[2025 Goto Attraction] Travel Guide for Ousesaki Lighthouse Observation Point (Updated Oct)

The Goto Islands are made up of 129 islands, large and small. They're divided into two areas: Kamigoto in the north and Shimogoto in the south. This time, I visited Shimogoto for a two-day, one-night trip, focusing on Fukue Island. ✨ I flew from Haneda on Friday night and stayed the night before in Fukuoka. This allowed me to arrive on Fukue Island just after 9am! However, we recommend staying in Goto for at least two nights. 🥹 𓇠𓇠𓇠𓇠𓇠𓇠𓇠𓇠𓇠𓇠𓇠 Part of the travel expenses ◾️Transportation to Goto Airfare (Fukuoka to Fukue) ¥12,910 Jetfoil (Fukue to Nagasaki) ¥8,510 ◾️Transportation within the island Rental car (2 days) ¥13,600 Seagull (Fukue ↔ Kuga Island) ¥1,580 Kuga Island taxi ¥9,000 (just under) ◾️Accommodation Bed and breakfast (1 night, 2 meals included) ¥7,500 + accommodation tax ◾️Other Dozaki Church Museum ¥300 Lunch, etc. Since we were traveling as a couple, rental cars and taxis were half the price above♪ 𓇠𓇠𓇠𓇠𓇠𓇠𓇠𓇠𓇠𓇠𓇠 💡Information for late July 2025 By the way...

When visiting Fukue Island in the Goto Islands, having a car is essential. For this reason, I joined a bus tour to explore the area. One of the most remarkable spots was the Osezaki Lighthouse, which is famous for being featured in the climax scene of the movie "Villain." It takes nearly an hour to reach from the central area, making it quite far. The lighthouse is perched dramatically on the edge of the sea, so if you plan to go directly beneath it, you should be prepared for a challenging trek. I chose to take photos from a vantage point where I could see the entire view. The contrast between the "white lighthouse," the "sky blue," and the surrounding greenery was absolutely stunning. Additionally, my visit to the Osezaki Lighthouse was even more moving because I had seen a painting of its magnificent scenery the day before at the "Nizo Yamamoto Art Museum." Nizo Yamamoto is an artist who has worked on numerous background artworks for Studio Ghibli films. If you've seen Ghibli movies, you're likely familiar with the beauty of their backgrounds. This art museum, which showcases Yamamoto's works, is located on Fukue Island, his hometown in the Goto Islands. The Goto Islands also have a rich history of Christian faith. I visited churches like the Imochiura Church, and I was deeply impressed by the blend of abundant nature and profound culture. The Goto Islands are truly an amazing destination!
