Monument on Kuroshima, bay of Usuki 2014/7/1 18:07
Hi,

I have heard that there exist a monument on the island of Kuroshima in the bay of Usuki (Kyushu) that commemorates the landing of the first Dutch ship (De Liefde) in Japan in 1600.
On the internet (in English) i can't find any pictures of this monument or information on a museum (in Usuki?) that appently has some items on display.
Can anybody help?

The small museum seems to be managed by the inn of the island.
