4泊5日で九州北部を回ってきました。特に、長崎には1500年代終盤以降の歴史が色濃く残されています。キリシタン26人が殉教した西坂の丘。鎖国中に唯一交易を許された出島。そして、忘れてならないのは1945年8月9日の原爆です。夏のような日差しの中を歩き回って、すっかり日焼けしてしまいました。
Kyushu Trip 1 –Sightseeing
We traveled around north Kyushu for 4 nights/ 5 days. There are a lot of remaining pieces of history, especially in Nagasaki, from the late 1500s. Nishizaka Hill was the site of the Martyrdom of the 26 Saints of Japan. Deshima was the artificial island where commerce was exclusively allowed in the time of national isolation. Above all, what we should not forget is the history of the atomic bomb, which was released on Nagasaki on August 9th, 1945. We walked in summer-like sunshine, which darkened our skin so easily.
