Explore the Castle Town with White Walls and Winding Slopes
About this spot
Kitsuki Castle Town, which retains vivid echoes of the Edo period, is known as a "sandwich-style castle town" where samurai residences and merchant towns face each other across a ravine. The representative Suya Slope and Shiho'ya Slope are picturesque photo spots with white-walled warehouses and stone pavements, where visitors often rent kimono for their stroll. The stone-paved slopes are well-maintained and easy to walk, so even families with small children can leisurely enjoy the castle town's atmosphere. Begin your journey before heading to the beach with a stroll that feels like stepping back in time to the Edo period.

Date & time: 7/14 (Tue)–8/14 (Fri) 9:00–16:30
Venue: 杵築市・奈多海岸海水浴場
杵築市にある奈多海岸海水浴場は、2026年は7月14日(火)から8月14日(金)まで、9時から16時30分まで開設されます。遊泳は無料で、トイレと冷水シャワー(有料)、約100台分の駐車場も整っており、家族連れでも訪れやすい海水浴場です。遠浅で穏やかな海は小さな子どもの水遊びにも向いており、砂浜での砂遊びから波打ち際でのひとときまで、夏の1日をゆったり過ごせます。杵築城下町散策の締めくくりにふさわしい、開放感あふれる海辺の時間です。
Tips
遊泳は無料ですが、レンタル用品と冷水シャワーは有料なのでタオルと着替えは持参を。駐車場は約100台分あります。遊泳時間は16時30分までなので、着替えの時間も見込んで16時15分ごろには切り上げるのがおすすめです。
Tips
Since there are many slopes, there are sections where a sling carrier is more practical than a stroller. Summer sun is intense, so don't forget a hat and water for hydration. If renting a kimono, allow extra time and visit early in the morning for a smoother experience.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour required. Early morning hours have fewer tourists, making it easier to photograph the slopes at leisure.
