A Trip to the Fresh Sea Breezes of Misumi and Amakusa

Located in central Kumamoto Prefecture, Uki is a quiet town where time passes slowly. The Amakusa archipelago consists of more than 120 islands encircled by the blue sea. This plan is a good option for people looking to get out of the city and relax. The A-Train is a popular JR Kyushu sightseeing train that lets passengers enjoy jazz music and drinks on board. After crossing to Amakusa via cruise ship, you will visit several famous spots, such as L'isola Terrace Amakusa, the Amakusa Pearl Garden, and Sea Donut Aquarium. A guide will take you on a tour around the World Heritage Site of Misumi West Port. Let your thoughts drift back to the turn of the 20th century as you experience the area's history. The last stop, Einoo Tsurugi Shrine, is a popular spot with tourists for its torii gate that seems to float atop the waves.
