Sankaku City International Exchange Village Traditional Crafts Museum & Sankaku West Port Observatory: A feast of history and scenery

#7月好去地方2025 When you come to Kumamoto Sankaku West Port, in addition to appreciating the elegant style of the harbor ruins, don't miss two quiet corners worth exploring - Sankaku Uki International Exchange Village Traditional Crafts Museum and Sankaku West Port Observatory on the adjacent high ground. The "Uki International Exchange Village Traditional Crafts Museum" located in the West Port Historical Building Complex was formerly the former Sankaku Summary Court's nurse control room and court appearance waiting room. It was built in 1920 and is a tiled wooden bungalow. It is now registered as a national tangible cultural property of Japan. The main building is a wooden structure with a typical court ancillary facilities layout of seven and a half rooms and two rooms between beams. The interior retains the division of the court's operating functions at that time, and has precious historical and architectural value. Now as a craft and exchange exhibition space, it provides local cultural experience and art exhibitions, connecting the past and the present. Climb up the steps on the path next to the exchange hall and arrive at the quiet Sankaku West Port Observatory, where you can see the panoramic view of the harbor and the vast view of the Amakusa Islands. This is a great place to take pictures of the sunset at Sankaku Port and the entire historical district, and it is also a secret place for many photography enthusiasts and travelers to stop and relax. As the sun sets, the afterglow dyes the sea and the stone embankment red, and the harbor seems to turn into a still Meiji painting, and time slows down. #Sankaku West Port #Uki City International Exchange Village #Traditional Crafts Hall #Old Summary Court #Registered Tangible Cultural Property #Sankaku West Port Observatory #Sunset View #Kumamoto Photography Spot #History and Culture #Sankaku Port Scenery #Kumamoto Free Travel #Amakusa Sea View #TripMoments Historical Travel
