Gaze Across the Shiraishi Plain and Ariake Bay from the Countryside Peak Called "Shiraishi Fuji"
About this spot
A small mountain locals affectionately call "Shiraishi Fuji" for its beautiful conical shape. Atago Shrine (愛宕神社) stands at the summit, where from the shrine building you can view the spread of the Shiraishi Plain and Ariake Bay in the distance. Its modest elevation makes it accessible to families, letting you appreciate the terrain's character. As evening approaches, watch the light transform across the plain.

Venue: 杵島郡白石町・潮塞観音
白石町の潮塞観音で営まれる「潮塞観音祭」は、地域に古くから受け継がれてきた夏の伝統行事です。2026年は8月25日(火)の開催で、日中の暑さが和らぐ夕方から夜にかけて、地元の人々が集まり静かに祈りを捧げます。昼間に訪れた祐徳稲荷神社の華やかさや稲佐神社・愛宕山の自然の豊かさとはまた違う、白石町ならではの素朴で温かい行事の空気を感じられる時間です。都市部の派手な祭りとは一線を画す、地域に根ざした信仰の形をぜひ体感してください。
Tips
夜間は境内周辺が暗くなるため、懐中電灯やスマートフォンの照明があると安心です。駐車場は台数に限りがあるため、早めの到着がおすすめです。静かな行事のため、境内では落ち着いて過ごしましょう。
Tips
Drive from Inasa Shrine. The mountain path has some uphill sections, so wear comfortable shoes. Summer afternoons can be hot; choose a time when shade is available for comfort.
Best time to visit
Plan for about 50 minutes. Afternoon light beautifully illuminates the plain and bay views.
