Resorts areas popular with Japanese people include Hawaii, the Maldives and now Maejima. Come to Kamiamakusa for the most seasonal resort experience. You can enjoy yourself in various ways here: eating meals made with plenty of local seafood ingredients, going shopping in shops lined with freshly baked pastry products and souvenirs, and healing yourself surrounded by the magnificent scenery of Matsushima!
The popular L'isola Terrace Amakusa is home to the Amakusa Salt Bread Lab where you can eat exquisite salt bread in the L'isola market that has souvenirs and unusual products available to purchase. You can have a snack at the Island Stand where you can enjoy gelato with a lineup that changes in each season and at L'isola Beach Bar where you can stare out at the sunset. You can savor authentic Italian cuisine made with the ingredients of Amakusa at Plate Cafe L'isola.
In addition, the adjacent mio camino AMAKUSA is a new facility that opened in October 2019! You can have fun with various leisure experiences here. These include sea kayaking, bouldering and eating at an all-weather BBQ venue outdoors. A comfortable lawn stretches out outdoors. You will have an exceptional time enjoying leisure experiences with the contrast between the lawn and sea unfolding before you. The facility is replete with tourist information. Accordingly, you will find it useful to come here if you are visiting the area for the first time!
This Maejima area where you can have fun in multiple ways is an enjoyable space that you will not get bored of even if you spend the whole day here.

It is close to the departure and arrival point for the dolphin watching cruise ships. You will also find Sea Donut within a stone's throw of here.

People < Cats! Cats! Cats!
"A Soothing Island Full of Cats"
Yushima is located in the middle of the Ariake Sea between the Amakusa Islands and the Shimabara Peninsula in Nagasaki Prefecture. This small island, about four kilometers in circumference, is also known by the nickname of "Island of Cats." As the name suggests, there are many cats on this island. It is said that there are more cats than residents on the island. (The number of residents is about 230 while the number of cats is about 250 as of December 2024.) Each cat has been given a name and is well looked after.

Pass Through the Entrance to Take a Mysterious Trip in Time Back to the Past
The historical figure that Kamiamakusa is most proud of is Amakusa Shiro (Masuda Shiro Tokisada). Amakusa was the person who, although a teenager, marshalled the passions of the people to drive the rebel forces in the Shimabara-Amakusa Rebellion in the 17th century when the Shogunate began cracking down on Christians. The Amakusa Shiro Museum tells of the era when Amakusa Shiro lived, the history of Christianity and nanban (foreign) culture through videos, dioramas, projection mapping and performances. The facility periodically collaborates with universities to hold special exhibitions to reconstruct the situation at that time such as by displaying valuable books and tools. The museum is located within Amakusa Shiro Park. Its unique architectural beauty also makes it worth seeing.
