Mt. Onidake, a symbol of Goto, is a 315-meter cinder-cone volcano, which last erupted approximately 18,000 years ago. The volcano, which is covered in grass now, is well-known as a venue for an annual kite flying event, and as a leisure and hiking spot.

Goto udon is Goto’s staple lunch. The noodles are lustrous and keep their shape, making them easy to eat. (The picture shows Goto Beef udon)

Saikai National Park boasts stunning scenery made up of its many islands and the sea. It covers over 400 islands of various sizes, stretching from the Kujuku Islands of Sasebo City in Nagasaki Prefecture to Ikitsuki Island, Hirado Island, and the Goto Archipelago. This facility serves as a visitor center within the National Park, and a hub for the geopark area of the Goto Islands, introducing information through video, dioramas, and panels. It also holds nature observation gatherings, courses on handicrafts that make use of natural materials, and more.
*The display panels also provide information in English.

Mount Onidake's lava flowed into the sea on a ten kilometres distance to form this beautiful lava coastline, surrounded by a lush subtropical vegetation. From the observation deck you can enjoy a great view of Mount Onidake and the surrounding islands.

At the “Abunze Visitor Centre” located nearby you can learn about the local flora and fauna.

Nizo Yamamoto (born on the Goto Islands of Nagasaki) was the animation art director for many renowned Studio Ghibli films such as “Castle in the Sky”, “Grave of Fireflies”, “Princess Mononoke,” and “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time”.

This museum is located on the Goto Islands, and uniquely, it is housed in a renovated old samurai residence that was originally built in 1863 during the Edo period.
The museum has a variety of his animation artwork on display, although most are replicas, there are a few originals as well. One of his most recent art projects, the “Goto Hyakkei,” or the “100 Sceneries of Goto”, are also on display in the museum. Wondering through the traditional samurai residence while perusing modern animation sketches inspired by Goto’s majestic nature would offer a nostalgic and memorable experience to all visitors.

The Street of the Samurai Quarter is home to rows of housing that once belonged to mid-ranked samurai, and high stone walls and yakuimon (gates with gable roofs) still stand here. The Furusatokan Pavilion in the Samurai Quarter is a tourist base created from the remains of the Fukue samurai family residence in this street.
In addition to an exhibition area that introduces the history of Fukue, this facility offers experiences such as decorating baramon kites and making stained glass keyholders. There is also a Japanese-style room where you can take a break and look out at the garden, and you can even find Goto specialty products in the cafe corner.
