Shinkamigoto, Island municipality in Minamimatsuura district, Japan
The town encompasses several islands including Nakadori and Wakamatsu, connected by the Wakamatsu Great Bridge across emerald waters of the East China Sea.
Established in 2004 through the merger of five towns - Arikawa, Kamigoto, Narao, Shin-Uonome, and Wakamatsu - creating the sole municipality in Minamimatsuura District.
The town contains 29 churches, including Kashiragashima Church built with local sandstone, representing the strong Christian presence in this part of Japan.
Daily ferry and high-speed boat services connect the town to Nagasaki, Sasebo, Fukuoka, and Goto, making it accessible for visitors throughout the year.
The Akadaki Cliffs on Nakadori Island rise 143 meters above sea level, displaying red volcanic rock formations shaped by centuries of marine erosion.
