On Saturday after my run in Kabeshima Island, I spend the morning sightseeing Karatsu.
I then drove to the ruins of Hizen Nagoya Castle - the fortress built in 1591 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, then ruler of Japan to invade Korea and China.
The Port of Yobuko's cuttlefish-catching boats.
There were many sea-product-selling stalls at the narrow street of the market.
I then drove to the ruins of Hizen Nagoya Castle - the fortress built in 1591 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, then ruler of Japan to invade Korea and China.
A picture of the castle that used to be.
The area that led to the main castle buildings has big trees now.
Old rock steps.
A monument stands at the area where main building stood.
This is where Tenshu tower stood.
Looking down at the walls of the castle from Tenshu area.
I squeezed in visiting the area of Cape Hado - the tip of the peninsula where the fortress ruins are.
There was a nice public beach there.
The lighthouse at the tip of the cape and a Torii that leads to it.
A view from the tip of the cape - two islands are Matsushima and Katoshima Islands to the north - about 3 km away.
The monument of Heart - "Hado" sounds like "heart" pronounced in Japanese.
