It's easy to find because your head pops out in the city with only one-story buildings. When I went there, the situation was different from the photo I saw on NET. Apparently the outer wall has been repainted. I haven't seen any other well-maintained buildings in the historic city of World Heritage Sites, so it's good to preserve them, but the colors are amazing. Isn't it better to look like it used to be? It is also a scenery of kappa that went up to the land from the position (although the lighthouse does not move).
