A hidden floral paradise in Omura City! In spring, this garden transforms into a breathtaking "flower carpet" with 30,000 azaleas and vibrant moss phlox blooming simultaneously. The contrast between the pink hills and the blue sky is simply stunning. It is a seasonal miracle that offers some of the most photogenic landscapes in Japan.

Experience the mystery of the Ariake Sea, where the scenery shifts dramatically with the tides. At high tide, the iconic vermillion gates appear to float gracefully on the waves. At low tide, the water recedes, allowing you to walk directly under them on the seabed.

3Yutoku Inari Shrine
Imagine a massive, brilliant crimson shrine perched high on a mountainside, supported by towering wooden beams—much like Kyoto's famous Kiyomizu-dera, but in a striking, vivid red. Known as the "Nikko of the West," its architecture is adorned with intricate gold carvings and vibrant colors that pop against the lush green forest.
