Itoshima City Sakurai Futamigaura
Sakurai Futamigaura is located in the northern part of Itoshima City and overlooks the Sea of Genkai. It is one of Fukuoka's representative scenic spots, selected as one of the "100 Best Shorelines of Japan," and is an essential stopover when driving around Itoshima.
The white torii gate with the Meoto Iwa rocks in the background looks both sacred and romantic. It's a really meaningful spot for couples—a symbol of happiness!
Mojiko Retro
Moji Port was opened in the early Meiji Period and prospered in international trade. Nostalgic architecture, built from the Meiji into early Showa Periods, are still standing today. It is a fun area to meander.
The 'Banana Man' statue is so funny! You have to take a photo with it. 😂
Meiji Jingu Gaien (Outer Garden)
Meiji Jingu Gaien, the outer park of Meiji Shrine, was established in 1926. It features the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery and various sports facilities, such as the Meiji Jingu Stadium, where you can enjoy nature throughout the four seasons.
The most famous thing at Meiji Jingu Gaien is the stadium. I always bring my kids here to play. There are all kinds of sports facilities and even a children's park—it's a favorite for the little ones! 👍
Edogawa Natural Zoo
An admission-free nature zoo located within the Gyousen Park, in which Edogawa inhabitants spend a relaxing time. In the zoo, approx.58 species and 630 animals live freely and easily such as lesser pandas, owls, squirrels, and wallabies.
Edogawa Natural Zoo is free to enter, and even though it's small, it has everything! The interactive area is super popular—you can hug rabbits and guinea pigs, or get close to goats and sheep (open twice a day: 10:00–11:45 and 13:15–15:00). The kids never want to leave! ❤️
Hakodate Station
Hakodate Station's commercial zone was renovated in 2016 with the opening of the Hokkaido Shinkansen. On the first floor is the "Hokkaido Shikisaikan JR Hakodate Store" offering a variety of local specialties and products, while the second floor features restaurants and an observation deck called the "Rotunda Deck" where visitors can take pictures of trains arriving and departing on the platforms.
Hakodate Station has a place where you can store your luggage. It's pretty much the center of Hakodate city, and you can also catch the Hakodate bus or streetcar to get to different attractions!
