Cape Hedo
Hado Misaki is a small cape located in Chinzei Town, Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture, at the tip of the Higashimatsura Peninsula. It offers a spectacular view of the Genkai Sea and has been designated as one of Japan's "100 Best Beaches," a part of the Genkai Quasi-National Park, and a "Sacred Place for Lovers" by the project satellite. Particularly noteworthy is the underwater observatory, a 20-meter tall and 9-meter diameter tower connected by an 86-meter-long pier, where visitors can enjoy the marine life and scenery. The surrounding area is great for hiking, fishing, camping, and swimming, and the local specialty, "sazae no tsuboyaki" (grilled turban shell), is a popular dish served freshly grilled at nearby shacks. The beauty of the sunset is also highly recommended, making it a place well worth visiting.
