The Wild Wave, which Ryoma purchased from Glover in Nagasaki, was lost in a violent storm. Upon hearing the news, Ryoma, who was recuperating in Kagoshima from injuries sustained in the Teradaya Incident, is said to have rushed to this site and requested the erection of a memorial. [Goto Prayer Statue of Ryoma] Twelve of his comrades, whom Ryoma loved like younger brothers, were lost at sea at a young age. The statue of Ryoma that stands here is said to be praying while gazing at the place where they were lost, with the intention of praying for the souls of their comrades. #Goto Islands

You can tour Kamigotō in one day. If you're also touring Shimogotō, I recommend staying two nights. The ocean is beautiful. The island is home to the history of hidden Christians. It has a mysterious, exotic feel. The seafood is delicious. The church has a lonely feel to it. I recommend you visit at least once and experience the history.

I stayed at the Goto Islands Resort Margherita Narao in Kamigoto. The room was a cozy superior twin. The large public bath was a hot spring, so I didn't have to use the shower in my room♨️ You can use the large public bath even if you're not staying overnight, and it seems that locals come here quite frequently (every day or every other day)! And! The food here is delicious🥹 When I googled it, it said the food was delicious, so I was looking forward to it💕 The plan didn't originally include dinner, so I reserved a seat when I booked (currently dinner is only available to those who have booked a stay) and ordered the specialty "Hell-cooked Goto Udon with chunks of sea bream" from the ala carte menu. ⁡ It was just over 2700 yen for two people, but it was so delicious and the portions were amazing✨ ⁡ You can order this menu for lunch too🖋 ⁡ You can use the lunch menu regardless of whether you're staying overnight or making a reservation, so I recommend it to all Goto travelers💕 ⁡ The breakfast menu is also full of mild-tasting dishes made with plenty of Goto ingredients✨ ⁡ They have a wide selection of unique souvenirs, and above all, it's stylish, so it's popular with the ladies😍 #AccommodationReview #HotelStay #GotoIslands
