Minamishimabara, Municipal center at Shimabara Peninsula, Japan
Minamishimabara spans 170 square kilometers across the southeastern section of Shimabara Peninsula, bordered by the Amakusa and Ariake Seas.
The region faced significant changes during the Tokugawa period, when authorities suppressed Christianity and local populations in 1637, leading to territorial restructuring.
The municipality maintains traditional fishing practices alongside agricultural production, reflecting generations of knowledge passed through local families.
Visitors reach Minamishimabara via National Routes 57, 251, and 389, with connections to neighboring Shimabara City for train services.
The area recorded its maximum population in 1945 and has since decreased by half, creating a distinct demographic pattern in Nagasaki Prefecture.
