Omura sits on the inland Omura Bay between Nagasaki and Sasebo, anchored by the ruins of Kushima Castle and the cherry-tree promenades of Omura Park. The Omura family ruled here for nearly 700 years before the Meiji Restoration — their teamLab-illuminated castle ruins and surviving sukiya-style residences sketch that long stewardship. The bay views and pace of life are the draw.
