Itoshima, located just west of Fukuoka City, blends beautiful beaches, dramatic coastal landscapes, lush forests, and a vibrant café culture—making it one of Kyushu's best-kept secrets.
Let’s set off together and discover the sea breeze and hidden gems of Itoshima—where every moment becomes an unforgettable memory!

Begin your journey with a visit to Shiraito Falls, a tranquil hideaway high in the hills. Feel the fresh mountain air, cool mist, and the sound of cascading water as you take a short forest walk.

Next, step into the calm of Sennyoji Temple(self-paid), home to a majestic 4.8-meter Thousand-Armed Kannon and over 500 stone Rakan statues, each with its own expression. In autumn, a 400-year-old maple turns a vivid red — a living work of art.

***Reminder: from Nov.1st, Go to Romantic Hidden Gem in Itoshima – The Coconut Tree Swing.

Just a short 1-hour drive from Fukuoka City, you’ll find a seaside paradise that looks straight out of Hawaii.
