It is definitely worth visiting, or I rather say it is worth traveling to Kyushu to visit Usuki Stone Buddha. There are four different areas, you can see many statues of Buddha, which are engraved in grottos. There are explanations in multiple languages by scanning QR code. That is quite helpful. The area is not very big, and it takes maybe about one hour. In front of this site, there is a field called Stone Buddha Park. As I visited, flowers were in full bloom.

The hypocentre cenotaph marks the location where the Atomic Bomb was detonated August 1945. I think it detonated around 300m above the actual ground location of the cenotaph. The site is a short 5 minute walk from the Nagasaki Peace Park. It also has the piece of the nagasaki church which survived the bombing and was moved to this location as part of the memorial. ** Note: I am a bit disappointed that nagasaki council doesn't maintain this park a bit better, as you can see in my photos, there are a lot of weeds growing and lots of missing grass patches. Out of respect to those who died here, they should at least look after the place a bit better =(

Great view from the southernmost JR station of Japan. Too bad we went there on a rainy day that we could not enjoy the greatest scene.
