Overview
Port-town museum where Portuguese ships first landed in 1562, preserving maritime and rebellion-era artifacts.
A small museum in the port town at the southern tip of Shimabara Peninsula documenting Kuchinotsu's role as the first port where Portuguese ships landed in 1562. Exhibits include old fishing tools, maritime navigation instruments, and artifacts from the Shimabara Rebellion. The sleepy harbor town retains its weathered stone seawalls and a pre-modern atmosphere that most Nagasaki visitors never see.
