OVERVIEW

The 10km marked trail begins in the town of Kuchinotsu, leading walkers around the charming little port town, through woods and rolling hills, before coming to an end along the beautiful coastline of the Ariake Sea.

Sights not to miss include the Sezumesaki Lighthouse and the chance to walk along the rocky volcanic coastline at low-tide. This course can be accessed by car or bus from Shimabara, Obama or Isahaya.

Level: Beginner
Time required: 3-5hrs (return)
