Transcending distant times ~ A place where the past and present intersect ~

Kitahamachisaki Ryokuchi is a place where you can get a close look at the Ryujin Statue, surrounded by greenery and overlooking the old Sakai Port. The view of the statue and the port city in the distance will make you feel the historical charm. With a touch of humor, it's a wonderful location where you can physically feel the importance of the Ryujin Statue.

Recommended to explore the city by car

If you want to fully enjoy the charm of sightseeing, driving is the most convenient. There are some free parking lots at Kitahamachisaki Ryokuchi, but they cannot accommodate large vehicles, so it's best to use paid parking lots in the city. If you mainly want to walk around the city, walking or renting a bike is also a good option. However, since the distance to the Ryujin Statue is quite far, please plan your trip carefully. The best way to enjoy is to find it according to your preferences.
