Kyushu OLLE Minamishimabara Course
Kyushu OLLE Minamishimabara Course
"Olle" originated from Jeju Island, South Korea, and the term originates from a Jeju word meaning "narrow alleyways leading from the street to the houses." It's a meaningful word in Jeju, but after being used to name trekking courses it became well-known throughout South Korea. The charm of Olle is that you can take your time and admire the scenery as you walk past such natural settings as coastlines and mountains as well as the alleyways of private houses.
Mount Noroshi
In Mount Noroshi, there used to be a kiln for sending smoke signals to convey information regarding foreign enemies and others to Dazaifu, the regional government in Kyushu. View the landscape that cultivates lettuce in the autumn and winter and potatoes in the spring and summer.
Kuchinotsu Lighthouse
Since the Kuchinotsu Lighthouse was first lit in 1880, it has been ensuring the safe navigation of incoming and outgoing ships. Also, there is the Sezumezaki Lighthouse on the route, making you feel that it is a town of seamen.
Kuchinotsu Folk History Museum
Situated at the finish point of the Minamishimabara course, this museum enables you to learn about the history of the port city of Kuchinotsu. Visitors can also get the stamp of Kyushu Olle Stamp Rally here.
