Here?
Kawachi Pass is a pass located on Hirado Island, close to hirado city center.
The view from the place where it took about 3 minutes on foot to go up the hill near the parking lot of Kawachi pass is breathtaking.
You can see the sea and mainland Kyushu below, and various islands in the distance. It is a scenic spot with a large panorama.
Around here.
There is also a scenic spot near here.
From the "Kawachi Pass Observatory", which can be climbed from the "Kawachi Pass Information Center", you can see the Hirado Bridge, etc., and you can enjoy a superb view that is different from the scenery introduced in this article.
What is the best place to see Kawachi Pass?
The map of the place will be described later, but there was a small hill beside the parking lot of Kawachi Pass, and the view from the top was superb.
The hill seen from the parking lot looks like this.
The scenery is the best, and I think that it is about 3 minutes if you climb early and 5 minutes if you climb slowly.
It is a road like a beast road, but there is no grass in the place to walk. So, it might be a little difficult because it was raining.
I did not encounter it at this time, but I think that there are creatures such as insects if you are unlucky, so if you are not good at it, be careful.
North
The direction where the parking lot can be seen below is about north.
I think that it is good to mark this direction.
On this day, clouds are not visible in the way, but if the weather is good, "Iki" seems to be visible in the north-northeast area.
Northwest
In the northwest, you can see "I first moon island".
I was in a very close place on I.
On the far right of I first-moon Island is where the Great Bae Lighthouse is located.
In the summer air of this day, it is not possible to confirm it even with a telephoto lens, but it seems that "Toshima" can be seen a little around the right side of the Large Baye Lighthouse.
South, East
Below you will see the white sandy beaches and blue seas of the southern country, and beyond that you can also see the kyushu mainland.
It is truly a superb view.
Where is Kawachi Pass located?
Around here.
It is located on Hirado Island, with a pass in its name, but it is a little off the main road.
The road was wide and well maintained, so driving was easy.
