#DomesticTravelRecord During my trip to Nagasaki, I visited the "Samurai Houses" at the Shimabara sightseeing spot. The "Samurai Houses" are about a 10-minute walk from Shimabara Castle. The Samurai House Street is about 450m long with a waterway in the middle. There are stone walls on both sides. You can visit the three samurai houses for free. You can take off your shoes and go up to the tatami room. The samurai houses have thatched roofs and are simple and modest, but they are wonderful historical buildings. When you go inside, you can get a glimpse of life at that time. There is a rest area next to the last samurai house near the end of the road. The stone walls on both sides of the road were worth seeing, and they had the appearance and elegance that only old things can have. There were many foreign visitors to the "Samurai Houses". It was a wonderful tourist spot where you could feel the history and romance. It's worth seeing!
