This is a summer recommendation from the Saikai City Tourism Association in Nagasaki Prefecture♪
This year’s rainy season ended early, and a string of extremely hot days has followed.
Here are Saikai City spots to help you beat that heat.
◎ Tsugane-Otoshi Waterfall
Address: Yukinoura Kadori, Oseto, Saikai City※After passing Shinko-ji in Yukinoura village, you will see a signboard.
〇 Free admission, restrooms available
♪ Tsugane refers to the mud crab; the name comes from the sight of crabs being swept down with the falling water.
There is no plunge pool; water slams onto the rocks and creates a natural mist shower♪
◎ Yukinoura Seaside Park
Address: 615-14 Shimokamagō, Yukinoura, Oseto, Saikai City
〇 Open all day, free admission; restrooms and hot-water showers (100 yen per use) available.

◎ Nanatsugama Cave (Seven Cauldrons Limestone Cave)

We also recommend the “cooling platform” that uses the cave’s breeze and the “cold footbath” that uses chilled water♪
Saikai City is full of spectacular views, historic sites, and hidden gems♪
