My second day in Nagasaki was sun-blessed. I was looking forward to eating breakfast at a hotel. It was buffet, and I chose cod ovum, sardine sausage, pickle, and miso soup with seaweed cultivated in Nagasaki. After checking out the hotel, my next destination was “Oura-Taishudo”. I paid 300 yen at a reception desk and felt that my heart was purified by fresh morning air during walking up stone stairs graving histories.
The wooden building in Gothic style is the oldest church in Japan. The church sacrificed to 26 martyrs was tidy. and a soft light shining from stained-glass window behind apse was amazing like sunbeams streaming through leaves.
I’m an atheist, but I suddenly dropped my knees and joined my hands in prayer. A receptionist told me that this holy church lost its roof, front gate, and stained glass because of blast of the atomic bomb during World War II, and my heart bleeded for the story. The church was rebuilt in 1952 with government subsidy. It took 5 years to complete it. I checked souvenirs such as sponge cakes and traditional Nagasaki glasses before going down stone slopes.
Next destination was “Nomo Peninsula”. I drove my car coastwise. When I reached a winding road, I found some desert outdoor stalls. vegetables and fruits cultivated in the area were packed into plastic bags, and there was a box beside the bags. It described “100 yen for each”. I couldn’t beleive that those fresh foods lined on a table without staffs. I can’t see such scenes in Tokyo. Additionally everything was only 100 yen. It made me happy, and I bought at 3 stalls. Of course I tasted them immediately. They were amazingly delicious.
2 hours later, I arrived at “Nomozaki Park”. I went to a restaurant for lunch. My order was Sashimi plate and grilled turban shell and lobster. Everything was homegrown. I think I don’t need to explain the taste.
My trip on 2days/1night was spiritual comfort.
