Minamata (水俣市), Kumamoto

After we left the "No.1" stone stairways in Japan, we were visited to Minamata Eco Park on the way to Izumi, Kagoshima. The city is best known as the former site of an environmental disaster caused by industrial pollution of the bay with mercury. See "Minamata disease" on Wikipedia.
