Another place I got off the bus was here at Mutsu Park and beach. This is at the top tip of the gold fish tail if you look at a map of the island.

Next to Mutsu Park was Nagisa Park.

|
Nagisa Park had this retired sea plane from the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.

|
We couldn't enter the plane, probably because it was off-season.
|
|
Nagisa Park is also a camping ground.
