Peaceful church in quiet fishing village. As the church floors are covered in Tatami mats, advised to take off your shoes.

Beautiful church with interesting history of the Catholics in Amakusa. The front is made of stone but the rest of the church is made of wood. You can enter the church to look around, but pictures are not allowed inside.

this place has really interesting history of hidden cristian. amazing and comfortable

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.

Charming church, perfect situation, great history. Christmas concert not to be missed.

Sakitsu World Heritage Village. Difficult to get to, but it's well worth it. If possible, avoid going there during the heat of summer, because of the many outdoor cats and their smell!

Worth visiting and listen to their story if you around the neighborhood. There is a tourist information centre there as well.

It’s situated on a beautiful hill overlooking the ocean. The church decor is very humble and beautiful.

崎津集落から移動してこちらへ。 25年振りの再訪でした。綺麗な外観です。駐車場からのアプローチが素敵です。 崎津と同じくカトリック教会ですので内部は同様の作りです。キリスト受難の絵画の展示もありました。 内部を観覧して外に出た時、崎津で出会った母娘とバッタリ☺️これも何かのご縁かと少しの間お話ししました。旅の醍醐味ってこんなことですよね😃 (Translated by Google) Move here from Sakitsu village. It was my first visit in 25 years. It has a beautiful appearance. The approach from the parking lot is lovely. Like Sakitsu, it is a Catholic church, so the interior is similar. There was also an exhibition of paintings of the Passion of Christ. When I went outside after looking inside, I bumped into a mother and daughter I had met at Sakizu☺️We talked for a while, wondering if this was some sort of connection. This is the real pleasure of traveling, isn't it?

Magnificent church on top of a hill. Very serene in the interior. There is a visitor's book inside the church. Lourdes grotto outside the church for quiet meditation.

これだけの歴史的価値のある建物を開放して下さっていることに感謝感謝です。入口に募金箱、そして中にパンフレット等を購入することで維持費に充てているようです。気持ちよく利用するためにも行いたいですね。 それと教会内は撮影禁止なのでご注意下さい。 (Translated by Google) Thank you very much for opening up a building with such historical value. There is a donation box at the entrance, and pamphlets and other items are purchased inside to help cover maintenance costs. I would like to do this so that I can use it comfortably. Also, please note that photography is not allowed inside the church.

Oe church After the Christianity removal of a ban, Father French propagator Garnier who gave life to missionary work to Amakusa in 1933 (Showa 8) erected current building in cooperation with hometown believer at church made with Amakusa earliest. Church of Norman architecture built on the hill.

It's a very beautiful and historical landmark in Amakusa. It's a bit hidden on a hill, but it's worth a stop over to see it.

Very nice historical place! Summer or autumn is perfect to visit there.

Quiet and accessible by bus. Peaceful place

A wonderful holy place surrounded by nature ♥

A small historic Catholic church in a pretty setting.

Amazing dophine watching cruise. Unforgettable experience even for adults.

Need 2 hour drive from kuramoto but it worth !

11:30 and 14:30 10% OFF. Nice dolphin watching

(Translated by Google) My long-awaited dolphin watching! It was quite crowded all the way to Amakusa, so I suddenly had to cancel the dolphin watching reservation I had made at another location. . . However, I didn't give up and was looking for another place to do dolphin watching, so I called them and they happily agreed to do it! This was my first time doing dolphin watching, and I was told that I would be dispatched by boat to multiple dolphin watching shops at the same time, and that we would be part of one dolphin watching group. On that day, the boat was shaking a lot due to the high waves, and the dolphins seemed to be chasing their food, so we didn't get to see many of them, but there were a lot of them! It was so relaxing to see so many dolphins swimming with their parents! I received an ice cream ticket, so I got an ice cream on the way home! There were many different types of ice cream! (Original) 念願のイルカウォッチング！ 天草までかなり混んでしまい、急遽別の場所で予約していたイルカウォッチングをキャンセルすることに。。。しかし、めげずにほかにイルカウォッチングできる場所はないかと探して、こちらのほうにお電話させていただいたら、快く引き受けてくださいました！ はじめてイルカウォッチングをしましたが、複数のイルカウォッチング受付のお店と同時に船で出向して、ひとつのイルカウォッチングの団体みたいになって観察するみたいです。 当日は高波でかなり船が揺れて、イルカも餌を追っていたみたいで、なかなかイルカの群れで見ることができませんでしたが、たくさんイルカがいました！ 親子で泳いでいるイルカがたくさんいてほっこりしました！ アイス引換券をいただいてたので、帰りにアイスをいただいて帰りました！ アイスは色んな種類がありましたよ◎！

(Translated by Google) There are 5.6 dolphin watching shops in Amakusa, and it seems like they built a large dolphin center on the land of a fisheries cooperative, a seafood shop, and a waiting room for dolphin watching, and it was an amazing building! I made a reservation online for 13:00 on the 17th, but since I arrived early, I was able to change it to 11:30. We were immediately guided and boarded the fishing boat. We had a relaxing time just the two of us and three Chinese people. The fishing boat has a tent so it's not hot and comfortable, and you can go to the tip of the boat by opening the sliding door at the front. Wear a life jacket and go to the red lighthouse where there are dolphins! I did dolphin watching from behind the boat ahead. We had a great time watching newly born dolphins and jumping dolphins. Even if you ride a lot of large boats, you can't see the people behind you, but fishing boats are the best! On the way back, the captain explained various things to us while operating the ship with the remote control! If you have a good boatman, you can see a lot of dolphins! Thank you, Captain of Hisae Maru and Iruka Marine World! I received ice cream, a keychain, and a postcard. (Original) 天草にはイルカウォッチングの店が5.6件有りますが、漁業協同組合の土地に大きなイルカセンターを作って、海産物の店やイルカウォッチングの待合室を作ったのか、素晴らしい建物がありました！ ネットで17日13時の予約をしましたが、早めに着いたので11:30分に変更してもらいました。直ぐに案内されて漁船に乗りました。中国人3人と私たち2人だけでゆっくり楽しめました。漁船は、テントが有るから暑くなく快適で、一番前のスライドの扉を開けると船の先端に行けます。ライフジャケットを着て、イルカがいる赤い灯台の先に行きます！先に居る船の後ろからイルカウォッチングしました。産まれたばかりのイルカや飛び跳ねるイルカ等楽しいひと時を過ごしました。大型船に沢山乗っても後ろの人は見えないけど、漁船は最高です！ 帰りに、船長が船をリモコン操作しながら色々説明してくれました！船頭が良かったらイルカを沢山見れますよ！ありがとう、久栄丸の船長とイルカマリンワールドさん！アイスとキーホルダーとポストカードをもらいました。

(Translated by Google) Stayed for 90 minutes, visited on a public holiday. It is best to arrive 30 minutes before the departure time, but there will be traffic jams at Amakusa Seto Ohashi Bridge, so it is better to leave plenty of time. The clerk's response is wonderful, such as allowing passengers to board the ship early or delaying the flight. (Original) 滞在時間90分、祝日に訪問しました。出航時間の30分前には到着したほうが良いですが、天草瀬戸大橋で渋滞しますので余裕を持って行かれたほうが良いかと思います。早めに乗船させたり便を遅らせたりと店員の対応は臨機応変で素晴らしいです。

(Translated by Google) You can do dolphin watching. In addition, there are many Amakusa specialty items in the store. They also sell ice cream, which was also very delicious. (Original) イルカウォッチングが出来ます。また、店内には、天草名物の物が沢山あります。アイスも販売されていて、こちらもとてもおいしかったです。

(Translated by Google) You can definitely see dolphins! There were some boats that looked like cruisers and some that looked like fishing boats, but I think the fishing boats were better because they were closer to the sea (^-^ゞ However, if you park in the wrong parking lot, the old man who runs the curry shop next door comes to scold you with the face of a demon. I think we owe a lot of money to the dolphin watching tourists, but I find his tone extremely disappointing. (Original) イルカが確実にみれます！船はクルーザー的なやつと、漁船のようなものがありましたが、漁船の方が海と近くて良かったとおもいます(^-^ゞ が、駐車場を間違うとその隣のカレー屋の親父が鬼の形相で叱りにきます。少なからずイルカウォッチング観光客の恩恵に預かっていると思うのですが、あの口調は非常に残念です。

It was a very large and magnificent cathedral. Shooting is prohibited inside the cathedral. It's a holy place, so it's natural. It's a beautiful church.

Beautiful and the history of this place is amazing

It was closed.

(Translated by Google) Exhibits and videos were easy to understand I learned a lot of things that I couldn't understand in history textbooks. (Original) 展示やビデオがわかりやすかった 歴史の教科書ではわからない事が良くわかった

(Translated by Google) You will deepen your understanding of the history of the Shimabara/Amakusa Uprising. However, the Amakusa Shiro Jinchu Flag, which is a nationally designated important cultural property, is usually a replica... (Original) 島原・天草一揆に関する歴史の理解が深まります。ただ国指定重要文化財である [天草四郎陣中旗] は普段展示されているのはレプリカでした…。

(Translated by Google) I learned something. I already knew the name Amakusa Shiro, but the inside of the museum was written in chronological order of Japanese history and world history, so I was able to reacquaint myself with Amakusa Shiro in an easy-to-understand manner. (Original) 勉強になった。 天草四郎と言う名前は分かっていたが館内は日本史、世界史的な時系列で記載されていて分かりやすく天草四郎の事を再認識できた。

(Translated by Google) I learned a lot about the Shimabara Rebellion. Amakusa Shiro is He was made into a commander-in-chief, I met those expectations. 16 year old boy I heard from the curator that Admission fee is 300 yen, Thank you for the explanation.

(Translated by Google) Correjo means university. We had you explain carefully. I felt kindness in the tone of the bamboo pipe organ. (Original) コレジョは大学のことだそうです。丁寧に説明していただきました。竹のパイプオルガンの音色に優しさを感じました。

(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) Many materials of Christian culture that was transmitted to Amakusa were exhibited. (Original) 天草に伝わったキリスト教文化の資料が数多く展示されていました。

(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 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 Ancestor Materials Exhibition Room,'' which I thought were permanent exhibits worth seeing. Furthermore, 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) The staff were very kind and I learned a lot. (Original) 係員の方もとても親切で、いい勉強になりました

(Translated by Google) The staff member gave us a detailed explanation and let us play the bamboo pipe organ. I had a valuable experience. (Original) 係員さんが詳しく説明して下さり、竹製のパイプオルガンを弾かせてくださいました。貴重な経験ができました。

(Translated by Google) The former director gave a very detailed explanation for about 30 minutes, and I was able to better 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。

Great, I guess in its own way.

(Translated by Google) After getting lost, I finally found it by asking a local. It appears on the way from the center of Fukami-cho to the Shimodaira district, passing through a narrow and smooth road. I was in trouble because I had to park my car on the street. It was in full bloom and beautiful. There were some Kawazu cherry blossoms planted along the road, which were beautiful. (Original) 迷いながらようやく地元の人に聞いてたどり着きました。道も狭くグネグネ道を通り深海町中心部から下平地区に行く途中に現れます。車を路駐しないといけないので困りました。 ちょうど満開で綺麗でした。途中の道路沿いにも少し河津桜を植えてあり綺麗でした。

(Translated by Google) Go without hesitation. You'll understand when you go (Original) 迷わず行けよ。行けば分かるさ

I had an octopus tendon. Against a very seductive photo of the menus, the quantity of octopus is very much diluted with vegetable tempuras, which was utterly disappointing. Without that point, it seems no problem at all while I will not be there in once again. Regards, Okamoto

Nice scenery

(Translated by Google) From the toll road exit, turn right on the opposite side of the city center and you will soon see Michi-no-Eki Ariake. The view is good and you can see the sea. There is also an octopus object that is even bigger and has a strong presence. Roadside stations have many attractive products. Personally, I was interested in Amakusa no Aosato and Coffee Milk. I recommend stopping by if you go to Amakusa. (Original) 有料道路出口から、中心地とは逆側に右折すると、すぐに道の駅有明が見えてきます。 見晴らしが良く、海が一望出来ます。 更にデカくて存在感のあるタコのオブジェがあります。 道の駅は魅力的な商品が沢山あります。 個人的には天草のあおさと、珈琲牛乳のもと、が気になりました。 天草行ったら立ち寄る事をオススメします。

(Translated by Google) It was a perfect roadside station with plenty of souvenirs, food, and even a hot spring. (There is no hot spring included) For meals, you can change the rice of various set meals to octopus rice for a fee, and the octopus was fluffy and delicious. (Original) お土産も豊富で食事もできる、更には温泉まで有るという至れり尽くせりな道の駅でした。(温泉は入っていませんが) 食事は各種定食のご飯を有料でタコ飯に変えられるのですが、イイダコがフワフワで美味しかったです

(Translated by Google) A roadside station with a nice view overlooking the ocean. It seems that octopus🐙 is famous. There are fewer people in the afternoon on weekdays. The octopus monument feels a little scary. It's there after you cross the pedestrian bridge. (Original) 海が見渡せて眺めのいい道の駅。タコ🐙が有名みたいです。平日の昼下がり人は少なめです。タコのモニュメント少し怖さを感じます。歩道橋を渡ったらあります。

(Translated by Google) A roadside station located just beyond Amakusa Gokyo Bridge. It was attached to the hot spring facility Ripland, so I was quite confused when trying to navigate. However, on the opposite shore, you can see Nagasaki Prefecture's Shimabara Peninsula in the distance, especially Mt. Unzen and Mt. Fugen, and the color of the sea is completely different from the Yatsushiro Bay side to the south, which has many tidal flats. Of course, you can eat delicious octopus because it is located along the octopus road. There is also a prawn farming base nearby, and the seafood including that is the best. Unfortunately, the recommended octopus tempura bowl is sold out. You can fully enjoy the 10 special seafood bowls for 2,000 yen per day. Not only the seafood bowl but also the clam soup that comes with it is super delicious. I want to go again just for this. My family ordered seafood champon. It was topped with fried octopus the size of a rice octopus, and everyone laughed as expected. A recommended roadside station in the area. I really enjoyed it (Original) 天草五橋を超えたすぐにある道の駅。温泉施設リップランドと併設されており、ナビを入れる時にずいぶん混乱した。しかし、対岸には長崎県の島原半島、特に雲仙・普賢岳が遠望でき、干潟が多い南の八代湾側と異なり海の色が全く違う。もちろん蛸街道沿いにあるため美味しいタコが食べられる。また近くには車海老の養殖基地もあり、それも含めた海の幸は最高。オススメのタコ天丼は残念なが売り切れ。一日限定10食の特選海鮮丼2,000円で十分に堪能。海鮮丼はもちろん付出しのアサリのお吸い物が超絶美味。これだけでもまた行きたい。家族は海鮮チャンポンをオーダー。上に飯蛸サイズのタコの唐揚げがトッピングされており、流石👍とみんなで笑った。界隈ではオススメの道の駅。本当に堪能しました

(Translated by Google) I bought some takoyaki because it's famous for its octopus, but I was very disappointed because it looked like I couldn't tell where the octopus was. I guess it can't be helped because the price was cheap at 400 yen? If I was pushing the octopus, I would have liked it to be a little more fun. Also, the store advertised that a sponge cake with cream and citrus jam inside could only be purchased in Ariake, so I bought it, but it turned out to be a candy from Ehime Prefecture. The taste is also disappointing. I can't feel the citrus taste. If the weather is good, you can see Shimabara on the opposite shore, and the large octopus object is also a great spot to see it. (Original) タコが有名ということで、たこ焼きを購入しましたが、何処にタコが入っているかわからない様なたこ焼きでとっても残念でした。お値段が400円と安かったから仕方がないのかな？ タコを推しているのなら、もう少し楽しませて欲しかった。 また、スポンジの中にクリームが柑橘のジャムが入っているお菓子が有明でしか購入できないとお店がうたっていたので、購入したが愛媛県のお菓子だった。味も⁇柑橘味感じられず⁉️これも残念😢 景色は天気が良ければ対岸の島原が望め、タコの大きなオブジェも良い映えスポットです

(Translated by Google) I stopped by while sightseeing in Amakusa. You can see the octopus monument and Shirogahama Beach by crossing the pedestrian bridge. Shirogahama Beach has a beautiful sandy beach and looks pleasant in the summer. Santa Maria Hall appeared to be closed. The parking lot in front of Ripple Land is a little narrow, but the parking lot at the entrance of the roadside station is large enough to park about 10 trucks. I used Ariake Onsen Sazanami-no-Yu, but the open-air bath with a nice view was closed, so it felt a little deserted. The hot water was refreshing and there were jets and a jacuzzi, so I was able to relieve my tiredness. I got a 100 yen discount for 400 yen by showing my JAF membership card, so let's just say it's good. (Original) 天草観光の際、立ち寄りました。 タコのモニュメントや四郎ヶ浜が歩道橋を渡ると見ることが出来ます。 四郎ヶ浜ビーチは奇麗な砂浜が広がり、夏は気持ちよさそうでした。 サンタマリア館は閉鎖しているようでした。 リップルランド前の駐車場は少しスペースが狭めですが、道の駅入り口の駐車場はトラックが10台ほど停められるくらい広いです。 『有明温泉　さざ波の湯』を利用しましたが、展望の良い露天風呂が閉鎖されていて、少し寂れた感もありました。 お湯はさらっとしていてジェットやジャグジーがあり、疲れたところをほぐすことが出来ました。 JAF会員証提示で100円引きの400円で入れたので、良しとしましょう。

(Translated by Google) I decided to go to the sea, so I went to Amakusa. I went to Ariake because there is an ``Octopus Monument.'' It took about two and a half hours from Kumamoto city, but I think it's worth a visit. Park your car at the roadside station parking lot a little bit up from the entrance and head across the road using the pedestrian bridge. ``Octopus Monument'' is so realistic that it reminds you of ``Octopus and Ama by Katsushika Hokusai.'' Also, there are stairs nearby that you can go down to, and you can reach the sea in about 100 meters. Quite a shellfish or a hermit crab? I was able to see small crabs and small fish, and although it was a short time, I thoroughly enjoyed the sea. You won't get bored on the way, so I recommend it. However, when it comes to seafood for souvenirs here, other than processed octopus products (which are abundant), I don't think you should expect much. (Original) 海に行ってみようということで天草へ。有明に「タコのモニュメント」が有るということで向かう。熊本市内からは、約２時間半くらいかかったが行ってみる価値は、有ると思う。入口から少し上がった道の駅の駐車場に車を止めて歩道橋を使って道の反対に向かう。「タコのモニュメント」は、「葛飾北斎の蛸と海女」を思い出させるほどにリアル。また、すぐ近くに下に降りられる階段が有り百メートルくらいで海に行ける。けっこう貝やヤドカリ？、小さいカニや小魚を見ることが出来て短時間だがそれなりに海を満喫した。道中も退屈は、しないのでオススメ。ただ、ここで土産用に海産物は、タコ加工品(これらは、充実している)以外は、あまり期待しないほうが良いかな？

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.

Fascinating area, shrine, and Gion Bridge. Really interesting to look at the stone and the construction technique.

(Translated by Google) One of the largest stone girder bridges in Japan, designated as a national important cultural property. This is a multi-legged stone bridge, which is rare in Japan, and is made from high-quality stone materials from the Amakusa area. Gion Bridge itself was built in the late Edo period, but it is said that the stones on the pedestals under the bridge are the same as they were during the Shimabara/Amakusa Rebellion. In the 14th year of Kan'ei era, a deadly battle was fought between the Christian army and the forces of the Karatsu clan in this neighborhood, and Gion Bridge is etched in the history of the sad civil war... Gion Bridge, which makes you think about many things, is a valuable 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。

(Translated by Google) December 2020. Gion Bridge awaiting renovation. The following is quoted from the Amakusa Takarajima Tourism Association website. ``It is one of the largest stone girder bridges in Japan, and is a multi-leg type, which is rare in Japan, and has been designated as a ``National Important Cultural Property.'' It has a simple structure made of pillar-shaped stones, and the piers are triangular and streamlined for draining water. The bridge is 28.6m long and nearly 3.3m wide, and is supported by 30cm square pillars arranged in 5 columns and 9 rows by 45 legs. It was built in 1832, when head lord Kennosuke Otani took the initiative, and with the cooperation of local silver lords and common people, construction began and was completed in time for the 200th anniversary of the Kirishitan Martyrs' War. The stone is from Shimoura, and the stonemason is Tatsuemon Ishiya, also from Shimoura. ” (Original) ‪ 令和5年12月。改修を待つ祇園橋。 以下天草宝島観光協会のサイトから引用。 「石造桁橋では国内最大級、しかも全国的にもまれな「多脚式」で、『国の重要文化財』に指定されている。柱状の石を組み合わせた素朴なつくりで、橋脚は水切りのための三角形の流線型になっている。長さ28.6ｍ、幅3.3ｍ近くもある橋間に、約30㎝の角柱が5列9行45脚によって支えられている。
　建造年代は天保3年（1832）時の庄屋大谷健之助が発起して、地元銀主を始め、庶民の協力によって、切支丹殉教戦二百年祭を目途に着工し完成。石材は下浦産で石工も同じく下浦の石屋辰右衛門。」

(Translated by Google) This is Gion Bridge For safety reasons, it is currently not possible to pass through. Its appearance changes considerably depending on the tides. You can go under the bridge when the tide is low. (Original) 祇園橋です 安全のため、現在は通行することはできません 潮の満ち引きによって、かなり姿を変えます 引き潮のと時は橋の下まで行くことができます

(Translated by Google) Gion Bridge is a nationally designated important cultural property. The origin of the name Gion Bridge seems to be because it is located in front of Gion Shrine. This bridge is a multi-legged arched stone bridge (a large stone bridge with arc-shaped girders and multi-legged pillars), and is both magnificent and elegant. The bridge is 28.6m long and nearly 3.3m wide, and is supported by 45 sturdy pillars arranged in 5 rows and 9 rows, giving it an elegant and powerful appearance. It is the largest stone bridge in Japan, and is a stunning stone bridge that has a large presence even in China and Korea. It was built in 1832, and was initiated by Kennosuke Otani, the head lord at the time, and was completed with the cooperation of local silver lords and common people. The stone is from Shimoura, and the stonemason is Tatsuemon Ishiya, also from Shimoura. When I look closely at the bridge, I fall in love with the level of masonry technology that allowed the bridge to exist for nearly 200 years. Due to adult circumstances, access to the bridge is now prohibited. Furthermore, the area around this bridge is the site of the Amakusa Rebellion in November 1637, when the Sochi army led by Shiro Amakusa and the Karatsu army of Tobei Miyake, the keeper of Tomioka Castle, clashed. It is said that the river flow was stained with blood due to the deaths of both armies, and the corpses formed a mountain. (Original) 祇園橋は、国指定重要文化財です。祇園橋の名前の由来は、衹園神社の前にあることからのようです。この橋は、多脚式アーチ型石橋(桁梁円弧型多脚柱付大石橋)で、立派さの中に上品さを兼ね備えています。長さは２８．６ｍ、幅が３．３ｍ近くもある橋間に、がっちりとした５列９行の角柱４５脚で支え、その姿は優美で力強いです。全国的に見ても最大の石橋となり、中国や韓国を含めてみても大きな存在感を示す見事な石橋です。建造年代は天保３(1832)年で、時の庄屋大谷健之助が発起して、地元銀主を始め、庶民の協力しあい、完成させました。石材は下浦産で石工も同じく下浦の石屋辰右衛門です。しげしげと橋を見ていると２００年近くも橋が存在できる石工技術の高さに惚れ込んでしまいます。なお大人の事情により、今では橋への立ち入りが禁止されています。さらにこの橋のある付近は、寛永14年(1637年)11月、天草の乱で天草四郎の率いる宗徒軍と、富岡城番代三宅藤兵衛の唐津軍とが激突した場所です。両軍の戦死者により川の流れは血に染まり、屍は山を築いたと伝えられています。

(Translated by Google) I didn't take any photos because I had seen the materials at the Amakusa Christian Museum and knew that this was the place where a lot of blood was shed in a very fierce battle. I think it's a very valuable bridge. I stopped by on my way home to take a look. (Original) 天草キリシタン館で資料を見た後でしたので、大変な激戦でたくさんの血を流した場所と知り写真は撮りませんでしたが。とても貴重な橋だと思います。一眼見ておこうと帰りに寄りました。

(Translated by Google) An old stone bridge spanning the Yamaguchi River in town. The bridge itself was built in 1832, but 200 years before that, during the Amakusa-Shimabara Rebellion, a fierce battle was fought in this area, and the river was dammed up by the corpses of the war dead. When we think about the distant past, even old bridges begin to look different. Unfortunately, it is impossible to cross because it is old and there is a risk of collapse. In front of the bridge is a small park called Gionbashi Park. (Original) 町山口川にかかる古い石橋。 橋そのものは1832年の架設ですが、それに先立つ200年ほど前、天草・島原の乱ではこのあたりで激烈な戦闘が行われ、戦死者の屍で川がせき止められるほどだったとか。 遠い昔のことを想うと、古ぼけた橋も何か違った風に見えてきます。老朽化で落橋の危険があるため渡れないのが残念。 橋の手前は祇園橋公園という小公園になっています。

(Translated by Google) The bridge has a beautiful shape with a slow curve and a loop in the middle. We arrived at the port by ferry and couldn't resist making the first round trip. I would love to see the silhouette of this bridge illuminated at night someday. …. But it's a place that's a little difficult for me to visit😢. I wonder how everyone is doing⁉️ (Original) 通行路はゆっくりとした曲線を描き、途中にループがあって美しいフォルムを持った橋です。 フェリーで港に着いて、堪らず１往復「渡り初め😆」をしました。 夜間に照明で浮かび上がるこの橋のシルエットをいつか是非見てみたいと思っています。…。でも自分にはちょっと訪れにくい場所なんです😢。皆どうしてるんだろ⁉️

(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful curved bridge, and I looked at it from under the loop bridge to Gezu Island. The collaboration with the vermilion Tsuten Bridge is also a nice landscape. (Original) 綺麗な曲線を描く大橋で、下須島へのループ橋下より眺めてみた。朱色の通天橋とのコラボも良い景観です。

(Translated by Google) Went in December 2021. I came here because I wanted to see this bridge like the rainbow course in Mario Kart lol I looked at it from various places to take pictures, but it was a beautiful bridge no matter where I looked at it♪ Many people were watching from Kaisaikan Aosa, and the parking lot was full. (Original) 2021年の12月に行きました。 マリオカートのレインボーコースみたいなこの橋を見たくて来ましたｗ 写真を撮るためにいろんな所から見ましたが‥‥‥どこから見てもキレイな橋でした♪ 海彩館あおさから見てる人が多く駐車場も満車状態になってました。

(Translated by Google) It is lit up at night and is very beautiful. If you look at it from directly below, you will be overwhelmed by the huge man-made object. (Original) 夜は ライトアップされてとても綺麗。 真下から見ると 巨大な人工物に 圧倒されますよ。

(Translated by Google) Saturday, May 7, 2022 Haiya Ohashi was lit up in "Amakusa Romantic Fantasy 2021 in Ushibuka" in winter, but I went to see it on the last day with the information that it will be lit up again this time. Since 2022 is the 50th anniversary of the Haiya Festival, the color illumination for a limited time will be revived for the first time in seasons other than winter. The photo was taken from the roadside station Kaisaikan. How is that beautiful light up? I was impressed to know that the students of Ushibuka High School also participated and the work was done by hand. For detailed articles, see the Amakusa City website → Public relations → "[Celebration] 50th Haiya Festival: Students from Ushibuka High School make up Haiya Ohashi! 』\ (Original) 2022年5月7日(土) ハイヤ大橋のライトアップは冬に『あまくさロマンティックファンタジー2021 in 牛深』で行われていましたが、今回再びライトアップされるとの情報で最終日にギリギリで見に行きました。 2022年はハイヤ祭り第50回の記念大会という事で、初めて冬以外の季節に期間限定のカラーライトアップが復活。 写真は道の駅 うしぶか海彩館から撮影。 あの綺麗なライトアップってどうやってるの？ 牛深高校の生徒たちも参加し地道な手作業で行われていると知って感動もひとしおです。 詳細な記事は天草市ホームページ→広報→『【祝】第５０回ハイヤ祭り　牛深高校の生徒などがハイヤ大橋をメイクアップ！』

(Translated by Google) If you drive to the edge of Amakusa, this is also a place you should see. The loop was fun and crossed the bridge twice. The construction of the bridge itself is beautiful, so you will want to take pictures. (Original) 天草の端っこまでドライブするならここも見ておきたい所です。ループが楽しく二回橋を渡りました。 橋自体の作りが綺麗なので写真撮りたくなりますね。

(Translated by Google) I come here occasionally for fishing, but every time I come, I am amazed by the beautiful sea and delicious seafood. Haiya Ohashi Bridge is also a symbolic view of Ushibuka, which is beautiful both during the day and at night. This photo is a morning photo from Ushibuka Kaisaikan. (Original) 釣りでたまにきますがいつ来ても綺麗な海と美味しい海鮮に驚かされます。ハイヤ大橋も牛深では昼も夜も美しい象徴的な景色です。今回の写真はうしぶか海彩館からの朝の写真です。

(Translated by Google) I passed by for a night run on a business trip. The sidewalks are softly illuminated by indirect lighting on the bridge, which is not too bright, but still provides enough light that you can walk safely at night. However, there are few street lights and it is dark after the entrance to Haiya Ohashi Bridge and Tsuten Bridge on the Nagate Park side, so a flashlight is essential. (Original) 出張時に夜間ランニングで通りました。 橋上の間接照明に柔らかく照らし出される歩道は明るすぎず、それでいて十分な光量があって夜間も安心して通れます。 ただハイヤ大橋への導入部と長手公園側の通天橋以降は街灯も少なく暗いので、懐中電灯必須です。

(Translated by Google) It's bright under the bridge, so there are many people fishing. Rainbow decorations will make you want to play Mario Kart for a certain period of time during the winter. Be careful of freezing in winter (Original) 橋の下は明るいので釣り人が多い。冬期の一定期間はマリオカートしたくなるレインボー装飾。冬は凍結注意

(Translated by Google) I first saw Haiya Ohashi Bridge in Ushibuka. The looping bridge is worth seeing. It looks like it's lit up too It looks very beautiful. There is a roadside station-style facility at the foot of the bridge. (Original) 牛深のハイヤ大橋を始め見ました。 ループしてるいる橋は見る価値有りですね。 ライトアップもされている様で とても綺麗みたいですね。 橋のたもとに道の駅風の施設が有ります。

(Translated by Google) The illumination at night is beautiful. There is a free parking lot in front of the bridge, so you can park and walk across. (Original) 夜のライトアップは綺麗です。 橋の手前に無料駐車場あるのでとめて歩いて渡ることもできます

(Translated by Google) As the sun went down, the Haiya Ohashi Bridge above me was illuminated with white lights, and a white dragon-like figure floated in the night sky, seemingly heading towards the neon lights of Ushibuka town in search of human warmth. The next morning, the fishing boat came back and started cleaning up. Fishermen scattered small fish that could not be sold on the market into the sea. The flying black kites flocked to them. This is the daily scene here. (Original) 日も暮れた頃、僕の頭上のハイヤ大橋に白い照明が点った、白竜の様なその姿が夜空に浮かぶ、人の温もり求め牛深の町のネオン街ヘと向かう様にも見えた。翌朝　漁船が帰って来て掃除を始めていた、市場に出せない小魚を漁師が海に撒いた、舞っていたトンビがそれに群がる、此れが此処の日常風景なんや～

(Translated by Google) Ushibuka Haiya Ohashi Bridge in Ushibuka-cho, Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture. .... The word ``Haiya'' comes from the word ``southern wind,'' which is essential for sailing ships that leave Ushibuka and head north. It is believed that the ``wind of flies'' became Haeya, which then became Haiya. ``Ushibuka Haiyabushi'' was born in the late Edo period, when Ushibuka was a key location for maritime transportation, with many sailing ships transporting seafood and other products coming and going. It is said that the songs and dances sung and danced by the sailors on the Kitamae-bune and the women of Ushibuka were transmitted to port towns across the country. .... The focus of the design of the Ushibuka Haiya Ohashi Bridge was how to naturally blend the bridge, which is 883m long and 13.6m wide, into the Amakusa landscape with its delicate topographical lines and clear water surface. Met. The designers were Renzo Piano, Peter Rice, Noriaki Okabe, and Maeda. It was completed in August 1997, with a total construction cost of 12.2 billion yen. Avoiding suspension bridges and cable-stayed bridges, we deliberately chose simple continuous girder beams because, in the simplest way, we wanted to make the bridge stand out in the landscape as a single line, allowing it to permeate into nature. It's because he tried. The 5m height of the bridge girder is divided into three parts by the curves of the wind board and the bottom, creating a continuous rhythm of light and shadow that crosses the 19m sky above the sea as a thin, detailed, expressive curve. The upward facing flap reflects the changing colors of the sky's light onto its pure white surface, creating a rhythm of delicate rows of mirrors. It's even more beautiful at night when it's lit up. .... Haiya folk songs, which have their roots in Ushibuka Haiya Bushi in Ushibuka, Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture, have been sung throughout Japan from Kagoshima in the south to Hokkaido in the north, with Sado Okesa and Awa Odori becoming representative examples. ing. It is also thought to be the root of Tsugaru Aiyabushi in Aomori, Tasuke Haiyabushi in Nagasaki, Yobuko Haiyabushi in Saga, Kagoshima Hanyabushi in Kagoshima, and Shonai Haiyabushi in Yamagata. The lyrics are bold: ``If you go to Ushibuka three times, naked three times, even if you sell the pot and kettle, come and have a drinking party.'' (Original) 熊本県天草市牛深町の牛深ハイヤ大橋。 .... 「ハイヤ」は、牛深を出港して北上する帆船に欠かせない「南風 (ハエ)」が語源である。「ハエの風」がハエヤになり、ハイヤとなっていったと考えられている。 「牛深ハイヤ節」が誕生したのは江戸時代後期で、牛深は海上交通の要衝として、海産物などを運搬する帆船が多く出入りしていた。この北前船などの船乗りたちと牛深の女性たちが歌い踊っていたものが、全国各地の港町に伝えられたといわれている。 .... 牛深ハイヤ大橋は、細やかな地形の線と澄んだ水面が明媚な天草の風景のなかに、どのようにして長さ883m・幅員13.6mの橋を自然に溶け込ませるかが、デザインの探求の中心であった。 設計者は、レンゾ・ピアノほか、ピーター・ライス、岡部憲明、マエダ。1997年8月完成で、総工費は122億円。 吊り橋や斜張橋を避け、あえて単純な連続桁梁を選択したのは、最も簡潔な表現によって、一本の線として風景の中に橋を浮上させることで、自然の中に浸透させることを試みたからだという。 風徐板と底面の曲線により、橋桁5mの高さは3分割され、連続する光と影のリズムの形象となって、薄く細やかで表現豊かな曲線として海上の19mの空を横切る。上向きにつけられたフラップは、変化する空の光の色彩をその純白の面に反射し、繊細な鏡の群列のリズムとなる。夜はライトアップされてさらに美しい。 .... 熊本県天草市牛深の「牛深ハイヤ節」をルーツとするハイヤ系民謡は、南は鹿児島、北は北海道まで日本各地で歌い継がれて行き、佐渡おけさや阿波踊りがその代表的なものとなっている。 ほかにも、青森の津軽あいや節、長崎の田助ハイヤ節、佐賀の呼子ハイヤ節、鹿児島の鹿児島ハンヤ節、山形の庄内ハエヤ節などのルーツとなった考えられている。 「牛深三度行きゃ 三度裸 鍋釜売っても 酒宴してこい」という豪気な歌詞である。

Nice geo-park in Amakusa ~ a bit far from city centre though.

Beautiful place but very strong wind the day we visit.

Great place to go snorkeling if you aren't afraid of deep and exposed waters. Lots of fish and amazing water clarity. Beautiful out here.

Good place to see some beautiful coastline and a small rocky beech. There's also a rock formation that is supposed to look like an elephant.

Sunset is beautiful.

Accessible by bus

Cliffs up to 100m high stretch for about 4km, and islands of various sizes touch the shore. On the large island in the foreground, there is a cave that is 20m high, 8.5-20m wide, and 50m deep. Myokenura is known as a scenic spot that represents Amakusa, and has been designated as a national scenic spot and natural monument.

A beautiful white sandy beach- well worth the inconvenience!

(Translated by Google) It takes 4 hours one way from my house, but I go there several times every year. Anyway, the sea is beautiful and you can watch it for hours. You can also go fishing or find and enjoy the creatures on the rocks. This is my favorite place. (Original) 家から片道4時間かかるのですが、毎年数回行きます。とにかく海が綺麗で何時間でも見ていられます。釣りをしたり岩場で生き物を見つけて楽しむこともできます。大好きな場所です。

(Translated by Google) Personally, I think this is the most beautiful beach in Nagasaki! The clarity and the contrast between the sea and sky are nice. However, the parking lot costs exactly 500 yen in cash. It might be even better to check the low and high tide times. This will make it easier to understand the range of activities available, such as whether you can play on the beach, go to Ushibuka Beach, or go snorkeling. (Original) 個人的に長崎で最もきれいなビーチだと思います！透明度も海と空のコントラストもいい感じで。 ただ駐車場500円きっちり現金でとられますが。 干潮満潮の時間を調べて行くとさらに良いかも。 磯遊びができるのか、牛深海岸まで行けるか、シュノーケリングはできるかアクティビティの範囲が分かりやすくなります。

(Translated by Google) 2023/09 revisit No particular change 2022/08 visit The sea was as beautiful as the rumor that it is the best in Kumamoto. I visited on a weekday afternoon after Obon, and we were the only car in the parking lot. It takes a few minutes to walk along the coastline towards the beach. The only people I passed by were young children and a few childcare workers who appeared to be from a local nursery school. If such a beautiful beach existed in the Kanto region, it would probably be full of people even on weekdays after Obon. I was able to spend a truly luxurious time. It will take about 10 minutes to walk from the parking lot to this beach. The area underfoot is a rugged rocky area that looks like cooled and hardened lava from the ancient eruption of Aso, so I think sneakers are safer than wearing sandals. I thought there would be a parking fee at the parking lot, but there was no one in charge of the parking lot, so perhaps it was only charged during the peak season, even in the summer. I secretly left the fee on the office desk in the toilet and shower room to express my gratitude for taking care of this ocean (lol). Wouldn't it be a good idea to set up the donation boxes that you sometimes see at tourist spots? (Original) 2023/09再訪 特に変化なし 2022/08訪問 熊本随一という噂に違わぬ綺麗な海でした。 お盆が過ぎた平日昼間に訪れましたが駐車場には我々の1台だけ。 海水浴場を目指し海岸線を歩くこと数分。 すれ違ったのは地元保育園の人達と思われる幼児と保育士さんの数名だけ。 これだけ綺麗な海水浴場が仮に関東にあったのなら、いくらお盆過ぎの平日とは言え人で溢れている事でしょう。 なんとも贅沢な時間を過ごすことが出来た。 駐車場からこの海水浴場までは10分前後歩く事になります。 足元は太古の昔に阿蘇が噴火した際の影響と言われる溶岩が冷え固まった様なゴツゴツした岩場ですのでサンダル履きよりスニーカーがより安全の様に思います。 駐車場ではてっきり駐車料金がかかるものと思っていましたが管理者は誰もおらず、恐らくは夏場であっても最繁忙期のみ徴収されるのかもしれない。 個人的にこの海を管理頂いてる事に感謝の意を込めて、トイレ＆シャワー室に置かれていた事務机にこっそり料金を置き逃げしてきました(笑) 観光スポットなどでたまに見かける協力金箱を設置しても良いんじゃないだろうか？

(Translated by Google) It's a wonderful beach. I was satisfied with everything: the combination of natural sandy beaches and rocky areas, the highly transparent sea, and the fish swimming around. I visited again on 2023/8/20. The visibility was particularly high on this day. I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling. (Original) 素晴らしい海水浴場です。自然の砂浜と岩場の組み合わせ、透明度の高い海、泳ぐ魚たち、全てに満足しました。 2023/8/20 再訪しました。この日は特に透明度が高かったです。シュノーケリングを堪能しました。

(Translated by Google) Sunset in August, probably around 6:30pm🐟 You will have to walk along a rocky area to reach the sandy beach. No bare feet SoftBank is no longer within service☆ Recommended in the evening as there are fewer people. It's quite far away, so it might be good for people who like driving and touring. The beaches of Hondo and Ariake on the way there are also amazing 🐟 (I've also included photos) The sea is so beautiful🌟🌟🌟 (Original) 8月、多分18時30分くらいの時間帯の夕日🐟 ここの砂浜までは岩場を歩きます。裸足NG SoftBankは圏外になりました☆ 夕方位は人も少ないのでおすすめ。 相当遠いのでドライブやツーリング好きな人はいいかもですね🤔 行くまでの本渡、有明の海も最高です🐟(その写真も載せてます) 海はとっても綺麗です🌟🌟🌟

(Translated by Google) I went in August 2022. It was a very beautiful beach and there were many couples and families. Since I wanted to snorkel, I walked to a place a little far away from other people, but there weren't many fish where I dived (lol). Parking fee is ¥500 and shower fee is ¥100. (Original) 2022年の8月に行きました。 とてもキレイな海水浴場でカップルや家族連れが多かったです。 シュノーケル目的だったので他の人たちとは少し離れた場所まで歩いて行きましたが、自分が潜ったところには魚は少なかったです(泣) 駐車場代¥500、シャワー¥100となってます。

(Translated by Google) I went auto camping. After setting up our tent on the sandy beach and paying the parking fee for two days (¥500 x 2), an old man looked at the location of our tent and showed us a good spot. The lady at the shower was also kind. I was given water from a tank. As my uncle said, the waves came right up to the edge of the tent at high tide, but I think I'll be able to sleep somehow! But there were so many shipworms that I couldn't sleep in the tent and ended up sleeping in the car😂 During the BBQ, the dragonfly will come after you. At my neighbor's BBQ place, he swooped down and stole the meat and plates I was holding (scary). The shower cost ¥100 and I was able to use it slowly without any time limit. The people at the beach were very kind and nice. (Original) オートキャンプで行きました。 砂浜にテントを立て、駐車場代金を2日分払いました（¥500×2）すると、おじちゃんがテントの位置を見てくれて良い場所を教えてくれました。シャワーの所のおばちゃんも優しかったです。タンクの水がもらえたりしました。 おじちゃんの言った通り、満潮時にはテントギリギリまで波が来ましたが何とか寝れそう！と思いきや、船虫が大量で結局テントには寝れず車中泊😂 BBQ時にはトンビが狙って来ます 隣の人のBBQの所には手に持っているお肉やお皿まで急降下して来て奪って行きました（怖っ） シャワーは¥100で時間制限なくゆっくり使えて良かったです。 海水浴場の方々が親切で凄く良かったです。

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!

A small but educational fossil and geology exhibit.

(Translated by Google) I couldn't catch the ferry in time, so I was told that I could take a sea taxi from Tanasoko Port for 500 yen per person, so I decided to go there! and. I arrived in just over 10 minutes. Return by regular boat. You can finish the museum in 30 minutes. Fossil digging takes as much time as you like. Most of them were fossils of shellfish and plants. I thought 1000 yen for adults and 500 yen for elementary school students was expensive. There were no shops so I bought a bento on the way, but there was a shop at Goshoura Port that sold bento, there was also a lunch shop, and there were about two kitchen cars (because it was Golden Week). kana?). You don't have to rush to buy a lunch box on the way. (Original) フェリーの時間が間に合わず棚底港から行きは海上タクシー1人500円で行けると言われたので、それで行きます！と。10分強で着きました。帰りは定期船で。 博物館は30分あれば終わるくらい。化石ディグは時間好きなだけ。皆さん貝とか植物とかの化石がほとんどでした。大人1000円小学生500円は高いなぁと思いました。 お店がないのでお弁当を途中買って行きましたが、御所浦の港にお店でお弁当売ってあるし、なんならランチのお店もある、キッチンカーも2台程ありました(GWだからかな？)。 途中慌ててお弁当買って行かなくても大丈夫です。

(Translated by Google) When I heard about the renewal in March, I decided to go to Goshoura, which I had always wanted to go to! Well, I had no idea how to get there💦 I did a lot of research on my friends who are from Goshoura. It's Golden Week, so we headed straight for the port along Amakusa Road, which was a busy road. I was worried that if I stopped at a place to eat, I wouldn't make it in time for the ship (lol) I made a good lunch box. As I read, I bought a ticket for Tanasoko Port, had lunch in the car, and got it right. We left the port a little earlier than scheduled time and arrived at Goshoura Port by boat 🈵 while stopping at a nearby port! As soon as you get off, a dinosaur object will greet you ✨ My son is very happy🤩 There are several dinosaur objects in front of the museum, and each one is a photo spot, so it's hard to enter (lol) I think it was a happy miscalculation 😸 I had made a reservation to enter the facility, so I was able to enter the facility smoothly. There are report sheets here and there so that you can make full use of the exhibits, and you can do research based on your own theme, so I'm very grateful! I had fun looking around. Seeing the dads looking around the exhibit with great interest, I felt it was worth coming all the way 👍 With your ticket, you can re-enter on the same day, and even if you don't see the exhibition, you can go out to the observation terrace, so the view from the 3rd floor is also nice 🙂 (Original) 3月のリニューアルのニュースを知り、前から行きたかった御所浦に思いきって行ってみました! いやぁ～、行き方とか全く分からなかったから💦 御所浦出身の友達にしっかりリサーチしていきましたよ。 ＧＷもあり、とにかく道が混雑する天草路をひたすらに港を目指して進む。 食べる所に停車したら船に間に合わない不安感から（笑） しっかり弁当を作って行きましたよ～ 読みどうり、棚底港についてチケットを買い、車中でランチタイムをして正解。 時間より少し早く出港となり、🈵の船で近くの港に寄りながら御所浦港に到着！ 降りるとすぐに恐竜のオブジェが出迎えてくれるから✨ 息子大喜びで🤩 博物館前にいくつか恐竜オブジェがあり、それぞれに撮影スポットなのでなかなか入館できないという(笑)うれしい誤算もあるかと思いますよ😸 我が家入館予約をしていたので、スムーズに入館できました。 展示物をしっかり活用できるように、そこここにレポート用紙があり、自分のテーマに沿った研究ができるようになってるからとっても有り難い!と面白く見て回りましたよ。 パパさん達も興味津々で展示を見て回る姿に、はるばるでも来たかいがあったなーと感じました👍 チケットでその日は再入場も出来るし、展示を見なくても展望テラスには出ることが出来るので、3階からの眺めも良し🙂

(Translated by Google) The Amakusa City Goshoura Dinosaur Island Museum reopened on March 20, 2020. You can actually see the fossilized mandible of Japan's first tyrannosaurid, which was excavated on site, and the fossilized teeth of a sea lizard (Plioplatecarpus), a mosasaur. Since then, we have formed a sister museum partnership with the Carter County Museum in the United States, and you can see all types of dinosaur fossils, both herbivorous and carnivorous, including replicas. You can learn all about pterosaurs, sea lizards, and other creatures of the Cenozoic era. Of course, you can also learn about the history of the area from ancient times to modern times. Personally, I found the way the Diplodocus was exhibited in an unusual way (a replica of the entire skeleton was displayed lying on its side), and it was interesting to be able to see the shape of the vertebrae from various angles. (Original) 「天草市立御所浦恐竜の島博物館」に令和６年３月２０日にリニューアルオープンしています。現地で発掘された日本初のティラノサウルス科の下顎骨の化石やモササウルス科の海トカゲ竜（プリオプラテカルプス）の歯の化石など実際に見られます。後はアメリカのカーター郡立博物館と姉妹館提携を結び、恐竜の化石はレプリカを含めて草食・肉食を問わず一通り見られます。翼竜や海トカゲ竜、その他新生代の生物など一通り学べます。勿論、現地の古代から現代までの歩みも学べます。個人的にはディプロドクスの展示方法が珍しく（横に倒れた形で全身骨格のレプリカが展示してあります）、椎骨の形状が色んな角度で見られて興味深かったです。

(Translated by Google) There is a museum right in front of the Goshoura ferry terminal! Since I made a reservation, there was no waiting time at all! The receptionist is very kind and the inside of the building is very clean! Being able to move between floors using the elevator was helpful for families with children. There is a place nearby where you can experience fossil excavation, so you should definitely go there too! (Original) 御所浦のフェリー乗り場のほんと目の前に博物館があります！予約をして行ったので待ち時間は全くありませんでした！受付の方がとても親切で、館内はすごく綺麗です！エレベーターで階を移動できるので子連れには助かりました。近くには化石の発掘体験ができるところがありますのでそこも絶対行ったほうがいいです！

(Translated by Google) I went to lunch at the end of December. The weather and the view were very good. The road is a little narrow and the slope is steep, and the trees grow densely. (It can be separated, and the tree was pruned when I went) There was also a parking lot where about 20 cars could be parked and a parking lot for 2 cars right next to the observatory. The view is good enough from the parking lot, but to the observatory full of Showa era. There is a toilet on the first floor. The 2nd floor has a view from the room, and the 3rd floor is the rooftop. The wind was cold, but I was impressed to see the beautiful view from afar. (Original) 12月末のお昼に行きました。お天気も眺めも凄く良かったです。 車で行くのにちょっと道が狭めで傾斜がキツめ、木が鬱蒼と生えてます。(離合は出来ますし、行った時は木を剪定されてました) 20台くらい停めれる駐車場と展望台すぐ横に2台分の駐車場もありました。 駐車場からも充分良い眺めですが、昭和感溢れる展望台へ。1階にはトイレ。2階には室内から景色を眺められるようになっていて、3階が屋上。風が冷たかったですが、綺麗な眺めを遠くまで見れたことが感動です。

Nice view of Amakusa City center and surroundings

(Translated by Google) 2022.1.1 I went to see the first sunrise. It was surprisingly warm this year and it was the best to climb beautifully on the first day. I feel that there may be good things this year. The mountain road to the observatory is a little narrow, so if the timing is bad, it may be difficult for large vehicles to separate. The night view is also pretty good 😁 (Original) 2022.1.1 初日の出を見に行きました。今年は意外と暖かくて初日も綺麗に昇って最高でした。今年一年良い事が有りそうな気がします。展望台までの山道がちょっと狭めなんでタイミング悪いと大型車は離合がしにくくて、大変かも。夜景もなかなか良い感じかな😁

(Translated by Google) I go to Amakusa occasionally I went there for the first time The scenery is the best!! ️ (Original) 天草に時たま行くけど 初めて行きました 景色は最高‼️

(Translated by Google) This is an observation deck in the park at the top of the slope. It is located near the top of the mountain at an altitude of 220 meters and offers a panoramic view of the city of Hondo. You can enjoy the view of Mt. Unzen Fugendake to the north across the sea, and the islands floating in the Shiranui Sea to the south. Approximately 100 cherry trees, including Kawazuzakura, are in full bloom in the park, and during the blooming period from February to early April, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city and the cherry blossoms in full bloom from the observatory. (Original) 坂道を上った先にある公園内の展望台です。標高220ｍの山頂付近にあり本渡市街地を一望できる。海を挟んで北は雲仙普賢岳、南は不知火海に浮かぶ島々の眺望が楽しめます。 公園内では、カワヅザクラなど約100本の桜が咲き誇り、開花時期の2～4月上旬頃には展望所から市街地と満開の桜を一望することができます。

(Translated by Google) Kawazu cherry blossoms are in full bloom in mid-February. It was busy even during weekday afternoons. Even without the cherry blossoms, I would like to go again because the view is amazing. The road up to this point is no problem. (Original) 2月中旬は、河津桜が満開となります。平日の昼間でも賑わってました。桜がなくても、眺望が素晴らしいのでまた行きたいです。 ここまでの道も特に問題ありません。

(Translated by Google) It's large enough to take around 20 to 30 minutes to look around, but the scenery is spectacular. I went during the cherry blossom season, so the contrast between the cherry blossoms, fresh greenery, and the sea was amazing. The road going up is quite winding...there aren't many cars on weekdays, so I'm worried (lol), but you can just follow the navigation on Google Maps and you'll be fine (lol) (Original) 見て回るのは20～30分ぐらいの滞在時間で十分な広さですが、景色は最高です。桜の季節に行ったので、桜と新緑と、海のコントラストが最高でした。 登っていく道はかなりくねくね…平日は余り車通りもなく心配になりますが（笑）GoogleMapのナビ通りに進んで大丈夫です（笑）

(Translated by Google) As I was running through Shinbashi, which connects Kami-Amakusa and Shimo-Amakusa, I saw cherry blossoms 🌸 on the mountain in front of me (Mt. Mt. Mt. 100,000) and climbed up to see them. I think it was a little late for cherry blossom viewing, but the view was spectacular. It was great, several groups came for sightseeing. (Original) 上天草市下天草市を結ぶ、新橋を走っていると正面の山（十万山）に桜の花🌸が眼に映り登って見ました、花見は少し遅かったかな~と思います、でも見晴らしは最高です、数組が観光に来られました。

(Translated by Google) The early-blooming Kawazu cherry blossoms were in bloom.At night, there were no streetlights, so it was pitch black.It's great to see the night view, but the navigation system makes you cry. (Original) 早咲きの　河津桜が咲いてました　夜は街灯点かず真っ暗です夜景見物には、グー　ただしナビには泣かされます。

(Translated by Google) It was a walking competition in Hondo Minami district. The weather is nice ☀️ A perfect day for outdoor activities. The cherry blossoms will bloom soon🌸 (Original) 本渡南地区の歩け歩け大会でした。 お天気も良く☀️アウトドアに最適の日。 もう少ししたら 桜も咲きます🌸

(Translated by Google) It was my first time visiting You can see a panoramic view of Amakusa. This view was amazing I would like to visit again (Original) 初めて訪れましたが 天草を一望出来、 この絶景は最高でした また訪れてみたいです

(Translated by Google) I arrived 15 minutes before the 8 o'clock flight on August 14th, but there were still about 15 cars waiting so I still made it in time. Present your vehicle inspection certificate at the ticket office in front of you to purchase. It seems like it takes about 30 to 40 minutes to get to Kuranomoto in Nagashima. (Original) 8月14日の8時便の15分前に到着しましたが、15台ほどの待ちでまだ間に合いました。車検書を目の前のチケット売り場に提示して購入します。長島の蔵之元までは約３０分、40分ペースで行き来しているようです。

(Translated by Google) When going from Amakusa to Kagoshima, the Kyushu Expressway was closed due to snow. Why did you come here to see it? weekdays? It was snowing and there were few passengers. Instead of going fast and busy, you can also take a boat trip. (Original) 天草から鹿児島に行く際に雪の為、九州自動車道が通行止め。なんでこちらから行って見ました。 平日？雪でもあり乗客はまばらでした。 忙しなく高速で行くのでは無く船旅もありですね。

(Translated by Google) I went there by car, but it felt quite far away. As you would expect from a fishing town, the fish is fresh and delicious! There is a roadside station where you can eat fresh fish, and there are people fishing at night. There's a fish shop nearby on the first floor and a restaurant on the second floor, which seems to be delicious, but I didn't have time this time to try it. Open only during the day! There aren't many people this time of year, so it seems like it's a summer town. It is said that the long-awaited sea urchin is also closed to fishing, so let's go during the sea urchin season! Apparently, if you eat the sea urchin here, you won't be able to eat it anywhere else. (Original) 車で、行ったが、かなり遠く感じた。漁師町らしく　魚は新鮮で　美味しい！道の駅があり新鮮な魚料理も食べれ、夜中　釣り人がいる。近くに1階が魚屋　２階が、飲食店　そこが美味しいらしいのだが、今回は時間が無くて食べれなかった。昼間だけの営業！今の季節は、人が少ない　やはり夏の町らしい。待望のウニも禁漁時期と言われ　今度はウニの季節に行こう！ここのウニを食べると　他で食べる事が出来なくなる…らしい。

(Translated by Google) Take the Sanwa Ferry from Amakusa Ushibuka to Nagashima Kuranomoto, Kagoshima Prefecture. Required time: 40 minutes. It was a comfortable boat trip with both the boat and the scenery. (Original) 天草牛深から鹿児島県長島蔵之元へ三和フェリーにて。所要時間４０分。船も景色も併せて快適な船旅でした。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by during my Kyushu solo touring camp. The ferry takes about 1 hour from Ushibuka to Kuranomoto. I took a nap and the time passed in a blink of an eye lol (Original) 九州ソロツーリングキャンプ時に寄りました フェリーは牛深ー蔵之元を約１時間の船旅が出来ます うたた寝したらあっという間でしたｗ

(Translated by Google) It's convenient because it's next to a roadside station, but the directions to various places are a little difficult to understand. (Original) 道の駅と隣接していて、便利が、各所の案内が少し分かりにくい

(Translated by Google) You can eat seafood. The sea is beautiful. (Original) 海産物が食べられます。 海きれいです。
