The beautiful scenery of Japan's first arched stone bridge is of course the biggest attraction of Megane Bridge. In addition, there's a heart-shaped stone that is said to make love of people who find it come true, so we can enjoy looking for it! It's very lovely, so please try to find it!
The Hashima Island looks like a military ship. The ruins were the first apartments constructed of concrete in Japan and look weird now. But just the scenery of this World Heritage can recall worker's sprit in the coal mine at that time.

In Tsushima, an unique plant called Chinese Fringetree becomes its best during the Golden Week Holidays, around beginning of May. The slopes in Waniura area becomes white, ant it looks like snowscape! You can enjoy the unique flower viewing in Tsushima.◎Because Tsushima is a big island, Waniura area is relatively near from Hitakatsu Port, but Tsushima Airport and Izuhara Port are farther than you expect. So, you need to inspect the transportation and the required time beforehand ( I took my car boarding on a ferry together).
