When you think of autumn scenery, most people probably think of mountains dyed red with autumn leaves.
But in Saga Prefecture in autumn, you can witness a unique scene that could be called the "Autumn Foliage of the Sea"! ☺
What paints the Ariake Sea red is the salt-tolerant plant "Shichimenso"(suaeda japonica), which grows to about 20-40 cm tall! Around early November, it turns a beautiful red color, attracting locals and visitors alike💕
The embankment at Higashiyoka coast in Saga City is known as a great spot to observe the fields of Shichimensou, so be sure to visit! *Please take extra care for safety when observing.
