    and the whaling materials are very impressive

    Original Text

    I was planning to go to see materials about hidden Christian heritage, but the whaling materials were more substantial. What kind of role divisions are there to catch large whales, how they were used after catching them, etc. I was impressed that Japanese people have used whales for a long time.

    A facility that you should definitely go to when you come to the moon

    The "Island House" is just across the Ikugetsu Bridge. I'm surprised to go there like a museum on a small island that seems to be boring. The first floor is whaling, and the second floor is an exhibition about fishing methods and hidden Christians held in the month of birth. Finally, go down to the first floor and it is the fish and fishery exhibition room "Fisherman's Arena". First of all, you will be surprised at the size of the large whale skeleton specimen on your head. You can see whale skulls, vertebrae, eyeballs, genitals, etc. that you can't usually see up close. And 2nd floor ...

    The first floor introduces the history of whaling and how to dismantle, and whale specimens. Also, many stuffed fish are on display. The second floor is an introduction to hidden Christians. I thought the specimens of fish and whales were amazing.

    The history of whaling and the history of hidden Christians were exhibited in an easy-to-understand manner. It was good that the exhibition on the last fishery of the tour course was also very easy to understand.

    A must-see whaling diorama

    Original Text

    The regional museum is located in various places, but the exhibition of 'shimakan' is very large. The exhibition of hide-and-seek Christians, island events, and fish is carefully prepared, but the most impressive thing here was the whaling exhibition. The diorama of many ships surrounding the netted whales is real, and I think children will be happy to move with whales. Thanks to this, I was able to understand the whaling method well.
