Must-Visit Tourist Attraction in Japan - Kabeshima Lighthouse

The lighthouse that reminds people of the sentimental atmosphere of Hayao Miyazaki's works...👒 As you walk from the lighthouse to the Kabe Island observatory, the scenery of Howl's Moving Castle comes to mind. 🌿 Karatsu is famous for its fresh squid. After visiting the lighthouse, I recommend going to the Chinese restaurant "Kabeshima" (📍0955-82-5187), where you can enjoy a sea view while eating! ♥️ ✈️ "Hizen Tateshina-zaki Lighthouse" in Japan 📍 Kabeshima Island, Kako-cho, Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture 847-0305 This is my recommendation for a must-visit tourist attraction in Japan - Kabeshima Lighthouse!

Savoring Saga's Finest: A Beef Lover's Paradise

#japantrip My trip to Saga was elevated by a culinary experience at Kira Honten, where I indulged in premium Saga beef. The restaurant's unique tableside grill allowed me to cook tender cuts to perfection. The high-quality meat was incredibly juicy, with rich flavors that delighted my senses. I opted for the large set, which included Saga rice, fresh vegetables, and a range of accompaniments. The beef's beautiful marbling required only seconds of grilling, melting in my mouth with each bite. With specialized sauces and a lively atmosphere, Kira Honten is a must-visit for meat connoisseurs. Be sure to arrive early, as this gem is popular among locals and visitors alike.
