　The Gunkanjima cruise ship left the pier in front of the Nagasaki Port Terminal and sailed Nagasaki Bay toward Gunkanjima, 18 km away. There is a small mountain on the north side of the bay around the bay to the open sea, and I could see the Catholic Kaminoshima Church on the hillside. On the coast near it was the statue of the Virgin Mary on the cape. It was from a remote place because it was from the top of the ship, but I was able to see the pure white statue of Mary on the rock. It seems that he is watching over the safety of ships passing through Nagasaki Bay ...

軍艦島クルーズ船から見学

軍艦島クルーズ船で沖から見学。神の島教会とともに、海の近くに建っています。足元に観光の方が見えます。陸からも近くまで行くことができるようです。

航路安全

神の島教会を下った所にある岬に位置しています。なんとも長崎らしいというか、こういう景色は他県ではあまり見られないかもしれません。聖母の足元まで徒歩で行けますが、満潮になると帰って来れなくなるので注意した方が良いです。
