Nishinohama is a vast, beautiful coast where the calm, beautiful white sand beach of the Genkai Sea and the blue ocean comfortably harmonize, spreading near the base of Karatsu Castle. From the coastline, you can gaze at mysterious islands floating in the distance, and the time spent slowly walking along the sand beach while feeling the refreshing sea breeze gently clears away daily busy schedules and travel fatigue. At dusk, the sky and ocean are dyed in a beautiful orange color, and simply standing quietly while listening to the murmur of waves brings deep peace and tranquility to the heart. Away from urban hustle, it is a supreme relaxation spot to take a deep breath wrapped in great nature's gentle embrace.
