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

#FukuokaSakura The private cherry blossom viewing spot in Fukuoka Prefecture - Hokkehara Flower Gardens of Myoho-ji Temple is located in Ukiha City, Fukuoka Prefecture, not far from JR Chikugo Yoshii Station. From Hakata Station, you need to first take the bus to Kurume Station, then transfer to Chikugoyoshi Station and walk or take the bus to the place. The most famous attraction in Hokkehara Gardens is the 10-meter-tall, 60-year-old Minobu weeping cherry tree, which blooms in mid-March. The cherry blossoms are like a waterfall, and it is a charming sight to admire them under a red umbrella, whether it is day or night. During the day, the spring scenery of yellow rapeseed flowers, pink cherry blossoms, and blue sky is very pleasing to the eye; once night falls, the lights are turned on and a completely different scene is presented. The swaying romantic night cherry blossoms make people feel as if they are in a dream. #Fukuoka #Hokkehara Flower Garden

"Ukiha Inari Shrine" Today, we will introduce Ukiha Inari Shrine in Fukuoka Prefecture⛩️ This shrine enshrines the gods of prosperity in business, bountiful harvests, sake brewing and health, longevity, and learning, and enshrines the three gods: Inatama-no-kami (also known as Inari Okami) from Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, Oyamakui-no-kami from Matsuo Taisha Shrine in Kyoto, and Sugawara no Michizane from Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. Since this place is located on the mountain side, if you go through 92 torii gates and climb up, the view from the top is great and refreshing, and if the weather is good, you can see Haratsuru Onsen and Amagi, so it's recommended 🥰 ☽︎︎.*·̩͙☽︎︎.*·̩͙*·̩͙☽︎︎.*·̩͙☽︎︎.*·̩͙☽︎︎.*·̩͙☽︎︎ⓘⓝⓕⓞ☽︎︎.*·̩͙☽︎︎.*·̩͙☽︎︎.*·̩͙☽︎︎.*·̩͙☽︎︎.*·̩͙ ⛩️Ukiha Inari Shrine 📌1513-9 Nagarekawa, Ukiha-cho, Ukiha-shi, Fukuoka 🚗About 15 minutes from the Kyushu Expressway "Hagi IC" 🚃About 20 minutes on foot from JR Kyudai Main Line "Ukiha Station" 𖥧 𖥧 𖧧 ˒˒𖡼.𖤣𖥧 ⠜ 𖥧 𖥧 𖧧˒˒. ⓣⓗⓐⓝⓚ ⓨⓞⓤ 𖥧 𖥧 𖧧 #Fukuoka Tourism #Ukiha Inari Shrine #Shrine #tripDomestic Travel

#tokyo #Shrine #attraction #toriigate Everyone is aware of these red torii gates, it's a special iconic design here in Ukiha Inari Shrine located at 1513-9 Ukihanmachi Nagrekawa, Ukiha in Japan where the only way to access this Shrine via walking is via a long steps through this torii gates. This may not be one of the many popular place with people therefore making this a photogenic spot on top of a hill down to the valley, but if you are someone who doesn't really like to climb you are also able to drive up by car. Most people come to this Shrine to hope and pray for a prosperous business, good health, and scholarship.

This hot spring inn is really an enjoyment that can not be experienced in Hong Kong😎 First of all, this package includes breakfast and dinner. I believe you must be full enough if you eat a lot! The quality of the food is not to mention, the food has river pork, which is special enough! Returned with a full load!

#WesternJapan I went to see the Minobu Weeping Cherry Blossoms in Ukiha, Fukuoka Prefecture, at night. As I got out of the car and walked from the parking lot, I was blown away by the spectacular illuminated cherry blossoms. They had just finished blooming, but the flurry of falling cherry blossoms was spectacular! Next time I'd like to go during the day.

[Ukiha City, Fukuoka Prefecture] Ukiha City is famous for its fruits, but it is also famous for its delicious rice, due to the clean water. Tsuzura Rice Terraces, selected as one of the 100 Best Rice Terraces in Japan by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, is a spectacular sight with 400-year-old stonework that still remains. The area is a whopping 7 hectares, and there are 300 rice paddies. Every September, about 500,000 red spider lilies bloom, so you might want to visit them instead of the rice terraces! Next time, I would like to visit during the red spider lilies season in September. #Fukuoka #Ukiha #Rice Terraces #SupportTourism#SpectacularScenery

[Ukiha Inari Shrine | Photogenic spot x Power spot] — A rapidly growing popularity on Instagram! A view of rows of vermilion torii gates — Ukiha Inari Shrine is a small shrine on the side of a mountain, but... The tunnel of vermilion torii gates on the way there is very mysterious! It's like a mini version of Kyoto's Fushimi Inari, with rows of torii gates lined up along the stairs, and the spectacular view of the townscape at the foot of the mountain is also a highlight♪ - There are about 90 torii gates - The main hall at the top of the stairs is also simple and heartwarming - When the weather is good, you can see all the way to Kurume and Amagi! ⸻ [Ukiha's White-walled Street | A retro and relaxing street] — A street full of atmosphere with buildings from the Edo and Meiji periods — About 10 minutes by car from Ukiha Inari Shrine.

This time, I went to visit Shiseido's factory in Ukiha, which is about an hour and a half by car from Fukuoka city on public roads! Shiseido factory tours are only held at three factories in the country! One of them is in Fukuoka! I think it's worth visiting when you're traveling to Fukuoka! The tour contents are -Explanation of the factory using project mapping -Inspection experience -Factory tour -Workshop (contents change depending on the month) The tour is divided into two parts per day, from 9:30 and 13:30, and each part is 120 minutes long! There is a lot to see, so the two hours go by in a flash ⚠️Factory tours are only available on weekdays! Reservations are required, and it is very popular, so reservations must be made 1-2 months in advance! The number of people is limited to 20 people per tour, so you can enjoy the factory tour at your own pace! The staff are very kind and take lots of photos! There are also several water servers in the building, which is a great touch! The age range of participants was from 20s to 60s, and there were also people with children, so it's a facility that can be enjoyed by a wide range of ages! At the end, we even received a souvenir, so it was a very satisfying experience 🫶 #FukuokaStrategy #GirlsTrip #FukuokaTrip #FukuokaTourism #Beauty

#cherryblossom25 The Majestic 10-Meter-Tall Weeping Cherry Trees of Minobu The Hokkebaru Flower Garden in Ukiha City is home to three magnificent weeping cherry trees, called the Weeping Cherry Trees of Minobu, which reach full bloom in mid-March. Standing roughly 10 meters tall and estimated to be around 60 years old, these trees were once hidden beneath overgrown thickets. Thanks to the efforts of locals, the area was cleared and has become a scenic hotspot. During the day, the garden flaunts a vibrant spring palette of yellow canola flowers, light pink cherry blossoms, and clear blue skies. As night falls, the illuminated cherry blossoms sway gracefully in the dark, creating an enchanting atmosphere.

Ukiha Inari Shrine has a beautiful approach lined with red torii gates⛩️✨ It offers a spectacular view that is just like Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto! Especially during the autumn foliage season, the contrast between the colored trees and the torii gates is amazing🍁 It is also a very popular spot for taking photogenic pictures📸💕 [Opening hours] Open 24 hours [Access] About 10 minutes by car from JR Kyudai Main Line "Ukiha Station" #Ukiha Inari Shrine #Torii Tunnel #Kurume Tourism #Photo Spot #Amazing Autumn Foliage
