[Kozushima] Arima Observatory - a scenic spot overlooking "Julia's Cross" and the ocean ⛪✨

#tripDomesticTravel I went to Arima Observatory on Kozushima Island✨️ There is a large white cross on the observation deck, which stands out against the blue sea and sky, creating a very mystical atmosphere. This cross was built in memory of a woman named Otaa Julia, who survived a sad history😌💓 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ What is Julia's Cross? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Otaa Julia came to Japan from Korea in the 16th century, and practiced Christianity. She became a concubine of Tokugawa Ieyasu, but she was exiled to Kozushima Island without abandoning her faith. The cross was erected here to honor Julia's achievements in serving the islanders. The view from the observation deck is great during the day, but the starry sky is especially beautiful🌌 It gives visitors an unforgettable impression🥰 If you come to Kozushima, be sure to visit the Arima Observatory! Experience the spectacular views and history, and you're sure to have a memorable trip🥳 #Kozushima #Arima Observatory #Julia's Cross #Spectacular View Spot #Sunset #Spectacular View of Japan #Izu Islands #Travel #Tourism
