Sightseeing

South area

Otachimisaki Park

Overlooking the azure sea and the islands of Amakusa, this leisure park is a great way to spend a day outdoors. It features a lawn ski area, a super slide, tennis courts, a beach for swimming, fishing spots, mini-golf, and a camping site. Additionally, there's a hot spring center renowned for its slightly salty waters. Along with a roadside station where you can purchase local specialties, it's a popular destination for families. In spring, about 1,300 Somei-yoshino cherry trees along the road leading to the park burst into full bloom! Approximately 150,000 Hirado and Kurume azaleas surround the park, decorating the area in shades of red, white, and pink.
