Kumamoto|Everyone rides the A train, but never really visits Sankaku Port

This small port was once one of the three largest ports in Japan, and was listed as a World Cultural Heritage along with other buildings left over from the Meiji period. Sanjiao Port was one of the most advanced ports in the world built by the Dutch during the Meiji Restoration. It was a part of civilization and enlightenment. Today, the quiet harbor reveals the temperament of "our ancestors were also rich." Triangle, it turns out you pronounce it misumi, not sankaku! Fortunately, when I bought the ticket, I only told the guy that I wanted to take the A train 🚂, and didn’t tell him that I wanted to go to Sankaku. Otherwise it would be very embarrassing. There is very little information about Sanjiaoxigang on the Internet. Everyone takes the A train, but no one has ever taken a good look around Sanjiao West Port. First, there is little information, and second, transportation is indeed not very convenient. I called a taxi 🚕 from the station to Sihanoukville. Unlike the taxis in the city, which were all rigid, it had a pure white body and two stars on the roof ⭐️. The old man driving the car was a fashionable old man. Along the way, the old man pointed to the other side of the sea and said, "That's Unzen in Nagasaki." Then I ask, is there a boat that can go directly there? Grandpa said no. What? There isn’t any! You people from Kyushu are quite unorganized. Sanjiaoxi Port is some distance from the station, and tourists taking the A train don’t seem to come here. Tourists can either stroll around the station or go out to sea to chase dolphins. If you don’t want to enjoy the sea breeze in the winter, you can choose to go to Sihanoukville. Because we had to catch the bus back to Kumamoto, we didn’t have much time left here. We quickly had an ice cream and then went back. We’ll come back next time if we have the chance.
