Paradise in Fukuoka: A rejuvenating trip to Itoshima Peninsula

Just an hour's drive from Fukuoka City, the Itoshima Peninsula offers a tropical-like scenery where the sea, mountains, cafes, and art blend together to create a soothing atmosphere 🚗✨. With white sandy beaches, blue seas, photogenic cafes and swings, and stunning sunset spots, every corner is a picturesque view 📸. When I visited, the sea breeze was refreshing, allowing me to forget the hustle and bustle of daily life and truly relax. The "Sakurai Futamigaura" couple rocks and sunset were particularly moving 🌅. Enjoying a lunch made with local ingredients at a stylish cafe was also a highlight 🍴. Access is convenient, with a 30-minute ride from JR Chikuzen-Maebaru Station by rental car or bus. It's also a perfect area for a scenic drive 🚙. Pro tip: Visit on weekdays! Popular spots can get crowded on weekends, so if you want to enjoy a leisurely experience, weekdays are ideal. Additionally, if you're planning to watch the sunset, check out cafes along "Sunset Road" in advance to secure the best viewing spots 🌇.
