2025 Fukutsu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

If you happen to visit Fukuoka in February or October, don't miss this natural gift from God. At Miyajidake Shrine in Fukutsu, the sun sets on the avenue that connects the shrine to the sea only at these two times of the year. The golden afterglow of the light channel is as charming as being in heaven. When the uncle visited, he had missed the most beautiful date and it was cloudy, but the shock of looking down from the shrine is still fresh in his memory. Miyajidake Shrine enshrines Empress Jingu, also known as Empress Jingu, and believers come here to pray for good fortune and prosperity. It is also one of the three major shrines in Fukuoka, as famous as Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. Here you can also find the largest Shimenawa in Japan, with a diameter of 2.6 meters and a length of 11 meters. It was made by thousands of believers working together. 📍Address: 〒811-3309 7-1 Miyajimoto-machi, Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture #Good Places to Go in January 2025

#December Travel Support Event Miyajihama, a small city near Fukuoka where you can really feel the Japanese sensibility🇯🇵 It's a small city that can be reached in an hour from Fukuoka. In fact, there's so much information about traveling to Japan that I didn't want to go to places that many people go to. Then I discovered the town of Miyajihama! It's a small city that I recommend as a day trip to those who have been to Japan many times because it's a place where you can see the sunset of your life😍 In particular, Miyajihama Beach and Miyajidake Shrine are must-see courses! You can get there by taking a train for about an hour from Fukuoka Hakata Station. ✔️Miyajidake Shrine is crowded with people at sunset, so if you want to see a beautiful sunset, I recommend going a little before sunset and finding a spot. 📍Miyajihama 宮司浜 / Miyajihama Beach / Miyajidake Shrine 宮地嶽神社 #Fukuoka #FukuokaTravel #Japan #JapanTravel #PlacesToVisitInJapan #JapanTravelRecommendations #PlacesToVisitInFukuoka #MiyajidakeShrine #JapaneseSmallCityTravel

A person who loves Fukuoka!! Even though I traveled for a short 1 night 2 days~2 nights 3 days This is my first time here!! If you climb up to Miyajidake Shrine and look at the cool breeze and the clear sea in the distance~ It's such a healing place! If you want to go somewhere new, not too far from Fukuoka, I recommend it :) The recommended route is to see the shrine and come down, and walk for about 25 minutes to Miyajihama Beach, which is shown in the photo. I recommend walking down, seeing the sea, and going back! The torai in front of the sea is really photogenic😉

Introducing Udonya Sumika, located right next to the station in Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture.♡ I visited this restaurant in the summer, so I had their summer-only kabosu grated udon 😋 The refreshing aroma of kabosu and the light soup mixed with the chewy udon made it very smooth and delicious 🥹 The udon was light, so I also ordered two pieces of fried chicken and a chicken rice ball from the lunch set 🩷 The fried chicken went well with beer, and was a perfect match with the light udon! This shop is written as a udon restaurant, but it also serves drinks during the day and has a wide variety of alcoholic drinks, so it can also be used as an izakaya 🏮🍺 After using it as an izakaya, you can also have udon as a final dish 🤭 If you are interested, please go and check it out ♩ 📍 Udon-ya Sumika ⇒Address Grand Depot C 1, 2-6 Chuo 3-chome, Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture ⇒Opening hours 11:00-14:00 18:00-24:00 #FukuokaTrip#Fukuoka#KyushuGourmet#GourmetTrip#CoupleTrip#GirlsTrip#trip2023#Udon#FukutsuCity #FukuokaTourism

It was my first time visiting for cherry blossom viewing, but the weather was good, the flowers were in full bloom, and it was spring break, so there were a lot of people there. It seems to be well-maintained, so I was able to stroll around comfortably! I went from the Wakakidai Danchi side, which was easy to find. It was a great feeling of freedom even though we are in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic♪ #AutumnTrip #Halloween #AccommodationReview #AmazingView

#WesternJapan Miyajidake Shrine in Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture ⛩ I went there for the Iris Festival. The irises were in full bloom in the shrine grounds, and the iris garden was magnificent. The owls are always soothing. Japan's largest shimenawa rope is always big! This is my favorite shrine, and I'm always soothed by the seasonal flowers.

#WesternJapan Miyajidake Shrine in Fukutsu, Fukuoka It's famous for the 'Light Road' in the Arashi commercial, but there are many other things to see. The large bells, shimenawa ropes, and taiko drums are the largest in Japan It's wonderful to tour the inner sanctuary and see the animals at the Miya Zoo. The flower water fountain is also cool and soothing✨✨

#QuintessaCampaign ⁣ ⛰On my mountain⁣ I'd like to go there someday when I visit #MiyajidakeShrine⁣ I've never tried mountain climbing before, so I gave up⁣ But then someone told me that it's not that far from #KotohiraShrine⁣ so I decided to go👣⁣ ⁣ If you're going leisurely, it's about 20-30 minutes from KotohiraShrine⛩ #TotoroForest It was a very steep road💦⁣ ⁣ A maintenance person near the inner shrine of Kotohira Shrine⁣ This is where I went down the stairs, but he called out to me that it was hazy today...⁣ This view spreads out before my eyes☀️⁣ There was no one there, so I had the view all to myself✨✨⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #InMyMountain⁣ 🗾InFukutsuCityFukuokaPrefecture⁣⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #FukuokaPrefecture#LowMountain#FukuokaPrefectureLowMountain#MountainClimbing#GreatView

Miyajidake Shrine, where you can worship the "Road of Light" that became famous in a certain commercial, is the head shrine of Miyajidake Shrines nationwide. The chance to worship the "Road of Light" is only available for a few days in February and October. Because so many people visit, it has become a rare and spectacular view that can only be seen by getting a numbered ticket or receiving a prayer. Since the deity enshrined is a goddess, you can also enjoy various flowers throughout the four seasons at Miyajidake Shrine. I think it is one of the most representative shrines in Kyushu, visited by 2.2 million people a year as the god of good fortune and prosperity in business. 25 minutes on foot or 5 minutes by taxi from JR Fukuma Station Information as of June 2022. #Breathtaking view #Historical historic site #Fukuoka Prefecture #Shrine and temple tour #Fukuoka #Quintessa campaign

Miyajidake Shrine is a shrine located in Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture. It is known for the sun setting twice a year on the extension of the approach called "Road of Light" that stretches straight from the stone steps in the shrine grounds to the Genkai Sea. It is the head shrine of Miyajidake Shrines throughout the country, and more than 2.2 million worshippers visit it every year, with more than 1 million people visiting during the first three days of the New Year. It is known as a shrine for bringing good luck and prosperity in business. It also has three Japan No. 1s. First Japan No. 1 Large Shimenawa Second Japan No. 2 Large Taiko Third Japan No. 3 Large Bell I think it is a place that everyone should visit at least once in their life. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see the "Road of Light" when I visited. But I did see the monkey performance, so it was fun. Access: Get off at JR Fukuma Station, take a bus (taxi) from the station for about 5 minutes, then walk for about 25 minutes (about 2km) Nishitetsu Bus: Get off at Jinja-mae #trip2022 #Breathtaking view

Location: Nishifukuma 4-chome, Fukutsu City I went to Fukuma Beach, known as the "Shonan of Kyushu." The "Kagami no Umi" (Mirror Sea), where the wet sand and tide pools reflect the sky, is a photogenic spot. To take a photo of Kagami no Umi, low tide, clear skies, and calm winds are necessary.

Address: 7-1 Miyajimotomachi, Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture Access: Get off at JR Fukuma Station, take a bus (taxi) from the station for about 5 minutes, then walk for about 25 minutes (about 2km) Miyajidake Shrine, whose name suddenly became known nationwide due to the JAL commercial featuring Arashi, is a miraculous sight that can only be seen twice a year, in February and October, called the "Road of Light." #trip2022#spectacularview #Fukuoka

Located in Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, this beach is also known as the "Shonan of Kyushu." There are many cafes, restaurants, and marine sports shops along the coast, making it a particularly popular spot in the summer. Miyajihama Beach, next to Fukuma Beach, has recently been talked about as being similar to the famous Uyuni Salt Flats, making it a great photo spot on a sunny day. Unfortunately, it was cloudy when I went, so I couldn't get the reflection photo I had in mind, but it still turned out to be a great photo. Nearby is Miyajigoku Shrine, which is familiar from Arashi's JAL commercial "Path of Light," so be sure to visit both places together. #Fukuoka #SeasideScenery #SummerShortTrip #JapanGenkiProject #CoupleTrip #FukumaBeach #MirrorSea #UyuniSaltFlats #SummerShortTrip

We stayed at the glamping facility "Glamping Fukuoka Budo no Ki" in Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, about 40 minutes by car from Fukuoka City♪ This time, we stayed at a luxurious on-the-beach accommodation with the world's first floating aerial tent! This time, we stayed in an extremely luxurious cottage. The ocean view of Fukuma Coast from each facility is spectacular✨ Glamping is a combination of "glamorous" and "camping". It is a new resort style that allows you to enjoy the outdoors in luxury. We enjoyed the ocean view, alcohol, and BBQ to our heart's content in an elegant environment♪ #Seaside view #Spectacular view #Camping #Fukuoka #Spectacular view

One-Day Itinerary: A day trip around Fukuoka, from Hakata Station to Miyajidake Shrine, with a detour to Fukuma Beach before returning. On my second trip to Kyushu, I still found Fukuoka's hustle and bustle a bit overwhelming, but I unexpectedly discovered a hidden gem for a one-day trip around the area. A solid 4-star experience! 1. From Hakata Station to Fukuma Station: P13. Head to the JR platform at Hakata Station and take the Kagoshima Main Line. It’s a 30-minute ride to Fukuma Station, and the JR Pass is valid! 2. From Fukuma Station to Miyajidake Shrine: There’s a bus right at the bottom of the station escalator, or you can take a taxi. The bus ride takes about 10 minutes and runs once an hour. Grab a boarding ticket when you get on and pay when you get off. The road is very sunny with no shade, so walking (about 30 minutes) is not recommended. 3. Exploring the Shrine: From the shrine’s hilltop, you can see a straight road leading to the azure coastline, offering an incredible view. Inside the shrine, you can draw fortunes and buy souvenirs. The back hill features a small version of Kyoto’s Fushimi Inari Shrine’s famous thousand torii gates ⛩️. 4. Returning to Fukuma Station: There’s no bus from the restaurant area back to the station, so you’ll need to call a taxi. We strolled back to the station in about 30 minutes, but walking in the summer heat is not recommended—it’s scorching! 🔥 Summary: Overall, if you have a day to spare after shopping in Fukuoka, I highly recommend visiting this spot. Personally, I think it’s more worthwhile than some of the city’s attractions. It was the perfect way to wrap up my second trip to Kyushu. I’d give it 4 stars 🌟, on par with Sakurajima!

#cherryblossom25 Perched on a hill in Fukutsu City, this 1,400-year-old shrine is famed for its "Miracle Sunset" phenomenon (where the sun aligns perfectly with its tunnel-like approach twice a year)—but in spring, its 300+ cherry trees create an equally magical pink corridor leading to the sea. 🌸 Why It’s Unique ✔ Tunnel of Light & Petals– The 200m approach transforms into a blossom-covered path mirroring the shrine’s famous sunbeams ✔ Ocean Views – From the main hall, see sakura framing the Genkai Sea ✔ Rare Varieties – Includes the "Miyajidake Weeping Cherry", a local hybrid with extra-long branches

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Miyajidake Shrine Miyajidake Shrine Shinto Shrine Miyajidake Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in Fukutsu, Fukuoka. It has a history dating back 1,700 years. This Shinto shrine was built to honor Empress Jingu, the legendary empress of Japan.

We could choose between oil or cream, so of course we chose oil!

The tomatoes were also delicious 🍅 There were also a lot of dressings and rock salt to choose from, and we were very satisfied 🥰 There is a sauna on the second floor, and it is also recommended as a sauna meal ✨ Thank you for the meal #FukuokaLunch #FukutsuLunch #FukumaBeach #FukuokaCafe #FukutsuCafe #SeasideCafe #Spring0YenTrip

Embarking on a solo journey to Fukuoka, I found myself amidst the most enchanting spring at Omori Shrine. At dawn, the first rays of sunlight bathed the ancient architecture of Omori Shrine, casting a golden glow over its historical contours. As the sun climbed higher, its light intertwined with the cherry blossoms, illuminating the petals to near transparency and painting a dappled masterpiece on the ground. Here, there was no bustling crowd—just me, the endless cherry blossoms, and the vibrant morning sun. I wandered through the scene, capturing every falling petal with my camera and savoring the gentle caress of the spring breeze. In the distance, the traditional palace surrounded by flowering trees resembled a timeless oil painting, with its red tiles and wooden walls perfectly complementing the pink and white cherry blossoms. The essence of solo travel might lie in moments like these—exchanging secrets with spring in a world of my own, participating in a private opening ceremony of the season. I cherished every moment of tranquility, free from the need to match anyone else's pace, following only the direction of my heart. At Omori Shrine in Fukuoka, I embraced the purest spring and rediscovered my liberated self. Every falling petal and every warm ray of sunlight became an unforgettable memory of this journey.

At the break of dawn, we step into the Miyajidake Shrine in Fukuoka. The ancient trees create a dense forest, and the birds' chirping blends with the murmuring streams to form a haunting melody. The vermilion torii gate leads the way, and the stone steps are covered with moss. Along the path, the 'Hell Tour' inscriptions narrate eerie legends. The spring water in the pool is iron-blue like ink, and the air is filled with the scent of sulfur, making it feel like we are at the boundary between the divine and the underworld. In the afternoon, we head to the serene Nanzoin Temple in Kido. The ancient temple is as picturesque as a painting. The golden pavilion with its green tiles contrasts beautifully with the surrounding trees. The sound of the temple bell resonates, and the monks chant sutras softly amidst the swirling incense smoke, leading the heart into a state of tranquility. The dry landscape garden is full of Zen charm, with each sand and stone embodying Zen principles. In one day, we experience the solemnity of the mystical and the tranquility of the serene, making the trip to Fukuoka not just a sightseeing journey, but a pilgrimage for the soul.

For this light, I flew 2000 kilometers ✈️ I heard that anyone who sees it will be lucky for the whole year‼ ️ Finally, I saw with my own eyes the 1,600-year-old miracle of Miyajidake Shrine, the "Path of Light" that is said to appear only twice a year. 🌅During the "Sunset Festival" in February and October every year, when the setting sun penetrates the 800-meter shrine road and reaches the sea, the setting sun will fall right at the end of the shrine road. The sunset glows all over the sky and dyes the entire sea into an orange sea🍊. It seems that the gods have paved a golden road on earth. Everyone who sees it will be moved to tears on the spot~ 🌸 Be sure to code in February! ! There are awesome Easter eggs 🎊. As the golden light of the approach to the shrine falls straight to the coastline, the early cherry blossoms in the side hall of the shrine also quietly bloom synchronously, with clusters of light pink dotted between the ancient trees and the red eaves. Before you know it, you have come to a niche and super beautiful cherry blossom viewing spot! Of course, the main shrine of Miyajidake Shrine is also worth a visit. It houses the largest Shimenawa rope in Japan, which weighs 3 tons, is 11 meters long and 2.6 meters in diameter. It is said to have been made by 1,500 people. 🌊The end of the Light Path is the sea. If you have enough time, you can go to the beach in the afternoon. After watching the sea, walk to the "Miyajidake Shrine" for about 15-20 minutes. On the way, you will pass by a white house. It is really comfortable to have a cup of coffee, eat an ice cream and take a break there. If you happen to come to Kyushu in February, don’t miss the wonderful moment of this seasonal limited edition [Light + Sakura]~ ⛩️ Miyajidake Shrine 🚆 Depart from Fukuoka Hakata Station, take the JR to Fukuma Station and transfer to the bus (about 50 minutes) #FukuokaTravel #Path of Light #JapaneseShrine #SpringCherryBlossomViewing #FukuokaItinerary

#FukuokaItinerary The thousand-year-old Miyajigoku Shrine⛩️ overlooks the Fukuma Coast The two are connected by an ancient east-west approach In February and October every year which means the spring equinox☘️and the autumn equinox🍁 The sunset🌇will slowly spread from the coast to every brick and stone of the approach This forms the famous Fukuoka scenery ——The Road of Light Miyajidake Shrine itself has a history of more than a thousand years. Its approach is designed to extend to the seaside. Due to its special location, at sunset in February and October every year, the sunset will form a golden light belt with the approach, which is called the "Road of Light". In 2016, Japan Airlines (JAL) invited the popular group "Arashi" to shoot the commercial "The Path of Light" here, making this landscape quickly become a popular check-in spot and attracting a large number of overseas tourists. At certain times of the year, the perfect alignment of the shrine approach and the setting sun occurs naturally. The shrine holds a "Sunset Festival" for this purpose and optimizes the viewing experience by restricting the access area to the shrine. The Sunset Festival at Miyajidake Shrine is held over a period of about 10 days between mid-February and mid-October every year. If you plan to visit, it is recommended to pay attention to the shrine's official website or tourist information in advance to arrange your itinerary. Or in advance 💬Little Snail🙋 #The scenery I saw this year

Miyajidake Shrine is located in Fukuoka City. It is a popular shrine for people who come to watch the sunset because the sun sets over the sea right in front of the shrine entrance. But for us, just to see the giant Shimenawa rope, or straw rope that we saw hanging in front of the shrine, was worth it. Travel in late January to early February. Plum blossoms will also bloom inside the temple. #staycation #miyajidakeshrine #fukuoka #shrine
