There's an area here that's set up as a seaside park. It's a great spot for Fukuoka locals to relax and unwind on weekends.

Tokiwado Kaminari-okoshi Honpo
Tokiwado Kaminari-okoshi Honpo Kaminarimon Main Store sits tall on two centuries of renown as an “okoshi” confectionery shop from its spot just steps from Asakusa's iconic Kaminarimon Gate. Okoshi is a traditional Japanese sweet made by binding roasted rice, millet, or other grains with a sweet syrup (such as sugar or malt syrup). It is well-loved for its crispy texture, pleasant aroma, and subtle sweetness. Kaminari-okoshi, the shop’s signature product, combines puffed rice with ingredients like peanuts.
This long-established rice cracker shop is fantastic! The snacks are crispy and flavorful without being too sweet. There are lots of flavors to choose from, and you can even try samples. Perfect as a souvenir or just for snacking yourself.

“Fun on the Raft” in Naruto
The Uchinoumi seawaters are located in the northeast area of Naruto in Tokushima Prefecture. Hugged between Shimada and Oge Islands, the calm waters were once a popular locale for pearl farmers. Today, these rafting rigs can be used as a special place to enjoy fishing and BBQing above the sea.
Such a unique experience! Sitting on a wooden raft out on the sea, fishing and enjoying the ocean view—it's super relaxing and fun. You really get to take in Naruto's natural beauty up close. Highly recommend giving it a try!

Miho Shrine
First recorded in the Izumo no Kuni Fudoki compiled in 733, Miho Shrine is a venerable site of worship. It enshrines two deities: Mihotsuhime-no-Mikoto, the goddess of bountiful harvests and safe childbirth, and Kotoshironushi-no-Kami-widely revered as “Ebisu,” the deity of safe voyages and prosperous business. As the head shrine of all Ebisu shrines in Japan, Miho Shrine has long been a center of faith.
The shrine feels really peaceful, with a solemn yet comfortable atmosphere. Visiting here feels especially lucky. It's super popular for people praying for good fortune or success in fishing! The shrine's architecture is also unique, with a classic, old-fashioned beauty. Walking along the approach path is calming. You can also check out the harbor views nearby. Overall, it's a relaxing spot that's perfect for a leisurely visit.
