Fukuoka Day Trip: Shiraito Falls, Meoto Iwa, and Totoro Forest

Description

Dear friends, get ready to start a wonderful journey! Please follow our guidance and depart from near Hakata Station in Fukuoka to start a surprising day trip to Itoshima! First stop: Shiraito Falls Take a special car to "Shiraito Falls", watch the water flow like silk, walk along the forest trail, breathe the full negative ions, and instantly feel refreshed! Second stop: Raizan Sennyo-ji Daihiouin Temple A thousand-year-old temple, where you can pray for peace or transcribe scriptures in a quiet Zen atmosphere (depending on opening conditions). Highlight: There is a huge ginkgo tree in the temple, which is absolutely beautiful in golden yellow in autumn! Third stop: Romantic Coconut Tree Swing The swing uses tall coconut trees as natural supports, with lush green coconut leaves spreading overhead, and the wind blows with a faint coconut fragrance. When you gently swing on the swing, your vision will slowly rise, and you can see the open scenery around you - perhaps the distant blue sky and sea, or the tropical green plants dotted nearby. The shaking seems to leave all the pressure behind. Fourth stop: Sakurai Futamigaura Couple Rock In the afternoon, check in at the romantic "Couple Rock" and the pure white torii gate, and wait for the sunset to dye the bay golden. Couples must lock their hearts together and make good wishes Fifth stop: Totoro Forest Trail Explore the "Totoro Forest Trail" of Keya Great Gate. The green secret realm seems to break into Hayao Miyazaki's fairy tale world! Check in at the cute Totoro statue and take healing photos Sixth stop: Fukuoka Tower & Seaside Park Climb to the top of Fukuoka Tower for a 360° panoramic view of the city and coastline. The night view is as bright as a starry sky, perfectly ending the day trip! During the cherry blossom season (usually from late March to early April, the specific time depends on the actual flowering situation), the itinerary will be adjusted to go to [Fukuoka Castle Ruins & Maizuru Park] to enjoy the cherry blossoms, and the original [Fukuoka Tower & Seaside Park] attractions will no longer be visited. Thank you for your understanding. Tips : Shiraito Falls and Totoro Forest Trail require walking. It is recommended to wear non-slip sneakers/hiking shoes, light trousers (to prevent mosquitoes) There is a lot of wind at Fukuoka Tower and the coast, so you can prepare a thin coat; pay attention to sun protection in summer (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), and wear warm clothes in winter Keep quiet when entering the temple, do not turn on the flash when taking pictures, and do not step on the lawn in the red leaf area
