Local Guide FAQ
- What spots do you recommend in the Unzen area?
Jindai Koji in Kunimi, Unzen.
There is the Nabeshima Residence, a nationally designated important cultural property, as well as the atmospheric townscape. I recommend just walking around the streets, as it is a relaxing way to spend time.
- Please sneak in some hole-in-the-wall places that you know because you live there.
This is the road on Route 251 from the Shimabara Minami IC.
There may be many roads in Japan that run along the sea, but you can drive while enjoying the scenery of the sea as if you were in a foreign country.
After the drive, you will arrive at Minami-Shimabara, which is famous for dolphin watching. You have a fairly high chance of seeing dolphins, so why not experience it along with your drive?
- What is your most memorable trip?
For my college graduation trip, my friends and I said, "We want to go to the islands! and we went to the Goto Islands in Nagasaki Prefecture.
At the time, I had just obtained a car license and was anxious about driving, so we did all sightseeing on foot or by bicycle. It was a long distance to go sightseeing without a car, and there were moments when it was physically demanding, but I have very good memories of touring the islands while feeling the limits of my body.
I was also impressed by the many local people who were willing to talk to me, and I was able to interact with them.
I was also impressed by the beauty of the sea! The view of the clear water colors was soothing.
- What do you do on your days off?
I spend most of my time walking and reading.
There are also many hot springs, so I take a hot spring bath to refresh myself.
- Is there anything you always take with you on a trip?
I often bring my notebook or notepad and pen.
By actually writing down what I feel and think at the time, instead of using my phone, I make the trip more memorable.
