    道の駅「みずなし本陣ふかえ」が閉館していたことは知っていましたが。まさかこの土石流被災家屋保存公園も閉鎖(令和4年12月1日-令和5年3月14日)していたとは知りませんでした。従って、避難時に使われた消防車だけ写真に収めて撤収しました。ここから普賢岳がはっきりと見えるのが良かった点です。

Nagasaki Areas

around-area-map

This hidden corner of the country is rural Japan at its best, where underground activity is to thank for active volcanoes and bubbling natural hot springs along the Shimabara Peninsula as well as the crystal clear waters of the Goto Islands off the west coast. Less well known than Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park, Nagasaki commemorates its own past at the Nagasaki Peace Park, which sits alongside the charming Meganebashi stone bridge and a mix of religious buildings with beautiful architecture, such as the Zen Buddhist Sofukuji Temple, the Confucian Shrine, and the Oura Christian Church.
