White Water Great Pond Park

A comprehensive park developed around Shiramizu Pond, the symbol of Kasuga City. The reservoir is said to have been built in the early Edo period. There are various facilities on the pond, including a multi-purpose square on the north side, as well as a hall of stars, a fountain square, and a lawn square, while the south side has 19 unique and colorful kinds of play equipment, such as the Chibikko square and the observatory square. The roughly 2.2km garden road, which goes around the pond, is perfect for jogging and walking. You can enjoy cherry blossoms in the spring, autumn leaves in the autumn, and celestial observations in the star hall. From the observation tower, which stands at the observatory square and is about 13m high, you can see the blue-spreading Shirasui Pond and the streets of Fukuoka city.

Teramachi

A town where temples were collected during the Edo period for the defense of Kurume Castle. It is lined with 17 temples, and still retains the features of the Edo period. In each quaint temple there are tombs of many of the predecessors who were active in Kurume. The most well-known people are King Shishi Takayama Hikokuro, the founder of Kurume mochi, Inoue Den, the founder of Kurume Atsuji, Motozo Sakamoto, and the Western painter Harue Koga.

Suiten Palace

Sōhō-gū of Suiten-gū, which is located throughout the country. The beginning was that Ise, who served Emperor Andoku's birth mother, Takakura Taira Nakamiya [Azechi no Tsuboune], enshrined the spirit of the Heike, who had perished in the Battle of Nōnoura, to mourn. It is known as the guardian deity of asanis, child-giving, water-relief, and children.

Fukuju Temple

The temple of Obaku sect in a corner of Adachi Forest Park. The feudal lord, Tadamasa Ogasawara, was erected in Kanbun 5 (1665). It was later vanished by military fire and fire of Chōshū Cavalry at the end of the Tokugawa period. The main hall was rebuilt in Kyoho 2 (1717). Kaesando and others were built after the Meiji era. There is a garden behind the main hall, and the Sesshu Garden, which has natural stones in a borrowed view of Mount Ashitate, is a must. Please note that some of the precincts in the direction of the back mountain are unwatchable.
