Shiraito Falls: Located at the foot of Mt. Raizan in Itoshima, the waterfall's name comes from its beautiful shape, resembling a white silk thread flowing down the mountain. The air surrounding the falls is refreshing and rich in negative oxygen ions, making it a perfect place for relaxation. Here, visitors can fully breathe in the breath of nature and experience its tranquility and beauty.
Raizan Senruji Temple (Daibeiwangin): This temple boasts over 1,300 years of history and is a significant Buddhist sanctuary in Kyushu. Famous for its Thousand-Armed Guanyin statue and the vibrant autumn foliage that blankets the mountain, it's a must-see for locals and tourists alike. Here, visitors can experience a rich historical and cultural atmosphere, pray with sincerity, and find inner peace.
The "Coconut Tree Swing" is set along the coastline, with a wooden swing suspended between two tall coconut trees. Behind it stretches an endless blue sky and turquoise sea, creating the feeling of being in a tropical paradise.
Totoro Forest Trail and Akebuya Gate: Strolling through this path feels like stepping into the world of Hayao Miyazaki's "My Neighbor Totoro." The lush forest and tranquil surroundings evoke a fairytale-like feeling. We'll then visit Akebuya Gate, one of Japan's three largest basalt formations, shaped like a gate and a truly spectacular sight. This spot is also a favorite for photographers, so take some photos.
Sakurai Futamiura and Meotoiwa: These rocks symbolize the bond between husband and wife, and the rope connecting them represents the marriage bond. Here, you can feel the refreshing sea breeze and the majestic power of nature, making it a great place to pray for a happy marriage.
The sea is calm in spring and rough in winter, and the changing scenery with the seasons makes Futamiura a popular photo spot.
About 600 meters from Meotoiwa Rock, we recommend Angel Wings, one of Itoshima City's most popular check-in spots! Named after a pair of giant white murals depicting "angel wings," symbolizing dreams and hope, this spot is a must-see for tourists and photography enthusiasts.
Fukuoka Tower and Seaside Park: Fukuoka Tower is a landmark of Fukuoka. From its summit, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of downtown Fukuoka and Hakata Bay. The adjacent Seaside Park is a great place for a stroll and leisurely stroll, allowing visitors to enjoy their last moments of leisure.
