The lighthouse that reminds people of the sentimental atmosphere of Hayao Miyazaki's works...👒 As you walk from the lighthouse to the Kabe Island observatory, the scenery of Howl's Moving Castle comes to mind. 🌿 Karatsu is famous for its fresh squid. After visiting the lighthouse, I recommend going to the Chinese restaurant "Kabeshima" (📍0955-82-5187), where you can enjoy a sea view while eating! ♥️ ✈️ "Hizen Tateshina-zaki Lighthouse" in Japan 📍 Kabeshima Island, Kako-cho, Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture 847-0305 This is my recommendation for a must-visit tourist attraction in Japan - Kabeshima Lighthouse!

📌 🇯🇵 Japan / Saga . I was impressed to see many hot air balloons flying in the sky. Saga Balloon Fiesta 2022🎈 Arrived at the site after 4:00. Waited on the riverbed before sunrise for the 7:00 flight🍃 Fighting the cold and sleepiness, it was an exciting time🥶🥱🥳 The balloons gradually inflated while illuminated by the morning glow🎈🎈🎈 And then they flew into the sky🎈☀️ I was so moved🥺🎈✨✨ It would be a miracle if they flew because there was a possibility that they would not be able to see them due to the wind until just before✨✨ . #japan #saga #Japan #Saga #SagaBalloonFiesta #BalloonFiesta #tripDomesticTravel

#japantrip My trip to Saga was elevated by a culinary experience at Kira Honten, where I indulged in premium Saga beef. The restaurant's unique tableside grill allowed me to cook tender cuts to perfection. The high-quality meat was incredibly juicy, with rich flavors that delighted my senses. I opted for the large set, which included Saga rice, fresh vegetables, and a range of accompaniments. The beef's beautiful marbling required only seconds of grilling, melting in my mouth with each bite. With specialized sauces and a lively atmosphere, Kira Honten is a must-visit for meat connoisseurs. Be sure to arrive early, as this gem is popular among locals and visitors alike.

⭐️Hot air balloon festival held in Saga Prefecture, Fukuoka!⭐️ I couldn't believe this was Japanㅠㅠ It starts early in the morning, so you have to leave early! It was suspended due to Corona, but it was held again last year. If you want to have a special experience different from others in Fukuoka, I highly recommend the hot air balloon festival!! There were also a lot of food stalls nearby, such as takoyaki and yakisoba. (By the way, the Saga beef I ate in Saga melted in my mouth....) 🎠Hot air balloon festival location: Ogino, Kasemachi, Saga City, Saga Prefecture, Japan 〒840-0864 #JapanTravel#Fukuoka #Saga #PhotoSpot #discoveryourownjapan
