Hamanoura Terraced Rice Fields
3 Review30 min by car from JR Karatsu Station. Parking area is available. 45 min by bus from Karatsu (Oteguchi) Bus Center to Hamanoura Bus Stop, then walk 5 min. Hamanoura Genkai-cho, Higashimatsura-gun, Saga

Like steps climbing up from the seashore, Hamanoura Terraced Rice Field is formed on the mountain slope. The scenery of the evening sun lightening the field is very visionary. During the end of April to the beginning of May, the rice fields draw water, and the sun comes to the center. Many people visit to see this scenery.◎For the parking area gets crowded during the best season, so you should arrive earlier if you want to see the evening sun.
Kankyo Geijutsu Forest
3 ReviewBy car or taxi, 10 min from Kyuragi Station, 45 min from Saga Station, or 60 min from Saga Airport. 667 Hirano Kyuragi-machi, Karatsu-shi, Saga
Yūtoku Inari Shrine
3 Review10 min by car or taxi from Hizenhama Station 1855 Otsu, Furueda, Kashima-shi, Saga

Yūtoku Inari Jinja is a big shrine where about three million visitors come in a year, and one of the three biggest Inari Shrines in Japan. The shrine building is as magnificent as famous Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto. It's like a light mountain climbing to go to The Inner Shrine, and there're many torii arches, so we can see the beautiful scenes on the way.

Nagoya Castle (名護屋城)
1 Review70 min by car from Taku IC. Or 30 min by bus from Nishi-karatsu Station to 'Nagoya Castle Museum', then 5 min walk. 1931 Nagoya Chinzei-machi, Karatsu-shi, Saga

Nagoya Castle (it's 名護屋城 in Saga, different from 名古屋城 in Aichi) was built as a base for the dispatch of troops to Korea by Hideyoshi Toyotomi. It's selected as a special national historic site, and one of the 100 best castles in Japan. You, if not a fan of history, can enjoy beautiful scenery of Kabeshima Island and Yobuko Great Bridge!
Higata (Tideland) Yoka Park
1 ReviewBy car, 30 min from Saga Station of JR Nagasaki Honsen Line, 45 min from Sagayamato IC 2885-2 Shimokoga Higashiyoka-cho, Saga-shi, Saga

Outside the park, there's the vast tideland as long as 4-5 kilometers! You can see 'Mutsugoro' mudskippers with lovely blue spots (the first pic), 'Tobihaze' mudskippers (the 3rd pic), Fiddler Crab, and many wild birds, like their paradise!◎I emphasized Mutsugoro in the above, in fact, it's famous as a paradise of wild birds registered under the Ramsar Convention. You should check the tide table beforehand. The low tide is better to see the living creatures of tideland, and high tide is better to see the birds. To get there, you need basically cars, but only on weekends and holidays, Saga City Bus has 'World Heritage Tour Bus' from Saga Station.
Kagamiyama Observatory
1 Review8 min by car or taxi from Niji-no Matsubara Station Top of the Kagamiyama Mountaon, Karatsu-shi, Saga

The northern part of Saga Prefecture, Karatsu has 'Niji-no Matsubara' which is one of the three most scenic pinewoods in Japan. There's an observatory on the top of Kagamiyama Mountain, and the scenery of the city and Karatsu Bay is so beautiful that I feel my heart becomes clean. The pinewood like a green thick belt, blue ocean, and islands in the Bay... It's a refreshing and great view!
