Huis Ten Bosch

杰杰陶TAO
Huis Ten Bosch is a very European amusement park. There are not many facilities to play in the whole amusement park. It is more like a large park. The Ferris wheel inside is very good. There are also sightseeing boats, which are also quite good. There are very few people and the experience is very good.

Unzen Hell is not a real hell, but a famous hot spring resort in Japan. There are about 30 tourist attractions here, with water vapor spraying, white smoke curling, and sulphur rocks everywhere. The most famous of Unzen Hell is the Great Shouting Hell, where hot springs over 100 degrees Celsius are rushing endlessly. Sitting in the hot spring, looking at the sky dyed red by the afterglow of the setting sun at the end of the sea, it is magnificent and warm. Saga also has the "Ureshino Onsen" which is popular among women for its ability to moisturize and nourish the skin and is known as one of the three major skin-beautifying hot springs in Japan. When tourists see such a spectacular view, they can't help but shout out loudly: "It's great." This is the origin of the name "Great Shouting Hell".

There are two performances every day, from 2:00 to 2:30 in the afternoon, which is very suitable for parent-child activities. Of course, adults are also very happy. Minister Bear is cute, lively and interactive. Not bad 👍

The surprise of Nagasaki, the view from a high place, the stunning wonders are all within sight! Although it was cloudy, it did not affect the scenery at all. The 20 yuan free threshold coupon given by Ctrip Super Traveler made the whole journey full of happiness.

Unzen Hot Spring

Although the hot springs in Unzen are unfamiliar to tourists, I found that they are not inferior to those famous hot spring towns after I came here. There are few tourists here, so you can enjoy the hot springs in your spare time.

Saga Castle Ruins

There are not many places to visit in Saga, but Saga Castle is worth a visit. In the evening, the setting sun falls on the Saga Castle History Museum like molten gold, giving this ancient city a soft and mysterious golden coat. Stepping lightly, stepping into this land treated gently by time, it seems as if you have traveled through the tunnel of time and space and returned to that turbulent era. Saga Castle, whose history can be traced back to the early Edo period, was once the location of the Saga Domain Office. However, after many wars and fires, Saga Castle has been damaged several times. Especially in the Saga Rebellion in the early Meiji era, most of the buildings in the city were burned down, and only the city walls and gates were preserved. The Saga Castle History Museum we see today was built on the basis of the reconstruction by the then domain lord Nabeshima Naomasa in 1838, and has been maintained and restored. The History Museum stands quietly under the city wall. Without the hustle and bustle of the day, it is more solemn and quiet at this moment. The city wall, the mottled stones, every brick and tile are engraved with the stories of the past. They have witnessed the changes of countless dynasties and the baptism of wind and rain, but they still stand tall, guarding the memory and glory of this land. Walking along the city wall, you can still vaguely hear the echo of history Walking into the history museum, the lights are soft and the atmosphere is warm. With more than 700 tatami mats, it is one of the largest wooden restoration buildings in Japan. The museum displays a variety of exhibits, from ancient weapons to exquisite works of art, from documentary records to daily utensils, each of which carries the weight of history and tells the past and present of Saga Castle. In particular, those historical materials related to the late shogunate and the Meiji Restoration period, through materials, images and models, present the history of this period in many ways, making people feel as if they are in that turbulent era.

Suizenji Jojuen Garden

Suizenji Jojuen Garden is also a place you can visit in Kumamoto. It takes 10 to 20 minutes by car from the city. The whole garden is quite designed. There is a very beautiful lake in the middle with many fat fish. If you like history, you can spend more time there. Normally, one and a half hours is enough to finish the tour. If the weather is good, it is still quite photogenic.

This is a sightseeing train from Kumamoto Station to Sankaku Station. The calm and majestic black color is embellished with a golden exterior, with angel-carved glass, a wooden ceiling inlaid with a golden logo, velvet seat covers with classical patterns, and colorful icy glass everywhere.
