Located near the site of Ishida Castle (Fukue Castle), the street is followed by an old stone wall fence that still bears the image of the Edo period. Along the roughly 400m street connecting Nakachō and Minami-cho, dwellings of the middle-class samurai class of Goshima Domain (Fukue Domain) were once lined. The round pebbles piled in the shape of a kamaboko on the stone wall are called "spilling stones", and are said to have the role of a weapon in the event of an emergency to inform the intruder from outside by sound. In the middle of the street, there are facilities such as the "Fukue Samurai Yashiki Street Furusato-kan", which was built on the site of the city's designated historic site, "Fukue Samurai Yashiki Street", and the "Yamamoto Niisō Museum", which uses the samurai Yashiki Matsuzo residence, which can be enjoyed even just by walking.
This park is located on Matoyama-Oshima [Azuchi-Oshima], with walking promenades, and is ideal for hiking trails. The observation deck offers views of Karatsu, Hirado, and the five island islands.
In the year of Kenkyu 2 (1191), the temple is said to have been the first in Japan to join zazen by the Eisai Zen master of Rinzai (Rin Zaishu), who returned from Song. At that time, there is still a tea plantation called Fuchunen, who is said to have planted the seeds of tea brought back from Song. Down the path of the tea plantation, there is a zazen stone and the ruins of Tomichun-an, which are said to be joined by the Eiseizen master. The tea-making and tea-making method (how to drink matcha) of the Song Chozen-bashi (sokyozen-rin) carried by the Honsei Zen master was later widely established in Japan as a tea ceremony by Senrikyu [Sennorikyu], but this story is not well known.
