Article by the Japan National Tourism Organization published on 2013/9
Autumn in Japan, when the blue sky stretches on forever, is the best season to take a drive through nature. The coast of Nagasaki Prefecture in Kyushu, with its beautiful views of a varied coastline and greenery and dotted with Catholic churches that are on the Tentative List for World Heritage Sites, is one of the most popular areas for driving in Japan. This Web Magazine introduces a driving route in which you can bask in light, wind, and beauty that starts from Hirado, which is a water gateway to Japan deeply associated with Christianity, and leads to Nagasaki City along a seaside road with an open feel.
