Naomin and Nachu visited the National Museum of Western Arts,
which was selected as the first building of World Cultural Heritage in Tokyo
and enjoyed shopping at Ameyoko shopping street
The next place Naomin and Nachu, PASSPO visited is
Nagasaki prefecture in Kyushu
It takes only about two hours by air from Tokyo to Nagasaki
We feel it's unexpectedly near
We came to Nagasaki from Ueno, Tokyo
Look! Very nice view
Being widely open!
Now, we are next to the Glover Garden
We've already visited an Art Museum in Tokyo, registered on the World Heritage list
Former Glover House in the Glober Garden
is also registered as the World Cultural Heritage
I think there seem to be various kinds of the World Heritages in Nagasaki, too
Let's look at many World Heritages here in Nagasaki,
which are a bit different from the Tokyo's counterpart
Under the national isolation policy, as an only the city that was allowed to trade with foreign countries
Nagasaki evolved on their own
based upon the cultures of China and western countries
You can see many historical buildings here
First of all, they visited O-ura Tenshu-do (Catholic Church)
It's the Church! Great!
This is a National Treasure!
Is this also a World Heritage?
It'll be registered soon, I think
It'll be great to be registered on the World Heritage list!
O-ura Catholic Church was designated as a National Treasure
A French missionary built it in 1864, and
It's the oldest extant church in Japan
As the important church in histrical, artistic and religious respects
They highly expect this church to be registered as the World Cultural Heritage in the year of 2018
The two of PASSPO deeply touched the western culture,
The attractiveness of Nagasaki is much more than this
Look!
Gunkanjima Digital Museum
It's now a desert island, isn't it?
I've ever heard it
I want to go there. Where is it?
At this Digital Museum, there are 3D images of the island with Hashima coal mine,
which was registrated as the World Heritage in 2015, commonly known as "Gunkan-jima"
and a 30-meter screen projected by about 3 thousand pictures
Furthermore, simulated experience by VR, etc.,
You can experience the history of Gunkan-jima through the digital technology
To begin with, what's Gunkan-jima
As shown here, it's an island to mine coal, precisely!
A large amount of coal was deposited
This mine that produced coal for more than 100 years, so
The Gunkan-jima island flourished very much
In fact, I was born and have grown up in this island
You are a Gunkan-jima local, aren't you?
If so, you are very likely to give us useful information on the island
There is a very attractive tour to land the Gunkan-jima
Luckily enough, the cruise tour operates every day
Mr. Kinoshita, tour guide from Gunkan-jima accompanied with them
Let's start! When about 45 minutes have passed after setting sail,
On the right side, the Gunkan-jima came in sight
Wow, we can see Gunkan-jima
Oh, that's great!
Once thanks to the offshore coal mine, this island flourished and
supported the modernization of Japan
The quaywall surrounded the whole island and high-rise reinforced concrete apartments stand in a raw
its external appearance looks like a warship,
so it turned to be called Gunkan-jima, a warship islalnd, in English,
Let's land the Gunkan-jima with a bizarre atmosphere excites all the spectators
How wonderful!
Huge!
Vigorous!
Since many people were expected to live in such a small island,
high-rise housing comples constructed with reinforced concrete
were built in 1916 for the first ime in Japan
At peak, about 5,300 people lived here
The population desity of the island of those days was the highest in the world
It's because this island was registrated as the World Cultural Heritage,
Participants of the landing tour can visit only a limited area in the island
However, very fortunately, they could get a special approval
to visit at some restricted areas
Please look over the left side
They are so big!
This was the seven storied Hashima Junior High School
From the first to fourth floors were used for an elementary school and
the 5th and 7th floor which you can currently see its broken roof, was a junior high school
Did you go to this school?
Yes, I did!
The building in front of you was Hashima Hospital
Why not look in?
What's that?
That's the light of the operating room
They are untouched as it was at that time
You can see a slipper and other stuff
About how many years ago would that be?
They are untouched at that time
Forty something years ago. It's remaining as it was
This is No.65 block
This was a courtyard of No.65 block
Courtyard?
I used to live in the room at top floor of this building
Is that ture?
This side of the building is located at the northmost
It was awfully cold in winter
Horrible!
A lot of people used to live here. That's right!
Although the situation in here drastically changed compared to those days we lived at the time
However, my hometown is nothing but here. It does not change!
Just listening to your story
I thought It would be joyful to live in this island
I truely wish for many tourists to come to this island registrated as World Heritage more and more
and to know about how wonderful this Gunkan-jima is
By closing the mine, it has been a desert island for 43 years
At the Gunkan-jima registered as World Cultural Heritage brought about public attention again,
They had a very precious experience
The place they go continuously is
Since we are here in Nagasaki, we want to have something delicious
Speaking of Nagasaki, of course, Castella!
That's right!
Here it is!
We came over to Bunmeido, a castella shop
The Dejima in Nagasaki, which was the only the place being allowed to trade with western countries in 17th century and
The castella shop, Bunmeido started business near Dejima in 1900
The castella was said to be introduced to the Christian city, Nagasaki in 16th century by a Portuguese missionary
That evolved on their own
Here is a traditional standard castella
Granulated sugar is adhered to the bottom of castella
That's the characteristics of Nagasaki castella
I'll prepare some for you
Please wait for a moment
Let's try dishes of castella
Bright yellow!
Very good!
Oh, it's thick dough!
It's moist
Granulated sugar in the bottom of castella is very good
Just right sweetness!
This is a well-known brand of castella you should not miss whenever you come to Nagasaki
By the way, succesivly, they are going on to
Shimabara city located in the southern part of Nagasaki prefecture
Once, this city prospered as a castle town of Shimabara Castle, and
Even now, Shimabara, also called lagoon city, maintains the townscape with an exotic atmosphere even now,
Spring water flowing along the street is chosen as "Famous Water in Japan"
You can see carps swimming gracefullyy in the clean stream
Water is running! That's right!
Spring water? Yes, it is
It says we can drink it freely
It's very cold and tasty!
Very mild. Water is smooth
Hello, Oh, hello
I was very surprised! We were drinking without permission
It's a guite all right!
Are you a shorekeeper of this shop?
Yes, I'm a shopkeeper of this hardware shop. A master of the hardware?
If you are interested in, why not have a look? Yes, definitely!
The Inohara hardware store with about 140 years' history
is registrated as Tangible Cultural Properties of Japan
The store stocks various maniac items and
there are Cafe with using springwater and gallery in the rear of the shop
There are a wide variety of goods
I don't know where to see, scissosrs
Something like cutting tools, kitchenwares,
Out of all of these, the most interesting item is a real throwing nife
This is a genuine one. Really?
A blacksmith living in Miki city of Hyogo prefecture, strictly restored the throwing nife of Edo era
It's cool!
I've seen a genuine Shuriken for the first time
It's for Ninja
Can I buy it?
Yes, you can
This is the first time to see a real Shuriken
Many foreign visitors come here, don't they?
Yes, a lot
What do they look for, then?
Shuriken, I've just showed you
and swords
Oh, there are also swords here, too
This is not for sale. This was made about 600 years ago, called Wakizashi, short sword
Someone got the sword, has been taken well care of this for 600 years,
therefore, you can see the original Wakizashi kept in good condition
They feel as if they were in a toy box,
They never get tired of looking at goods displayed in the shop
You may find your faverite goods
Well, since they are here in Shimabara,
they can't remove the local gourmet
Above all, the speciality of Shimabara, Kanzarashi,
which has loved by local forks from ancient times
is made by using Shimabara's springwater, and
it's plain, but superb sweets with refined sweetness
This shop let visitors have experience of handmaking it
Right away, let's make "Shiratama-dango (rice-flour dumplings)
Knead, knead! Very enjoyable!
This is the first time to make Shiratama-dango
Really?
It's joyful
I'm sure to say the dumplings being sold in the shop are delicious, but
If you make it yourself, it'll be much more delicious to you
After kneading it fully, it's rodlikely extended and
cut it into about 1 cm size each and roll it
After boiling in boiling water for about 2 minutes
Kanzarashi, Shimabara's speciality is completed
It looks delicious!
Let's eat!
It's chewy
Very good!
This syrup is sweet, isn't it?
We use yellow soft sugar, granulated sugar and honey for the syrup
The atmosphere here is great, isn't it?
If you eat Kanzarashi with looking at the beautiful garden,
You may feel like it is much more delicious
Comfortable!
I feel time goes by slowly here
This is just Japan, I think.
Japan!
Kanzarashi of Shimabara specialty!
Why not try it together with unspoilt landscape
We visited a variety of wonderful places here in Shimabara
It was so nice!
Although I thought Tokyo was great, Nakasaki was also really wonderful
Gunkanjima was superb, wasn't it? Exactly!
I truely thought it was so great
A variety of things of those days are untuched as it was
The power of human is amazingly great, isn't it?
Both Ueno and Nagasaki are very attractive places, so
We highly recommend everyone to visit there
Except for the placs the two charming ladies visited,
there are lots of joyful places and beautiful sceneries
