The Senqinishi Tourist Center is located at Noun Sendake Beach, where the famous Senji Kastella cake is also located. Nagasaki opened to the outside world as early as the 16th century, so it has frequent exchanges with Britain, Portugal and the Netherlands, and Western culture is naturally injected into the local food culture. Thousand Chicken Kastella Cake was introduced from Portugal 360 years ago. This cake shop has a history of more than 37 years and sells more than 600 boxes of cakes every day. The Kastella store, the only one of its kind, adheres to a one-stop production line. In addition to raising free-range chickens on its own farm, the cake-making workshop and sales points are also handled by itself. The biggest feature of the cake is that it is made with fertilized eggs. Because the yolk content of fertilized eggs is 20% higher than that of ordinary eggs, the nutritional value is also higher. In addition, Aino Town is second only to Hokkaido in the potato production area. The "deep-fried" potatoes here are cheap and good, and a bunch of 2 only costs 150 yen. You can also watch the production process of "Nagasaki Cake" in front of the glass window, and of course, cakes of various flavors can be tasted for free. Don't forget to enjoy the open view while you're feasting. Chisenishi Town, the western entrance of Shimabara Peninsula and facing Tachibana Bay, is one of Japan's 100 Natural Choices. Qianqianshi Coast is one of the top 100 white sand and green pines in Japan. In summer, there are many tourists from the beach, which is very lively.
