In the city center, the Kamitori and Shimotori arcades offer extensive shopping, while the southern town of Hitoyoshi houses the national treasure Aoi Aso Shrine and Hitoyoshi Castle ruins. Natural landmarks include the walk-behind Nabegataki Falls and the hot spring retreat of Kurokawa Onsen.

The ruins of Hitoyoshi Castle and Yatsushiro Castle showcase 12th and 17th-century construction styles, while Tomioka Castle highlights the strategic maritime defenses of the Amakusa region.
