pristine white sands and clear emerald waters. Located in an off-the-beaten-path area of Kyushu, it offers a tranquil escape from the crowds. Accessible by car or bicycle, or after a lengthy walk from Ushibuka, this unspoilt beach provides a serene environment even during peak times.
Peaceful. Although black kites did steal my paracetamol on one trip.

If you like nice sand and beautiful blue water, this is the place to go. Snorkeling here is really good! You can see so many tropical fish in the water. The blue fish are especially beautiful. This beach gets busy in the summer, but luckily it is very long, so you can find a spot in the sand to relax.

(Translated by Google) I stopped by on a short trip during the Obon holidays. I went early in the morning during Obon, so there weren't many people there yet. The sea here is beautiful, as expected. It's incredibly clear. It might have been a little murky due to the recent heavy rain, but it didn't bother me. There were shady spots in the morning, so I was able to cool off there, but once the sun rose, the sun was hitting me directly. I think it's a good idea to bring a sunshade. It's a little under three hours from Kumamoto, but I think it's still a beach worth visiting. I recommend bringing children too. (Original) お盆休みの小旅行で立ち寄りました。お盆の朝早い時間に行きましたので、まだ人はあまり多くなかったですね。 やはりここの海は綺麗です。透明感がたまりません。先日の豪雨ですこ〜し濁ってるのかもですが、気になりませんでした。午前中なら日陰できてる場所あったので、そこで涼むことできましたが、日が昇ったら日光直撃です。日除けの準備しておいたほうがよいと思います。熊本から3時間弱かかりはしますが、それでも行く価値のある海水浴場だと思います。お子さま連れもオススメです。

Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
Ushibuka Haiya Bridge is a hidden gem, accessible by car or bicycle, offering a secluded beach experience even in the peak of summer. It was featured in the NHK series Musashi and is known for sea turtles nesting from May to June. The bridge offers stunning views of fishing boats and liners. Additionally, it's illuminated during special events like the Amakusa Romantic Fantasy, making it a picturesque sight.
(Translated by Google) As of February 10, 2020 (around noon), it is possible to pass, although there are some places where one-way traffic is alternate. I came to cross the Ushibuka Haiya Ohashi Bridge, so I was happy to be able to drive through it. (Original) 令和7年2月10日(昼頃)時点では、片道交互通行の場所もあるけれど通行可能。 牛深ハイヤ大橋を渡るために来たので、車で通れて満足。

(Translated by Google) It's quite an unusual bridge. You never get bored of looking at its beautiful curves. Located below this bridge on the second floor of Ushibuka Roadside Station is a large fishing restaurant called "Aosa." The sesame yellowtail bowl was absolutely delicious. The yellowtail sashimi is generously marinated in a sweet sauce similar to sesame miso, topped with an egg yolk and eaten by crumbling it. The sauce is a little on the sweet side, so it tastes really good when you put a little bit of wasabi on the yellowtail. It's absolutely delicious. Next to it is the terminal for the ferry that runs between Ushibuka and Kuranomoto (Kagoshima). (Original) なかなか珍しい橋です。 曲線美が見ていて飽きない。 この大橋の下にある道の駅うしぶかの2階にある、「あおさ」という大漁食堂。 ゴマぶり丼という丼がめっちゃ美味かった。 ブリの刺身をゴマ味噌のような、甘みのあるタレにたっぷり漬けにして卵の黄身を載せ、崩しながら食べる。少し甘めのタレなので、ワサビを少しずつブリに乗っけて食べるとちゃんときく〜。 これは絶品です。 隣は牛深〜蔵の元(鹿児島)を結ぶフェリーの発着場です。

(Translated by Google) A very unique sea bridge. Not only does it curve like an arch, but the road that crosses over to Shimosujima extends from the middle of the bridge, and it is unusual for there to be an intersection with a traffic light in the middle of the bridge. It looks beautiful lit up, but unfortunately I only went by during the day. (Original) なかなかユニークな海上橋。 弓なりに曲線を描いているだけでなく、その真ん中あたりから下須島へ渡る道路が伸びており、橋の途中に信号機付きの交差点があるところが珍しい。 ライトアップもきれいなようだが、残念ながら私は昼間にしか通らなかった。

(Translated by Google) This 883m-long bridge is located in Ushibuka, Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture. To those unfamiliar with it, you'd think it's a bridge connecting Amakusa Shimoshima and Shimosugashima, but it actually spans Ushibuka Bay. Apparently it was designed by the renowned Italian architect Renzo Piano, and its exquisitely beautiful curves stand out beautifully against the blue sky. It's also been selected as one of the New 100 Views of Kumamoto. (Although, with "New" and 100 views, most views are sure to be included...) At the eastern end is Ushibuka Kaisaikan Roadside Station, where you can see the bridge from directly below. (Original) 熊本県天草市牛深にある長さ883mの橋。 知らない人から見れば天草下島と下須島を結ぶための橋だと思う処だが、どちらかというと牛深湾を跨ぐ橋。 何でも偉いイタリアの建築家レンゾ・ピアノさんが設計したとのことで、確かにカーブのラインが絶妙に美しく青空によく映える。新くまもと百景にも選ばれているとのこと。(「新」で且つ100もあれば大抵の景観は入るだろうが…) 東側の端には道の駅うしぶか海彩館があり橋を直下から見ることができる。

If you assume that they are all on the same island, it will be a very difficult drive. Many of the national roads on the island have one lane in each direction, so if you get stuck in a traffic jam, you won't be able to get out.

Oe Tenshudo Church, located on Shimoshima island in Amakusa, is a stunning Romanesque-style church built in 1933. Perched atop a hill, it offers breathtaking views of the lush green landscape below and the ocean beyond. The church's interior resembles that of Sakitsu village's Catholic church and features an exhibition of paintings depicting the Passion of Christ. Despite being part of a world heritage site, it remains a peaceful and quiet attraction with few tourists.
It’s situated on a beautiful hill overlooking the ocean. The church decor is very humble and beautiful.

Oe Cathedral (大江天主堂, Oe Tenshudo) is one of the first churches built after the 250-year-old ban on Christianity was lifted in 1973. The present building with its Romanesque-style architecture was completed in 1933 by Father Louis Garnier using his money and contributions from local Christians. Originally from southern France, he spent 50 years in Amakusa after being appointed as the chief priest in 1892. He lived the same poor life as the villagers of that time, preached in the Amakusa dialect, and died here without ever returning to his hometown.

Tomioka Castle, built in 1602 and ruled by Terasawa Shimankami Hirotaka, played a significant role in the Shimabara Rebellion. The castle is accessible from the Ninomaru area and offers a well-maintained interior with a grassy garden leading to the castle. The surrounding sea views make it a natural fortress. Visitors can also explore the museum showcasing homemade crafts and learn about the history related to the rebellion.

(Translated by Google) It was even more beautiful than I expected and I was impressed. The ruins of Tomioka Castle were built in 1602 by Terazawa Hirotaka, the lord of the Karatsu domain, as a base for ruling Amakusa. The castle came under fierce attack during the Shimabara-Amakusa Rebellion but survived, and was subsequently renovated to become the political and economic center of Amakusa. Today, the stone walls and moat are well maintained, allowing you to stroll around and get a sense of its former glory. From the remains of the main citadel, you can enjoy spectacular views overlooking the Tomioka Peninsula, Tomioka Pine Grove, and the sea, and it's a popular spot for its beautiful sunsets. We also recommend learning about the history of the castle and the background to the rebellion at the adjacent visitor center and history museum. This is a must-see for history buffs, as well as those who just want to enjoy the scenery. The location it's in is great!✨️ (Original) 思ったよりもとても綺麗で感激。 富岡城跡は、1602年に唐津藩主・寺沢広高が築いた天草支配の拠点。 島原・天草一揆では激しい攻撃を受けたが落城せず、その後も改修されて天草の政治・経済の中心となりました。 現在は石垣や堀がよく整備され、往時の姿を感じながら散策できます。 本丸跡からは富岡半島や富岡松原、海を見渡す絶景が広がり、夕景も美しい人気スポット。 隣接するビジターセンターや歴史資料館で、城の歴史や一揆の背景を学ぶのもおすすめです。 歴史好きはもちろん、景色を楽しみたい人にも立ち寄ってほしい場所です。 建ててある場所がとてもいい✨️

I was able to find a parking lot behind the shrine right away, but since it is combined with a paid parking lot, I wondered if this was the right place. I was worried. If you proceed with the spirit of Antonio Inoki, ``Go without hesitation. You'll understand if you go.'' You'll know the place. The parking lot is at the back of the shrine, so once you enter the shrine grounds, just walk past it, go to the front, and then head back into the shrine grounds. This shrine is said to have been dedicated to a branch spirit from Suwa Taisha, so the main shrine's deity is...

(Translated by Google) I was able to pay my respects. When I arrived at Hondo Suwa Shrine, I wandered around the area not knowing where to park, but I found a spacious parking lot behind the main hall (free for worshippers). The grounds are large, so if you are visiting as a tourist and would like to take your time looking around and worshiping, I recommend you allow around 30 minutes for your stay. I visited in early April, and the grounds were decorated with carp streamers. I looked around the large grounds and then headed to the shrine office to receive a goshuin (a donation of money), and they helped me right away.

(Translated by Google) Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture I stopped here when I visited Amakusa. It was raining quite a bit, and the roads were a bit narrow in places. I left it to the navigation system and arrived at a place I wasn't sure was the shrine's parking lot or not. It said it was a paid parking lot, but... I wasn't sure, but I could see the gate, so I parked there anyway. It had been raining quite a bit up until then, but the rain stopped when I got out of the car, so maybe the timing was good. Well, I do like seeing the beautiful green of the trees when it's raining, though. The parking lot was behind the shrine, so it seems I parked in the right place. It might be a little hard to find if you're visiting for the first time. Maybe it was a weekday, but there were no worshippers there, so I was able to visit quietly. The moss growing on the trees and stones is so beautiful! I read somewhere that moss looks most beautiful after a rain, so this is the perfect time to see it! 🎵 The komainu on the back approach are also covered in moss, blending in with their surroundings... It's so tasteful. There's a pond and a bridge... The hydrangeas and the moss covering them are truly mystical. The air is crisp and cool, creating a cozy space. And the komainu on the approach in front of the main shrine... This is my second time seeing komainu holding a baby since returning home. The first time was at Shioya Hachiman Shrine And then at Hondo Suwa Shrine. Are there a lot of komainu holding babies in Kumamoto? Or is it just a coincidence? It seems that komainu holding babies vary by region, with some referring to them as "kotori" (child-carrying), "kodaki" (child-holding), "koha" (child-carrying), and "koha" (child-carrying). This one is completely holding a baby close to its chest, so it's called "kodaki" (child-holding). Child-holding is truly rare, and I've never seen one in Kansai. My mom was a little taken aback when I got all excited in front of the lion statues (lol). I gave a passionate speech about how each lion statue has its own unique characteristics and there are so many different types, but she just ignored me with a nod (lol). They only had pre-written goshuin stamps, so I got one of those. Oh, by coincidence, Shioya Hachimangu Shrine also said that you can put your donation in the offering box if you want a goshuin stamp. It's not a particularly big shrine, but I imagine it gets lively with locals on New Year's Day and other special occasions. By the way, the lion statue holding its baby... I was so excited that I forgot to take a picture!!!! It was in the full-length photo, but when I enlarged it, it was blurry and hard to see (sobs). So I guess this means I'll have to come back, so I'll stop by when I visit my hometown! The restroom was in the parking lot behind the shrine. (Original) 熊本県天草市 天草に行った時に寄りました。 雨が結構降ってたし道中は少し道が狭い所もあったり ナビに任せて到着した所は果たして神社の駐車場なのかどうなのか? 有料とか書いてあるけど… よくわからなかったけど門が見えてたのでとりあえず駐車しました。 ここまでは結構な雨が降ってたのに車を降りたら雨が止んだのでタイミング的に良かったかも まぁうちは雨が降ってる時の木々の美しい緑を見るのも好きですけどね〜 駐車場は神社の裏側となっていたので停めた場所で合ってたみたいです。 ちょっと初めて来たら駐車場わかり難いかも? 平日だったからか参拝してる人は誰も居らず静かに参る事が出来ました。 木々や石に生える苔がなんとも素敵〜 苔は雨上がりが1番美しく見えると何処かで読んだ事があるので苔を見るには最高のシチュエーション🎵 裏参道の狛犬にも周りと同化するように苔が… 味わい深いですねぇ 池があり橋があり… 紫陽花に周りを覆う苔の神秘的な美しさ 空気は凛として冷ややかで居心地の良い空間です。 そして社殿前の参道の狛犬… 子を抱えてる狛犬は帰省してから2度目の拝見になります。 1度目は塩屋八幡宮で そして本渡諏訪神社と 熊本には子抱きが多いのかな?たまたまかな? 子を抱えてる狛犬は子取り、子抱き、子持ち、子連れと地域により様々あるみたいです。 こちらは完全に子を胸に抱いているので子抱きと言われているんですねぇ ほんと子抱きは大変珍しくて関西ではお目にかかった事は無いです。 うちが狛犬の前で1人興奮してたので母がちょっと引いてました(笑) 狛犬ってそれぞれに特徴があって色んなのがあるねんでって熱弁したけどふーんって感じで流されたし(笑) 御朱印は書き置きしか無かったのでそちらを頂きました。 あっそーいえば偶然なのか塩屋八幡宮もこちらも御朱印はお気持ちで賽銭箱にお願いしますと言われました。 そんなに大きな神社ではないけど元旦や行事事の時には地元の方が多く集まって賑わうのでしょうねぇ ちなみに子抱き狛犬… うっかり興奮し過ぎて写真撮るの忘れてしまったぁ!!!! 全体を写した写真で写ってたけど引き伸ばしたらボヤけてさっぱり見えん(泣 なのでこれはまたおいでって事だと思うので帰省した時に寄りたいと思います! トイレは裏側駐車場の所にありました。

Myoken-ura is a stunning sea cliff located on the west coast of Amakusa Shimojima, Kumamoto Prefecture. The cliffs, reaching heights of up to 100m and stretching for about 4km, are adorned with islands of various sizes that touch the shore. Notably, there is a large island featuring a cave that measures 20m high, 8.5-20m wide, and extends back 50m deep.
Good diving, great snorkelling, table corals, pretty fish, nice double beach-rocky. Sunsets, cherry blossoms, bbq's. See from above vantage road going to Jusanbutsu park. Sparkling!!

Nature & Parks
Jusanbutsu Park is a must-visit destination in Amakusa, offering breathtaking views of the sunset and other spectacular scenery. The park features an observation deck, plaza, parking lot, and restrooms for visitors' convenience. It's also home to the famous Elephant Rock with its distinctive features resembling an elephant. Additionally, visitors can admire the stunning combination of the deep blue ocean, white sand, and emerald green beach all at once.
(Translated by Google) 2023/07 visit Due to my job, I have some confidence that I have seen more scenery around the country than most people, but I don't remember many places where I could see the deep blue ocean and the white sand and emerald green beach almost at the same time. Rather than that, I think it's probably my first time here. The place name ``Amakusa'' has been registered as a World Heritage Site, and many people who have had the opportunity to learn about its history know about it, but I feel that there are still very few people who are actually interested in it and come from afar. Kumamoto! Speaking of this, the first things that come to mind for people from far away are Kumamoto Castle, Aso, Kumamon, horse meat...then Minamata disease, Aki Yashiro...I think it's Shiro Amakusa, right? yes! The focus is often on the man named Shiro Amakusa, and the world heritage churches are only introduced in connection with that. If the Kumamoto of the mountains is Aso, then the Kumamoto of the sea should be Amakusa, but because the focus is always on the Aso Caldera, which is rare even in the world, Kumamoto of the sea never sees the light of day. However, it is no exaggeration to say that the sea of ​​Amakusa is the westernmost sea that can be visited only by land from Honshu, and its beauty is unparalleled even within mainland Kyushu. In particular, you can see the ocean from this park, and you can even see the Goto Islands in the distance. If you look back, you can see the deep blue ocean of the East China Sea, and even the emerald green white sand of Hakutsuru Beach. What's more, if you choose the time of day, the sunset is spectacular, so it wouldn't be surprising if this park became more well-known throughout the country. I don't think my writing and photography skills can convey even half of its charm, so if you are interested, please come and see it for yourself. If I had to say one selfish thing, it would be “I want to go camping in this park!” (lol) It may be a natural sight for people living in Amakusa, but it is also a spectacular sight for people coming from far away... or even for people coming from nearby Kyushu. (Original) 2023/07訪問 仕事柄もあり普通の人達よりは全国各地で様々な景色を見て来た自信が多少なりともある私ですが、遠望できる紺碧の大海原と白砂エメラルドグリーンのビーチをほぼ同時に眺める事の出来る場所はあまり記憶がない。 と言うよりも、恐らくはここが初めての様に思う。 「天草」と言う地名は世界遺産に登録された事もあり、歴史でも学ぶ機会のある多くの人が知る場所ではあるが、実際に興味を持って遠方から訪れる人はまだまだ少ない様に思う。 熊本!と言えば遠方の人が思い浮かべるのはまずは熊本城、阿蘇、くまモン、馬肉...次いで水俣病、八代亜紀...と同列ぐらいで天草四郎ではないだろうか? そう!天草四郎という人物がフォーカスされる事が多く、そこに絡めるように世界遺産の教会群が紹介される程度でしかない。 山の熊本が阿蘇であるならば、海の熊本は天草であるはずが、世界的に見ても珍しい阿蘇カルデラの方ばかり強調されてしまうため、海の熊本はどうしても日の目が見えない。 しかしながら、天草の海は本州からでも陸路のみで訪れる事が可能な最西端の海と言っても過言ではない立地で、その美しさは九州本土内でも比類のないものがある。 特にこの公園から見える海は、遠く五島列島も見えるのでは?と思えるような紺碧の東シナ海の大海原に、振り返れば白砂エメラルドグリーンの白鶴浜まで見る事が出来る。 おまけに時間帯を選べば夕陽も抜群と言うのだから、もっと全国に知られても全く不思議ではない公園です。 私の文章力、撮影力ではその魅力の半分も伝えられていない事と思うので、興味を持っていただけたら是非、ご自身の目で見に来てほしいと思う。 1つだけわがままを言わせてもらうなら「この公園でキャンプがしてみたい!」です(笑) 天草の人にとっては当然の景色かもしれませんが、遠方から来る人にとって...いや、近場の九州内から来る人にとっても見応えのある場所です。

(Translated by Google) One of the eight scenic sunset views of Amakusa, it's a fairly accessible spot. However, it seems somewhat neglected. The path from the parking lot to the observation deck is overgrown with weeds, and a bunch of strange bugs jump all over me, making me itch. The parking lot is large and free, and there are public restrooms, which is a plus. (Original) 天草夕陽八景之一,算方便抵達的景點。惟此處似乎疏於整理,從停車場前往觀景台的沿路,雜草叢生,一堆奇奇怪怪的蟲子往身上跳,亂癢一把的。停車場超級大且無料,且有公共廁所,這點也算加分。

(Translated by Google) It is located a little way from the Amakusa West Coast Sunset Line road. If the weather had been sunny, the view would have been nice, but it's a shame. It is said that the temple got its name from the Jusanbutsu Hall nearby. There are monuments of poems by Tekkan Yosano and Akiko Yosano. You can see Myokenura from here. There are also rocks that look like elephants. You can see Hakutsuruhama Beach from the nearby parking lot.

(Translated by Google) It's really beautiful when you look at the sea. The scenery at sunset and dusk is extremely beautiful. You can enjoy watching the direction of the sunset change depending on the time of year. The most beautiful setting is around the summer solstice, when the sun sets near the rocks to the northwest. (Original) 海を眺めると凄く綺麗です。夕陽や夕暮れ時の景色が物凄く綺麗です。 時期によって夕陽が沈む方向が変わる様子が楽しめます。 夏至の頃、北西寄りに岩のある辺りに沈むのが一番美しいでしょう。

Exhibit
Specialty Museums
The Goshoura Cretaceous Museum, also known as the Amakusa City Goshoura Dinosaur Island Museum, is a delightful destination for dinosaur enthusiasts and families alike. Recently renovated in March 2024, this charming museum showcases an impressive collection of fossils, including Japan's first tyrannosaurid mandible and the teeth of a sea lizard. With two floors to explore, visitors can easily immerse themselves in the fascinating world of dinosaurs without feeling overwhelmed.
The museum is small and there weren’t any visitors at the time that I visited, but I think the exhibits are pretty cool. And most importantly you get to find your own fossils and equipment rental is free! Isn’t that amazing! We arrived at the museum a bit late because we didn’t check the ferry timing properly, so we didn’t have much time to look for the fossils. But we had so much fun and found many fossils! A great place to spend the weekends with friends and family.

Underwhelming and lacking in interest. The curators need to take a working holiday to the Natural History museum in London to get some ideas on how to make a museum come to life. It's a shame because it could be so much better! This is supposed to be the flagship Geopark site. Granted, it's a difficult sell but you can do a lot better!

Rick B — Google review
(Translated by Google) This was my first visit to the museum. I had heard that dinosaur fossils had been discovered in Amakusa, so I took the ferry to Goshoura on a drive to Amakusa. I was impressed with the many exhibits at the exhibition facility, including various dinosaur fossils, the geology and topography of Amakusa, etc. I wonder if such dinosaurs actually existed, but there is no doubt that dinosaurs existed at that time. I thought the various fossils were wonderful. It was a facility I would like to visit again. I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone interested in dinosaurs and fossils. The admission fee to the museum is a reasonable 500 yen. It is easy for children to enter. (Original) 博物館初めて訪問しました。以前より、天草は恐竜の化石が発見されている、と聞いていましたが、今回天草ドライブで御所浦に連絡船に乗って行って来ました。展示施設では様々な恐竜の化石や天草の地質、地形などの展示品がたくさんあって、感心しました。実際にこんな恐竜がいたのか?疑問に私は感じますが、間違いなく、その時期に恐竜がいたのでしょうね。さまざまな化石が素晴らしいと思いました。また再訪したい施設でした。恐竜や化石などに興味がある人には是非おすすめの施設だと思います。博物館の入場料は500円で安い設定ですね。子供達も入りやすい。

(Translated by Google) It takes 30-45 minutes (45 minutes by car ferry) by shared ferry from Tanasoko Port, Daido Port, Hondo Port, or Minamata (Hyakken) Port to Goshoura Port, and then about a 1-minute walk from there (right in front of Goshoura Port). Sea taxis are also available at some ports. Advance reservations are required, so online reservations are required. Admission fees are 500 yen for adults, 300 yen for high school and university students, and 200 yen for elementary and junior high school students. This beautiful three-story museum, renovated in March 2024, welcomes you with a realistic Tyrannosaurus Rex that looks ready to pounce on you at any moment. The first and second floors are the permanent exhibition, and the third floor is an observation deck with views of Goshoura Port. The permanent exhibition displays approximately 2,000 specimens, including precious fossils discovered in the Amakusa region and complete skeletons of dinosaurs from around the world. In particular, there are around 650 fossils discovered in Amakusa, and the collection is truly impressive. (There are also many bivalves with names like Goshoraia and Amaxensis!) Even if you're just interested, you should be able to see everything in about two hours. The museum shop has some small merchandise for souvenirs. (The catalogue is apparently still in the works...) (Original) 棚底港、大道港、本渡港、水俣(百間)港から共同フェリーで30-45分(カーフェリーの場合45分)で御所浦港に渡り、徒歩1分ほどの場所にあります。(御所浦港目の前)。 港によっては、海上タクシーもあるようです。 事前予約制なので、来館の場合ネット予約必須です。 観覧料は、一般500円、高/大学生300円、小学生・中学生200円になります。 2024年3月にリニューアルされた3F建てのとてもキレイな博物館です。博物館の前には、今にも飛び掛かってきそうな、リアルなティラノサウルスがお迎えしてくれます。 1F、2Fは常設展、3Fは展望デッキになっており、御所浦港が望めます。 常設展では天草地域で発見された貴重な化石を中心に世界の恐竜の全身骨格なども含め、約2,000点の標本が展示されています。特に天草で見つかった化石は650点ほどあるようで、この充実度は圧巻ですね。(ゴショライア、アマクセンシス等の名前を冠した二枚貝も多数あります!) 興味ある方でも2時間ほどあれば、見て回れると思います。 ミュージアムショップは、ちょっとしたグッズがあるのでお土産にどうぞ。(図録はまだ作成中の模様・・・)

(Translated by Google) We crossed over by boat from the bottom of the shelves. I didn't have high expectations, but the building was modern and stylish, and the exhibits were very numerous and beautifully and carefully displayed, so I was very satisfied❗️ Please note that you can't go inside unless you make a reservation online (?) in advance. There seemed to be a limit on the number of people. It was during the summer vacation period, so there were a lot of families there. Looking at the models of dinosaur bones, I thought to myself how glad I am to be born in the present day. Lol (Original) 棚底から船で渡り行きました。それほど期待してなかったのですが、建物が近代的かつお洒落で展示物もとても品数多く綺麗に丁寧に飾られておりとても満足度が高かったです❗️ 事前にウェブ(?)予約をしないと中は入れないので要注意です。人数制限されているみたいでした。夏休み期間中だったのでファミリー層が多かったです。 恐竜の骨の模型を見ながら現代に生まれてて良かったと思いました。笑笑

(Translated by Google) It was Obon, so there were a lot of people! 💦 Taking the special ferry instead of the regular one is faster and much more convenient! ️ The museum is within walking distance (directly in front) of the dock, so if you want to explore the island, it might be better to drive there. The museum proudly displays and explains the dinosaurs that lived on Amakusa, but I think it would be better if the whole island was more involved. Without anything else, all you do is visit the museum, go excavating, and then go home... With the ocean and mountains, it's best to make full use of all the available facilities, such as diving, snorkeling, SUP, kayaking, campsites, and pleasure fishing boats. It's a waste to not use them. For example, partnering with a guesthouse or inn and visiting excavation sites in the mountains would be fun. For example, maybe staying at a lodge for a limited time? For example, maybe kayaking around the island and fishing. There's no end to the possibilities... I hope they'll get excited about it with younger, more contemporary ideas!! ️ (Original) お盆ともあり、多かったぁー💦 普通のフェリーより臨時便を使った方が、早し、しかもかなり親切‼️ 博物館は、船乗り場からすぐ(正面)徒歩で行ける距離なので、島を散策したい方は、車を乗り入れた方がいいかもしれない。 博物館には、天草にいた恐竜を、展示説明してあり、誇らしいが、ここだけじゃなくもっと島全体で盛り上がった方がいいかと思われる。 他に何もないと博物館と発掘をして帰るのみなので… 海、山があるので、ダイビング、シュノーケリング、SUP、カヤック、キャンプ場、遊漁船など、使えるものは、大活用した方がいいし、宝の持ち腐れである。 例えば、どこかの民宿、旅館と提携して山の中にある発掘場所に行く。なんてのも楽しいと思う。 例えば、限定でロッジに宿泊とか。 例えば、島回りをカヤックで、釣りをしながら回るとか。 考えたらきりがないが… もっと若く、今の時代にあった考えで、盛り上がってほしい‼️

You can also try fossil collecting for an additional fee 🦴 (Original) 天草棚底港ターミナルから船で御所浦島に😊 事前にネットから予約制みたいですけど私は御所浦島に向かってる船の中で予約を取りました🛥️平日だった事もあって人も少なく入場の際、予約確認はなくスムーズに入れました笑 展示スペースはそんなに広くないけど、料金はそんなに高くないので妥当だと思います! 別料金が掛かりますけど化石の採集体験が出来ます🦴

Fishing pond
Barbecue area
(Translated by Google) My first fishing pond. I got 2 in 2 hours. It was great to receive another one as a bonus. There are times when you can catch fish and times when you can't, but the sea is beautiful and soothing. Since we are going to the island, we wave the flag from the parking lot and a boat will come to pick us up. There were a lot of cats, and the kids were happy. If you catch a fish, you can take it home for free, so it feels like a win. Although the price is high, there are also sea bream, blue fish, and crabs. We had 3 sea bream. You can also rent fishing rods, and even if you're a beginner, you don't have to worry because the auntie and older brother will carefully teach you. It might be a good idea to learn from a regular uncle. At other places, if you catch a fish, you have to buy it back, so it's very expensive. Even amateurs can catch fish if they learn (ꈍᴗꈍ) As for the price, you can make a reservation at Jalan. It's a little less expensive, but the service is cheap, so it might be better to make a reservation. I always make reservations for Jalan's occasional discounted tickets. I'll go cheap. Fishing is all about waiting patiently (◕ᴗ◕✿) Don't get irritated and relax. (Original) 初めての釣り堀。2時間で2匹ゲットしました。オマケでもう1匹頂き最高でした。釣れる時と、そうでないときはありますが、海が綺麗で、癒やされますよ。 島に行くので、駐車場から旗を振ったら船が迎えにきます。 猫も沢山いて、子供たちは喜んでました。釣ったら無料で持って帰れるので得した気分です。 値段は高いけど、鯛や青魚、カニとかもいるらしいです。 私たちは鯛3匹でした。 釣り竿もレンタル出来るし、初心者でも、おばちゃんやお兄さんが丁寧に教えてくれるから安心ですよ。常連のおじちゃんに習うのもいいかもです。 他の所は釣り上げたら買取になるので、めっちゃ高くなります。 素人でも、習えば釣れますよ( ꈍᴗꈍ) 料金ですが、じゃらんで予約出来るので そちらが少しですが、安くサービスもあるので、予約した方が良いかもです。 私はいつも予約していき、じゃらんのたまにある割引チケット?で安く行きます。 釣りは気長に待つことです(◕ᴗ◕✿) イライラせずのんびりしましょう。

(Translated by Google) There are two temporary toilets in the parking lot, and a boat will come to pick you up at the fishing pond. I think it was only able to accommodate 10 people!! The captain was kind and even a 2-year-old child enjoyed the ride🎶 When we arrived at the fishing pond, an older woman came to guide us in a loud voice, saying, "Check in! Check in quickly!" She quickly explained how to dig for clams and was so busy that I couldn't understand what she was guiding us about. She was shouting so much that I couldn't hear what she was saying. Well, I guess she wanted us to dig for clams quickly because of the tides😅. Digging for clams was a lot of fun! They also lent us a shovel and a container for digging for clams, and on the way back we put seawater and clams in a styrofoam bag and took them home (it costs money for everything). There was no shower, so we bought water from a vending machine to wash our feet! There were a lot of cats breeding and they were cute, but I guess they smelled a bit strong. It was good that the kids had fun. (Original) 駐車場には2つの仮設トイレがあって 釣り堀までは🚢船が迎え来てくれる。定員は10人までだったかな!!船長さんは優しい方で2歳の子供でも楽しんで乗れてた🎶 釣り堀着いたらいきなり受付して!早く受付して!とおばさんが大きい声で案内してきて、 貝堀りの説明もさっさとやって何をそんな焦って案内してるのか分からんくらいバタバタさせられた。内容も全く聞こえんくらい叫んでた。まあ確かに潮の満ち干きの関係で早く貝堀りさせたかったのかな😅と。 貝堀りはめっちゃ楽しかった!貝堀り用のスコップと入れ物も貸してもらえて、帰りは発泡スチロールに海水とアサリ入れて持って帰れる(全部料金かかるけど) シャワーみたいなのはないから自販機で水買って足とか洗った! 猫がめっちゃ繁殖してて可愛いけど臭いがきつかったかな。子供は楽しんでたからよかった。

(Translated by Google) The rod comes with bait (paste bait, krill, millet eel), so you don't have to worry about going empty-handed. Even a beginner like me can enjoy it quite a bit. I'm grateful that even if I didn't catch a sea bream, I was given a sea bream (^people^).The shape was good, and the sashimi, carpaccio, and salt soup were delicious. However, there were a couple of staff members who were very noisy and I didn't feel comfortable listening to their conversations with other fishing customers. Unfortunately, I will deduct points for that. (Original) 竿に、えさ(練り餌、オキアミ、キビナゴ)も付いてるので手ぶらで行って大丈夫。ビギナーの私でもかなり楽しめます。釣れなくても鯛1匹持たせてくれるのは有り難い(^人^) 型がよくて刺身、カルパッチョ、潮汁など美味しくいただきました。ただ、スタッフの中には口うるさく騒がしい方が2名ほどいて他の釣り客との会話を聞いてるといい気分ではありませんでした。残念ですが、その分は減点で。

(Translated by Google) I went without a reservation (ФωФ*) The person at the hotel I stayed at told me that it was okay to go without a reservation. Well, as expected, there were too many people on Sundays during summer vacation, so I went on the following Monday, which was a holiday. If you press the call button in the parking lot or wave the blue flag installed, a boat from the offshore fishing pond will come to pick you up (ФωФ*) When we arrived, there were so many cats and they were so cute! Just tell the number of people at the reception desk, get a ticket with a start time written on it, enjoy fishing as much as you like, and pay at the end. This time, I borrowed a rod and bait, so I was almost empty-handed, and all I brought with me was a neck cooler, a bottle of barley tea, my smartphone, a towel, and my wallet (ФωФ*) (lol) Clothes include a hat, sun protection, long-sleeved cool shirt (workman), G pants, and regular athletic shoes. Quite lightly dressed. Based on my experience, I think it would be a good idea to have a chair to sit on, a fish hook, a hook remover, plenty of drinks, and a cooler box (if you can sit on it, use it instead of a chair) to keep the drinks cold. This time, I didn't bring a cooler box with me because I was planning to send the fish via cool courier service if I caught it on my trip. (ФωФ*) When you arrive at the raft at the fishing spot, renting a rod and carrying a tray of bait, the staff will kindly and friendly teach you how to attach bait and how to use the rod. So, on my first cast, I caught a large red sea bream from the beginner's rack, and as I was flopping around, a customer next to me put it in for me (lol) (ФωФ*) The staff took care of removing the hook, putting it in a scarf, and tying it to the raft (lol) (ФωФ*) After that, I was aiming for another one, but after catching a small scorpionfish (locally known as garakabu, aracabu, etc.) several times, I released it. Anyway, it was hot and hot, and it lasted for about 3 and a half hours, but in the second half I fed the cat that came to the raft and let him pet the leftover food, but it was exhausting, and the only drink I had with me was already gone, and I was getting tired of going to the vending machine in front of the office to buy something, so I ended up catching a rockfish at the end, so that's all for now (ФωФ*) (ФωФ*)...I think it would be fun to bring tulle and some cat food separately and play with the many cats. There's also a cute little cat. I put down my rod, took the fish I caught, and returned to the office to get ready to go home. The staff squeezed the sea bream and packed it in a Styrofoam box with ice. During that time, I bought a drink from the vending machine in front of the office and gulped it down, washed my hands at the washroom, and calmed down a bit, but I was all sweaty (lol) (ФωФ*) After that, when I went to Kumamoto and went to a super public bath and took a sauna, I thought, ``Ah, this heat is similar to today's heat at the offshore fishing pond (ФωФ*;)''. It was a very hot day. There is also a toilet near the office. I took the boat back to the parking lot and was allowed to use the restroom there. This toilet doesn't have a hand washing area, so it might have been better to stay near the office (lol) This was my first experience at an offshore fishing pond, but the staff were very friendly, the customers around me were nice, and the cats were cute.If it wasn't for the ridiculously hot weather, I might have stayed longer (lol) (ФωФ*) Anyway, it was a fun experience! Once we got to the national highway, we drove for a while to the left (toward Amakusa) and there was Yamato Transport, so we shipped the fish to our hometown. I would like to come again next year. I want to catch more fish next time! (Original) 予約無しで行きました(ФωФ*)宿泊したホテルの方のお話で予約無しでも大丈夫だと。 ま、さすがに夏休みの日曜日は人が多すぎるので、お休みだった翌 月曜日に行きました。 駐車場にある呼び出しボタンを押すか、据付てある青い旗を振ると海上釣り堀の方からボートで迎えに来てくれます(ФωФ*) 到着するとなんと、猫がたくさんいてすごくかわいい! 受け付けで人数を言ってスタート時間を書いたチケットをもらって好きなだけ釣りを楽しんでから最後に精算です。 今回は、竿もエサも借りてほぼ手ぶら、持って行ったのは首掛けクーラーとペットボトルの麦茶1本、スマホ、タオル一本と、財布という(ФωФ*)(笑) 服装は帽子と日焼け対策に長袖のクールシャツ(ワークマン)Gパンに普通の運動靴、 かなり軽装。 行ってきた感想では座るための椅子、魚ツカミ、針外し、飲み物は多めに、飲み物を冷たい状態で保つためにクーラーボックス(座れるタイプならそれを椅子代わりに)が他に有れば良いと思います。 今回は旅先で釣れたらクール宅急便で送るつもりだったのでクーラーボックスは現地には持っていかず。(ФωФ*) さて、竿を借りてエサのトレイを持ちながら釣り場の筏に着くとスタッフさんがエサの付け方、竿の使い方など親切かつフレンドリーに教えてくれます。 で、一投目でビギナーズラックで大きめの真鯛を釣り上げモタモタしてると隣りのお客さんがタモ入れてくれて(笑)(ФωФ*)針外しとスカリに入れて筏に縛るのはスタッフさんがやってくれて(笑)(ФωФ*) そのあと もう1匹を狙ってましたが カサゴ(現地ではガラカブ、アラカブなどの呼び名)の小さいのが何度かかかってリリース。 とにかく暑くて暑くて3時間半ほど粘りましたが、後半は筏に遊びに来てくれた猫に余ってるエサをあげて撫でさせてもらってましたが、体力消耗激しく、1本しか持ってなかった飲み物は既に無くなり、事務所前の自販機に買いに行くのも面倒になって来ていたので、最後にカサゴ釣れたのを機に今回はここまで(ФωФ*) (ФωФ*)……チュールと、別途猫エサ少し持って行って沢山いる猫と遊ぶのも楽しいと思います。ちっちゃい猫もいてかわいい。 竿を納めて、釣れた魚をスカリごと持って事務所前に戻り帰り支度、 鯛をスタッフさんが絞めて発泡スチロールの箱に氷と入れて梱包してくれました。 その間は僕は事務所前の自販機で飲み物買ってガブ飲みしつつ、手洗い場で手を洗い、少し落ち着いたのですが、とにかく全身汗だくで(笑)(ФωФ*) そのあと熊本に行ってからスーパー銭湯行ってサウナに入ってる時に、「ああ、この暑さ、海上釣り堀の今日の暑さに似てる(ФωФ*;)」と感じましたね。めちゃくちゃ暑い日でした。 事務所そばにもトイレはあるのですが、 僕はボートで駐車場に戻ってからそこにあるトイレを使わせてもらいました。 このトイレは手洗い場が無いので、事務所そばの方が良かったかも(笑) 今回初めての海上釣り堀体験でしたが、スタッフさんがとてもフレンドリーで、周りのお客さんも良い方にめぐまれ、猫もかわいく とんでもない暑さで無ければもっと長くいたかも(笑)(ФωФ*) とにかく 、楽しい体験でした! 梱包してもらったお魚は国道に出てから左側(天草方面)に向かってしばらく走るとヤマト運輸さんがあるので、そこで地元に発送させてもらいました。 来年もまた、来たいと思います。次はもっとたくさん釣りたい!

(Translated by Google) It's a fishing pond, but there's no guarantee that you'll catch fish. It cost a lot of money the first time, but I caught two fish. I didn't catch any fish the second time... There are a lot of cats. Be careful not to get baited! (Original) 釣り堀だけど絶対釣れるとは限らない。 1回目めっちゃお金かかって2匹は釣れたが 2回目は全く釣れず、、、 猫がいっぱい居ます。 餌取られないように注意してね!

(Translated by Google) I used it for clam hunting last year. There were designated areas for digging, and it was crowded with people. As soon as you dig, you'll find lots of clams. I took enough clams for two people to eat, but since it wasn't worth the take-out fee, they gave me some extra clams at the payment place. The staff were elderly and friendly, so I didn't feel particularly uncomfortable. The only thing I would like to see improved is the toilet, which was incredibly dirty and smelly. There were so many things stuck to it that I thought it hadn't been cleaned in years. Since this is a facility that handles edible food, I was concerned about the overall hygiene. (Original) 去年潮干狩りで利用しました。 掘る区画が決められており沢山の人で賑わっていました。 掘ってすぐあさりが沢山出てきます。 2人で食べるのに十分なほどあさりをとりましたが、持ち帰り料金の重さに満たないからと、支払い場所においてあるあさりを追加でくれます。 スタッフの方は年配の方でフレンドリーな感じで特にそれが不快とかなかったです。 ただ一点、改善して欲しいところがあり、トイレが信じられないほど汚く臭かったです。何年も掃除してないのでは、というくらい色々こびりついていました。 食べるものを扱う施設なので全体的な衛生面が心配になりました。

(Translated by Google) My husband and I went there together. The staff spoke to us so that even beginners could enjoy themselves, and they carefully taught us how to use the fishing rod! There were families with children and people who came with friends, but the staff spoke to all the customers so that they could somehow catch fish, and it was a very fun time with a friendly atmosphere! I would definitely like to go there again😊 Me → Beginner to fishing (almost my first time) ・ Rental of fishing rod ・ Purchase of bait (shrimp) My husband → Experienced fisherman ・ Bringing fishing equipment and bait We tried it, but I was able to catch two sea bream first, and with the help of the staff, my husband was able to catch sea bream and striped jack just in time! The staff told us about the best spots to catch fish, and we were allowed to enter the places where other customers were catching fish, so we were able to catch fish! Other customers were beginners and they were able to catch fish within a few minutes of starting, so it didn't seem to matter much to beginners or experienced people as other people have commented. The catch may vary depending on the number of people using the facility (whether you can move fishing spots, etc.). As a beginner, I thought it would be difficult to catch a lot in a short amount of time (I might not even be able to catch one), so I recommend checking the fees before using the facility. I was glad I went because I was able to experience fishing without bringing anything with me and the staff's kindness made it a lot of fun! (Original) 夫婦で利用させていただきました。 初心者でも楽しめるようにスタッフさんが声をかけてくださったり、釣竿の使い方等丁寧に教えてくださりました! お子さんを連れられたご家族や友だち同士で来られてる方などいらっしゃいましたが、 スタッフさんがお客さんみなさんになんとか釣れるように声をかけられてたりと、和気あいあいとした雰囲気でとても楽しい時間でした! また是非利用させていただきたいと思います😊 私→釣り初心者(ほぼ初めて)・釣竿レンタル・餌(エビ)購入 夫→釣り経験者・持参の釣道具一式と餌 で挑みましたが私が先に鯛2匹釣り上げることができて、夫もスタッフさんにご助力いただきながら時間ギリギリに鯛とシマアジを釣り上げることができました! スタッフさんが釣れそうなポイントを教えてくださったり、他のお客さんが釣れた場所に入らせていただいたりして釣ることができました! 他のお客さんも初心者の方が開始数分で釣り上げられたりしてたので他の方がコメントされてるような初心者・経験者はあまり関係ないように感じました。 利用されてる方の多さで釣果は変わることはあるかもしれないです。(釣る場所を移動できるか否か等) 初心者な私は、短時間でたくさん釣ることは難しそう(1匹も釣ることが出来ないかも)と思って挑んだので利用料金等確認して利用されることをおすすめします。 持参物無しで釣りが経験出来たこととスタッフさんのご対応だけで充分楽しめたので私は行ってよかったなと思いました!

Izakaya restaurant
Amakusa-mura is a delightful specialty store that showcases the best of Amakusa's local products, making it a must-visit stop for travelers exploring the area. Not only does it feature an impressive 15-meter statue of Amakusa Shiro—the largest in Japan—but it also offers breathtaking views of Amakusa Village. The atmosphere is inviting, and while some offerings like drink sets are limited to weekdays, visitors can still indulge in a variety of delicious dishes on weekends.
Always delicious and lively

(Translated by Google) I used it when I visited Amakusa for the first time on my trip! The store has a lively atmosphere with local groups 🎶 I was guided to the counter. All the dishes that were ordered and delivered were delicious 😋 Also, the staff's customer service speed and attentiveness were amazing! ! There is a paid parking lot adjacent to the parking lot, but I was also glad that it was actually free as I received a service ticket at the time of payment! ! I would like to use it again when I visit Amakusa! (Original) 旅行で初めて天草を訪れた際に利用しました! 店内は地元の団体客で賑やかな雰囲気🎶 カウンターに案内されました。 注文し運ばれて来た料理達はどれも美味しかったです😋 また店員さんの接客スピード、気配りもとても素晴らしかったです!! 駐車場は隣接する有料駐車場がありますが、会計の際にサービス券を頂けるので実質無料なのもありがたかったです!! また天草を訪れた際には利用させていただきたいと思います!

(Translated by Google) The hotel I was staying at recommended this place and I called just before my visit. Amakusa Daio is an izakaya that serves dishes using Amakusa Takarabaku pork. Amakusa Daio The grilled chicken wings I ordered had a firm texture. Amakusa Takarabaku Pork The pork is fattened in a pasture by Isobe Pig Farm in Ushibuka-cho, Amakusa City, and is apparently not given antibiotics. I ordered "pork cutlet". It was a little hard, but I could taste the deliciousness of the fat. Assorted sashimi 1,430 yen for one person, 2,530 yen for two people. The servings on the day included tuna, octopus, silver-striped herring, sea bream, amberjack, and koshiro. The sashimi is only served on the day of the meal, and is made from fish caught on the day of the meal. (Original) 宿泊したホテルから紹介され、訪問直前に電話して訪問。天草大王、あまくさ宝牧豚を使った料理を提供している居酒屋。 天草大王 注文した手羽先塩焼はしっかりした食感。 あまくさ宝牧豚 天草市牛深町の磯部養豚さんが放牧場で肥育している豚、抗生物質は使用していないそうです。「とんかつ」を注文。ややかためでしたが脂の旨味を感じました。 刺身盛り合わせ 1人前 1,430円、2人前 2,530円。当日の1人前は鮪、蛸、きびなご、鯛、かんぱち、このしろ。刺身は提供する当日に水揚げされた魚をその日限りで提供しているそうです。

(Translated by Google) Amakusa Village is a souvenir shop where I always buy souvenirs to take home when I come to Amakusa, so I was drawn in by the name and went in. I came here because I wasn't satisfied with the food at other izakayas, but the taste and presentation were just average. Given the name, I'd like to see the food and presentation improve if I come again! (Original) あまくさ村ってお土産屋さんで、いつも天草に来たらお土産買って帰っていたので、名前につられて入りました。 他の居酒屋で食べ足りずに来ましたが、味も盛り付けも普通でした。 名前が名前なので、次回があれば、料理や盛り付けに期待したいと思います!

(Translated by Google) There is not a wide variety of dishes, but The fish was fresh, and the Amakusa Daio chicken wings were plump and delicious. You can enjoy it at a reasonable price. They came right away when I called, and the staff had nice smiles. The facilities are a little old, but it feels like a typical izakaya. Many shops in Amakusa City were closed on Sundays, so I was very grateful. (Original) お料理の種類が豊富、ではありませんが お魚は新鮮でしたし、天草大王の手羽先もぷりぷりで美味しかったです。リーズナブルに楽しめます。 呼んだらすぐに来てくれましたし、笑顔が素敵なスタッフさんがいらっしゃいました。 設備は多少古いですが、一般的な居酒屋さん、という感じです。 日曜日は天草市内お休みのお店が多かったので、とてもありがたかったです。

(Translated by Google) After dolphin watching, it was time for other restaurants to close for lunch. I went to see if it was open and thought it would be nice to have lunch. There were only a few food options on the menu, but it was great because even elementary school children could choose what they wanted to eat. Amakusa Daio Yukke Don was delicious. He said the seafood bowl was also delicious. The miso soup was made with sea lettuce and was really delicious. If possible, I would like to visit the izakaya next time. (Original) イルカウォッチングの後で他のお店がランチ営業終わった時間。開いてるのを調べてお昼食べられたらと思い行きました。ご飯になるメニューは少しでしたが小学生の子供たちも食べたい物を選べたので良かったです。天草大王ユッケ丼美味しかったです。海鮮丼も美味しいと言ってました。味噌汁がアオサの味噌汁でとにかく美味しかったです。できれば次は居酒屋利用で伺えたらと思います。

天草ブルーガーデン is a restaurant located in a picturesque setting, offering a variety of delicious dishes. The popular choice among customers is the champon, available in both soy sauce and pork bone versions. The soup, with its light yet well-rounded flavor, leaves you wanting more with every sip. The specially ordered noodles made from tapioca powder have a delightful chewy texture that resembles crispy vegetables. It's an extraordinary culinary experience that tempts you to keep indulging.
(Translated by Google) I went to the Blue Garden yesterday, which was held only in the summer until November 26th! This year is my second visit. Vanini is the best! The champon was delicious and the smoothie was delicious too.Yesterday I even had Hawaiian fruit pancakes! Eh! I was surprised at how many fruits there were.Is this quality worth this price? That cheap price Everything was delicious! I want to eat Vanini Morita again. Of course, the scenery is also great! Nothing to say thank you very much. (Original) 夏季限定で開催していたブルーガーデンが11月26日までということで昨日行って来ました! 今年は、2回目の来訪です‥ バニーニ最高!チャンポンも美味しくてスムージーもおいしかったです‥昨日はハワイアンフルーツパンケーキまでいただきました!えー!と驚くフルーツたっぷりにびっくり、このクオリティでこの値段でいいんですか?という格安 すべておいしかった!又バニーニ森田食べたいな。 勿論景色も最高!でいうこと無し ありがとうございました。

There aren't many lunch option in this area, so this place is definitely appreciated. And the chanpon soup is pretty good.

(Translated by Google) I went there for the first time! This is a restaurant and cafe next to the Kinikaigaura Observatory. The second floor where the entrance is located is a cafe, and the first floor is a place to eat. Choose Amakusa Champon (^^) It was delicious and had lots of ingredients. Above all, the view is spectacular! ! ! In addition to the food, I think it's good to go to see the spectacular view. It's a difficult place to find, but I recommend it (^^) (Original) 初めて行きました! 鬼海ヶ浦展望所の横にある食堂&カフェです。 入り口のある2階がカフェ、1階が食事どころになっています。 天草ちゃんぽんをチョイス(^^) 具沢山で美味しかったです。 何より絶景!!! 料理もさることながら、絶景を眺めに行くのも良いと思います。 わかりにくい場所ですがオススメです(^^)

(Translated by Google) 2024/02 revisit The reviews for Amakusa Blue Garden were listed as ``Closed,'' but since the city is recruiting for new businesses, we applied to Google for ``Temporary Closure.'' It seems that Amakusa City is currently looking for a business operator. If you have the money, courage, wisdom, perseverance, and perseverance, the view is still so spectacular that I would like to name it. Someone please! I am! Good luck to all the individuals and corporations! I will support you unconditionally! According to the Amakusa City website, the annual rent is just under 450,000 yen! ...that's it! ? I would like to live there if possible, but is that okay? (lol) (As a local guide level 8, all I can do is appeal here.) By the way, although I don't often mention it, the toilet at the end of the parking lot is what is called a scenic toilet. Hario Park Aerial Observatory Restroom in Nagashima Town, Kagoshima Prefecture is famous among people like that, but this one is actually no different. Amakusa City should promote itself more! 2023/07 visit If you are coming from the Sakizu/Ushibuka direction, be careful not to miss the turn as you will have to turn left immediately after exiting the tunnel. The exterior looks a little tired, but this may be due to the windswept weather along the coast. However, the inside of the store is a stylish cafe, and they apparently host concerts on a regular basis. Eating pancakes while overlooking the distant horizon was the best! (Original) 2024/02再訪 天草ブルーガーデンの口コミが「閉業」と記載がされていましたが、市が新規営業の公募を募っている事から「臨時休業」とGoogle側に申請しました。 現在は天草市としてこちらの運営事業者を探しているそうな。 お金と勇気と知恵と根性と忍耐力があれば私が名乗りを挙げたいぐらいの素晴らしい眺望は相変わらずです。 誰か頼む!我こそは!という法人個人の皆様頑張ってくれ!無条件で応援します! 天草市のHPを見ると年間家賃は45万弱!...だと!? 可能なら住みたいのですがダメですか?(笑) (ローカルガイドレベル8程度の私にできる事はここでアピールする事ぐらいでスマン) 因みにあまり触れられないが、駐車場の先にあるトイレはいわゆる絶景トイレです。 鹿児島県長島町にある針尾公園空中展望トイレはその手の人間には有名だがこちらも実は全く負けていない。 その辺ももっとアピールしていいぞ天草市! 2023/07訪問 崎津・牛深方面からお越しの際はトンネルを出た直後に左折となるので見落とし注意。 外観は少しくたびれた感があるが海沿いの吹きっさらしの影響かもしれない。 しかしながら店内は洒落た感じのカフェで定期的に演奏会なども催しているらしい。 遥か水平線を見渡しながら食べるパンケーキは最高でした!

I had Hawaiian pancakes, but there were so many fruits that you couldn't even see the pancakes🍈🍍🍇🍑🍌 It was delicious 😋 I think this price is cheap! I was pretty full and satisfied 😊 After the meal, grab a drink and stroll around the Onikaigaura Observation Deck in the back👣 It was a really nice place✨ (Original) とにかく景色が最高過ぎました😍 お店の方も、話しやすくて、とっても感じが良かったです😊 ハワイアンパンケーキをいただきましたが、パンケーキが見えないくらいフルーツがたくさん🍈🍍🍇🍑🍌 美味しかったぁ〜😋 コレでこのお値段は安いと思う! かなり満腹満足でした😊 そして、食後はドリンク片手に裏の鬼海ケ浦展望所を散策👣 めちゃくちゃ素敵な所でした✨

(Translated by Google) While admiring the spectacular view, we ate Amakusa Champon made with delicious Amakusa Daio soup stock. The children, who usually eat little, ate them with great joy. I want to go again. I went again. a child Drink all the soup and the next day "Champon was always delicious." What he said was impressive. I'm definitely a repeat customer (^^) I wanted to order a different menu today, but my child loves Champon so I ate it while looking at the beautiful scenery. The sunset is also great. I also brought a friend from Hong Kong. He said, ``I'll definitely come here again with my friends.'' (^^) The shrimp tempura was also delicious. Apparently they use carrots, pumpkins, purple sweet potatoes, and green peas to make sentago, and I was surprised at how bright and colorful the natural colors could be. This is probably the only place in Amakusa where you can find brightly colored Sendago. (Original) 絶景を眺めながら、天草大王の美味しいダシを使った天草ちゃんぽんをいただきました。普段は少食の子供達が、大喜びで食べてました。また行きたいです。 また行ってきました。子供が スープを飲み干し、翌日 「ちゃんぽん、ずっと美味しかったね。」 と言ってたのが印象的でした。 完全にリピーターです(^^)今日は違うメニューを頼もうと思っても、子供がちゃんぽんが大好きで、またきれいな景色を眺めながらいただきました。夕陽も最高です。 また、香港からの友人を連れて行ってきました。「ここは友達連れて、絶対また食べに来る。」と言ってました(^^)海老の天ぷらも美味しかったです。せんだごは、人参、かぼちゃ、紫芋、グリーンピースを使ってらっしゃるそうで、自然の色でこんなに鮮やかでカラフルになるのに驚きました。天草で色鮮やかなせんだごが出てくるのは、おそらくここだけです。

(Translated by Google) Amakusa trip. I couldn't forget the Amakusa Champon that I ate on the first day, and I ended up at this restaurant looking for Amakusa Champon for lunch on the second day as well. It's a cafe with a very nice view. It was crowded as it was Golden Week, but I was able to be seated without having to wait that long. I was shown to a counter seat. The sea is right in front of you! I was able to eat while looking at a very pleasant view. Choose from two types of Amakusa Champon: tonkotsu and soy sauce. I had it with pork bone soup. It took a while for the food to be served as the restaurant was full, but the staff were courteous and accommodating. Children at the store? I was also trying my best to help! Champon with lots of ingredients was very delicious! After dinner, I went down to the sea from the terrace. Although the footing was poor, I enjoyed it. I saw a live sea urchin for the first time! Lots of small sea urchins on the rocks! I had some good memories♪ (Original) 天草旅行。1日目に食べた天草ちゃんぽんが忘れられず、2日目のランチも天草ちゃんぽんを求めてたどり着いたお店です。とても景色のいいカフェです。GWということもあって混んでいましたが、そんなに待たずに着席できました。カウンター席を案内されました。目の前は海!とても気持ちの良い景色を見ながら食事ができました。 天草ちゃんぽんはとんこつと醤油の2種類から選びます。 豚骨スープでいただきました。 満席だったので食事の提供まで少し時間はかかりましたが、お店の方は丁寧に対応してくれました。お店の子どもさん?もお手伝いを頑張っていました! 具沢山のちゃんぽんとても美味しかったです! 食後、テラスから海におりてみました。 足場は悪いですが、楽しみました。 初めて生きたウニを見ました! 小ぶりなウニが岩場にたくさん! いい思い出ができました♪

(Translated by Google) The thick noodles and Amakusa Daio soup are just right. I also appreciate that you can add yuzu pepper as well. It's great to be able to get Champon at this location. Although it is located 2 and a half to 3 hours from Kumamoto city, it is a shop that you should visit at least once. (Original) 太めの麺と天草大王のスープがちょうどいい感じです。柚子胡椒も付けて頂けるのも有り難いです。 このチャンポンをこのロケーションで頂けるのが素晴らしいです。 熊本市内から2時間半〜3時間の場所ですが、1度は行くべきお店です。

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Mt. Takabuto, located in Japan, offers a stunning observatory at the mountain top which is known for its breathtaking sunset views over the Amakusa islands and the five bridges of Amakusa. Accessing the observatory involves navigating a narrow road and climbing about 150m from the parking lot, with good footing along the way. Visitors can also explore the Kyushu Nature Trail nearby. The area is recommended for sunny days to fully enjoy the picturesque scenery.
Fantastic scenery with small islands and Maejima. Can see as far as Mt Unzen. Can be reached easily by e-bike (mio camino has bike rentals), will take more effort on a normal bike.

gorgeous scenery on a clear day! definitely recommend- though the road was quite narrow and daunting it is worth it.
Claudia J — Google review
Nice view from the top. You can go close to the top very quickly with a car. From the parking to the top observatory is about 70-80 steps. The road is a bit risky. You should be careful while driving, perhaps avoid if you are a new driver.

(Translated by Google) The last section of the mountain road is not long, but you should be careful when driving on a narrow and steep road. There are several parking spaces and restrooms at the end of the road. You can climb up to the observation deck in a few minutes. The scenery is beautiful and you can enjoy the scenery of Shanhaiqiao Island! (Original) 最後一段山路不長,但狹窄彎陡駕駛要注意,道路末端有幾個停車位跟洗手間,往上爬幾分鐘即可達觀景台,景色優美可盡覽山海橋島風光!

(Translated by Google) You'll need to drive a short distance up a mountain road, which isn't very easy to navigate and difficult to pass. However, the view from the observatory is truly breathtaking and well worth the visit! However, the mosquitoes here are incredibly aggressive. You'll need to use mosquito repellent to avoid getting bitten all over! (Original) 需要開一小段山路,不是很好開且不好會車 但是到展望台時景色非常優美,值得一看! 可是這裡的蚊子非常兇猛 需要塗防蚊液不然可是會被叮的滿身包!

(Translated by Google) This is a spot where you can get a panoramic view of the Amakusa Five Bridges. Bridge No. 1 is only faintly visible due to its distance, but the blue ocean and the islands of Kami-Amakusa spread out below, making for a truly impressive view. 😃 There was a slight haze on the day, but the view was still great. ☺️ From the parking lot, it's a short climb up some steep stairs to the observation deck. It takes less than two minutes. [For those driving] The road from the base to the parking lot is narrow, but not extremely narrow, and there are plenty of passing spots, so it's not particularly difficult. It's not a long distance, either. However, as other people have commented, there's only enough space for two vehicles to pass each other, so if you're driving in a group or a line and encounter an oncoming vehicle, you're in trouble. 1. Even if you're not in a group, we recommend keeping a distance of 50-60 meters if there's a vehicle ahead of you. 2. While driving, be sure to check for passing spots. This will be useful if you need to back up to give way. (Original) 天草五橋を一望できるスポットです。1号橋は距離があるのでかすかに見える程度ですが、眼下に青い海と上天草の島々が広がって、なかなかの眺望です😃 当日はうっすら霞みがかかってましたけど、良く見渡せました☺️。 展望台までは駐車場から少し急な階段を登りますがすぐです。2分とかかりません。 【車で行かれる方へ】 麓から駐車場までの道は狭いですが極狭ではなく、離合できる場所もたくさんあって決して難所ではないです。距離も長くはありません。 ただ、他の方のコメントにもありますように上下1台同士が離合できる程度のスペースですのでグループなどで数台連なって走って対向車に遭遇するとアウトです。 ①グループでなくても前車がいる場合は間隔を50~60メートルくらいとっての走行をお勧めします。 ②走行中、離合できる場所を確認しつつ進まれてください。自車が後退して道を譲る場合に役立つと思います。

Mountain peak
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Oidake, a mountain peak standing at an elevation of 584m, offers visitors a panoramic and all-encompassing view. The observatory situated on the summit provides a complete 360-degree perspective of the surrounding landscape. Despite the lack of restroom facilities and vulnerability to winds, it is recommended to dress warmly when visiting this time of year. This high-altitude destination presents an ideal opportunity for climbing enthusiasts seeking unparalleled vistas.
(Translated by Google) Laodake (altitude / 590m) It is the third highest mountain in Amakusa. (Geographical Survey Institute data) This is the area where the top three highest mountains in Amakusa are concentrated, and many of the mountains can be reached by car to the top of the mountain, so it is possible to conquer three mountains in one day. From the observation deck of Laotake, you can see the Shimanami Bridge on the Oyano side especially beautifully. Even if you don't have time, I want you to see Kuratake and Laotake and go home. Although you can drive all the way to the top of the mountain, it is better to park in the large parking lot next to the disaster prevention radio station and walk to the observation deck from there. Another person had parked at the last minute, but it looked like it would be difficult to park due to having to turn around. There is a plate of Laodake, but I was wondering where the triangulation point was. It doesn't seem to be where the plate is. (Original) 老嶽 (標高 / 590m) 天草で3番目に高い山です。(国土地理院data) 天草で高い山TOP3が集中しているエリアだし、山頂付近まで車で行ける山が多いので、1日で3山制覇も可能です。 老嶽の展望台からは大矢野側のしまなみや橋が特に綺麗に見えます。時間がなくても倉岳と老嶽は見て帰ってほしい感じですね。山頂ぎりぎりまで車で入れなくはないですが、防災無線横に設けられた広めの駐車場に停めてそこから徒歩で展望台に行く方がいいですね。他の方がぎりぎりの所まで入って停車してましたが切り返したり等駐車が大変そうでした。老嶽のプレートはありますが三角点はどこだろうという感じでした。プレートがあるところではなさそうです。

If the weather is good, the 360 ​​degree views are spectacular. It would be better if the toilets were clean.

There are no restrooms and the observation deck is windswept, so be sure to dress warmly at this time of year.

(Translated by Google) You can enjoy a panoramic view of Kumamoto City, Amakusa Gokyo and Oyano districts. You can see all the way to Nagasaki Shimabara across the Ariake Sea. Location: Observatory It seems to be 590m above sea level. When you get up from The Masters Amakusa Golf Course the road is very narrow and dangerous Narrow mountain road with poor visibility It's dangerous in a car Via Amakusa Kaido? We recommend taking the magnificent Amakusa wide-area farm road. From the direction via Kyoragi Dam Traverse this Kamijima from east to west The splendor of the Amakusa wide-area farm road that runs from Aizu to Hondo City I'm surprised It was great from the first time I went there about 15 years ago. This is a great wide-area farm road, like a highway. This Laodake observation deck has a great view. It is very difficult to access The area around the observation deck was also deserted compared to before. Were you a local high school student? has run marathons so far There are many past records near the observatory. It's all over the place I thought high school students were energetic and amazing. It's sad now that it's gone Otake Shrine remains as it was in the past. If you have time, you may want to take a look. A different view from the Rosario Line (Original) 熊本市、天草五橋・大矢野地区が一望でき、 有明海を渡った長崎島原まで見渡せる 場所・展望台です 標高590mだそう ザ・マスターズ天草ゴルフ場からあがると 道は非常に狭く危険です 視界が悪く、狭い山道 クルマだと危ないです 天草街道経由か 立派な天草広域農道を通るのがおススメです 教良木ダム経由の方面からですね この上島を東西に縦断する 合津から本渡市内まで続く、天草広域農道の立派さに ビックリします 約15年前、初めていったときから立派でした これは凄い広域農道です、高速道路みたい この老嶽展望台は非常に見渡しがいいのに アクセスに非常に難があり、 昔よりも展望台付近もさびれていました 昔は地元の高校生?がここまでマラソン大会をして 展望台付近に、過去の記録がずらーーと 一面に張ってあって 高校生は元気で凄いなあと思っていましたが 今はなく寂しいものです 老嶽神社は昔のままでした お時間がある人はよってみてもいいでしょう ロザリオラインとは違った眺めです

Shirogahama Beach

4.2
(115)
Beach
Shirogahama Beach is a beautiful sandy beach in Kumamoto, offering a serene and private experience. It is less crowded during the weekdays, making it perfect for relaxation. The beach provides amenities such as parasol rentals and nearby shops for refreshments. While the water may be too cold for some activities like jet skiing, it offers a tranquil setting for swimming or simply enjoying the picturesque views. The best time to visit is from June to September when the weather is ideal.
While visiting Amakusa, you might as well want to try a skinny dip or swim as much as you want in one of its beautiful beaches. We went here just before October. The weather is just perfect, it was a bit windy that time, and there were only a few people even though it's a weekend. June to September is probably the best time to visit this place.

Amakusa Seto Bridge

Bridge
(Translated by Google) A loop bridge that is worth running on. Unlike in the mountains, you can see the ocean and the scenery is nice. The curves are tight, so you can't just relax and admire the scenery. Until Amakusa Mirai Ohashi Bridge opened in February 2023, it was the only bridge connecting Kamijima and Shimojima. (Original) 走り応えのあるループ橋。 山の中と違い海が見え景色もいい。 カーブがきつく、のんびり景色を眺めながらというわけにはいきませんが。 2023年2月に天草未来大橋が開通するまでは、上島と下島を結ぶ唯一の橋でした。

あっちゃん(あっちゃん) — Google review
(Translated by Google) This is a bridge that connects Amakusa Kamishima and Amakusa Shimoshima. I think it's quite rare to have a loop bridge with loops on both ends. And it's also quite rare to have a loop bridge that you can walk on. The loops take up a lot of height, so you get quite a lot of wind from the sea when you walk across it. But if you look out at the sea from the bridge, you can enjoy a great view. In the past, there was usually a lot of traffic jams no matter what time of day it was, but now you can cross without any stress. (Original) 天草上島と天草下島をつなぐ橋。 両端ループ橋って結構珍しいんではないかと。あと歩けるループ橋も珍しいのではないかと。 ループで高さが取られているので、歩いて渡っていると結構海風に煽られます。しかし、橋の上から海を眺めれば良景を楽しめます。 昔はどの曜日どの時間帯でもだいたい渋滞してたけど、今はそんなストレスもなく通ることができます

(Translated by Google) [Added in August 2023] It has been a while since the Amakusa Mirai Ohashi Bridge (car-only road) opened. I think the traffic on Seto Ohashi Bridge has been spread out more nicely between Ariake-cho and Sumoto-cho, making it easier to pass through. [Before Amakusa Mirai Ohashi Bridge opens] As a citizen of Amakusa, it goes without saying that it is a mecca for traffic jams. Currently, this is the only bridge that cars can pass through, but the completion of the Second Seto Ohashi Bridge is awaited. However, just passing by allows you to see the cityscape of Hondo and the beautiful sea at the same time. (Original) 【2023年8月 追記】 天草みらい大橋(自動車専用道路)が開通してしばらく経ちました。瀬戸大橋の交通量も有明町方面と栖本町方面で綺麗に分散されて、通りやすくなったのではと思います。 【天草みらい大橋開通前】 天草市民としては、言わずと知れた渋滞のメッカでしょうか。車が通れる橋梁は現在これ一本だけですが、第二瀬戸大橋の完成が待たれます。 とはいえ、通るだけでも本渡の街並みと綺麗な海が同時に見渡せて良きです。

Observatory
Museums
Observatories & Planetariums
Myui Observatory, located in Kami-Amakusa City, Japan, has been recognized as the top spot for stargazing by the Ministry of the Environment. Visitors can marvel at planets, galaxies, and clusters through a rare 20-inch telescope. The observatory also features a unique planetarium and offers informative sessions led by knowledgeable staff. While weather conditions may affect observation schedules, guests can enjoy clear views of the lunar surface and celestial phenomena like the summer triangle and Milky Way.
(Translated by Google) [Date of entry: 2024/01/05] Date of correction: 2024/06/13 *Correction of access road It's been more than 30 years since the construction of the Mui Observatory, which is certified by the Ministry of the Environment as "the observatory where you can see the most beautiful starry sky in Japan for stargazing." I've always wanted to go, and finally it happened. The director said that the building is not new, but since it is a facility for observing the starry sky, the exterior didn't bother me that much. The facilities inside the building are not the latest, but they are just right for getting your eyes used to observing the starry sky, the black lights are lit without any gaps, and the stars floating in the universe painted on the walls are beautifully hand-drawn by professional artists, and the cleaning is also neat. Regardless of the age of the facilities, I feel that it is more important to take good care of what is available. I was impressed by the maintenance that was done, such as mowing the grass and cutting down trees in the surrounding area. The stairs were steep and narrow, but there were handrails installed, so I felt safe. In fact, the atmosphere can be improved by letting small red-leaved ivy grow on the building, like Pazu's house in Hayao Miyazaki's Laputa: Castle in the Sky 😊 At the observatory we were heading for, on a new moon night when the city lights were not an eyesore, the director gave us a detailed live explanation of the Quadrantids meteor (2024.01.04.). (It was the first time in my life that an observatory answered my questions!) I could clearly see the shape and color of Jupiter, the Great Red Spot, and its moons, which I had only seen in picture books, and Subaru (the Pleiades star cluster) looked beautiful. I was moved by the story of the starry sky that I had been casually looking at until then. After the observation, I was able to have fun at the adjacent observation platform. I'm glad I went!! I sincerely hope that the Cassegrain reflecting telescope will be repaired as soon as possible so that I can see it with automatic settings! ️ I'm also grateful to the director for manually adjusting the focus✨✨✨ Next time, I plan to check the cloudless days and closed days and collect all the astronomy stickers✨ Why is the name of the observatory "Mui"? ? It's a pun...🤔...I've been wondering about this for a long time, but in the local dialect, "to see" = "myuui (to see)"...‼ ️‼ ️ Is it derived from a familiar dialect❓❗️(O_O)❗️ For decades. I mistakenly thought it was a very pretentious and stylish name... I'm sorry to say this only now, but I take my hat off to the good sense of the person who selected it! It's very easy to remember, and once you understand the meaning, you won't forget it. There is a campsite next door, so you can stay there and go to the observatory. The campsite seems to have Segways and electric carts. There is a wood stove in the management building, and it seems you can drink alcohol. A drink while watching the stars. I'd like to try it. ‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥ [Route from Route 266] Entered on 2024.01.05] *2024/06/13 "Addition regarding the approach road from the direction of Narukawa Kannon Falls" ⚫︎The road from Daido Port is the easiest and recommended The straight-line distance from Daido Port to the summit of Kuratake is about 1.8 km. It's about 1.5 km in a straight line from 4.5 m above sea level to an altitude of about 469 m, so it's only natural that there will be a steep slope. I'm rather grateful that I can reach the top by car. The richness of nature that can be seen on both sides of the forest road is also fun. It's said that the air is clean on mountains with red pines. There are no street lights, so oncoming cars are easily visible at night. I'm sure the locals who live a little above the middle of the mountain are volunteering to clean the road as a daily road. 🤔✨ There must be no time to catch your breath during the rainy season and summer mowing. Thank you for cleaning it up. The road to the observatory has been neatly mowed and trees cut down, and it is all paved, with no sinkholes, cracks, or steps, so you can drive up there in a normal car without any problems. *If there are stones on the side of the road, they are almost always ones that a wild boar stepped on and rolled over by chance. *Wide cars, high-riding campers, etc. If you have a low-riding car, drive at your own risk. *‼️[From the direction of Narukawa Kannon Falls (Shimonuki Port side)]‼️ You should be able to drive and pass without any problems from here. Not suitable for those who have only ever driven on white-lined roads! ! ! ! There are a lot of hairpin curves in short spans. If you don't drive on the outside, long cars or low-riding cars may scrape their undersides. There are quite a few scratches on the underside of the car, but they were all caused by turning the steering wheel too early^^;;;;; Conveyor mirrors are usually installed in places where visibility is poor. If you turn on the low lights and drive slowly during the day, you probably won't feel that dangerous. *Set the navigation system to a fairly wide range and predict the curves ahead. Please drive safely and have a fun holiday. *This is a road where locals live. Fallen leaves don't have holidays. *I also have the opportunity to use this road from time to time. I always feel that it is a well-maintained road. (It's not a harsh road. It's disrespectful to real harsh roads😳) Recently, more people who are not used to mountain roads have been using it. Rather than the center...I often find myself blocked right in the middle. I have no choice but to stop. I want to be a person who has the generosity and kindness to give in to others and say, "I'm glad nothing happened." *This is a road used by locals. It is not a tourist road, so please remember that you are intruding on this road. *The open drains are for dealing with repeated heavy rain (to remove blockages).

(Translated by Google) The large telescope has reached the end of its lifespan? What does it mean to reach the end of its lifespan? The local government that installed it probably set the end of its lifespan, but I wonder if the facility itself is heading towards closure. The outdoor toilets are also closed. I'd like to see it restored somehow. It's a shame, as it's a treasure island where you can properly observe the stars. I guess they couldn't find anyone to use it. What a shame. The management is kind, and I'd like to come back to camp, so it's a shame. The current director is apparently knowledgeable about stars until mid-April, so it's worth going. Perhaps it's possible to create a system to promote the charm of this place, with public funds to maintain it as the property of the local government. I'd like something that connects the soul with the method of gazing at the stars, like the lantern-flying in Taiwan. (Original) 大型望遠鏡は寿命切れ?だった。寿命切れってなんだ? 多分設置した自治体が寿命を作ってしまったのだろうけど、施設そのものも閉鎖の方向にあるのかな。外のトイレも閉鎖したまま。 どうにか復興させたいところだ 星をきちんと観察できる宝の島だけに残念。利用者を発掘できなかったんだろうなー。残念 運営の方々は親切で、キャンプもリピートしたいところだけに残念 4月中旬までは今の台長らしく、星に詳しいので行ってみるのは良い ここは多分、地元行政の所有物だけに維持するための公費も入れて、魅力を訴える仕組みを作れないものか? 台湾のランタン飛ばしのように星をうかがえる手法と魂をつなぐものを欲しいところ

(Translated by Google) I did not know. The telescope is also rare, and so is the planetarium. Observation sessions are subject to change depending on the weather, but the person in charge will provide detailed explanations. 🌓Depending on the moon, you may not be able to see the stars, but the lunar surface can be seen very clearly. My son was taught about the summer triangle. I was able to see the Milky Way. I would like to go again when we can see Saturn and other objects. The fare was 400 yen or 600 yen. (Original) 知らなかった。望遠鏡も珍しいもので、プラネタリウムも珍しいものらしい。 観察会は、天候で変わりやすいが、担当者の方は、丁寧に説明してくれます。 🌓月によって、星が、見えなかったりするが、月面は、凄く鮮明に見えます。 息子は、夏の大三角形をしっかり教えてもらい。天の川を見ることができました。 土星なども見れる時期にまた行きたいです。 料金も400円や600円でした。

(Translated by Google) Mui Observatory in Kamiamakusa City. It was located at the top of a mountain and we had to drive on a difficult road, but it was a very nice place. The exhibits were very elaborate, even though they were handmade, and I especially liked how the black lights inside the museum made the stars and celestial bodies stand out, which was really beautiful. Next time, I would like to go at night and observe the astronomical objects and look through the astronomical telescope. The view was great as it was on the top of the mountain. (Original) 上天草市のミューイ天文台。 山の山頂にありなかなかの道を走らされたが、とても良いところだった。 展示は、手作り感満載ながらもとても凝っていて、特に館内がブラックライトで星や天体が浮き出るような感じになっていたのがめちゃくちゃ綺麗でとても良かった。 次は夜に行って天体観測と天体望遠鏡を覗きたい。 山頂にあるので眺めも最高だった。

(Translated by Google) The stars were so beautiful that I was able to take a photo using my iPhone's night mode a while ago. You can see the Milky Way with the naked eye, and the night view overlooking it is also very beautiful. It's dangerous at night, so I had no choice but to look at the observatory when the road was dark and I turned on the light.It's the worst when there's a creepy old man who says, "I'm sorry, I'm taking a picture right now." If I wait, can you give it to me? I tried to wait quietly for him, but he continued to take photos by himself, muttering something.I was so taken aback that I took a photo as well. so what? teeth? I should have just said what I wanted. I feel like an idiot for trying to be so careful. The roads are so narrow that even light vehicles cannot pass each other, and thinking about the cars that may come in front of you at any moment can only be stressful. I'm so grateful that I was able to get home safely in my small, large car. There are people who monopolize the starry sky, and if that person was an employee, it would be even worse 👋 No repeats. It would be better to search in the Aso area, where the roads are wider. I understand why no one is alone. (Original) 星は少し前のiPhoneナイトモードで写真撮れるくらいめちゃくちゃ綺麗だった。 天の川も肉眼で見えるし、見下ろす夜景もとても美しいです。 夜危ないので、仕方なく道暗くて足元照らしてったら展望台ですみません今写真撮ってるんで、とかいうきしょいおっちゃんいて最悪 待ってたら譲ってもらえるんか?思って静かに待ってあげてても1人でなんかぶつぶつ言いながら撮影続行、もう呆れて私も写真撮りました。だから何?は?どうして欲しいんってわざと言えばよかった。気を遣ってやったのバカみたい。 道も軽ですらすれ違い不可で狭いし、いつ前から来るかもしれない車の事考えたらストレスにしかならない。私の低めな大きめな車で無事帰って来られたのに感謝してるくらい。 星空独占するようなやつがいるし、仮にあれ職員だったんだとしたらもっと最悪👋リピなし もっと道も広い阿蘇方面で探したほうがマシ。誰1人としていない理由よくわかりました

(Translated by Google) I went there when I was using the campsite. I was the only one there, probably because it was a weekday in November, but the staff were very responsive and gave detailed explanations that made for some great memories of my camping trip. The moon was very bright that night, and I looked up at the stars outside my tent until I went to bed. Rather than going from Shimonuki Fishing Port on Route 266 to Mui Observatory, the staff recommends taking the Odo Port, which is about a 5-10 minute drive from there, as the road is cleaner. If you are coming up from Shimonuki Fishing Port, please be careful as there is a deep step immediately after entering (November 20, 2018) (Original) キャンプ場を利用した時に行ってみました。 11月の平日だからか自分一人だけでしたが、スタッフさん達の対応が良く、丁寧な説明でキャンプ旅の良い思い出が出来ました。 その夜は月がとても明るく、寝るまでテントの外で星を見上げてました。 ミューイ天文台には266号の下貫漁港からでなく、そこから5〜10分ほど走った大道港からの方が道がきれいでスタッフさんのおススメです。 下貫漁港から上がる方は、入ってすぐに深めの段差があるので注意です(平成30年11月20日)

Ripple Land Restaurant is a delightful spot to enjoy a satisfying meal, especially if you're a fan of shellfish. During my visit on a sunny weekday lunchtime, I ordered the Shellfish Soup Set Meal and was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion of soup that accompanied it—almost as large as the bowl itself! The mild flavor of the broth paired beautifully with perfectly cooked shellfish.
(Translated by Google) Octopus is famous, so there is an octopus sculpture, and salty takoyaki is the most popular. The view is also wonderful. (Original) タコが有名みたいでタコのオブジェもあり、たこ焼きは塩味が人気みたいです。また景色が素晴らしい。

(Translated by Google) Arrived just around 12:00 on a public holiday. However, at that point, the octopus tempura bowl that was supposed to be on sale was sold out. Judging from the number of customers, it wasn't that crowded, so I think there's no doubt that the number of people scheduled was too small. By the way, it was limited to 10 meals. The seafood bowl didn't seem to be sold out. In that case, I ordered the octopus rice set. It was quite delicious. The Champon that my family ate was delicious, but the salt and pepper added too much flavor to it. (Original) 祝日の12時ちょうど頃に到着。ところがその時点で売りのはずのタコ天丼売り切れ。客数から見てもそこまで混んでなかったので、予定数が少なすぎなのは間違いないと思います。ちなみに10食限定としてあった。海鮮丼は売り切れじゃなさそうでした。 それならばとタコ飯セットを注文。まあまあ美味しかったです。家族が食べたちゃんぽんは、美味しかったけど旨味以上に塩胡椒が効きすぎてました。

(Translated by Google) Apparently the most popular seafood bowl ¥1500 I'm honestly disappointed about this... 1,500 yen is probably a tourist price, but the presentation was disappointing, and the amount of toppings was so small that you could see the rice. I guess this could be a successful business since there was nothing there, but I regretted ordering 1,500 yen for this. Fried shrimp ¥800 3 medium sized shrimp. This one was fried well and was the perfect accompaniment to sake with the whole shell. Although we are not looking for thorough service, The tea is placed in a tea bag along with a pot telling you to make your own, which is a strange touch, and the unsmiling old man just plainly listens to your order and then leaves... The bill doesn't come even after you ring it... The interior is always dark and seems to only accept regular customers. If the price was 20% lower, I would be satisfied (compromise) with the services and products I offer. There were takoyaki for sale outside, so if the weather is nice, I think it would be more fulfilling to buy some takoyaki and a drink and eat while looking at the scenery. Due to my work, I often use roadside stations, but this restaurant was in the "disappointing" category. (Original) 1番人気らしい海鮮丼¥1500 これについては正直ガッカリ…。 1500円は観光地価格なんでしょうが、盛り付けも残念、ネタも少量でご飯が見えている量。 何も無い所なのでこれでも商売として成立するんでしょうが、流石にこれで1500円の注文をした事に後悔。 エビの唐揚げ¥800 中程度のサイズのエビが3尾。 こちらは上手く揚がっており殻ごといける酒のツマミにしたら最高のひと品でした。 徹底したサービスを求める訳ではありませんが、 お茶はティーパックで自分で作れとポットと一緒に置いてあるのも微妙なスタイルですし、笑顔のないおっさんが淡々と注文だけ聞いて去っていく後ろ姿…。 鳴らしても来ないお会計…。 常に薄暗く常連しか受け付けないかのような店内…。 価格設定があと2割安ければ満足(妥協)できるサービスや提供品なんですがね。 外にたこ焼き売ってたので天気が良いのであれば、たこ焼きと飲み物買って景色を眺めながら食事した方が充実した休息になるかと思います。 仕事柄、道の駅はよく利用しますが「残念」な部類に入るレストランでした。

(Translated by Google) I ordered the Sesame Sauce Marinated Rice Bowl. The picture on the menu was smaller than the others, so perhaps it wasn't a popular item? I visited on a weekday lunchtime, and there was only one other group of customers ahead of me. It arrived 6-7 minutes after I ordered. The first thing that surprised me was that the shellfish soup that came with it was as big as the bowl! The soup had a mild flavor, which I liked. The amount of shellfish was just right. On the other hand, I was a little disappointed that there weren't many ingredients in the marinated rice bowl. I ended up eating the last 1/4 of it with just the sesame sauce and rice. However, the taste was a little spicy, which I liked, and the sesame flavor was a little strong, so it went very well with the rice and was delicious. (Original) ゴマだれ漬け丼を注文しました。 メニューの写真が他と比べて小さめなので人気商品ではなかったのかな? 平日昼間に訪問、先客は一組でした。 注文してから6〜7分で到着しました。 まず驚いたのは付属の貝汁が丼と同じくらいの大きさ! 汁は優しい味で自分好みでした。貝の量もちょうど良いです。 一方やや残念だったのは漬け丼のネタが少ないかも。ラスト1/4はゴマだれのみで白飯を食べる事に。しかしながら味はこれまた自分好みのちょいピリ辛でゴマの主張やや強めでご飯にとても合い美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) It happened to be around lunchtime, so I stopped by. I ordered a shellfish soup set meal. It was a very sunny day, and the view from the window was beautiful. The shellfish soup set meal was very satisfying with the delicious soup stock, crispy and fluffy fried fish, and delicious white rice. (Original) たまたまお昼時だったので、寄らせてもらいました。貝汁定食を頼みました。非常に天気もよき日で、窓からの景色も良かったです。 貝汁定食は、出汁がうまい汁、サクサクふわふわな魚のフライ、うまい白米と大満足でした。

Seafood restaurant
A seafood restaurant called "Ebi no Miyagawa Kamekawa" is known for its shrimp dishes and is run by a prawn farmer. The sashimi is plump and the tempura is delicious, making it a popular spot among locals. During lunchtime, there tends to be a line of customers outside, but the wait time is manageable due to their fast service. The restaurant offers fresh and reasonably priced seafood, with generous portions and an ocean view from the seating area.
Fantastic service and presentation! In terms of the quality and the presentation, 2,100¥ for Miyagawa Teishoku is not that expensive. Free

(Translated by Google) ❌ What a surprise! It was instant powdered miso soup!! ! ...I feel bad for the shrimp, but I was really disappointed by how poorly it was cooked. ...The shrimp themselves were farmed, but they were beautifully live. And the shrimp dance was good, but... The actual cooking was incredibly poor. When I thought about it, the poor cooking quality made me realize This restaurant is disrespectful to the shrimp... I don't think there's any other chef in Japan who doesn't cook such precious ingredients with such care. Tempura...the batter was too thick!! Someone wrote a great review here. ...The batter was like pancake mix...lol So true. ☆There are many other independently owned restaurants in Amakusa that serve the most delicious seafood... I highly recommend them. The staff were quite nice, but the food was still terrible. I guess when you get to a famous restaurant, they try to keep their costs as low as possible...what a shame. (Original) ❌まさかの!がインスタント粉末味噌汁!!だった! …海老さんには申し訳無いけど、本当に調理が大変酷くて残念だった。 …海老自体は養殖だが、綺麗な活きエビ。 それで活きエビのおどりは良かったが…… 調理した物はとんでもなく酷く仕上げられていた こまで調理が酷いと、よくよく考えたら、 海老に対して失礼なお店だな…と感じた 折角の素材を、あそこまで大切に調理しない板前さんは、日本では他にはいないと思う 天ぷら…衣厚も過ぎ!! コチラのクチコミに、上手いことを書かれある方がいらっしゃいました …ホットケーキミックスみたいな衣…笑 ホントにそう。 ☆天草には、他の個人店で最高に美味しい海鮮を食べさせるお店は多くある…。 そちらを強くオススメする。 店員はなかなか感じ良いが…それでも調理は酷いなと感じた 有名店になると、とことんまで原価率下げてしまうものなのだなぁ……残念。

(Translated by Google) I'll tell you. If you come to Amakusa, you have to try the kuruma prawns. I didn't know much about the kuruma prawns in Amakusa. My opinion of kuruma prawns changed before and after I tried them. They're quite famous. I recommend calling to reserve a table as soon as they open. It's incredibly busy. It would be a shame to give up because of the wait, so make a reservation. I was surprised when I arrived. The Miyagawa set meal was sold out within an hour of opening. So I ordered the Odori set meal, tempura bowl, fried shrimp set meal, and children's lunch. The shrimp portions in both the fries and tempura were even more plentiful than in the photos. Thick and juicy. I was impressed by the plump meat and the unprecedented sweetness of the shrimp. I couldn't help but eat the head and tail. This was my first time eating Odori prawns. The firmness and the way the meat was attached were incredible! You could feel the power of the shrimp beyond its appearance! The sweetness that spread in your mouth was amazing. The food was so delicious that after I finished, I wanted to come back and try it again. This is a great restaurant. The value for money is also great. I've also attached directions to the parking lot. (Original) 教えます。天草に来たら車海老を食べましょう。 天草は車海老がすごいんですね、知識不足でした。頂く前と後では車海老の価値観が変わりました。かなりの有名です。オープンすぐに予約の電話して席確保をおすすめします。ものすごい賑わいです。待ち時間で断念するのはもったいないので予約を。私も現着して驚きました。 オープン1時間とせずに宮川定食は完売してました。なのでおどり定食、天丼、海老フライ定食、お子様ランチを注文。フライも天ぷらも写真以上に海老ボリュームありです。肉厚ジューシー。ふっくらした身とかつてないほどの海老の甘味に感動。思わず頭も尻尾も頂きました。そして初のおどり食い。身の弾力、身のつき方がすんごい!見た目以上の海老のパワーを感じる!さらに口の中に広がる甘みがすごいです。食べおわった後にまた入店から味わいたいと思うほどおいしく堪能させてもらいました。 まちがいがないお店です。コスパもすごい。 駐車場の案内も貼っておきます。

(Translated by Google) Driving along the coast of Amakusa, you'll find shrimp farms here and there. While sea bream is delicious, the shrimp you'll see most often is probably tiger prawns. Miyagawa Ebi is one of the most energetic shrimp farming companies. If you head from Kamishima to the center of Amakusa, you'll pass by their company. This restaurant is the place to eat your fill of Miyagawa's shrimp. Every menu item comes with generous portions of shrimp. The "dorikumi" shrimp is also popular with customers, but while they're fresh and locally sourced, they're not premium shrimp. I personally think cooked shrimp tastes better. (After all, Edomae tiger prawns are basically boiled.) (Original) 天草の海沿いを走っていると あちこち養殖場が見つかります 鯛とかも美味しいのですが 1番見かけるのは おそらく車海老 海老の宮川は そのエビ養殖を特に精力的にやってる企業さんの一つ 天草を上島から中央に向かって行くと 途中で会社の横も通ることになります そんな宮川さんのエビをたらふく食べられるのがこのお店 どのメニューも海老の量がモリモリです 踊り食いとかもお客さんからは人気でしたが あくまで地元産で新鮮であるものの 高級エビというわけではないので 火を加えた食材の方が美味しいと自分は思います (そもそも江戸前の車海老も茹でた形が基本ですし)

(Translated by Google) A shrimp specialty restaurant popular with locals. We visited as soon as it opened, but it quickly filled up. It's best to make a reservation even for lunch on weekends. They have a wide variety of dishes using their specialty shrimp. They have everything from raw shrimp to grilled shrimp, tempura, and fried shrimp. The limited edition Miyagawa Gozen is recommended as it includes almost all the dishes. The miso-marinated prawns were the perfect snack to go with your drinks. (Original) 地元の方にも人気の海老専門店 開店と同時にお伺いしましたがあっという間に満席に。休日はお昼でも予約した方が良いと思います。 名物の海老を使ったメニューが多数あり 生、焼き、天ぷら、フライなど何でも有ります。 限定の宮川御前はほぼ全てのメニューが入っているのでお勧めです。 車海老の味噌漬けがお酒のあてに最高でした。

(Translated by Google) 2024.12.29 As the new year approached, my wife took a day off from work, so she came to my place of work alone. Since New Year's Eve was the only day I had to work, I decided to go out and went to Amakusa. I left the basic knowledge research about Amakusa to my wife and set out. Arrived at Kamiamakusa City, took a bath, and had lunch. According to my wife's research, Amakusa is one of the three major Champon restaurants in Japan, so I have to try it. So I came here. It was almost 1pm, but the restaurant was full. As soon as the staff member says, ``We're fully booked...'', I say, ``I'll wait. I'll be waiting in the car because it might get in the way in the store!'' to avoid being turned down. , the restaurant staff said, ``Okay, this is the menu, so please make your decision,'' so I decided to enter the restaurant. I waited for 5 minutes.While I was in the car, I was beckoned to enter the store. As soon as I was seated, I ordered two champons. There were some people who hadn't been served their meals yet, so we waited for a while, but it didn't feel like a long time before we were seated. A voluminous visual full of vegetables. The flavor of the stir-fried vegetables mixes with the soup, giving it a true Champon flavor. It seems that Champon, which was introduced from Nagasaki, became Champon using ingredients from Amakusa and took root. Maybe that's why? It's delicious with the juicy shrimp in it. The price is 920 yen. This is so voluminous. Of course. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 2024.12.29 年も押し迫って、うちの奥さんは仕事がお休みに入ったので、私の単身赴任先へやってきました。 私も大晦日だけがお仕事のスケジュールになり、せっかくならお出かけをしときましょーと、なり、天草へ。 天草の基礎知識調べは奥さんにお任せして、いざ出発。 上天草市に到着して、ひとっ風呂浴びて、お昼ご飯に。 奥さん調べによりますと、天草は日本三大ちゃんぽんの一つなんだそうで、ならば食べとかなきゃいけないね。ってこちらにやってきました。 そろそろ13時になろうかという時間でしたが、店内は満席。 お店の方の「今満席で…」って言い出すと同時に「待ちます。店内で邪魔になりそうですから、車の中で待ってます!」と、ここで断られないようにかぶせて話すと、お店の方は「それではこれがメニューですので、お決めになっててください」って事で入店は決定。 5分も待ったかな?車の中にいると手招きされて入店。 着席と同時に「ちゃんぽん2つ」と、オーダー。 まだ食事が提供されてない方々がいたので、ここから暫し待ちましたが、長いなーと感じることなく、ちゃんぽんが着席。 野菜タップリでボリューミーなビジュアル。 炒められた野菜の風味がスープにまじり、これぞちゃんぽんって味。 長崎から伝わったちゃんぽんが天草の食材を使うちゃんぽんとなり、根付いたらしいです。 だからかな?プリプリの海老が入ってて美味しい。 お値段は920円なり。このボリューミーさだもんね。当然かな。 美味しかったです。ごちそうさまでした。

(Translated by Google) We visited for the first time as a group of two around 7pm. We had been told in advance that there would be a slight delay in serving the food due to a group of customers on the second floor, and after accepting this, we had our champon! It may have been a coincidence, but the food was served in about 7-8 minutes. We had the soup. It was light and delicious♪ There were two shrimps, but apart from the kamaboko, there wasn't any particular seafood taste and the champon was more like Nagasaki than Amakusa. As you'd get from everyone's reviews, I think this is a pretty average Chinese restaurant. (Original) 19時頃に2名で初訪問。 二階に団体のお客さんがいらっしゃるので料理の提供が少し遅れるとの事前説明を了承してチャンポンを頂きました! たまたまかも知れませんが7~8分くらいで配膳。 スープを頂く。 あっさりめで美味しい♪ エビは2尾入ってましたが、カマボコ以外で特に魚介類の味は感じず天草というより長崎寄りなチャンポンでした。 皆様のクチコミから受ける印象どおり、普通に美味しい中華料理屋さんなのだと思います。

(Translated by Google) I went there for lunch and it was delicious so I went back for dinner the next day. Mapo tofu is spicy and delicious My nose starts to sweat when I eat it. I wanted white rice. Sweet and sour pork also tastes good. The pork is not cut into cubes, but in a shape that allows the flavor to blend in better, so my personal review is ⤴︎I'm glad it didn't contain pineapple. Sara udon is thinner and crispy type than the noodles I expected (I also want to try the fried type with medium thick noodles...) Plenty of bean paste Overall it was delicious I will come again if I want to eat mapo tofu! (Original) ランチで伺って美味しかったので後日夕食時に再訪 麻婆豆腐がしっかり辛くて美味しい 食べてるとじんわり鼻に汗かくくらい 白いご飯ほしくなった。 酢豚もいいお味。豚肉が角切りではなくて味の絡みやすい形になっていて個人的評価が⤴︎パイナップル入ってなくてよかった 皿うどんは期待していた麺より細いパリパリタイプ(中太麺で揚げてあるタイプも食べたいなぁ…)餡がたっぷり 総じて美味しかった 麻婆豆腐食べたくなったらまた来ます!

(Translated by Google) Old Hondo City has many Chinese restaurants. This is also a long-established store with local roots. At lunchtime, the customer base ranges from businessmen to neighborhood wives. Personally, I like the taste of Champon noodles and soup, which is similar to Obama Champon. (Original) 町中華屋がたくさんある旧本渡市内。 こちらも地元に根ざした感ある老舗です。 お昼はビジネスマンから近所の奥様たちまで客層は幅広いです。 個人的には、ちゃんぽんの麺とスープの感じが小浜ちゃんぽんに似てて好みです。

(Translated by Google) When you come to Amakusa, Amakusa Champon is the only choice! I heard that Hojuen has a good reputation. I made a reservation. If there were about 3 cars waiting before the opening at 5:30pm, we would be delayed for about an hour. Visit again after killing time. Still, many people came. I'm looking for Champon, Sara Udon, and fried rice. Very satisfied with everything. The Champon was especially delicious. The three major Champon in Japan are Nagasaki, Obama, and Amakusa. Even in the region, different restaurants have different tastes, so it's hard to say which one is better, but there was no doubt that it was delicious. There is a parking lot in front of the store that can accommodate more than 10 cars. (Original) 天草にきたら天草ちゃんぽんしかないでしょう! っということで宝寿苑さんの評判がいいとのことだったので 予約しました。 オープンの17時30分前に車が3台ほど乗って待ってるとちょっと1時間ぐらい遅れますとのこと。時間をつぶしてから再訪問。それでも沢山の人が来てました。 お目当てはちゃんぽんと皿うどんとチャーハン。 どれも大満足。特にちゃんぽんが美味かった。 日本三大ちゃんぽんが長崎・小浜・天草だとか。 その地方でも色々な店で味が違い好みもあるから一概にどれがいいとはいけないが美味しいのは間違いなかった。 駐車場も店の前に10台以上置けます。

Gion Bridge, located in the old part of town, is considered to be the largest stone bridge in Japan and holds the status of an Important Cultural Property. Built in 1832, it has a historical significance as it was the site of a battle during a rebellion two centuries prior. The bridge spans the Yamaguchi River and features a rare multi-leg design with pillar-shaped stones and streamlined triangular piers for water drainage.
If only the bridge could describe the horrific battle which took place at this site. Many lives were lost that day. On nearby Amakusa Christian Museum grounds stand a monument to 1,000 martyrs, which remembers the fallen. One person recounts that the stream was following with the blood of battle combatants.

While the area does not boost as much food stalls and shopping malls as the usual historical sites, I will still recommend this quiet place to visit if you are in the area. The place still holds an air of sadness, and on the board at the foot of the bridge, you can read the bloody history associated with the Amakusa islands in particular.

(Translated by Google) 2024.12.29 In the travel guidebook created by my wife, we were supposed to visit Gion Bridge, which is a 6-minute walk from Hondo Suwa Shrine... I'm sorry, but I parked my car in the parking lot of Hondo Suwa Shrine and had a chat. There was. Gion Bridge. The couple loves national treasures and important cultural properties, so they get excited when they see them. The stone structure (and stone girders) that was built 200 years ago is simply stunning. There are definitely some signs of weathering, but if it's designated as an important monument, it's fine. I hope you can protect it. During the Amakusa-Shimabara Rebellion, a deadly struggle took place here, and Gion Bridge was built to mark the 200th anniversary of the martyrdom. It's also very refreshing to be here 200 years later. We visited Gion Shrine (Yasaka Shrine), where the name of the bridge comes from, and the view of the bridge from there was also nice. (Original) 2024.12.29 うちの奥さん作成の旅のしおりでは、本渡諏訪神社から徒歩6分の距離にある祇園橋を訪ねる事になってて… 申し訳ないけど、本渡諏訪神社の駐車場に車を停めさせてもらい、テクテク。 ありましたよ。祇園橋。 国宝や重文(重要文化財)は、大好物の夫婦ですので、目にすると、やはり興奮気味になります。 200年前に架けられた石造り(しかも石桁)なんて、見事過ぎます。 どうしても風化してる跡はありますが、重文に指定されたなら、大丈夫。 保護していただけると思います。 天草・島原の乱の時、ここで死闘が繰り広げられ、殉教200年で架けられた祇園橋。 またその200年後に、ここに訪れたのも感じるものがありますね。 橋の名前の由来となった祇園社(八坂神社)へ参拝し、そこからの橋の姿もよい景色でした。

(Translated by Google) This stone (local sandstone) girder bridge was built in 1832 and has been designated as a national important cultural property. It is one of the largest stone structures in Japan (28.6m long and 3.3m wide) and is supported by 45 stone pillars, but it is too old to cross.

(Translated by Google) One of Japan's largest stone girder bridges, designated a national Important Cultural Property. Its multi-legged design, rare even nationwide, is crafted using high-quality stone from the Amakusa region. While Gion Bridge itself was built in the late Edo period, the stones beneath the bridge's base are said to remain unchanged since the Shimabara-Amakusa Rebellion. In 1631, a deadly battle between Christian forces and the Karatsu Domain's troops unfolded nearby, marking Gion Bridge as a tragic civil war. The thought-provoking Gion Bridge is a precious Important Cultural Property that can still be seen today. (Original) 国の重要文化財に指定されている国内最大級の石造桁橋。 全国的にもまれな多脚式で、天草地区の良質な石素材を使用された石橋です。 祇園橋自体は江戸時代後期に架けられたものですが、石橋の下の架台の石は、島原・天草の乱当時と変わらないと言われているそうです。 寛永14年に、この近隣でキリシタン軍と唐津藩の軍勢との死闘が繰り広げられ、哀しい内戦の歴史が刻み込まれた祇園橋… 多くの事を考えさせられる祇園橋は、現代も尚、その姿を見る事ができる貴重な重要文化財です。

Junkyo Park is a significant site that houses the graves of Christian martyrs, including those who perished in the Amakusa-Shimabara Rebellion. It also features various commemorative structures and amenities such as benches for relaxation with a breathtaking city view, as well as a children's playground area. This park serves as both a historical reminder and a serene retreat where visitors can contemplate distant events while enjoying the tranquil atmosphere imbued with elements of Shintoism, Buddhism, and Christianity.

(Translated by Google) This temple is located right next to Martyrdom Park, and is a famous Soto sect temple built by the shogunate after the Shimabara Rebellion to completely suppress Christians. When I first came, there were many Jizo on either side of the stone steps, but what I saw today was only one Jizo at the beginning of the stone steps, and that was the famous Kirishitan Jizo. Throughout history, many things are lost and many things are left behind, but even at this splendid Sanmon gate, I felt the blood of many people and stood there for a while. (Original) このお寺は、殉教公園のすぐそばにあり、幕府が島原の乱の後に、キリシタンを完全に抑えるために作らせた曹洞宗の名刹である。初めて来たときには、石段の左右に多くの地蔵があったのだが、今日見た姿は、石段の登り口にただ一つの地蔵があり、それがかの有名な切支丹地蔵であった。歴史は多くの物を無くし、また残していくが、この立派な山門にも多くの人の流された血を感じ、しばし佇んでいた。

The museum staff told us that it was a pod of dolphins. Although it was a long shot, it was a dream come true and I was very excited. This is because fishing in Nie, Gowa Town has not used nets since ancient times, and has a history of coexisting with dolphins. If you come to dolphin watching, we highly recommend that you stop by this folklore museum. (Original) 苓北地区をぐるりと見晴らす事が出来ます。貴重な歴史的な資料が展示されています。 イルカの資料も閲覧できます。 こちらも無料!凄すぎです。 我々の先祖がどのように生きてきたか、学ぶ事が出来ます。ロマンが満載です。 [追記] こちらから見渡す海の風景が好きです。 イルカが泳ぐ通詞島! いつかイルカウォッチングで野生のイルカが観たいな〜と思って、ぼ〜っと海を眺めていると、海の一部にさざ波が現れました。 資料館の職員の方が、イルカの群れだと教えてくれました。 遠目ですが、1つ夢が叶って激アツでした。 なんでも、五和町仁江の漁は、網を古来からの使用せず、イルカと共存してきた歴史があるから、との事です。 イルカウォッチングに来られたら、是非こちらの民俗資料館に立ち寄る事をオススメします。

(Translated by Google) This museum (free admission) is located in a great spot overlooking Tsujishima Island. It displays artifacts from the Jomon period and dolphin skeletons. Apparently, you can see the dolphins that live in this area every day from here. The access road is narrow, but in return, you'll reach a place with a great view. (Original) 通詞島をぐるりと見渡せる眺めが良い場所にある資料館(無料)です。縄文時代の発掘物やイルカの骨格など展示されています。ここからは、毎日のようにこの海域に定住するイルカが目視できるとのことです。アクセスする道路が狭めですが、引き換えに良い景色を展望できる場所にたどり着けます。

(Translated by Google) This museum is located on the top of a mountain, almost in the center of Tsuji Island. You can learn about the history of the town, which flourished around fishing, through a variety of exhibits and materials in chronological order from the Kofun period to the present day. This mountain itself is an ancient tomb, and there are ruins on the hillside of the town, and the excavated items are explained in detail. It is surprising to learn that large-scale fishing and salt production have been carried out here since ancient times. I learned a lot. This area was probably the base of the ancient Sea Peoples. The view of the surrounding area from the parking lot or the observation deck a short distance up is exceptional. In the forest next door is Santengu Shrine, which enshrines Benten and others. Although it is a small museum, it is a must-see for anyone interested in archeology. (Original) 通詞島のほぼ中央、山の頂きにある資料館です。漁業を中心に栄えてきた町の歴史について、古墳時代から現代まで時系列で多彩な展示品と資料で知る事が出来ます。 この山自体が古墳ですし、町の丘陵には遺跡があって、その出土品が詳しく解説されています。 古代から大規模な漁業や製塩が行われていたとは驚きです。勉強になりました。きっとこの地は古代海の民の根拠地だったのでしょうね。 駐車場や少し登った所にある展望台からは周囲が見渡せ眺望は格別です。 隣の森の中には三天宮があり弁天様らをお祀りしています。 小さな資料館ですが、考古学に興味がある人は必見の施設です。

(Translated by Google) It's a hidden gem. There are displays of the old history of Gowa. From the observation deck outside, you can see the dolphin watching boats, and if you have binoculars, you can see a little bit of the dolphins. It's a high point with a great view, so I recommend it. (Original) 穴場です。昔の五和の歴史が展示してあります。外の展望所から、イルカウォッチングの船が見え、双眼鏡があれば、イルカがすこーーーしだけ見えます。高台で見晴らしいいので、オススメです。

Sushi restaurant
Japanese restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Amakusa, Janome Sushi stands out as a premier destination for sushi lovers. This restaurant exudes a traditional Japanese ambiance that instantly makes you feel special upon entering. The sushi rice is expertly prepared with classic vinegar, creating a delightful melt-in-your-mouth experience. While the toppings may be simple, they are undeniably delicious—think fresh raw octopus, silver-striped herring, and tender abalone.
We ordered 4 lunch sets, including tempura, 8 pieces of sushi, steamed chawanmushi, etc. All were delicious. The service was good. Since I only know a little Japanese, the waiters were very friendly to translate or explain directly in English. After we finished eating, the chef and waiter sent us off. I will come to Amakusa again next time.

One of the best if not the best sushi I have eaten in Japan! Delicate, full of flavor, with some interesting accents (like a drop of cherry blossom jam!). Extremely kind and helpful staff, speaking English and explaining every dish! Would love to come back again! If you happen to be here in the neighborhood - don't forget to drop by here! Once again, many thanks to the staff! This sushi made my evening!

(Translated by Google) This sushi restaurant is perfect in every way: the toppings, the rice, the store layout, the atmosphere, and of course, the skill of the chefs. Even if sushi ingredients are sourced from a local area, the highest quality is often bought off in Tokyo... But thanks to its location, you can find the finest local ingredients here. Sipping delicious sushi while chatting with the three chefs at the counter, coupled with the superb hospitality, was an absolutely blissful experience. The ingredients were truly flawless, and not just in words. (See photos.) The red sea urchin in particular was an absolutely stunning masterpiece. The squid was exquisitely cut with a hidden knife, and while it melted in the mouth, it had a rich, sweet flavor that brought a smile to my face. The miso soup and melon ice cream were also excellent. Finally, the handsome and humble chef himself saw me off, making it a truly delightful and wonderful experience. Thank you very much. I will definitely stop by again. Parking lot assistance (Original) ネタ、シャリ、店構え、雰囲気、そしてやはり職人の腕と全てが完璧な寿司屋。 地方の寿司ネタは仮に産地であっても、最高級は東京へ…と買い取られて行くが… ここは地の利があり地元でも最上級の寿司ネタと巡り会える。 カウンターで三人の職人さんと笑顔で話しながら、旨い寿司をいただく時間は最高のおもてなしと、相まって…もう文句無しの至福の時間でした。 ネタに関しては、言葉だけではなく正に非の打ち所の無いものばかり。(画像ご参照ください)特に赤ウニは本当に素晴らしい逸品でした。 烏賊には絶妙な隠し包丁が入れられ、口溶け良いが、ねっとりと甘い味わいか楽しめ、思わず顔がほころびました。 またお味噌汁も、メロンアイスも…絶品でした。 最後に、男前で腰の低い大将自らお見送りをしてくださり、正に悦に入る様な素晴らしい経験が出来ました。 誠にありがとうございました。 また必ず寄らせていただきます。 ・駐車場看病

(Translated by Google) I had lunch at a sushi restaurant in Amakusa. I ordered a 12-piece omakase nigiri set. The small bowl of octopus roe that came out first was absolutely delicious! All of the sushi was likely locally sourced. The 12 pieces were beautifully presented. As I ate them, I was able to savor the deliciousness of each fish and shrimp! The sea urchin melted in my mouth with its sweetness. The lightly seared sea bream, with its decorative knife cuts, was a new experience for me in both taste and texture, and it completely changed my perception of sea bream. I felt grateful not only to the restaurant staff who carefully prepared delicious sushi despite the heavy rain, but also to the fishermen, fishmongers, and many other people. (Original) 天草にあるお寿司屋さんで、ランチを頂いた。おまかせで、にぎり12貫。最初に出てきた、蛸の子の小鉢からして、最高に美味しい! 鮨は、おそらく、地の物ばかり。 見た目も美しい12貫。食べてみて、一つ一つの魚や海老の美味しさを噛み締めることができた!口一杯にとろける甘さが広がるウニ。軽く炙り、飾り包丁が入った鯛は、味も口当たりも初体験で、鯛の概念が変わった。 大雨の時化にも関わらず、丁寧に美味しい鮨を握ってくれたお店の人だけでなく、漁師さんや、魚屋さんなど、多くの人に感謝したくなった。

(Translated by Google) Janome Sushi is one of Amakusa's top sushi restaurants. Its majestic appearance evokes the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese restaurant, making it a place where you'll feel a little special. The rice is made with traditional vinegar, and its small size makes it melt in your mouth. The toppings aren't overly elaborate, but they're all delicious, including raw octopus, silver-striped herring, and abalone. In addition to boiled soy sauce, they also offer seasonings tailored to the toppings, such as kabosu salt and pickled plum, so you'll never get bored. It's not flashy, but you can enjoy each piece of carefully prepared sushi in a quiet space. It's also recommended for a break from sightseeing. (Original) 天草で1、2を争う名寿司店「蛇の目寿し」 荘厳な佇まいはまるで料亭のような雰囲気で、ちょっと特別な気分になれるお店です。 シャリは伝統的なお酢を使っていて、小ぶりで口の中でホロッとほどける感ような食感です。ネタは奇をてらったものはないけど、生だこやキビナゴ、アワビなどしっかり美味しいものばかり。煮切り醤油だけじゃなく、かぼす塩や梅肉など、ネタに合わせた味付けもあって飽きません。 派手さはないけど、一貫一貫丁寧に握られた寿司を、静かな空間でゆっくり楽しめます。観光の合間にもおすすめです。

Kashihara is a hidden gem for seafood lovers, especially if you're in search of fresh and affordable fish dishes. On a recent visit, I discovered this delightful spot after my go-to yakiniku restaurant was closed. The atmosphere was lively, with a mix of individuals and families enjoying their meals. The fish served here is incredibly fresh, sourced from a local fishmonger, making it stand out even against the renowned seafood from Kanazawa.
This is an izakaya style restaurant that's operated by a fish shop. So fish is very fresh and their serving size is generous. Their Yakitori also is pretty good.

(Translated by Google) I had a group dinner on Sunday. As expected of Amakusa's "Kashihara", the sashimi was fresh and delicious. My favorite, the fan shrimp, is relatively well known in Western Japan, but even people who live in the same Kumamoto prefecture don't have a chance to eat it, and it can only be eaten here in Amakusa. It is smaller than the spiny lobster and has less meat, but it can be said that the meat is more delicious than the spiny lobster. (Original) 日曜日のお昼に団体で会食をしました。さすが天草・「かし原」お刺身が新鮮で美味しかったです。私のイチオシのウチワエビは西日本では比較的に知られてはいますが、同じ熊本に住む者でも食べる機会がなくここ天草でしか口にすることができません。イセエビよりも小型で身も少ないが、身の旨さはイセエビよりも上と言っても良い。

(Translated by Google) I was surprised by the taste and price! ! It was so delicious! ! If you eat fish of this quality in Osaka, it will cost more than three times as much. I thought that fish from Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture was more delicious than Hokkaido, but this restaurant surpassed the fish from Kanazawa in my opinion. Of course I love Kanazawa, but this taste and price really surprised me. It was so good that I could go to Amakusa just to get this fish. It was wonderful. I made a reservation, but it said that if I didn't make a reservation, it would be full that day and I wouldn't be able to get in, so I recommend making a reservation before going. There were two or three groups of tourists, and the rest were locals. I went there by taxi, but if you take a taxi to Kashihara-san, it's right there, and the food is delicious! ! He told me. Both the taste and the price were really delicious! ! Thank you for the meal. (Original) 味、価格驚きました!! とても美味しかったです!!大阪でこのレベルの魚を食べたら3倍以上の値段になります。 魚は北海道より石川県金沢の魚が美味しいと思ってたのですが、こちらのお店は金沢の魚を自分の中では、超えてしまいました。 金沢ももちろん大好きですが、この味とこの価格は本当に驚愕しました。 こちらのお魚を頂きに行くためだけに天草に行ってもいいレベルでした。 素晴らしかったです。 予約して行ったのですが、予約してなければその日満席で入れないと書かれていたので、予約して行かれる事をおすすめします。 観光客の方は2、3組で、後は地元の方ばかりでした。私はタクシーで向かったのですが、タクシーの方もかし原さんまでと行ったらすぐんかり、美味しいですよ!!と教えて下さいました。お味、価格ともに本当に美味しすぎて素晴らしかったです!! ご馳走様でした。

If you're on the hunt for a delightful dining experience, look no further than 賀茂川うどん.

(Translated by Google) As I was riding my rental bicycle along the main street, I noticed a sign saying ``Handmade Soba'', so I decided to have lunch there. The first thing I saw when I entered the store was a sign saying ``Amakusa Kuroge Wagyu Beef''. Amakusa + Kuroge Wagyu beef, you can't resist trying it. Soba's mood was blown away. I ordered the stamina bowl set. Steak bowl and udon set. (Where did you go soba?) I was also curious about the oden sold for 100 yen each, but I held back. The steak is juicy, tender, and easy to cut with your teeth, so you can fully enjoy the flavor and aroma of the beef. Even though it's a soba restaurant, it's amazing! I can't believe I can eat such delicious meat! It was a big hit set meal restaurant. I want to try soba next time. (Original) メイン通りをレンタサイクルで走っていて「手打ちそば」ののぼりが気になったので、ランチすることにした。店内に入ってまず目にはいったのが、「天草黒毛和牛」の貼り紙。天草+黒毛和牛、食べないわけにいかないでしょう。そばの気分が吹っ飛んだ。スタミナ丼セットをオーダー。ステーキ丼とうどんのセット。(そばどこ行った?)1本100円で売ってるおでんも気になったが我慢した。ステーキはジューシーでやわやわ、サクッと歯で切れて噛みやすいので、牛の旨味、香りを存分に楽しめる。蕎麦屋なのにすごい!こんなに旨い肉が食えるなんて。大当たりの定食屋さんだった。次は蕎麦も食べてみたい。

(Translated by Google) I had the beef udon. The soy sauce flavor was a little strong, which I didn't really like. As you'd expect from a restaurant that promotes wagyu beef, the meat was delicious! My friend got a small portion of the wagyu beef yakiniku (grilled beef) from the wagyu beef set meal, and it was very juicy and sweet. I think I'll order that next time I go ≧(´▽`) I'm used to the taste of Hakata broth, so I always find other udon noodles to be ordinary. That's not to say it's bad, though! It's a matter of taste! Everyone at the restaurant was friendly, and the service was quick, which was great! (Original) 肉うどんを頂きました。少し醤油のお味が強くて私は好みでは無かったな。和牛を推してるお店だけあって、肉は美味しかった!ツレに和牛定食の和牛焼肉を少し貰ったけど、とてもジューシーで甘みもあり美味しかった。次回もし行く機会があればこれを頼もうと思いました≧(´▽`) 私が博多のお出汁の味に慣れてるもんで、それ以外のうどんがどうしても普通だなと思ってしまいます。決して美味しくない訳ではないです!好みの問題! お店の方はみな親切で、そして素早い提供で良かったです!

(Translated by Google) It's a udon restaurant, but they also have a full Amakusa beef menu, and the 1,200 yen beef yakiniku bowl was the best! ! Five pieces of thick Amakusa beef yakiniku are delicious, sweet, and soft, and the rice goes smoothly! ! ! Vegetables such as lettuce between the rice and meat are a nice accent. Oden is self-serve by the counter for 100 yen each, which is also good. A skewer type like Shizuoka Oden.

My companion was eating nabeyaki udon. When I went on a Sanuki udon tour in Kagawa, I saw Oden and remembered it. It would have been better if the additional burdock tempura was served on a separate plate and topped with warm soup. The beer is Asahi Super Dry. Asahi is the only restaurant in Amakusa, which is the same here.

One of the few places where I can literally taste the freshness of the seafood, outside of high end sushi restaurants. It's a bit far from any major population centres to go just for the food, but definitely worth visiting if you pair it with dolphin watching/seaside visit/road trip to the area.
