About This Destination
Scenic archipelago with Hidden Christian heritage, dolphin watching, pristine coastline, and fresh seafood, connected to the mainland by bridges.
Over 120 islands between Kumamoto and Nagasaki prefectures, connected to the mainland by five bridges. Known for Hidden Christian history—this was Amakusa Shiro's base during the Shimabara Rebellion. The Amakusa Christian Museum and historic churches tell that story. Year-round dolphin watching with ~200 Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins. Good sunsets from the west coast, some of Kyushu's freshest seafood, and the Five Bridges drive is worth it.
