Huis Ten Bosch
Huis Ten Bosch is a theme park that recreates European cityscapes on vast grounds.
A 6 km long canal runs through the city, where boats come and go, and there are various amusement and museum facilities, shopping, and restaurants. In addition, seasonal flowers are in full bloom, signaling the arrival of each season.
Huis Ten Bosch is proud of its illuminations, which can be enjoyed all year round. During the "most beautiful season when the air is clear" from autumn to winter, the world's largest 13 million light bulbs shine in the "Kingdom of Light", creating a dream night before your eyes!
Iki
Iki is an island located between Nagasaki Prefecture and Tsushima. It is a land rich in nature, and many tourists visit every year for seaside leisure activities such as fishing and diving.
The highlights of Iki are the rich nature such as Saruiwa, Oni no Footprints, and Makizaki Park, all located 15 to 20 minutes by car from Gonoura Port. Iki Dolphin Park, where you can interact with cute dolphins, is about 30 minutes by car from Gonoura Port.
Although it is a small island, it is convenient to rent a car if you want to sightsee. We also recommend taking a leisurely drive around the island while enjoying each of the sightseeing spots.
Tsushima
Tsushima is located in the Genkai Sea in Nagasaki Prefecture, and is the 10th largest island in Japan in terms of area, and is an island rich in nature with virgin forests remaining.
Tsushima Wildlife Conservation Center is also open to tourists. You can see the rare Tsushima leopard cat that lives in Tsushima. Other famous local products include ``Tonchan'', which was introduced by the Koreans, shochu from Tsushima, and turban shells and turban shells.
Tsushima is a very long and narrow island, so if you want to visit the famous spots on your trip, we recommend renting a car. You can enjoy scenic spots while slowly driving to the northwestmost tip of Japan on National Route 382, which cuts across the island.
Hashima (Gunkanjima)
Hashima is an island located in Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture, and was nicknamed ``Gunkanjima'' because its appearance resembles a warship. The entire island remains as it was when it flourished, and was registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 2015.
Coal was discovered on Hashima in 1810, and as the amount of coal produced increased, the island experienced rapid growth, and in 1960 there were approximately 5,300 people living there. As the main energy source shifted to oil, Gunkanjima declined, and in 1974 Gunkanjima became an uninhabited island.
Glover Garden
In addition to the former Glover House, the former Ringer House, and the former Orto House, all of which are nationally designated important cultural properties, ``Glover Garden'' also houses six relocated and restored Western-style buildings that were scattered throughout Nagasaki City.
Nagasaki Port, green mountains such as Mt. Inasa, and a cityscape where you can feel the breath of the people are all attractive. For a limited time, the park is open at night, where you can enjoy the park's illuminations and the night view from the hill. Please spend a precious moment surrounded by history and culture.
