Tsuyazaki Kofun group

It is located within the Genkai National Monument. It is well known for its beautiful seashore of white-sand blue pine trees. It is also known for its beautiful setting sun. At low tide from the spring tide to the middle tide, the sandy beach reflects the sky.

The upper part of the Motoki River, which flows through the mountains in the eastern part of Fukutsu City, is known to have seen firefly raunts in early summer. Hotaru-no-sato, which has been made into a park with its firefly habitat, is a natural-rich park of about 1km long along the Motoki River. The hills of the sun, a plum forest where 140 plums of 11 varieties can be seen, and a cherry blossom forest with 220 cherry trees of 6 varieties are provided, so you can enjoy forest bathing and walking. Firefly awards are recommended from late May to early June from around 19:30 to just over 20 o'clock.

Among the nation-designated historical sites, the Tsuyazaki Kofun group has the largest concentration of burial mounds. A total of 41 burial mounds have been built up between the 5th and 6th centuries on a plateau facing the former entry sea, which is now a paddy field. From the observation post on the southern side of the Kofun group, you can see the sea that leads to Oshima and Okinoshima, where the Kofun mounds scattered among the rice fields and the Munakata Taisha Nakatsu-gū are located. As a group of tombs proving the existence of the ancient royal family, the Munakata clan, who nurtured their faith in Okinoshima, it was listed as a World Heritage Site as a constituent asset of the "Kamishuru Ru" Munakata, Okinoshima and the related heritage group.
