平戸城は、別名「亀岡城」とも呼ばれ、平戸瀬戸に突き出した平山城です。山鹿流築城法に基づき、1704年に松浦家30代・松浦棟の時代に着工され、1718年に松浦家31代・松浦篤信の時代に完成しました。その後、明治時代の廃城令により廃城となりました。 現在の平戸城天守閣は、1962年（昭和37年）に三層五階建ての形で復元され、日本100名城のひとつに選ばれています。 平戸城に隣接する亀岡神社は、松浦藩主を祀る神社です。現在の社殿は明治13年に建立され、約360坪の敷地内に本殿、神楽殿、御札所、社務所が配置されています。

Hirado Castle, also known as "Kameoka Castle," is a hilltop castle that extends into the Hirado Strait. It was built using the Yamaga-style construction method, with construction beginning in 1704 during the time of Matsuura Taku, the 30th head of the Matsuura clan, and completed in 1718 under Matsuura Atsunobu, the 31st head. However, the castle was later abolished due to the castle abolition order in the Meiji era. The current Hirado Castle keep was reconstructed in 1962 (Showa 37) as a three-tiered, five-story structure and has been selected as one of Japan’s Top 100 Castles. Adjacent to Hirado Castle, Kameoka Shrine is dedicated to the Matsuura clan lords. The current shrine building was constructed in 1880 (Meiji 13) and sits on a site of approximately 360 tsubo (about 1,190 square meters), featuring a main hall, a kagura hall, a sacred token office, and a shrine office.

Junero is a cosmetics brand that uses neroli, an essential oil extracted from Nagasaki bitter orange flowers. At Kikka Hirado, we proudly offer Junero shampoo and conditioner as amenities for our guests. Yamabe Kajuen brought the abandoned rice fields in Nagasaki Prefecture back to life by planting bitter orange trees, which were on the verge of disappearing, and then harvesting their fruit and flowers, as well as other herbs, for use in cuisine and to process into aromatic oils, revitalizing the agricultural economy of the area. The essential oil extracted from bitter orange flowers is called neroli, and can only be harvested for two weeks a year when the flowers bloom around May. It also takes a full kilogram of flowers to distill just one gram of essential oil. This rare oil has an elegant, refined fragrance that soothes and calms the mind. It is also packed with moisturizers that nourish the skin, making it an effective treatment for wrinkles and dark spots while giving off its lovely aroma. Indulge in this relaxing signature scent of Nagasaki during your stay.
