Facts of Karatsu

The city of Karatsu is situated on the northern part of the island Kyushu.

It is a rather small city and a popular vacation resort in the summer.

Karatsu is also widely known for the many ware kilns, and the

ceramics that are produced there. Near the city, along the beach

you will find the Rainbow Pine Grove. On a hill by the sea the Castle

looks down at the city. It is well worth it to walk the 235 steps up

on the hill to take a closer look at the castle-buildings and the

magnificent view of the city and the beach. You can also see the 284

meter high Mount Kagami, which is said to look the same from all directions.

When you are in Karatsu you must also visit the Karatsu Jinja and the

Hikiyama Exhibition Hall.
