Nestled in Saga Prefecture's breathtaking natural landscape, Kyoseki Park captivates with its mysterious megaliths and stunning views, offering opportunities for hiking and fishing.
Overview
Kyoseki Park, located in Yamato-machi, Saga City, Saga Prefecture, is a park featuring 17 megaliths, each over 10 meters tall, situated at altitudes ranging from 200 to 350 meters. These stones, bearing the weight of thousands of years, each hold a unique story and emanate a mystical atmosphere. The megaliths are believed to be the sacred objects of Yotohime Shrine, once a prominent shrine in Hizen province, adding a touch of ancient mystique. A well-maintained walking trail winds through the megalith cluster, providing a delightful hiking experience. The trail snakes between the stones, adding to the sense of adventure. The views from atop the stones are breathtaking and expansive. A fishing area nearby offers the chance to enjoy stream fishing. Fishing rods and bait are available for rent at the park, so you can simply show up and enjoy. The park also boasts a spacious multi-purpose area with a lush, natural grass field, perfect for picnics and barbecues. Rest areas and restrooms are conveniently located nearby. Kyoseki Park is a highly recommended destination to connect with nature and experience the allure of ancient history. If you're visiting Saga Prefecture, be sure to include it in your itinerary.
