Yobuko town in Karatsu city, blessed with a good natural port, once flourished as a base for whaling. These days it is visited by many sightseers all-year-round, who come seeking fresh seafood by trying fresh squid sashimi or visiting Yobuko Morning Market. Yobuko Ohashi Bridge, over 728 meters in length, is said to be the symbol of Yobuko. Kabeshima Island, which is across the bridge, has plenty to see including “Kaze-no-Mieruoka Park”, Tashima Shrine, which is shrouded in the legend of Princess Sayo Matsura, and an array of gourmet spots.
