    Nagasaki Iki Ishidacho Indojiura 360
    This memorial museum is a 10-minute walk from Indoji Port. The museum conveys the life and achievements of Yasuzaemon Matsunaga, a man who worked to expand the use of electricity in Japan from the Meiji through the Showa periods. Built on the site of his childhood home, in the museum's garden, visitors can see a streetcar used as part of the Fukuoka City tram system he established in 1909. Inside, the museum displays items connected to Matsunaga, including personal effects and a letter from then-Prime Minister Tsuyoshi Inukai.

    印通寺港から車で数分でした。入場料を払うと最初から説明が始まり、見学エリアから外の銅像、福岡市電までずっと解説同伴でした。誰でも知っている企業がずらりとならび、晩年の写真には吉田茂、池田勇人とそうそうたる政治家との写真など圧倒されました。館内は写真撮影できませんでした。隣の生家は土間にははいれ内部の写真撮影ができました。

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.
