Nobody there. I am alone. Great view

From Kagamiyama you get an overwhelming view over Karatsu bay with the 8km long pine forest. Many historical information is written in English. There is a shrine, some shops, a Cafe, a little pond, an azalea garden - and even a tourist information near at the parking lot. This place deserves your visit!

Great view spot

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.

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.

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.

Great place to enjoy fresh air in pine forest and the sunset. There is a story about the mountain. In the time of Emperor Senka in 6th century Princess Sayo had affair with the warlord Sadehiko. At the time of leaving of Sadehiko to Korean peninsula, Sayo climbed up to the top of Kagamiyama mountain and waved her shawl until the ship was at the sights. So romantic! ha!

I loved the view from here. You can see Karatsu Castle and the whole stretch of pine trees in Niji No Matsubara. If you go in Spring, you'll also be treated to a beautiful spot for hanami.

Outstanding panoramic view of Karatsu, niji no matsubara. highly recommend to spend some there. Just 45 mins to our Cafe and Lodge at Okawachiyama, village of the secret kilns insta: @basecampimari

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

This lookout is easily accessible by car. There were many photographers taking up the space, they were there to take pictures of migratory birds. The view is stunning and worth the visit if you are in Karatsu city.

Great view. It is the best place to observe the Karatsu city and oceans. There is a large parking lot located in entrance, and all facilities in here are clean.
