The Experience
Karato Fish Market Karato Market is famous not only as a market for fugu (pufferfish) but also for sea bream and yellowtail. Local fishermen directly sell their caught and farmed fish here, making it a unique wholesale market with a rare sales format nationwide. Visitors can purchase seasonal fish at reasonable prices. Additionally, the market hosts numerous events that are a feast for both the eyes and the palate. Many seafood stalls set up shop, offering freshly prepared fish dishes for visitors to enjoy.
Akiyoshidai Quasi-National Park Akiyoshidai was designated as a Quasi-National Park (Akiyoshidai Quasi-National Park) in 1955 and as a Special Natural Monument in 1964. It boasts Japan's largest karst plateau, covering a total area of 4,502 hectares, and features the Akiyoshido Cave, one of Japan's most impressive limestone caves located 100 meters underground. The natural formations showcased by the vast karst plateau and the expansive underground cave system truly embody Earth's mysteries. The cave's temperature remains constant at 17°C (62.6°F) throughout the year, making it particularly cool and comfortable during summer visits.
Tsunoshima-Bridge ・The stunning view of the cobalt blue and the Tsunoshima Ohashi Bridge is considered the most beautiful sight in the Kita-Nagato Quasi-National Park, attracting many tourists. At Amigase Park, which offers a panoramic view of this spectacular scenery, visitors can enjoy the pleasant sea breeze and breathtaking vistas. The park also features a monument of the Tsunoshima Ohashi Bridge, making it an ideal spot for commemorative photos.
