 Osaki Peninsula, Nagasaki Prefecture
Osaki Peninsula, Nagasaki Prefecture

We spent a couple of nights in a home-share on the Osaki Peninsula in Nagasaki Prefecture. There's a very nice trail through the forest, some small cafes, and a "peacock" park which had some outstanding cherry trees.

This was the view from our balcony. Out over Ōmura Bay (大村湾) three very tall structures are visible in the distance. After a fair bit of searching on the internet we found out what they are and planned a visit in a couple of days.

The Osaki Peninsula has an excellent walking trail all the way around. This view of Ōmura Bay greets visitors near the outer-most part of the trail.

As often happens in our travels, Lisa has befriended a goat. This goat was someone's pet and was free-roaming during our three day visit.

The Osaki Peacock Nature Park (大崎自然公園) has, well, a lot of peacocks inside a massive enclosure, but it also has a magnificent hillside of cherry trees which were in top form in time for our visit.
