A park in Taku City. You can enjoy the beauty of nature in every season: cherry blossoms in spring, azaleas in early summer, autumn leaves in autumn, and plum blossoms in winter.

The surrounding area is a gently sloping small mountain, and in the spring, rape blossoms bloom all over the area, creating a spectacular harmony with the cherry blossom colors.

You can stay in an old Japanese house.

The path with exposed tree trunks is somewhat scary. On the other hand, the sunlight filtering through the trees is beautiful during sunny days.

The view from the observatory overlooking Karatsu Bay and Nijinomatsubara is breathtaking. Cherry blossoms and azaleas can also be enjoyed in spring.
