Japan tourism and Ikitsuki island in Nagasaki

Ikitsuki island in Ngasaki prefecture in Japan is blessed with stunning scenery throughout this adorable part of Japan.If you have a car, and a day to spare, then you may certainly want to consider paying a visit to this island, located just a bridge (and a beautiful one) west of Hirado City in northern Nagasaki. The island is remote, even by modern standards, meaning that visitors are relatively few. Centuries ago, Christians populated the island, and there are numerous monuments and sites attesting to the long, difficult history of the area. Besides the numerous Christian attractions, there are lighthouses on the northern and southern tips of the island. The views from these cliffs are tremendous, and the crumbling cliffs themselves make for some fantastic photographs.

Dr.Takasaki,my friend, who has his dental office (named Natural Teeth)in this isaland, said there is nothing special in Ikitsuki. But, I'm sure, when you visit Ikitsuki island,you can feel something special inside. In Ikitsuki it appears that God's Eden may exist because simplicity and nature come together.

 As a dentist, I have to keep studying to get up-to-date knowledge and technique in dentistry. I live and work in Tokyo, but I like to have a business trip in Kyushyu, a big south island, though it takes over 4 hours. Because I can enjoy not only learning dental skills but also seeing passionate and warm-hearted dentists.....and can enjoy gourmet tour!

 I attended a seminar called "Natural Teeth" where my friend, Dr.Takasaki, provides some useful skills and lectures about how to manage your dental office. The place locates in Ikitsuki(living moon) island, 4 hours by car from Fukuoka airport. I enjoyed it very much, but my original concern before coming there is enjoying Hirado beef tongue barbecue. Tokyo doesn't have restaurants which serve so thick tongue like the photo. Very juicy and more yummy than beef tongue I had ever eaten.

If you hope to enjoy lacal gourmet tour in Japan, please visit Sasebo, Hirado area in Nagasaki.
