Suddenly appearing along the coastline of Minamishimabara City, "Ako Gunraku" (Ako Cluster) is a mystical spot that gives an illusion as if you stepped into a subtropical jungle. The sight of massive Ficus superba evergreen trees complexly intertwining their powerful, octopus-leg-like roots into the ground and giant boulders directly conveys an overwhelming natural life force and strong energy to visitors. The space where deep green sunbeams filtered through the trees and the sound of quiet ocean waves harmonize comfortably reminds us of the "connection with Earth" often forgotten in busy modern lives, realigning your mind and body from the core. Breathing deeply while wrapped in the mystical breath of these ancient trees is a hidden power spot that refreshes your spirit.
