Omura & Isahaya: Scenic Flower Drive through Omura Park and Shirakimmine Plateau

A spectacular scenic drive connecting flower-viewing spots through Omura City and Isahaya City in central Nagasaki Prefecture. Start in the morning at Omura Park sprawling across the ruins of Kushima Castle. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through this flower park, selected as one of Japan's 100 Famous Cherry Blossom Spots, with views of the stone walls, the Itajiki Tower, and Omura Bay. For lunch, visit the popular Omura Yume Farm Shunshu, a farm-operated facility where you can enjoy fresh-picked vegetable dishes and signature ice cream. In the afternoon, bathe in negative ions at the unique Uramimi Falls, where you can view the waterfall from behind, then marvel at the reflected twin arches of the Important Cultural Property Spectacles Bridge at Isahaya Park. The grand finale is Shirakimmine Plateau at about 350 meters elevation, where you can take in a sweeping panorama of the Isahaya Plain and Ariake Sea. An indulgent drive packed with flowers, water, and stunning scenery all in one day!
