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.

Surprising variety of sea animals. Spent a good 1 hour here. Check the schedule to make sure you don't miss the Dolphin shows.

Good place, very comfortable.

very helpfull

(Translated by Google) [Date of entry: 2024/01/05] It has been over 30 years since Mui Observatory, certified by the Ministry of the Environment as ``the observatory where you can see the most beautiful starry sky in Japan for stargazing'', was built. I had always wanted to go there, and it finally happened. The director said that the building is not new, but since it is a facility for observing the starry sky, I didn't really care about the exterior. Although the facilities inside the museum are not the latest, they are perfect for acclimating your eyes to observing the starry sky, the black lights are illuminated without any gaps, the stars floating in space on the walls are hand-painted by professional artists, and shine beautifully, and the cleaning is easy. It's been cleaned. I was humbled to see that the surrounding area was being taken care of, including mowing the grass and cutting down trees. The stairs were narrow, but there were handrails so I felt safe. If anything, even if you put ivy with small autumn leaves on the building like Pazu's house in Hayao Miyazaki's film: Castle in the Sky, the atmosphere would be better😊 At our destination observatory, on a new moon night when the city lights were not obtrusive, the curator gave us a very detailed explanation of the Siberid meteor shower (2024.01.04.). I was able to clearly see Jupiter's shape, color, and moons, which I had only seen in picture books, and Subaru (Pleiades star cluster) was also clearly visible. I was moved by the story of the starry sky I was casually looking at. After the observation explanation, we were able to enjoy our time on the observation platform adjacent to the observation platform. I’m glad I went! ! We urgently need to repair the Cassegrain reflector telescope as soon as possible so that it can be viewed with automatic settings! I wish!! ️ Thank you to the curator who manually adjusted the focus ✨✨✨ Next time, I plan to collect all the astronomical stickers while checking for cloudless days and closed days. Why the name of the museum? Is it “Muey”? ? That's a nice pun...🤔...I've been wondering for a long time, but in the local dialect, "see" = "muyi"... ️!! ️ It comes from a familiar dialect❓❗️(O_O)❗️✨ I'm sorry that it's too late, but I have to take my hat off to the person who was selected for their good taste! ✨ It's very easy to remember and once you hear it, you won't forget it. There is also a campground adjacent to the site, where you can stay overnight and go to the observatory. The campsite also seems to have Segways and electric carts. There also seems to be a snack bar and cafe with a wood stove where you can drink alcohol. I would like to have a drink while looking at the stars✨✨. ‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥ [Outbound route from National Route 266] 2024.01.05.Entered] ⚫︎The road entering from Odo Port is the easiest and recommended. The straight line distance from Daido Port to the summit of Mt. Kuradake is approximately 1.8 km. Since you drive from 4.5 meters above sea level to near the top, which is about 470 meters above sea level, it's only natural that there should be some incline. In fact, I'm just grateful that I can go there by car✨ The richness of nature that can be seen on both sides of the forest road is also fun ✨ There are no street lights, so you can easily see oncoming cars at night. The local residents who live a little above the halfway point also volunteer to clean the road, which serves as a community road. 🤔✨ Mowing the grass during the rainy season or summer will leave you with no time to catch your breath. Thank you for making it beautiful. The grass and trees leading up to the observatory have been neatly mowed and trees have been cut down, and the road is all paved, with no potholes, cracks, or steps, so you can easily drive up to the observatory by regular car. *If you see a stone on the side of the road, don't worry about it because it was accidentally stepped on by a wild boar. *Foreign cars with a wide width or campers with a high height. ⚠️It is better to avoid using modified Shakotan cars. You can also pass the road from the direction of Narukawa Kannon Falls (Shimonuki Port side) without any problems. Although it wasn't in bad condition, the road looked a little narrow, probably due to the light traffic and leaves piled up on the side streets. It has a short span and a lot of curves. There are several hairpin curves, and if you don't drive in a wide radius, long cars may end up scratching your belly. ←Several scratch marks are scattered. ・Gutters without lids are for protection against heavy rain. Don't lean too far to the left 😊 *There are many wild boars and raccoon dogs. No...they can be found anywhere in Amakusa. Sometimes you can meet owls🦉 and deer✨ Keeping in mind that we are intruding on the territory of wild animals, let's drive safely and quietly observe the beautiful starry sky ✨ (Original) ［記入日:2024/01/05］ 環境省認定の“スターウォッチングで日本一美しい星空が見られる天文台”のミューイ天文台が建設されて30数年とのこと。 ずっと行きたいと願っておりましたが、やっと実現しました。 建物は新しくはないと仰る館長さんでしたが、星空を観察する施設ですから、外観はさほど気になりませんでした。館内の施設も最新ではないけれど、星空を観察するための目慣らしにちょうど良く、ブラックライトも隙間なく点灯され、壁面に描かれた宇宙に浮かぶ星々も専門画家さんの手描きで美しく光り、清掃も綺麗にされています。 周辺域の草刈りや樹木の伐採など、お手入れもされており頭が下がる思いでした。 階段の幅が狭かったけど、手すりが設置されていて安心。 何なら、宮崎駿監督作:天空の城ラピュタのパズーの家のごとく建物に葉の小さな紅葉する蔦を這わせても雰囲気が良くなったりして😊 目的の天文台では街の灯りが目障りにならない新月の夜に、しぶんぎ座流星群（2024.01.04.）の説明を学芸員さんがとても詳しく説明して頂きました。 図鑑などでしか見たことがなかった木星の形や色・衛星もハッキリ見せて頂きましたし、スバル（プレアデス星団）も綺麗に見えました。 何気なく見ていた星空のお話しに感動。 観測説明後に隣接する観測高台で楽しく過ごすことができました。行けて良かった！！ 早くカセグレン式反射望遠鏡が自動設定で見られるよう、早急な修理を切に・切に！願います‼️ 手動で焦点を合わせて下さる学芸員さんに感謝です✨✨✨ 次回も雲のない日と休館日を確認しつつ、天文シールを全部集める予定です✨ 館名になぜ？『ミューイ』なのか？？洒落とるね…🤔…と、長年疑問でしたが地元の方言で“見る”=“ミューイ”なのだと………‼️‼️ 聞き慣れた方言が由来なの❓❗️(O_O)❗️✨ 選定された方のセンスの良さに今更ながらで申し訳ないけど脱帽致しました！✨ とても覚えやすいし、一度聞いたら忘れません。 隣接地にキャンプ場もあり、泊まって天文台に行くも有りです。キャンプ場にはセグウェイや電動カートもあるもよう。お酒を飲める薪ストーブありのスナックやカフェもあるようで。 星を観ながらの一杯✨✨やってみたいです。 ‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥ 【国道266号線からの往路]2024.01.05.記入】 ⚫︎大道港から進入する道路が1番通りやすくオススメ 大道港〜倉岳山頂までの直線距離で約１.８km。 海抜４・５mの位置から標高約４７０mの頂上近くまで一気に車で上がるのですから、多少の勾配はあって然るべき。 むしろ車で行けることに感謝しかない✨ 林道両脇に見える自然の豊かさも一興✨ 街灯が無いから、夜の対向車はよく見えます。 中腹より少し上にお住まいの地元の方も、生活道路としてボランティアで道の清掃をして下さっているのでは？🤔✨ 梅雨や夏の草刈りは息つく暇もないはずです。 綺麗にして下さってありがとうございます。 天文台まで綺麗に草刈りや樹木の伐採もされており、すべて舗装道路であり、陥没・亀裂も段差もなく、普通車で問題なく登ることができます。 ※道路脇に石ころがあったら、それは猪が踏んでたまたま転がったものなので気にしない。 ※幅のある外車や車高の高いキャンピングカー。⚠️改造シャコタン車はやめといた方が吉です。 鳴川観音の滝方面（下貫港側）からの道も、離合に問題なく通れます。 荒れてはいませんが、交通量が少なめなのか脇道に木の葉が積もっているせいで道幅が少し狭く見えました。短いスパンで多少カーブが多め。 ヘアピンカーブが数箇所あり、大きく外回りで走行しないと長尺な車は腹を擦る可能性あり。←擦った痕跡数箇所点在。 ・蓋なし側溝は大雨対策用です。左に寄りすぎないでね😊 ＊猪や狸が出るのは山あるあるです。 いえ…天草全体的にどこにでも普通に居ます。 たま〜にフクロウ🦉や鹿と会えることも✨ 野生動物のテリトリーに私たちがお邪魔していることを念頭に置き、安全運転で美しい星空を静かに観測しましょう✨

(Translated by Google) Juicy hamburger steak and a wide variety of fresh vegetables. It was handmade with a chef who was particular about the sauce and it was very delicious. I was very satisfied with the all-you-can-eat rice soup and salad at the salad bar! ️ The clerk was kind and the inside was spacious and the atmosphere of Hawaii was wonderful 🌊🌺 I want to go again! !! !! (* ^ ▽ ^ *) (Original) ジューシーなハンバーグとバリエーション豊富な新鮮なお野菜。タレまでもこだわったシェフと手作りでとても美味しくいただきました。ご飯スープ、サラダバーのサラダは食べ放題で大満足でした‼️店員さん親切で店内も広々してハワイの雰囲気が素敵でした🌊🌺また行きたいです！！！(*^▽^*)

One of the best sea food restaurant in Kamiamakusa, with beautiful views of blue ocean. I have been there 2 times and found it to be pretty busy, people were all waiting. But the long waiting is worth. They serve really high quality seafoods and if you are lucky enough to get a seat by the large window that will make an experience. Go there and enjoy fresh sea food while looking at deep blue ocean.

it was an incredible experience at this place. Fish and sashimi was very fresh, also the shop owner was very kind and friendly. The different teishouku made by local products were delicious and had a good portion.

(Translated by Google) I ate purple sea urchin bowl for the first time. It was very sweet and delicious. It is provided without alum, so it has no odor. I visited before 14:00 on Saturday and it was almost full. (Original) 初めて紫うに丼を食べました。とっても甘くておいしかったです。ミョウバンを使わずに提供されているので臭みもありません。 土曜の14時前に伺いましたがほぼ満席でした。
