Goto Isle


GOTO, written "Five Islands" in Kanji characters, is an Isle part of Nagasaki Prefecture, Kyushu Island. It is consisted of over 100 small islands, with five main islands.
GOTO is a peaceful area with less development, which leaves abundant nature. You can even sight small primary forests. With a beautiful seashore, the best season to visit is said to be summer, but the fish cuisine is best in winter. Many people visit just to enjoy fishing too. There is an island with only one traffic light, and this was built to educate the children traffic law so they don't get into trouble when they go out of their island. If you want to see a "good-old" Japan, GOTO is the place.
