Amakusa Shiro Museum

Flow of the course

About this spot

A museum displaying materials and videos about Amakusa Shiro, known as the leader of the Amakusa-Shimabara Rebellion. Located on high ground, you can overlook Hondo's townscape and sea from inside the museum. The display and large-screen videos tell the story in ways understandable to children. The air-conditioned interior is just right for a summer rest spot while cooling off. After viewing, have lunch downtown and head to the sea.

Tips

Located on a hill a few minutes by car from Hondo downtown with free parking. Some areas inside don't allow photography, so follow guidance signs. Having lunch at downtown Hondo restaurants after viewing lets you focus on beach play in the afternoon.

Best time to visit

Takes about 1 hour. Viewing while cooling off before midday sun is recommended.
