Can enjoy both seaside running and trail running in the pine trees - not so beautiful but nice place!

Although trip to Karatsu from Fukuoka took a long time, thabks to Nijo No Marsubara Pine Grove walkikg trail, I felt very proud of my decision. My parent really loved here as well.

Beautiful, cool (temperature) and serene. Was a very memorable walk. There are also children's play areas scattered along the path, so great for kids to play and parents to relax. Due to the ground being covered by pine needles a lot of noise is absorbed. The road is less than 100m away from the path but the sound of cars driving by is very faint. If you're in the area, consider giving Karatsu Burger Matsubara Honten a try

Really cool place to take a walk. The trees are all slanted and it is amazing how they are all standing. The area is very large and you will multiple areas to park a car to enjoy this amazing pine grove. Plus, it is right next to the a very nice beach that is also worth a visit.

Lovely, quiet, beautiful place. Thousands of pine trees are all over the place. Not too many people and the area is huge. You are steping on fallen pine leaves, it is soft and it release a faint of pine fragrance. It is a very nice place for a short walk. I walked 3km from Karatsu Castle to Niji no Matsubara, then another 2km to JR 虹ノ松原駅.

Calm, peace and quite place. Very suitable to relax your mind.

Nice place to take a walk. Some of the trees are really impressive! You can also get to the beach from there.

It was a decent place to stop by and try the Famous Karatsu burger! Didn't really get to explore as we are running out of time when we went there. They have a map and also the places that is available for visitors to come and visit while they were there's.

(Translated by Google) A real store of Saikai Pottery Co., Ltd. The first floor is a gallery. The basement is the outlet. You can purchase various pottery, mainly Hasami ware, at 30% to 50% off. Especially the sets are cheap, and the ones that are late in season were around 1,500 yen for 5 bowls, which is the same price as buying Hasami ware sold at a home center. . It was so cheap that I asked if it was really worth it. . Considering that I put it on the table every day, if it is too expensive, it will be a big shock when I break it, but I don't like mass-produced ones like those at 100 yen stores. Recommended for those who say. There are shops selling various types of Hasami ware in the vicinity, but I think this is a wonderful shop that has a large selection of products and can be enjoyed casually. (Original) 西海陶器株式会社さんのリアル店舗。 一階は、ギャラリー。地下が、アウトレット。 様々な、波佐見焼を中心とした焼き物が、30%から最大50%オフで購入できます。 特にセットものは安く、シーズン遅れのものなどは、お茶碗5枚で1500円程度と、ホームセンターで売られているようなものを購入するようなお値段で波佐見焼を手に入れることができました。 あまりに安すぎて、本当にこの値段でいいのか聞いてしまった位。。 毎日食卓に並べることを考えると、あまり高すぎると、割ってしまったときのショックが大きいし、でも、百均にあるような大量生産されたものは嫌。という方には、おススメ。 付近にも、様々な波佐見焼を売っている店舗がありますが、その中でも、品揃えも多く、カジュアルに楽しめる、素敵なショップだと思います、

beautiful showroom of Arita porcelain wares on the upper floor and a warehouse of huge porcelain ware offerings on the lower floor for your picking.

The outlet had a lot of porcelain ware. Huge variety and discount ranging from 10 to 50%

A lot of varieties of ceramic and glasses

Beautiful ceramics

(Translated by Google) There is also a corner for traders, which is spacious and stylish. Is there a Vietnamese pho specialty store next to the store? There is also a ramen center across the road in front of it. This is an area where you will feel full after enjoying the eye candy. The basement is used regularly. All the tableware on the first floor is nice. (Original) 業者用コーナーもありとにかく広くてオシャレ。店舗の横にはベトナムのフォー専門店？もあり、道路挟んで前にはラーメンセンターあり。眼福の後はお腹も満腹になりそうなエリア。 地下は普段使い。1階の食器はどれも素敵です。

(Translated by Google) As the name suggests, this is a Nishikai Pottery store with an impressive large triangular roof.The first floor is a gallery, and the first basement is an outlet. The gallery is a wonderful space with ceramics used everywhere, including the stairs and walls, and the outlet has a large store with so many ceramics that you can easily see them, and both have a wide selection of products. (Original) 店名の通り大きな三角屋根が印象的な西海陶器の店舗で、１階がギャラリー、地下１会がアウトレットとなっています。 ギャラリーは階段や壁などあちこちに陶器が使われている素敵な空間、アウトレットは広い店内に目移りするほどたくさんの陶器が並んでいて、どちらも充実した品揃えです。

(Translated by Google) Lots of stylish tableware! Now I want all of these 💓 The first floor felt like a warehouse, and the second floor had stylish displays. There was a pho shop next door, and even though it was a weekday, it was a huge success 🍜 (Original) オシャレな食器が沢山！どれもこれも欲しくなってしまいました💓‪ 1階は倉庫のような感じで、2階はオシャレなディスプレイでした。 隣にはフォー屋さんがあり、平日でしたが大盛況でした🍜

Very picturesque scenery of terraced rice fields, a must see! Super easy to drive to the location along with a small parking lot.

Enjoyed seeing the rice fields and the scarecrow festival. Can’t wait to come here again when the weather is better :)

It's one of Japan's top 100 rice terraces fields! Oniki Rice Terraces in Hasami, Nagasaki Prefecture! The spring water from the mountain behind it is continuous throughout the year. Taking advantage of the unique topography of Oniki, which is cool and has a large temperature difference,

A really cool view from the viewpoint. Best in September when the red flowers come out and air quality improves. Be careful when driving in the higher elevated roads above the terraces, we found ourselves on a road that looks like it isn't maintained and was covered in rocks and branches.

Great rice terrasse field with tea plantation terrasse field as well, nice day trip for Hasami and Arita porcelaine town and close to Basecamp imari, a cafe terrasse, lounge, lodge place located in the center of the village of the hidden kilns, Okawachiyama...

(Translated by Google) I went to the annual Oniki Tanada Festival. Park your car at Hasamicho Ceramics Park and take a free shuttle bus from there to Oniki Processing Center and the event venue. There are huge crowds on holidays. I felt like the scarecrow wasn't as good as usual, but I still enjoyed it. Even after the festival is over, it will remain on display until early October. After watching the scarecrows, we went up to the observation deck a little higher up and enjoyed the view of the golden rice 🌾 and tea fields. However, it was extremely hot and humid, and I was drenched in sweat. I plan to come again next year, so I used the shuttle bus to return home. (Original) 例年恒例の鬼木たなだ祭りに行きました。波佐見町やきもの公園に車を停めて、ここからシャトルバス無料で鬼木加工センター、イベント会場まで。祭日と有って凄い人だかり。案山子は例年よりも少し物足りない気もしましたが、そこそこ楽しめました。祭りは終わっても、10月初旬位までは展示されてるそうです。案山子を見物し、少し上の展望所へ上り、黄金色の稲🌾にお茶畑の眺めを堪能しました。ただ、凄い暑くて暑くて、汗だくの見物でした。またまた、来年も来るよーで、シャトルバスを利用しまして帰りました。

(Translated by Google) You can see the scenery of Japanese villages. It may be even more beautiful when there is rice. Please note that there are areas where the road is only wide enough for one car. (Original) 日本の里の風景が見られます。稲がある時期はもっと美しいかも知れませんね。 道幅が車一台分しか無いエリアがありますので注意が必要です。

Showroom (Hasami) is a work is installation art, visitors steps in a platform of thousands ceramics to view displayed goods. Store itself host good collaborative selection along with rarities.

Very nice park and cafe

I highly suggest visiting you can't beat the experience

(Translated by Google) It was a very creative space. There are many works of art, and in addition to watching them, you can also enjoy coffee on the terrace, so I had a great time. There are many other beautiful places, but my smartphone ran out of battery, so I couldn't capture them with my camera. When you go on a trip, we recommend that you leave your smartphone charged! (lol) (Original) とても創造力豊かな空間となっておりました。 多くの作品があり、観るだけでなくテラスとして珈琲を飲めたりもしますので、楽しく過ごせました。 他にも色々綺麗な場所があるのにスマホの充電が切れた為、カメラとして残せておりません...。 旅行に行く際は是非スマホの充電を残した状態で向かう事をオススメします！(笑)

(Translated by Google) There is a park where small children can run around and a Hasami ware direct sales store. There's also a cafe space inside the store, so you can have a drink and take a break when you're tired of shopping or playing! Artificial grass cushion is interesting👍 There is also a parking lot and toilets for the disabled. (Original) 小さな子どもが走り回れる公園と波佐見焼の直売店があります。 店内にはカフェスペースもあるので買い物や遊び疲れたときに飲物飲んで休憩できますよ！ 人工芝クッション面白い👍 身障者用の駐車場やトイレもあります。

(Translated by Google) Not only are they creating various street-style products based on Hasami ware pottery, but they have also created a space. It's a mixture of modern Japanese street style and Dutch design from a while back, and it has a really good taste. (Original) 波佐見焼の陶器を土台に様々なストリートテイストなプロダクトを作っているだけでなく、空間まで作ってしまった恐ろしい取り組み。今の日本のストリートっぽい感じと、一昔前のダッチデザインな感じと、いろいろと混ざっていてセンスがめちゃくちゃよい。

(Translated by Google) The way it matches with the bowl is refreshing. The store has moved from its previous location. There is a parking lot right in front, but you can park at Hasami Pottery Park and take a pleasant walk (about 10 minutes) in the middle of a green space. After shopping, take a break at a cafe. There was also organic non-alcoholic beer. A baby grasshopper 🦗 and a baby lizard 🦎 get hit by a car and are surprised while walking. (Original) 器とので合わせ方が、新鮮です。 お店は、以前の場所から、移転。駐車場が、真ん前にありますが、ハサミ焼き物公園に止めて、お散歩(10分ほど)も楽しい、緑地の真ん中にあります。お買い物をしたあとは、カフェで、一休み。オーガニックノンアルビールもありました。 バッタ🦗や、トカゲ🦎の子供が、車に轢かれていて、歩きながら、驚きます。

(Translated by Google) There were stylish pottery, cactus sweets, toys, etc., and there was also a cafe where you could eat food and drinks. The park is spacious and a place where kids can have fun! (Original) お洒落な陶器やサボテンお菓子やおもちゃ等あったり、カフェでご飯や飲み物も食べれるようでした。公園も広く子どもも楽しめる場所です！

Good!

(Translated by Google) I was surprised by the friendliness of the staff at the facility. Even though it was cold, the tourist information in the area was explained from the balcony. Thank you so much❗ (Original) 館内の職員の方の親切さには驚きました❗ 付近の観光案内も寒いのにベランダから説明され 本当にありがとうございました❗

(Translated by Google) “36th Nakaoyama Sakura Pottery Festival” will be held from March 30th to 31st, 2024 Apparently this exchange hall is the main venue. The staff told me that this year's event was timed to coincide with the blooming of cherry blossoms, so I was told that I could look forward to it. I'm looking forward to it. (Original) 「第36中尾山　桜陶祭」2024年3/30〜31に開催 こちらの交流館がメイン会場なんだそうです。 今年は桜の開花に合わせたようなので期待できそうだと職員さんにご案内いただきました〜楽しみです。

(Translated by Google) Nakaoyama Community Center is located at the far end of the narrow road lined with potteries. Although the atmosphere is difficult to enter at first glance, the view of the cityscape and mountains from the second floor is very nice. On your right, you can see the remains of a large climbing kiln and the white pottery stone of Mt. Hakutake. Here you can purchase a variety of pottery from Hasami potteries, and there are also some old ceramics on display. In Arita, you can see it at the Kyushu Ceramic Culture Museum, Arita Ceramic Art Museum, and many other potteries and shops, but in Hasami it is rare and is a valuable facility. (Original) 窯元が建ち並ぶ細い道を上った一番奥にある中尾山交流館。 一見入りにくい雰囲気ですが、2階から望む町並みや山々が連なる景色はとても素敵です。右手には大きな登窯跡や白岳山の白い陶石も。 ここでは様々な波佐見の窯元のうつわが購入できますが、古陶磁も何点か展示されています。有田では九州陶磁文化館や有田陶磁美術館のほか、多くの窯元やお店で見ることができますが、波佐見ではあまり見かけることがなく貴重な施設です。

(Translated by Google) There are many beautiful celadon tile paintings around the community center located in the parking lot of Nakaoyama, where Imari ware potteries are lined up. (Original) 伊万里焼きの窯元が、立ち並ぶ中尾山の駐車場にある交流館の周りには、青磁の美しいタイル画が、沢山あります。

(Translated by Google) The second floor serves as a sales area and is like a pottery gallery, so you can enjoy it. It's ok to just take a tour. You can see a panoramic view of Mt. Nakao from the terrace. (Original) 2階が販売兼、窯元のギャラリーのようになっていて楽しめます。見学だけでもok。テラスから中尾山の様子を一望できます。

(Translated by Google) You can try your hand at making pot-baked pizza. You can have the shop make it for you, but it's fun to make it by hand🎵We recommend taking a walk around the kilns (please note that they seem to be closed on some days of the week). (Original) 釜焼きピザ手作り体験ができる。お店の方に作ってもらう事もできるけど、手作りが楽しい🎵散策しながらの窯元巡りがお薦めします(曜日によってはお休みが有るみたいなので注意)
