Probably one of the most famous spots in Nagasaki. The shrine is huge and have to climb many stairs till the shrine, there are many activities that can be done there, a play ground for children, nursery, even a small zoo but it was closed by Night( obviously 🙄). At the midnight in the new year’s day, it gets very crowded by Nagasaki people praying for good luck in the coming year.

One of the largest and most signature Shrines in Nagasaki. Kunchi festival is held to dedicate to this very shrine.

Pretty shrine with a koi pond and nice view of the mountains and city. There are a few steps up to the top but easily manageable.

Unless you are a religious person, there is nothing much to see or do here. On November 25, 2018, I bought a 1-day tram pass and tried to see tourist spots near tram stations. I did not see much and did not lose much either!

This shrine has both epic Nagasaki view and magnificent architecture on the shrine itself.

A nice and large shrine Pretty cool and they have a nice small park nearby The stairs are great to go upstairs and downstairs Toilets available Atmosphere is good and I liked it. Place to sit and benches

Beautiful shrine with a tranquil feeling. There are information posts for each shrine which we used google camera translate to decifer the texts. Very interesting history. There is a free animal park nearby ad well.

Amazing shrine full of history. We had to climb 200+ steps to reach it, but it was well worth the effort as we could also see Nagasaki from the top. Even though we went on a rainy day, it was really beautiful.

Magnificent! Going through those torii gates, climbing up the stairs and finally reaching the Suwa Shrine to offer prayers, the whole journey was very captivating. It took me about 25 minutes to reach here from Nagasaki station, for your information just in case you prefer to be on your feet than taking the tram just like me. Enjoy the tranquility.

Drop off at Suwa Jinja Shrine station and it's 2 minutes walk. The shrine is breath taking and massive in size. Not far away is Nagasaki cultural and art museum.

Beautiful shrine with a lot of stairs. When you go in summer it’s very exhausting to go up the stairs, but luckily they had a ventilated resting area. The shrine was clean and well managed. They also have guide brochures in English that talks about the history of the shrine.

This was a beautiful night walk that I decided to take to Suwa Shrine and I couldn't have been more proud of my decision. The walk up the Shrine through the many torii gates is lighted up and it is amazing all the way. I was even lucky enough to witness a blood moon from. Definitely recommend going there at night!

It is a very pretty bridge. I was in a hurry so did not have time to get the correct angles to make it look like spectacles. But even so it was pretty. I saw a lot of people around here enjoying the weather.

As its name, Meganebashi means Spectacles bridge. On a good day you will see the reflection of the bridge make it looks like spectacles. Nothing much else.. you can stroll along the river and find the heart shape stone for a good luck too. 10-15 min is enough for this place.

What a great tourist spot, got there on dusk and watched the light change. 400 year old bridge that is easily accessible and not crowded. Even found the iconic heart stone

Not very crowded. Good to see fish and turtles there.

The whole area is very pretty with these bridges all built with lava stones. Some statues are along the way and many temples in correspondence of various bridges. Herons and carpa complete the scene

Near to Chinatown. Although spectacles bridge is the most famous, the whole stretch of 6 to 7 bridges are all old and memorable. Look for the heart shape rock. We visited in Jan and town lanterns were ready for Chinese New Year. Watch the fat carps swim over the ‘divider’ too.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to make a point to see a bridge, but it was actually super cool. During the latern festival the walkway on either side was decorated with beautiful lanterns. Very happy we decided to take a look!

Beautiful location for photos and a moment’s relaxation while exploring Nagasaki.

The water had small ripples so their were no great reflection photo ops like the postcards but still worth a visit if you're nearby.

a nice area to hang out in good weather. many cafes around and benches. you can also go down to the water and feed the koi.

nice spectacles bridge. Head to the coffee place nearby (see my other review) within 3 min walk. Use Google magic eraser to blank out other people in your photo

Unique photo opportunity. Beautiful surroundings. There are pockets of payable parking lots around the area for those driving.

Read up on the history and visit off peak hours to enjoy a more serene experience. Parking easily available, charges vary, but nearer to the bridge costs more.

Cute thing that I have seen numerous times on my computer. There is an old shopping street nearby that I recommend for its nostalgic qualities. Chinatown and more modern shopping arcades are nearby.

The oldest bridge in Nagasaki that is still in use. It is near a street car stop. Worth a few minutes and a few photos of your time. It is also near the 2nd oldest bridge in the city.

Pleasant stop to have a look along the river and hear about the history of the area. There are a lot of shrines on the side away from the trams and buses but they are not visible from the bridge.

The reason I gave 3 stars is because most of the places are under renovation, which we are unable to view . Through pictures, we can envision that it will be a fantastic nice shrine . Hope to come again when it is ready .

The shrine is a beautiful place, although it’s partly under construction. Went there around 10 am on a weekend and there weren’t people visiting yet. The entrance is free but if you come by car, after exceeding some time you need to pay 100¥.

We visited this shrine in June 2015 before earthquake.

Beautiful authentic Japanese shrines! Amazing for seeing old Japanese craftsmanship.

Aso Jinja is quite old and magnificent. It's arround 12 min from miyaji station. We had booked stay near the Jinja. It's in Kyushu, Japan. There are many beautiful places in Kyushu, recommend to stay for 2 to 3 days to cover those places. There isn't much railway connectivity for those places.

Great place to visit. The temple staff are friendly and will take the time to answer any questions you might have. Seeing the rebuild that they've done is fascinating as well.

The main shrine was destroyed by the recent earthquake and they are in the process of rebuilding it. Another interesting thing about this area, there are many spring and fountains that you can hunt them down individually. These springs are also located in the shopping district and there are many nice cafe and restaurants you can try. You can go to the visitor centre for more information.

A mix of mostly new and some old as the majority of the complex was destroyed in the earthquake. Goushuine only available by the piece of paper - stupid COVID.

Shrine at Mount Aso. Building is still under reconstruction (dec-2022). The shrine hall is very big and grand.

Very little foreigners come here after the destroy of the main shrine my the earthquake. The damaged parts has been removed and it is now under reconstruction. The shopping street is very quiet and no much tourists even the shops are opened. * God bless Aso 🙏🏾

A very special outing. Love for cyclists is felt here! Pay your respects and ride safe.

Actually, this is more of a construction site as we visited this place in May 2021. The original building collapsed and is covered by a big steel construction on which the shrine is printed on. Would only recommend to visit after the construction is done. Then it might be a site worth visiting. Parking is close to the site.

The place is beautifully restored 5 years after the strong earthquake.

A large shrine complex with a lot of history. Sadly it suffered a lot of damage in the earthquake of 2016. A lot of construction is still going on and will be for some time. It is worth visiting whilst in the area to see the reconstruction, there are large boards around the site showing the process/progress.

Roller luging rocks! In American this would be illegal! The courses are great! Three courses: beginning, intermediate, and advanced. And all fast! It's best to have friends to race against. Oh yeah, feel the speed!

The roller luge (downhill go karting) is great fun with friends!

It is a nice park to play. It has karts that can be easily handled. It is fun.

Beautiful scenery, wish I got to try kayaking!

Ok

(Translated by Google) The place where my sons, who are now adults, often spent time together as a family when they were young [summer memories] A place where you can feel the workings of nature where the blue sky, Shiranui Bay and the mountains come together as one! ! It's one of the places I want to talk about forever! ! There was a time when it was closed due to heavy rain a few years ago, but it has now reopened! ! Children are cheering on holidays ☺️ (Original) 今や成人した息子達が、幼い時分によく家族で過ごした【夏の思い出の居場所】 青空と不知火湾と山が一体となり、自然の営みが感じられる場所！！ いつまでも語り継ぎたい場所のひとつですね！！ 数年前の豪雨で閉鎖されていた時期もあったが、現在は復活！！休日は子供たちの歓声が上がっていますね☺️

(Translated by Google) Roller luge is super fun. Both adults and children can enjoy it. It was worth visiting from afar. There were table seats in the air-conditioned rest area, so it was comfortable even with small children. Small children can also ride with adults, so they won't get bored, and the parking lot is conveniently located next door. If I had to force it, I would like the prices to be lowered a little. A one-day ticket is expensive at 3000 yen. The parking fee ticket is a one-time free ticket, but if you buy a one-day ticket, it's meaningless, so I'd like to see a discount or a set fee for some people. It was affected by the weather and I was unable to drive twice due to rain, so I wish there were some discounts available. (Original) ローラーリュージュ最高に面白い。大人も子供も充分楽しめる。遠くから訪れた甲斐があった。　冷房完備の休憩所にテーブル席もあるので小さな子供がいても快適に過ごせた。 小さい子供も大人と2人乗りで乗れるので退屈しないし、駐車場も隣なの便利。 強いて言えばもう少し料金を下げて欲しい。一日券が3000円と高い。駐車料金の券が1回無料券になるが、1日券を買うと意味ないので割り引いてくれるとか何人かでセット料金とかしてほしい。 天候に左右され雨が降って走行不可に2回見舞われたし、そこら辺の割引もあればな

(Translated by Google) I like Tomihiro Hoshino's paintings, so I stopped by while driving to Kumamoto. The white walls are impressive in a quiet village. Although it is a small museum, the exhibits change regularly. The first aim is Souvenir. One of the main purposes is to purchase duplicates such as postcards. It's always quiet, so it's good for viewing, but is it profitable? I'm worried if I can maintain it. (Original) 星野富弘さんの絵が好きなので、熊本までドライブした途中寄ってみました。 静かな集落の中に白い壁が印象的。小さな美術館ですが、展示は定期的に入れ替わります。一番のお目当ては、スーべニール。絵葉書などの複製を購入するのが主な目的の一つ。いつも静かなので、鑑賞にはいいのですが、採算が採れるか？維持できるか不安ではあります。

(Translated by Google) It was good to be able to take a leisurely tour. The process of completing the world of Tomihiro Hoshino's poetry was displayed in an easy-to-understand manner. (Original) ゆっくりと見学できて良かったです。 星野富弘さんの詩画の世界が完成するまでの経緯が理解しやすく展示されていました。

(Translated by Google) I also went to Midori City, Gunma Prefecture, but I didn't know there was one in Ashikita too. He has passed away. I pray for his soul to rest in peace. (Original) 群馬県みどり市にも行きましたが芦北にもあったとは知りませんでした。 亡くなられました、ご冥福をお祈りします。

(Translated by Google) Adult admission fee: 500 yen. JAF members could enter for 400 yen. It's a small and beautiful museum, and since it was a weekday, there weren't many people, so I was able to take my time to see it. I was planning to buy picture postcards for my family as souvenirs, but I decided to actually watch them and let them choose for themselves. I would like to bring my family to visit next time. (Original) 大人入館料500円。JAF会員は400円で入館できました。 小さな綺麗な美術館で平日だったので人も少なくゆっくり観る事が出来ました。 家族にお土産で絵ハガキを買うつもりだったが、実際に観て本人達に選ばせようと思った。次回は家族を連れて訪れたい。

(Translated by Google) It was my first time visiting. I was moved by the wonderful work. I went with 11 friends. The surrounding scenery was beautiful under the sunny weather. (Original) 初めて訪問しました。素敵な作品にふれて感動でした。友人11名で行きました。晴天のもと周りの景色も綺麗でした。

(Translated by Google) It was my first time here... I was able to see it slowly. (Original) こちらには、初めてでしたが…。ゆっくりと拝見出来ました。

(Translated by Google) I went to see it today. You can enter immediately from along the national highway. The parking lot was large. The entrance fee is 500 yen, and the inside of the museum is spacious and relaxing. I don't know about the paintings, but somehow I was drawn to them. The atmosphere was nice and I was able to do my laundry in a good mood. I want to go again❗️ (Original) 本日観に行きました。国道沿いからすぐに入れます。駐車場が広かったです。入館料は、500円です、館内は、広かったし、落ち着けます。絵画は、わかりませんがなんとなく足を、運びました。雰囲気も良く、心の、洗濯が、できました。また、行きたいです❗️

(Translated by Google) It was a place I had been interested in for a long time. It was good to go! ! I felt as if my stagnant heart had been washed away. With gentle pictures and gentle fonts, works filled with gratitude, thought, and love are on display. Even locals don't know much about the museum's existence, but I want more people to see it! I felt that. You can be grateful for your parents, grateful for your ordinary daily life, and grateful for the things you take for granted. (I went with my daughter, but I wonder how she felt...) As for the works, a video of Mr. Hoshino was played before the reception. I would like you to see this too. You can also purchase postcards, calendars, memo pads, etc. Admission fee was 500 yen for adults as of May 2023. (Original) 以前から気になっていた場所でした。 行って良かった！！ 淀んだ心が洗い流されたような気持ちでした。 優しい絵と優しい字体で、感謝・想い・愛の詰まった作品が展示されています。 美術館の存在を地元でもあまり知られていないのですが、もっともっと沢山の方に見てもらいたい！と感じました。 親への感謝、平凡な日常に感謝、当たり前の事に感謝する事が出来ます。（娘と行ったのですがどう感じたのやら…） 作品もですが受付前に星野さんのビデオが流されています。こちらもぜひ見て欲しいです。 ポストカードやカレンダー・メモ帳等も購入することができます。 入場料は2023.5現在で大人500円でした。

(Translated by Google) It was an art museum that I casually entered to take a break from my drive. I was drawn to the way he worked hard to do what he could, and I couldn't help but buy the book. I was even more impressed when I read this while traveling. I couldn't help but look back on my life. (Original) ドライブの休憩のつもりで何気なく入った美術館でした。自分のやれることを一生懸命にやっておられる姿に心ひかれ思わず本を購入。旅先で読んでさらに感動。思わず自分の生き方を振り返ってみました。
