Rare Torii Gate in the Sea - Changing With the Tides

About this spot

A rare torii gate standing in the mudflats offshore of Ariake Sea, unique across Japan. At high tide, it appears to float on the water; at low tide, you can walk out to it. The gate shows a completely different appearance depending on the tide. A shrine with a local legend about saving people from tsunamis, it has been carefully preserved by the community. In the magnificent landscape of Ariake Sea with its mudflats, it's a perfect spot for families to experience natural wonders.

2026年8月29日(土)、有明海に面した運動広場で開催される第35回太良町納涼夏まつり花火大会です。干潟が広がる穏やかな海を背景に、花火が夜空に次々と打ち上がります。昼間に訪れた海中鳥居や干潟の景色を思い出しながら見上げる花火は、太良町ならではの1日の締めくくりにふさわしいひとときです。大きな都市の花火大会とは違う、静かで温かい地域のお祭りの雰囲気を家族で楽しみましょう。

Tips

荒天時は中止となる場合があるため、当日は太良町の公式発表を確認しましょう。終了後は周辺道路が混み合うため、少し時間をおいてから帰路につくのがおすすめです。夜の会場周辺は照明が少ないため、足元にはスマホのライトを。
