Shimabara Spring Group

Reviewed By R9791VTjenniferr

In several areas around Shimabara you will find small canals along the roads and quite often you will find LARGE carp swimming in them. I mean 70cm no exaggeration. There are many places that offer benches to just sit and watch the fish. It is very peaceful especially after a long walk about the town.

Shimabara Castle

Reviewed By Cyber0515 - Tokyo, Japan

島原を象徴する史跡の一つです。天守は復元されたものですが威風堂々としており、ぐるっと囲まれた堀のどこから見てもその素晴らしさを窺い知ることが出来ます。 天守内は歴史資料館となっていますが、他の日本の城とは一線を画し、潜伏していたキリシタンの史料が多く展示されています。島原を中心としたキリシタンの信仰と彼らを弾圧しようとする勢力との戦いを学ぶことが出来る施設の一つでもあります。 最上階からの展望室からは、有明海と普賢岳の美しい風景を楽しむことが出来ます。武士に仮装したボランティアによるショーも行われていることがあるため、子供も楽しむことが出来ると思います。 It is one of the historical sites that symbolize Shimabara. The castle tower is a reconstruction, but it is majestic, and you can see the splendor of the castle from every angle of the moat that surrounds it. The inside of the castle tower is used as a historical museum, and unlike other castles in Japan, it displays many historical documents of Christians who were active in hiding. It is also one of the facilities where you can learn about the beliefs of the Christians around Shimabara and their battles against the forces that tried to suppress them. From the observation deck on the top floor, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Ariake Sea and Mt.Fugen. There is also a show by volunteers dressed up as Samurai warriors, which is fun for children.
