Oyano is connected to the rest of Kami-Amakusa City by the second through fifth bridges: Oyanobashi, Nakanobashi, Maejimabashi, and Matsushimabashi.〔 〕 Oyano Island is home to the Amakusa Shiro Memorial Hall, a museum that documents the history of the Amakusa-Shimabara Rebellion of 1637.〔 ==Notes== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ōyano, Kumamoto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
