This lookout is easily accessible by car. There were many photographers taking up the space, they were there to take pictures of migratory birds. The view is stunning and worth the visit if you are in Karatsu city.

Google Map took us the back road, had to drive very carefully. Once made it up. It was time well spent.

Great place to enjoy fresh air in pine forest and the sunset. There is a story about the mountain. In the time of Emperor Senka in 6th century Princess Sayo had affair with the warlord Sadehiko. At the time of leaving of Sadehiko to Korean peninsula, Sayo climbed up to the top of Kagamiyama mountain and waved her shawl until the ship was at the sights. So romantic! ha!

This park is a quiet with a wealth of nature and easy to visit, not so far from central Karatsu city. There are sidewalks, shrines, observatories, some little historical sites and toilets throughout this large park so I could enjoy walking around comfortably. If it’s sunny, I’d recommend.

It's a great place to experience sunset! You have both mountains and sea in your view. You can see the Kartsu Castle from here. There are gift shop, pottery shop and a Udon shop here. You have to park your car a bit far from the main observatory. It's a 5 minute walk. You will enjoy and remember the view of the nature from here, for the rest of your life. Going here, @ sunset time is highly recommended.
