Itoshima is a place I wanted to visit when I came to Fukuoka before. At that time, I didn't have extra time and felt tired from traveling, so when I planned the itinerary this time, I planned it in without hesitation. After Itoshima, I was also hesitant about whether to go to Nokonoshima, but I thought it would be a stop on the way back to Hakata, so I went there. I didn't regret it! !
To go to Itoshima, first take the Fukuoka Metro Airport Line "Chikuzen-Maehara" train. You don't need to get off at Meinohama Station to transfer. Get off at "JR Kyudaigentoshi Station" and then transfer to the Showa Bus. You should check the timetable before going out. The first stop I went to was Sakurai Shrine. After getting off the bus, it took about 10-15 minutes to walk. There were desolate areas in between. After visiting Sakurai Shrine, I took a bus to Futamigaura Meow and Werewo Rock, a torii in the sea.
Sakurai Shrine: Get off at "Sakurai Station" on the Showa Bus
Maybe there were fewer tourists then, so it was very quiet and comfortable inside. The couple of gods are enshrined, and it is said to purify, exorcise disasters, and bring about a good marriage.
Futamiura Meotowa Rock: This is a beautiful rock no matter which angle you look at it from, especially when paired with the Torii Gate in the sea, it is really beautiful! ! After finishing here, I walked along the way to SUNSET, Angel Wings, palm trees, swings, and Doraemon's Anywhere Door, took some photos, and then took the bus away.
Nokonoshima Island: Take the Fukuoka Metro Airport Line and get off at "Meinohama Station", then take the Nishitetsu Bus from "Meinohama Station North Exit Station", get off at "Nokono-Ferry Terminal Station", and then take the ferry to arrive. The only trip I made to Nokonoshima Island was to "Nokonoshima Island Park", and there is a bus to take after getting off the ferry.
After getting off the bus, we finally arrived at Nokonoshima Island Park. Since we hadn't eaten all day, we ate at the restaurant in the island park, "Koko Udon". They had both hot and cold dishes. I ordered cold tsukemen. After eating, we slowly walked to Shiba no Hiroba, which was filled with blooming flowers and was super beautiful! ! !
