Kawachi Pass

Nestled in Ono Town of Hirado City, Kawauchi Pass offers a breathtaking panorama where the vivid blue sea meets endless green meadows. Stepping onto this gently rolling hillside, visitors are greeted by a vast natural landscape that captures the heart with its sweeping scale and tranquil beauty.

One of the most striking features of Kawauchi Pass is its 360-degree open view. From the summit, you can gaze out over the shimmering East China Sea and the scattered islands of Kujukushima, with Tsushima Island often visible in the distance. The scenery changes with the seasons, presenting vibrant azaleas in spring, golden pampas grass swaying in the autumn breeze, and in winter, the dramatic spectacle of controlled grass burning that brings a lively, almost primal energy to the area.

Perfect for a leisurely drive or a peaceful walk, Kawauchi Pass invites visitors to immerse themselves in the fresh coastal air and unspoiled nature. You can take in the expansive vistas from the observation platform or wander along the gentle trails, feeling the soft grass underfoot and the calming rhythm of the countryside. Whether visiting in spring or autumn, each season brings a fresh, vivid palette, making this spot a beloved destination to fully experience the rich natural beauty of Hirado.
