The port town of Yobuko in Karatsu City is known as the "squid town." Yobuko Morning Market, one of Japan's three largest morning markets, has been running for over 100 years near the port. Energetic grandmas sell Yobuko's specialty products in the traditional face-to-face style.

You can eat live squid sashimi, a specialty of Yobuko. The squid is quickly taken out of the fish tank and cut into pieces, making it very transparent. The menu includes set meals with live squid sashimi, squid rice bowls, squid shumai and tempura, and sea bream head simmered dishes.

Cape Hado is located at the northwestern tip of the Higashi Matsuura Peninsula, with the Genkai Sea stretching out before you. The white heart-shaped ribbon object standing in the grassland was created based on the word "hato" meaning "heart," and is known as a sacred place for lovers.

This park opened in conjunction with the opening of the Yobuko Bridge, and its symbol is the white windmill that generates electricity. On clear days, you can enjoy a panoramic view all the way to Iki from the observation deck, and at night you can enjoy the beautiful night view of Yobuko Port.

Tajima Shrine is said to be the oldest shrine in Hizen. It is known as the god of the sea, and it is said that in the past, Japanese envoys to the Sui and Tang dynasties visited the shrine to pray for safe voyages. In addition, Sayohime Shrine, located within the shrine grounds, is also known as a shrine for matchmaking.

It is a cable-stayed bridge with a total length of approximately 728m that connects Yobuko and Kabeshima. The harp-like arch over the blue sea is a beautiful sight, and the silhouette of the bridge against the backdrop of the sunset is a popular viewing point. There is a walking bridge under the bridge, so it is also recommended to walk while looking up at the Yobuko Bridge.
