Overall quite fun, it offers several rollercoasters and some other fun Egyptian style games, enough to keep you entertained for the whole day, especially if you come with kids. We came on a weekend and there weren’t many people at all. We bought our tickets on klook and that included the smaller games such as shooting etc.

Fun rides and games for the kids. Went for the day after a few weeks of travelling Japan and kids needed a kids day. It’s a bit rough around the edges and showing its age. Theres a room you can go in with some fake polar bears and it’s at -5. As a Canadian it was pretty funny. There’s remnants of several rollercoasters that have been decommissioned but lots of others still going. It was eerily quiet. Very few people. O lineups and by none I mean we were the only people on many of the rides. Didn’t see a full ride once.

We booked our Greenland tickets through Agoda, but unfortunately they couldn't be scanned at the entrance-even after the staff Kitano-san kindly and patiently tried to help. In the end, we had to buy new tickets on the spot. For your information, we were the only tourists there that day lol. When the theme park was about to close and we were heading toward the exit, Kitano-san called out to us and informed us that our Agoda tickets had finally been successfully scanned. Because of that, the on-the-spot tickets we bought could be refunded. What touched us even more was that Kitano-san had actually finished his shift earlier that afternoon, but he told us he felt responsible and waited for us at the exit. A huge thank you to Mr. Kitano Katsuya for his kind hearted in helping us from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. We are very grateful to meet him! Please visit Greenland-best roller coasters! Arigatou gozaimasu! Ggreenland.sub @greenlandstaff

It was so much fun. There were a variety of toys to play with, delicious food spread throughout the area. Even though it was hot under the sun, there were plenty of desserts and cold drinks. Unfortunately, some of the play equipment were closed for maintenance. I hope to come back again soon.

If you have children, this is probably a nice amusement park, but for adults it was a bit of a downer. For me, the rides were either too boring or too daring. I do not recommend going on a hot day even if there are rides that take you everywhere around the park so you don't have to walk all the time.

You should start with the attractions of the car on the rail, you can control the speed in it and drive high enough to see the park and more or less plan the route. Car for 4 people. Amusement park, old. It can be seen that everything is old, a little dilapidated, but the rides are in good condition. I was here in the winter, at the end of January, there were very few people, there were no queues, we walked around the entire park and rode everything we could. Several main attractions were closed, like a dinosaur and a cool spinner))) they sell very large squids on a stick, in other places they are smaller, so I was pleasantly surprised! The card is issued at the entrance, but it's still better to google and read about the rides in advance.

First, We went to the pool and swim🏊🏻‍♀️🏊🏻 I really enjoyed the slide although my nose is little bit hurt when falling into the water. I did it 3x😂😛 After swimming we went on rides. The weather was so hot, it seems good to go in autumn so that not too hot anymore.🥵😰😨even if the weather was so hot we had a great time😊🥰08-19-23

Nice fruits and vegetables with fair price. There are different kinds of みかん🍊for guests to have a try

Good place to stop and walk around

(Translated by Google) Other roadside stations are often open before closing time, but this one is closed if you arrive before opening time, so make sure to go after it opens. There are many small snack shops lined up, making it a fun place to visit during long holidays. There's also an area selling Kumamoto souvenirs, and Oguri Chaya, which serves meals and snacks. I had a chestnut and vanilla mixed soft serve there. It was refreshingly sweet and delicious.

Menu improvement!! Change "Dago Soup" to "Jumbo Dago Soup" This will make the extra portion and serving size worth the 750 yen, making it a truly "Masimasi" (extra extra) menu! ♏ Mixing is a gamble!? It's effective for softening the strong flavor of the original ingredients (e.g., wasabi soft serve). However, if the ingredients are lightly seasoned, the vanilla (milk) ingredients can dilute the umami of both the ingredients and the soft serve, resulting in a mutually unsatisfactory outcome. In this case, the vanilla and chestnut flavors complement each other without compromising each other's individuality, creating a beautiful melody that I think is worthy of applause. *Since roadside station Kahoku Ogurigo is open 24 hours a day, please understand that meals, photography, etc. will be available during the trial run (preview) period on Wednesday, April 2nd.

We visited on the 8th of June, and the Iris flowers are in full bloom. It's an amazing sight and really a great place to take beautiful photos. The castle and shrine are fun to explore with interesting features

At least 5 days more to full bloom

Beautiful park, even in the heat of the summer. I wish I could have walked around a bit more but hunger drove me out. The pigeons and fish were also hungry...I felt guilty not having anything for them. 2023

Beautiful during cherry blossom season and perfect place for a walk and a picnic. They dont have a park for kids which is a bummer but plenty of room to run around. All can see the remains of omura castle

Quaint park with lovely views during cherry blossom season. It's a little small but kids would love it when you're in the area. There's a vendor selling bread to feed the ducks and the fishes.

I've just come here to enjoy the cherry blossom and voila cherry blossom - someyoshino & yokosakura - is everywhere now in spring time. A beautiful park with view of castle, sea, rice field and its primadona ~ SAKURA (cherry blossom). Omura park is also an ideal place to picnic under the sakura trees. Public toilets are clean. There're also food stalls selling okonomiyaki, sausage, etc. It's a lovely park. love it.

If you love watching Sakura, its a great place where you can enjoy beautiful sakura views with green farms and old stone walls. In the park, there are some vendors selling food.

Typical rural airport 35-40 mins to/from Nagasaki central area by bus Shops, cafes and restaurants available Good to use the ovservation deck with nice tarmac with sea view

Nice, clean, manageable. There are small SNA feast stores, convenient and cheap for an airport. Make sure you shop on the right side of the security control!

It's a small but clean and tidy airport. Outside of the city and far away but there are limousine bus which are convenient. The airport atmosphere is nice and easily manageable They also set a nice observatory view which is great to have fresh air and kids can play. They also provided toilets there Ships and restaurants available Security check is easy and quick

I took the airport limousine bus (1200¥) within minutes of my plane's arrival from Tokyo. I bought the ticket from the vending machine and joined the Q at platform no. 5. I managed to secure a window seat. Those passengers who boarded later had to sit on seemingly uncomfortable seats in the middle row or in the aisle. I gave the ticket to the driver when I alighted at my stop-Chuobashi. If I'd dutifully topped up my IC card, I'd use the card instead.

Such nice view from both side of airport, please go up observation desk on 3/f for a look. Airport itself equips good transportation and signage. You can find shops and restaurant mainly on 2/f.

The Airport built in 1975 and supported a Concord has become small decades later. If taking an expensive taxi is not an option when traveling downtown ie the Shinchimachi, the only convenient traveling to and from the Airport is to use its 20-minute interval limousine bus costing just Yen 900 each way (around 80 minutes). I bought a ticket upon departure on Nov 23, 2018 and when I returned on November 27, I paid cash when alighting!

Basic and dated airport with only bus options to Nagasaki city if using public transport. Ticketing machine for bus tickets would not accept new ¥1000 notes, luckily I had just enough coins to buy the ticket before the bus departed.

Here, visitors can tour the Sapporo Beer Hita factory and sample the beer being made. I recommend the limited-time-only beers available in the tasting room, which are very tasty and I encourage everyone to try them:) Make no mistake, drivers should not be inoculated with alcohol... Drink only at the hotel or back home ✌

The tour had limited english and there isn't actually that much to see. In saying that, it was still interesting, and includes a glass of beer. You also get to keep a souvenir glass to take home. If you are going past anyway, worth a visit.

nice brewery exhition tour but have to pay fee for tasting

Free self guided tour that is bi-lingual Japanese and English. Helpful staff. Fun to see beer factory in a very lovely city.

As per this google information (opening 10am~5pm) I arrived here around 4pm, and they said beer testing closed already. However last year I joined testing 4:30pm, Until what time is possible for testing? please let us know the exact time on this site. As you know, this is not easy way upto there even from abroad like me.

It's a nice place to enjoy a glass of Sapporo beer. I had a peaceful and pleasant time there.

fun. Sapporo factory. free tour. beer is 400yen. 2 floor

There’s parking a few steps away, entrance is free. The wisteria wasn’t in full bloom yet when we visited, but it was still a sight to behold. The flowers smell so good.

Just the right timing,it was in full bloomed.Its a beautiful place. Good for relaxing 😌

I dropped by before going hiking.

I went here on 15th May, i don't see westeria season anymore :( what a waste😭

Great place

I want to ask when is the best time to come in 2020? Early April?

Somehow the nature here reminded me of Mongolian nature. Breathtaking!

Great place to stop by if you're in the area and craving ice cream. One of the shops sells orange or milk or combo soft serve cones. It was delightful on a hot day. They also have local wagashi gift sets (i.e. 🍊 flavor mochi sweets) if you're looking to pick something up for your friends and family.

Nice place for a stop during your campervan trip. Local food, fruit and veggies. Plenty of parking.

Nice station with some foods, views, and restaurants. Unfortunately most of it seems closed on Sundays so our experience was limited.

(Translated by Google) They have a wide variety of locally grown vegetables, meat, fish, fruit, prepared foods, and even homemade bread. There was a space to eat, so I bought some sliced mangoes. They were sweet and delicious for 500 yen a pack. ✨ In the winter, I often buy mandarin oranges, oysters, and shellfish to take home. They have a wide variety of mandarin oranges. This is a roadside station you definitely want to visit. 😊 (Original) 地産の野菜　肉　魚　果物　惣菜 手作りのパンなど珍しい物も色々 あります。 食べれるスペースがあったので 今回はカットマンゴーを買って食べました。１パック500円で甘くて　とっても 美味しかったです✨ 冬になると蜜柑や牡蠣や貝等を買って 帰ります。 蜜柑の種類は豊富ですよ～ 必ず寄りたい道の駅です😊

(Translated by Google) I came here during low tide today. You can clearly see the Ariake Sea's tidal flats stretching into the distance, and it's easy to see why the entire area surrounding the Ariake Sea is reclaimed land. If it weren't for the scorching heat, I'd love to gaze out at it from the observation deck for a while. Local produce includes locally grown vegetables, fruits, and seafood. Tara's mandarin oranges are famous, but they're not the only fruit. In midsummer, figs and grapes are also delicious. I bought a fig today. It was full of sweet flesh and melted in my mouth. I highly recommend it. Speaking of seafood, I also bought some tsukudani (simmered food in soy sauce) made with nori seaweed from the Ariake Sea. This also goes well with hot rice. Although I skipped it this time, soft-serve ice cream lovers should definitely try the mandarin orange flavor. They also have vanilla, mandarin oranges, and a mix of mandarin oranges and vanilla, all priced at 350 yen. These days, prices of 400 or 500 yen are common, but this one is reasonably priced at 350 yen. Please try it before the price goes up.

The park is calm and peaceful. I saw a lot of locals jogging here in the morning. I have tried to enter this park at night for the river walk and night view. However, it sad tht i cant find the public car park. Therefore, i left and come back again on the next morning. Then, i find a public car park near the other side of entrance. I have submitted this car park to google map and hopefully they will approve it the soonest possible for others conveniences.

A really tiny park overlooking the River

Good place

(Translated by Google) This park comes out right away when you cross the bridge along the dam wall on the way to Kizan Park. The scenery was really pretty when I went at sunset. I met quite a few locals taking a walk. It's the perfect place to take a walk while gazing at the water. The signature kappa statue was also cute. But maybe because the weather is warmer or because it's by the water, there were so many flies!! There were a lot of them especially around the kappa statue, so I almost got eaten by a bug when I tried to take a certification shot. Kekekekeㅠ I think it will be really pretty when the cherry blossoms bloom. (Original) Kizan park로 가는 길에 댐 벽을 따라 난 다리를 건너가면 금방 나오는 공원입니다. 해질녘에 가서 풍경이 참 예뻤어요. 산책하는 현지분들 꽤 마주쳤습니다. 물멍하면서 걷기 딱 좋은 곳이에요. 시그니쳐 갓파 동상도 귀여웠습니다. 그런데 날씨가 따뜻해져서 그런지 물가라 그런지 날벌레가 너무 많아요!! 특히 갓파 동상 주변에 많아서 인증샷 찍으려다가 벌레 먹을 뻔 했습니닼ㅋㅋㅋ큐ㅠ 벚꽃피면 정말 예쁠 것 같아요.

(Translated by Google) Parks and riverside areas are great places to take a walk. Many people take walks in the morning. On the TV show Bura Tamori, they said that carp fishing is good around here. (Original) 公園や川沿いは散歩をするには良い所。朝は散歩をする方が多いですね。ブラタモリではこの辺りは鯉が良く釣れると言っていました。

(Translated by Google) Irresponsible people say things like "barbecue fireworks are OK," but that's a big lie. Although it's prohibited, it's just unfortunate people who take advantage of the fact that it's a secluded place. This is a calm park with great scenery and a place where older people can take a leisurely stroll, so I don't want strange people to come. It's also perfect for a picnic with the family. The restrooms are also clean. The only drawback is that there is no parking lot. It might be a good idea to park at Kameyama Park and walk. The road you walk up to is also nice.

Visited Apr 2025. Far from Hakata station, taking about 1 hr on the train and another 15 minutes on the bus, which comes only 1-2x an hour. Worth a visit if you're in the area, especially if in Saga already. Temple complex was smaller than expected from the photos, stairs are killer but views from the top are great. Ranking wise I would put it one tier down from others such as Todaiji, Horyuji, Engyoji in Himeji, Nikko etc. which I consider must visit places even with 1+ hour travel time

One of the coolest shrines i have visited in the whole of japan! I really loved all the wind chimes and how they danced and sang in the breeze, also the temple itself is amazingly detailed worth the trip in my opinion

We paid for the fox marriage night illuminations and was not disappointed. Entrance was about jpy1.5k. It came with fox masks (first come first serve). We entered the park at about 5.30pm and was able to cover the sights before the fox wedding procession starts at 6.30pm. Remember to visit the other garden on the way out.

Oh my Inari what a glorious place! The shrine was a big reason for me to come to this area and I have no regrets. The weather was horrible but maybe this way there weren't as many visitors and everything at a polished fresh and serene feeling. The hill behind the main shrine with all the little shrines was a high to climb.

A inari shrine noteworthy comparable to inari Fushimi in Kyoto. Spendid and magnificent minus the tourist crowd

This was a beautiful shrine to visit. The path going to the shrine is also pretty especially when there are cherry blossoms. The elevator has a 300 yen fee, but the stairs to the main shrine aren't that bad. You can also climb further up to reach the peak to get a good view of the area. I would say this was worth the 1h20m bus ride from Saga.

One of the best Shinto shrinea I've visited (during Sakura season even more so) There's nearby parking + various shops along the way. The shrine also include a climb up the mountain (resembles Fushimi Inari) with a nice view

The museum is great and is for free. You can view plenty of historical items and descriptions. There are other visuals, like videos and recording available. If you are interested in Japanese history, I can definitely recommend this visit.

I was really surprised at the size and variety of exhibitions in this museum. They have some interactive parts and photo spots. A very nice volunteer gave me a free tour in English so I learned a lot more than I could have by just reading. I really recommend it! Also if you have a JR Pass, show it at the counter to get a free souvenir!

It's sad that saga castle did not survive the passing of time, the years of neglect, and the numerous fire incidents that eventually brought it down. This museum however encapsulate a great deal of the history surrounding the castle and the region of Saga. A lot of valuable national treasures are enclosed here and valuable history on the first vaccination in Japan, innovations in railway, and the first most advanced school on western education in Japan. The heritage of the Naomasa clan lives on and I am in awe of the history of this place which largely goes unnoticed by most Japanese folks today. Also, a particularly interesting activity to partake in is the digital photography in fictional outfits of the Edo era, the outfits are selected randomly and I was lucky to get the Samurai outfit ^_^

Thanks for the senior tour guide!! We visited the museum 2 days ago. The gentleman guided us in English and gave the detailed history of Saga castle. We enjoy very much and know more about Saga city!!

The best museum I have been.

Visited in January 2020. Reconstruction of the main keep of Saga Castle built in 1838, during the last years of the Edo Period. It is one of the largest wooden reconstructions in Japan. There are historic exhibitions in the museum and it is open to public. Need to remove shoe in locker before entering. Main entrance is located near Naomasa Statue / NHK building

Free! Learn about how the guy reformed the budget and saved enough money to produce canons. Eventually leading to Japan's military dominance in Asia.

There are almost no reviews about the team labs part of this hotel. I’m here to change that. This destination was on my want to go ever since I went to TeamLabs PLANETS in Tokyo. We walked into the hotel and were blown away by the stunning art pieces. We enjoyed delicious complimentary welcome drinks under the lanterns. Then, we began to explore the art pieces in the ruined parts of the hotel. Many don’t understand that the ruined parts of the hotel are not under construction, they are remnants of an old onsen that was operational in the 60s and the 70s. It’s not under construction, it was internationally left to ruin. That’s why the teamlabs art pieces play with that, leaving an interesting vibe, new art pieces interacting with the old ruins. This made for an otherworldly, albeit beautiful vibe, reminiscent of a post apocalyptic kind of feeling. The onsen itself was spectacular. It was absolutely stunning, with fireplace rooms with snacks, multiple hot pools and cold plunge pools, and various steam rooms and saunas. You are missing out if you go. The architecture is Scandinavian inspired, with beautiful, big windows in an open garden. And finally, the teamlabs park itself: we went at night, and the details were stunning. I was transported to another world, where azalea bushes glowed like ocean waves, and where digital koi swam in a giant pond.

Mifuneyama Rakuen, a renowned 500,000-square-meter Japanese garden at the base of Mount Mifune in Takeo, Saga Prefecture, offers stunning seasonal vistas, including vibrant spring blooms and autumn foliage. However, the site’s appeal is tempered by evident maintenance shortcomings, such as unchecked overgrowth of creeping vines on mature trees and other unmanaged vegetation, which detract from its pristine aesthetic. Visitors are advised to plan accordingly, prioritizing peak seasons for optimal enjoyment.

Pleasant garden grounds, featuring a quaint bit murky pond, plus a grand mountain face overseeing proceedings within the garden below. Team Lab collaboration currently on, but only seems to be at night, and even the day time exhibition in the bathhouse ruins was closed. There’s a significant walk to a sacred tree on the east side, with the forest path being pretty narrow and somewhat insecure in places, all to end in not very much.

I had a great stay! Beware that if you book a room with a private hot spring, there is a chance you'll have to deal with bugs. Staff were really nice. Food was really good. The hot spring is amazing. Also, you can visit both the hot springs and teamlab for free if you're a hotel guest.

We have been there by night. Very beatiful walk through the iluminated garden.

This could be a 5 star attraction but, instead it is in dire need of maintenance and grounds keeping. Nature has a way of being amazing despite people's lack of attention. Plenty closed off areas, very little signage, electrical wires everywhere and a general appearance of untidiness. Considering they charge 600¥ per person and there were bus loads of people coming and going. They could at least do basic maintenance and clean up. It probably was a beautifully kept up park but sadly it has been let go to long. I hope they can clean it up before it is too late.

A beautiful garden full of seasonal flowers. We visited during cherry blossom season, but before full bloom. I felt it really came alive at night with the illuminations. There is also a teamLab exhibition tucked in the hillside that connects with a hotel there. The art is beautiful and worth seeing if you enjoy other similar exhibitions. At first I was shocked that the building seemed so dirty, but it's supposed to be a Ruins exhibition. Also, it's on the smaller side, but I felt the price reflected that. Probably easiest access by car, but there was free parking. I would love to come back and see the azaleas in full bloom, the photos look beautiful.

Strong recommend for those who love to read! This library combines with cafe, the design is new and it is open for public. I really love the children reading area which is located beside this library. The photo spot is good to have an overview of this library.

A key landmark at Takeo. Nice architecture with a main library and a kids library by the side. Night time is even better with lights on. 2nd floor and part of ground floor are library area. They do have cafe (Starbucks) and some books/magazines/souvenirs （Tsutaya) on the ground floor. There are only two spots in the library where you can take photos in order not to disturb others, so pls keep in mind.

Very beautiful library. I visited during spring but the building a bit warm and heated. Worth to stop a few hours on the route to Nagasaki from Fukuoka. There is another cute kid library next door. Can visit nearby shrine.

I’ve never had a library on my to do list on any free weekend but the Takeo library found it’s way on there last month. First off, what really allured me into going there was air conditioning. Yep, if you haven’t spent a summer in Kyushu then you haven’t felt real heat and humidity…seriously worse than the swamps of Florida or the stickiness of Singapore. The kind of heat you just know is disrespecting you on purpose. Anywho, I wanted to do an indoor activity and this was the perfect place to lounge around for hours and look at books I can’t read because they’re in Nihongo, but the pictures were dope. But the library also speaks the universal language of coffee so enjoy some Starbucks, skim through the magazines while your sweaty shirt dries.

In 2013, Takeo City entrusted the operation to Culture Convenience Club (CCC), which operates Japan's largest franchise bookstore, Tsutaya. CCC's operational know-how, introduced in Korea through a book titled "Tsutaya, the Place Where Tastes Are Designed," has permeated Takeo Library. CCC President and CEO Muneaki Masuda is famous for transforming a bookstore that sells books into a comprehensive lifestyle shop that offers books and music and suggests lifestyles. He achieved great success by instilling "sensibility," which is often mentioned among the younger generation, into a bookstore. Like Tsutaya Bookstore, CCC increased the number of open bookshelves in Takeo Library and introduced a bookstore, cafe, etc. The operating hours have been extended from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., and the library is open 365 days a year so that people can use it at any time.

Shouldn’t say it is a library or book shop, it should be treat as an art space of books. Photo are only allowed in designated area to preserve quite environment for library user. Book shops and Starbucks are mix with the library itself. Fun experience.

Saw this library in the list of most beautiful libraries in the world. I haven’t really been to any and this is the first one. Indeed it was beautiful. I don’t know though if it’s worth it to travel all the way just to see the library and eat/drink Starbucks. Ahaha. But what I did was also go to Takeo Onsen. That way, travelling to Takeo itself becomes a proper trip.

Phenomenal. So many staff around to guide people. The park is unbelievably clean and well kept. The structures are really authentically recreated and you can enter most of them. They have some museums and other things to do inside the park as well. One of the coolest things I’ve come across in Kyushu.

Yoshinogari Historical Park, Kanzaki-gun, Saga-ken Have you ever wondered about the fascinating history of Yayoi & Jomon? The yoshinogari archaeological site of excavation, preservation & ruins holds some unspoken secrets waiting to be discovered. Let’s dive into the past and uncover the mysteries that have been hidden for centuries! You can learn about the history of this place by visiting it. It’s a fascinating place indeed. Opening hours: 9:00 Am to 17:00 Entrance Fee: Ranges from 460¥ There are museum programs where you can learn to make fire and crafting accessories and knives. Magama bead making-250¥ You can check their website for more information and programs. Website: yoshinogari.jp/en/

The park is way bigger than one would expect (maybe) and if you love history, certainly make your way out here. They even have workshops and I loved the one I joined because I love stones. Seeing the Yayoi life in the past was a good experience. You can walk around the park to check out the old houses and the ancient burial. There is a roving bus. There’s a big part of the park that’s good for kids (or so the guide at the community center told me because I didn’t explore that part). Worth visiting!

Relaxing day out from Fukuoka. There’s not a lot of detailed information in English, but the site is very interesting, don’t miss the burial mound. Beautiful views as well.

It's an extremely large area. The train is about the same distance from Yoshinogari Koen Station or Kanzaki Station. I want to be prepared to walk steadily. It feels good when the weather is nice. You can learn about jar coffins. The experience center is also fun.

Plentiful of open spaces and historical artifacts built to scale. A fun place for the family amidst nature. The park is huge. For a start, take the free shuttle bus to go round the park. Then select places of specific interest to you. Bring along food for a small picnic (there are also provisions for BBQ on site) as the restaurant maybe fully booked up. Enjoy!

Very cool experience for a visit to the museum or to just have a picnic in the park. The grounds are beautiful and they have daily activities that you can do for an additional fee. Also, they have multiple paid parking lots around the place. It’s huge so plan to do a lot of walking.

The Tachiarai Peace Memorial Museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in World War II history. Located on the former site of Tachiarai Airfield—once the largest military airfield in East Asia—the museum offers a powerful and sobering look into Japan’s wartime aviation legacy. The airfield played a crucial role in training Japanese Army pilots and later became a major dispatch point for kamikaze missions during the final stages of the war. It was heavily bombed and largely destroyed by U.S. B-29 bombers in March 1945. The museum features a range of excellent exhibits, including two standout aircraft: Nakajima Ki-27 "Type 97" Fighter – the only surviving example in the world, recovered from Hakata Bay and restored in 1996. This model was used in kamikaze missions. Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero (Model 32) – the only surviving example of this iconic fighter, a symbol of Japanese air power during the war. One of the more striking displays is a silhouette of a B-29 bomber suspended from the ceiling. Seeing it overhead gives a real sense of the aircraft’s massive scale—both impressive and deeply sobering. While the exhibits have minimal English translations, using Google Translate helps capture the essence of the displays. Despite the language barrier, the museum’s historical significance and powerful presentation make it highly recommended for visitors seeking a deeper understanding of Japan’s WWII experience.

Tachiarai Peace Memorial Museum is one of three facilities on Kyushu ( including Chiran and Bansei in Kagoshima) dedicated to the memory of the Japan Imperial Army Special Attack Force aka "Kamikaze" suicide pilots. Tachiarai was the former location of the Imperial Army's pilot academy that by 1944 became a center for the rapid training and dispatch of suicide pilots. The museum is notable for its display of a Type Zero fighter aircraft and a Type K27, which was restored after being recovered from the bottom of Hakata Bay, in the main exhibit hall. The remainder of the exhibits are mostly portrait photos of the special attack pilots, their final letters to family, and artifacts. The museum would be more properly called a "war memorial" rather than peace memorial, as there is no context presented regarding the sacrifice of the pilots, soldiers and civilians that were killed in the final months of the war. The museum theater tells the unfortunate story of the local village, which greatly prospered when the army aviation academy was established. As the war progressed and turned against Japan, the academy became a training center for suicide pilots and that caused the base to become a target for a massive B-29 bombing raid at the end of March 1945. The raid damaged the airbase, but also devastated the village including the death of many civilians, including children. There is no context presented as to why despite being an obvious target, the town was not evacuated and there is no context presented on the situation in Japan which allowed senior commanders to send boys to their death on one way suicide missions. The exhibition shows that the average age of the pilots was about 23, with many 18-22 years old. They knew nothing but war almost their entire lives. Most of the boys were quickly trained to reach a minimal skill level, then waited for their special orders. Almost all the missions failed. The few that were successful caused terrible, but inconsequential damage on the US Navy. The museum presents the results in the light of success, which is not historically accurate. It would be much more interesting if all of the Kyushu peace museums included context including the responsibility of the leaders whose failures resulted in the tragic deaths of the pilots and civilians. After looking at so many striking portrait photographs of the pilots (they had photographs taken in pilot gear or had portraits created post mortem) the question remains were the 3,898 suicide pilots heroes or victims? My view is they are both, and were needlessly wasted in the prime of the their youth by the senior commanders. They are tragic heroic victims. But one consolation, is the pilots get their photos and biography recorded and presented in a beautiful museum, while the many other millions of victims of WWII do not get that privilege. A visit to the Tachiarai Peace Memorial Museum shows the dark side of war. It's well worth a visit, even without the context and the restored Type Zero fighter is a gem. Access is by car or the super cute Amagi Railroad. A short walk from the tiny station.

It’s worthwhile visiting if you’re in the area. I applaud the efforts of these people who are trying to promote peace. There were no English captions on the exhibits.

Great to know parts of WW2 Pacific war zone

Being able to see a Zero up close and personal was amazing. Reading about and watching on TV doesn't do justice to this technological marvel. Once you're up close you can really see the level of mastery by engineers, craftsmen, and pilots who employed it. The cockpit has literally no armor. Thin aluminum skin between pilot and sky. Just amazing!

A great and peaceful museum to visit! I was surprised at the sight of a J7W Shinden model! Its portrayal of a B29 and a Japanese interceptor was very creative too!

This is a war museum not a peace museum. It is great if you are a fan of the engineering and design marvel that is THE Zero fighter jet. It is also great if you want to see Japan’s stance towards the war. It was presented that their airforce was defending their homeland, when anyone who read history knows they were the one who started it. It’s also priceless to see the sad sacrifice of 18-22 years old pilots who were known as the ‘Kamikaze’, and the museum glorified their sacrifices. However it is biased, very biased, and the bias is interesting to see. Also, please prepare Google translation because there is almost no English caption provided for obvious reasons.

Parking: Great parking area if you're driving. There were plenty of parking and the outdoor mall is connected by a bridge. Food: Not bad. Way better than the ones in the USA. Shopping: If you've been to the outlets in the USA, there's no comparison. There weren't many options and the prices are not cheap. Not cheap at all. This is supposed to be an outlet, not a regular shopping mall. I think if you're living in Asia, you'll probably like this place. However, if you're living in the USA, skip this place. It's going to be a waste of time for you.

If you’re looking for a big outlet with lots of branded shops, this is the one for you! It’s quite a bit of a travel, but definitely worth it. For me, it’s even better than Ships and Lalaport. The only downside (besides the distance) is the long line for food, so it’s best to bring something to eat or have a snack beforehand. Overall, a great place to shop and spend the day! 🛍️

The usual stores you will find at other Premium Outlets. It’s not as big as the one at Gotemba but still worth a visit. Show your passport and you will get a tax exception on your bill. I was told that next year (2026) you can only get your tax refund at the airport like in most countries. We spend a few hours here and found some nice bargains. I had some of the best burgers ever at the food court.

The place is nice as a venue, but the outlet prices often didn't differ much (if at all) from regular retail. Didn't buy anything except some Nike shoes – both Nike and Adidas likely will have the more compelling sale prices for shoes. Spent less than an hour here and ended up leaving since there wasn't much for us – definitely can't compare to outlet shopping in Europe. The free parking is a plus though.

Good place to shop. Not too crowded and good selwction of brands. Tosu also offered very nice countryside scenery.

An absolute shopping paradise. So many great brands at massive discounts—especially during the Golden Week promo! Most shops had 20% off for 3 items or more, and I could also claim a 10% tourist tax rebate. On top of that, many items were already marked down 40–60% off original prices, so the discounts stacked up really well. Scored quality stuff from Onitsuka Tiger, EDWIN, Calvin Klein, GAP, Tommy Hilfiger, and more. Great mix of style and value—definitely worth a trip!

We came on 12 April 2025. As it was a Saturday, there were many people at the Outlets. You can download digital coupons at the entrance via the QR code.

(Translated by Google) If you walk about 100 meters from the temporary parking lot, there is also a shuttle bus. There is also a promenade to walk up to the waterfall (about 500m walk. There is water seeping out from the mountain, so the path can be rough at times). Many hydrangeas greet you on the way to the waterfall. (Original) 臨時駐車場から歩いて100mちょっと行くとシャトルバスも出てるところがあります。 歩いて滝まで登る遊歩道もあります(500mほど歩く。山から滲み出てる水もあり道悪い時もある)。 滝までの道中たくさんの紫陽花が迎えてくます

(Translated by Google) The hydrangeas blooming near the waterfall are wonderful. (Original) 滝の近くに咲いている紫陽花が素晴らしいです。

This park is a quiet with a wealth of nature and easy to visit, not so far from central Karatsu city. There are sidewalks, shrines, observatories, some little historical sites and toilets throughout this large park so I could enjoy walking around comfortably. If it’s sunny, I’d recommend.

Google Map took us the back road, had to drive very carefully. Once made it up. It was time well spent.

We rushed to catch the sunset. There were not so many people late on a week day evening. The place is surrounded by a beautiful park. The view is excellent and a great spot to capture the sunset.

Good scenery. If you love trains, you can watch the JR train running from here!

It's a great place to experience sunset! You have both mountains and sea in your view. You can see the Kartsu Castle from here. There are gift shop, pottery shop and a Udon shop here. You have to park your car a bit far from the main observatory. It's a 5 minute walk. You will enjoy and remember the view of the nature from here, for the rest of your life. Going here, @ sunset time is highly recommended.

Gorgeous scenery and a friendly, kind uncle who works there guided me on how to walk to the viewing platform. If I get a chance to visit Japan again, I will definitely go to Kagamiyama and meet him again.

It's difficult to get without transportation. But we managed to walk along the road like 10 km total to get up and down. It worth it. Need to be aware of the time, have to get down before sunset if you're walking cause it will become very dark.

(Translated by Google) It was my first time going there, and I could see the whole thing from the parking lot in front, and it was a beautiful building.

Please come to Takashima to eat! (Original) この橋がなかったら、船で渡らなきゃならない不便な島だったんでしょうね…。 当時の村長さん？町長さん？の顕彰碑が道の駅にありました。 気軽にこちらの海の幸を食べに来られるのに感謝…🙏💕 ホントに美味しい海の幸いっぱいの島！ 鷹島に食べにいらして下さい！

(Translated by Google) The sunrise seen from the Takashima and Hoshiga sides is beautiful. Photos are taken from the embankment and the sea. There is a sidewalk on the bridge that you can walk across. There are parking lots on both the Hizencho side and the Takashima side before crossing the bridge. There is a roadside station on the Takashima side. (Original) 鷹島や星賀側から見た日の出がきれいです。 写真は堤防や海上から撮影しています。 橋には歩道があり歩いて渡れます。 橋を渡る前の肥前町側も鷹島側にも駐車場があります。 鷹島側には道の駅があります。

We arrived around 9 AM on a Thursday, and the crowd was quite light—not many people, so it was easy to take photos with just a short wait. The flowers were in beautiful bloom, and there was a gentle floral scent in the air, which I found really pleasant—something like jasmine or Calendula officinalis. When we arrived by car, there were staff members helping with parking directions. There are restrooms available—fairly clean. The women’s restroom had four stalls, while the men’s had three, though one of them seemed to be temporarily out of order. The walking path is marked as one-way, but there didn’t seem to be any strict enforcement. We saw a couple in wedding attire—hopefully they got some lovely photos. There were also a few small items available for sale near the entrance, but not many.

We arrived at around 3 pm and was told we need to reserve a slot but I was having issues signing up online so the lady allowed me to pay with credit card. The flowers were already in bloom and it was a beautiful sight but there were too many people to be able to take a nice shot. Overall experience was great. And worth the travel. Very pleased with what I have seen and experienced.

It’s a nice place to visit if you are around kokura. Please buy tickets online and show the QR code to the staff at entrance. The flower tunnels are enchanting, and there are many benches for people to sit and appreciate the ambience. You may find different types of flora collection along the way too. This place is well managed with many staff to direct the traffic and parking. Parking is free. There are also some mobile toilet stands outside near the car park area.

We almost skipped this park because the ticket-buying process is a real headache: confusing website (at least during golden week there is no other way to get a ticket, not even on side) and there were even different prices depending on how “pretty” it currently is (felt a bit like a scam). Once inside, though, it was well worth it. Even during Golden Week it never felt overcrowded and everything was beautifully arranged which made this a worthy stop on our trip. If they could simplify the admission steps and ditch the beauty-based pricing, this would be a top-tier destination. As it stands, the flower park is fantastic, but the experience starts on a sour note.

If you don’t have car you need to get a taxi from yahata station even from mt sarakura too . Return around 3000 yen x2 . Now it’s 80% blooming, very pretty well look after wisteria flowers garden. * easier get tickets from 7-11 or Lawson for 500yen but when you go to the garden you will need to pay 1000-1500yen depending on the day of the flowers conditions.

Already almost full-bloom in late April 2025 (24th). Not too crowded on weekday. Beautiful wisteria tunnel, spherical cave filled with wisteria. Beautiful and nice place to go for sight-seeing. Have 3 tones of colors; white, pink and purple wisteria Recommended for flower lovers and photogenic persons.

A Hidden Gem Worth Visiting This stunning and affordable destination is open to the public twice a year, drawing a large number of visitors. Due to its limited opening periods, it's crucial to purchase tickets online in advance to secure your entry. While there are no restrooms within the premises, visitors can access clean and well-maintained facilities at the entrance. The venue's size is smaller than anticipated, allowing for a quick and enjoyable exploration.

Quite a small castle but fun to visit. Especially for kids. Some interaction games are good for learning which won’t make you bored. Excellent view of the Kokura city from the top floor. Well maintained and arranged inside out.

Kokura Castle is a genuinely lovely stop in Kitakyushu, offering a great mix of historical charm and engaging modern exhibits. While the current main keep is a 1959 reconstruction (the original burned down), the builders did a beautiful job. The castle exterior, surrounded by the moat and the peaceful Katsuyama Park grounds, is very photogenic—especially during cherry blossom season! Inside the castle, you'll find a well-designed, interactive museum. Unlike some older castles, the displays here are fun, with hands-on elements that bring the Edo period and the castle's history (including its famous residents like Miyamoto Musashi) to life. It’s definitely engaging for both adults and kids. The view from the top floor provides a nice panorama of the city, showing the blend of history right next to the modern Riverwalk Kitakyushu complex. Pro-Tip: Make sure to grab the combo ticket that includes the main keep and the adjacent Kokura Castle Garden for a great value and a peaceful break. Overall, it's a very pleasant, worthwhile, and affordable way to spend a few hours in the city.

So beautiful and the story of the castle and shogunate. I really like the place and the history. Everything is near. And there is a festival too. First time we visited here. Kokura Castle is also known as Cherry blossom castle🌸🏯

A small but charming castle with a huge parking lot just across the street. You can take the paid elevator up to the castle. There aren’t many interactive activities, but the view from the top floor is lovely and relaxing. The souvenir selection isn’t particularly exciting, yet the overall visit feels easy and pleasant — a nice, laid-back castle experience.

A historic castle. It's very beautiful and you can go inside. It has been burned down and rebuilt many times. It has the history of Japan written inside. It was very moving! You should definitely go!🏯

A nice town worth visiting, once you arrive at the Kokura station, use the south exit and walk along the way by using your google maps, nice walk no worries. A lovely garden nearby. Just buy the ticket upfront.

Rebuild after war , beautifully combined the new and old part of the buildings,and inject many vibrant elements into this historic site. Interactive devices applied to attract young people to getting to know the history of the city and its surrounding.

One of the best natural history museums I've visited. As you enter you're met with a big collection of stag beetles. The dinosaur skeletons and mammoth skeletons were amazing . There was an awesome exhibit of nautilus fossils, a good collection of minerals and crystals - I'm a huge fan. A very well curated artefacts on the history of Japan, with lots of information on the different samurai clans. Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 hrs visit.

This has been the most mindblowing museum we have ever been to. The amount of information and the interactive exhibitions are truly exceptional! If you are ever in Fukuoka this is just one stop in the bullet train back in the direction of hiroshima. So you can be there in about 20 minutes. The dinosaurs are in the main hall and there are so many and so big that it's almost impossible to fit them in a proper photo. The only thing we regret was not going earlier as we didn't have time to buy anything in the gift shop because it was closing already. There were lots of things that were worth buying.

The Kitakyushu Museum of Natural History & Human History is a great museum that covers both ecology and history of Kitakyushu. The museum has a large area talking about how the earth was formed and how creatures evolved until now. For this part, they are doing well like other museums. After this section, then they focus more on both ecology and history of Kitakyushu. Overall, it is a very good museum and you will properly spend 1-2 hours there. During my last visit, the building was renovating outside but they have provided arrow signs to guide visitors to the entrance.

Wonderful museum... A must visit..

The museum is a sprawling (6,100 sqm) place, the largest nature museum on Western Japan. It has an impressive display of dinosaur skeletons that are conveniently and strategically positioned at the ground level of the museum. Themed "Journey in Life" the museum has a time travelling room and a natural history zone that has 4,500 exhibits including the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras

Great experience of visit, especially if you are really into Geography and history I’m sure you will gain a lot of knowledge. Not only serves merely information about the past, prehistoric period, it has the live attraction movie-like except it has the robot that similar the real dinosaurs about how dinosaurs live in the past, although the explanation given in japanese i was astonished by how they managed to make the visitors get the insights.

It is a museum that displays not only skeletal specimens, but also stuffed specimens, models, and dioramas in a variety of ways. The museum is very large, and it would take about two hours just to tour it in a normal way. The explanations are simple but to the point, and the tour is well-paced. In the latter half of the museum, there is an introduction to old Japanese culture, which is very interesting. There are many exhibits that can be touched as well as seen, so children can have fun.

8th wonder of the world this observation deck on Tsushima island. The beauty to behold here is jaw dropping and truly epic.

Road is closed to cars due to maintenance. Warnings posted for pedestrians—unclear if you can reach the top on foot.

Best view in Tsushima.

A must go when visiting Tsushima after parking (for free) you can walk up to the observatory with an amazing view of the island.

Love the place but the stairs aren't for the weak. You've been warned.

Absolutely stunning. Visit the shrine before or after. This was breathtaking!

A place to overlook the bay with great view. Need another 5min hike from the parking lot.

A serene place worthy of a visit on the way to Eboshidake Observatory.

great view on the sea

(Translated by Google) This shrine on Tsushima Island seems to have a long history. We visited at low tide, so the torii gate offshore was connected to the mainland. Behind the main hall is the tomb of Toyotamahime, and the atmosphere was so outstanding that it could be called a power spot. (Original) 対馬にある由緒ありそうな神社。ちようど訪れたタイミングが干潮だったので、沖の鳥居は陸続きになっていました。 本殿の奥には豊玉姫の墓陵があり、これぞパワースポットと言えるほど、雰囲気は抜群でした。

Amazing shrine of tushima ghost of tushima vibes

(Translated by Google) We visited at high tide and low tide. Two of the five torii gates lined up in a straight line stand in the sea, but at low tide they become connected to the mainland. Conversely, at high tide during spring tides, the pond overflows and the tide reaches the parking space. At high tide we couldn't see what was inside the three-pillar torii gate in the pond, but at low tide we could see a scaly rock called Isora Ebisu. Both the three-pillar torii gate and Isora Ebisu are said to be associated with ancient Judaism. Korean nationals are prohibited from worshiping here. (Original) 満潮時と干潮時に訪問。一直線に並んだ5つの鳥居のうち２つは海に立っていて干潮時は陸続きとなります。逆に大潮の満潮時は池が溢れて駐車スペースまで潮が上がってくるそうです。 池の中にある三柱鳥居は満潮時は何があるのか分かりませんでしたが、干潮時は磯良恵比寿(イソラエビス)という鱗状の岩が見えます。三柱鳥居もイソラエビスも古代ユダヤと関連があるとか。 なお、ここは韓国人は参拝禁止となっています。

(Translated by Google) I came here because I heard that this shrine does not allow foreigners, but that did not seem to be the case. I personally agree with this because I think that people with bad manners should be banned from anywhere. However, even though it was a peaceful weekday, there was a mini patrol car and two police officers standing next to the shrine. I wonder what that was all about... The shrine itself was very solemn and magnificent. I put in some offerings and prayed for the safety of my family. The torii gate that leads to the sea is picturesque. (Original) 外国人お断りの神社と聞いてやってきましたがそんな雰囲気は無かったです。マナー悪い人はどこでも出禁で良いと思うので個人的には賛成です。ただし、平日の平和な時間なのに神社の横にミニパト+警官が２名立ってました。どういうことなんだろ。。神社自体は非常に厳かで素晴らしかったです。お賽銭いれて家内安全をお願いしました。海に繋がる鳥居は絵になりますね

(Translated by Google) I visited during the Obon period to pay my respects. I noticed a police car waiting on a nearby road and wondered what was going on, but I'll explain that later... By chance, there were few other tourists, so I was able to visit without any problems. It's a simple shrine, with explanatory signs scattered throughout. As I was strolling around the grounds, I heard angry shouts coming from in front of the shrine office. A group of Korean people were being yelled at by the priest (?). It seemed they'd mistakenly entered the entrance to Toyotamahime no Mikoto's tomb, and he was telling them, "If you've taken even one step, put your money in! Put your money in quickly!" Judging from the behavior of the group of tourists, it seemed they really didn't understand, as the instructions were only in Japanese. "Only those who understand the instructions come here! If you don't understand, don't come," they were repeatedly told. I don't think even Japanese people would recognize it at a glance. There's only a box resembling a fortune-telling slip placed next to the shrine office. Afterwards, they continued to wander around the grounds, constantly keeping an eye out for anything of interest. Seeing this, I understood why police are stationed nearby. I'd like to express my sincere thanks to the police for taking turns patrolling the area... But I'm sure the priests have also been troubled by the bad manners of tourists, which is probably why they're so annoyed. However, I'm worried that this may leave a bad impression on Japanese people. It would be great if we could all come to some kind of solution, such as not treating first-time visitors rudely, clearly indicating the way forward, hiring guide staff to be on-site, or posting large notices in foreign languages. It's difficult, isn't it? (Original) お盆の時期に参拝で伺いました。 近くの道路にパトカーが待機していて何事かと思いましたが、それはのちほど...。 たまたま他の観光客が少なく、難なく参拝できました。神社としてはシンプルな作りで、ところどころに説明書きがあります。 敷地内を散策していると、社務所前から怒号が。韓国人グループが神主さん(？)に怒鳴られていました。豊玉姫命之御陵の入り口に誤って進んでしまったみたいで、「一歩でも進んだならお金をいれてゆけ！早くお金をいれろ！」と言われておりました。観光客グループの様子からすると、おそらく日本語の説明しかないので本当にわからなかったご様子。「説明がわかるやつがここにくるんだ！わからないなら来るな」と散々言われておりました。日本人でもぱっと見わかる人は少ないと思います。だって社務所の横におみくじのような箱が置いてあるだけですもの。 その後も敷地内をうろうろと気になることがないか常に見張っておられました。 この様子を見て、警察の方が近くに常駐している理由がわかりました。警察の方、交代交代で本当におつかれさまです。。。 でもきっと神主さんも観光客のマナーの悪さに悩まれてきたのでしょう。だからこそ気が立ってしまっているのだと思います。 しかし、逆に日本人への心象が悪くならないかも心配です。一見さんを邪険にせず、導線を明確に示したり、ガイドのスタッフを雇って常駐させたり、外国語の注意事項を大きく掲示しておくなど、なにかお互いいい手立てがあるといいのですが。 難しいですね。

A place where you can see a Tsushima leopard cat if you are lucky. We had the opportunity to see one, but it was sleeping. The exhibition is through glass and you should not use flash on your camera as it will disturb the cats. There is a lot of information about the leopard card, mainly in Japanese but you can use google translate. This center has a very important cause and saves leopard cats. There is also other information about local wildlife. Staff very kindly, as we arrived at 10 minutes before closing and they still let us go. Please pay attention to the closing time- 16:00. Entrance was free.

Very nice and peaceful area.In here you can know the everything about tshumima cat.

I love the work that these amazing people do here. They put in their heart and soul to protect the Tsushima Leopard cat. It's a small but very informative centre and there's a leopard cat you can see. They have lots of information on display about the local wildlife and protection. It's very child friendly too. They way they show the cats just shows you how much love goes into their work and I truly think that is beautiful.

Nice presentation of the importance if wild life conservation. They really try to cater foreign people with a few translations.

(Translated by Google) You can learn about Tsushima wildcats and other creatures that live on Tsushima. It's also great that it's free to enter. You can also hear the birds sing one by one, which is a nice touch. The brown-eared bulbuls are always annoying, though lol. Tsushima wildcats are kept here, but today they were in a shed. (Original) ツシマヤマネコの勉強、また対馬に住んでる生き物が学習できます。無料で入れるのもありがたいです。鳥の鳴き声を１つ１つ聞けたりと嬉しい演出も。ヒヨドリは毎度ながらウザい声ですがw　ツシマヤマネコが飼育されていますが今日は小屋の中でした。

(Translated by Google) [Nagasaki Prefecture - Tsushima - Tsushima Wildlife Conservation Center! Tsushima Wildcat Conservation] I last visited the Tsushima Wildlife Conservation Center 12 years ago. It protects Tsushima wildcats and allows visitors to see them in their natural habitat. Inside, there are exhibits providing detailed information about the species. The facility also conducts research and surveys. It's adjacent to Saozaki Park, so it's a good idea to visit both parks. *Photo taken with Nikon's flagship mirrorless camera, the Z9. The lens used was a 24-200mm f/4-6.3 lens.

(Translated by Google) I went to see the Tsushima wildcat. There was only one cat in a small space, and I was able to see it walking around. It was a very cute cat. It's a must-see if you come to Tsushima. (Original) ツシマヤマネコを見に行きました。1匹だけ狭い場所にいて、歩き回る姿などを見ることができました。とても可愛い猫でした。対馬に来たら必見ですね。

Great view, very peaceful and serene, and on a clear day you can see south Korea in the distance

Nice location with a building with interesting architecture with parking for cars and busses. Comparing to the photos previously posted on here, they have restructured the entrance. There are some picnic tables and an ice cream vending machine. There is also a bathroom and free wi-fi.

Really impressed when I play instead samurai in Tsushima bcz all that beautiful view of this island. The map of ghost of Tsushima is really lookalike that beautiful island. I wish I can visit that incredible island oneday inshaallah

Worth a visit, it is interesting to see the faint outline of another country from Japanese shores.

You can see Busan of Korean peninsula under nice weather. It may be nice to see from here but to understand why and how Chosen Tsushinshi, Korean Emissary, passed Korea strait is more interesting.

Very Good

Busan in Korea can be seen on a clear day
