What did we see on the way

Here, I'll tell you the places we went on the way to Fukuishi Kannon (福石観音), a Buddhist temple of Shingon-shu Chizanha in Sasebo.

First, we stopped at Siebold-no-yu (シーボルトの湯) public bath in Ureshino. Ureshino is locally known as a tea garden and its hot spring resorts.

Next, we dropped in Kincharaku-kan (嬉茶楽館) tea cultural hall. I bought a bag of fresh green tea for my souvenir.

Further down the road to the south, there is a monument of the twenty-six martyrs of Japan on the mouth of Sonogi River, in Higashisonogi town, Nagasaki. This is a place of Catholic believers who martyred in the Nishizaka area of Nagasaki in 1597. Christians who were caught in Kyoto and Osaka after the Christian ban by order of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. They will be sent back to Nagasaki on foot for the purpose of punishment. They took three boats from this place and headed for Togitsu on the other side of Omura Bay. On February 5, all the twenty-six martyrs were punished in the Nishizaka area.
