How about going for a road trip on a sunny day? The area between Kitakyushu and Keichiku, located south from Kitakyshu, is a treasure trove of nature and traditional performing arts. The area offers a wide variety of attractions, from Karaage Road, the mecca for karaage lovers; a fisherman’s cafeteria directly operated by the Fisheries Cooperative Association; and soba milling classes and limestone cave exploration in Hiraodai. Refresh yourself with a peaceful walk through the forests of Buzen featuring sweeping views of beautiful rice fields. In the fall, catch a glimpse of Kagura traditional performing arts, which is an important part of local countryside life for praying for an abundant harvest. Get away from the stress of everyday life, and relax among nature!
