Tara & Kashima area guide

For a sea torii, crabs and a bright red shrine.

What this area is like

At Ouo Shrine in Tara, a row of torii stands in the Ariake Sea and disappears at high tide. Tara is known for its large Takezaki crabs, and Yutoku Inari Shrine in Kashima has a bright vermilion hall on a cliff.

Plan your visit

Check tide times before visiting the sea torii; the JR Nagasaki Line runs to Hizen-Kashima.
