Unzen


I have been Unzen on business for two days since Saturday. We left Kumamoto city, we used the ferry called " Ocean Arrow ". It takes about thirty minutes from Kumamoto port to Shimabara port. We went to some sightseeing at Unzen. First we have been Fukaya-town. A mudflow of volcanic material attacked there before seventeen years. About forty-four people had died for it. We can some house covered soil which keeped as the houses of those days. After lunch, we visited the thin noodles factory which is small. The thin noodles is famous in Shimabara. Of course we can try to eat.
We stayed Unzen Onsen. There are less hotspring in Nagasaki, but Unzen Onsen is famous in Japan. There is middle of the mountain. I like the quality of hotspring. Next day we went to Nita pass, and sponge cake shop call Casutera in Japan. Casutera is also famous in Japan. If we think about Nagasaki, we imagine Casutera. Shimabara is also the castle town. We went to some samurai houses.

Sounds like an enjoyable trip. My wife and I saw some cool old samurai houses in Beppu. There was an old man taking care of the grounds there who was very knowledgeable about how the samurai lived there. I imagined he was secretly a humble descendant of one of the old samurai families and trained in the social skills of a samurai himself.
