[2025 Itoshima Attraction] Travel Guide for Sakurai Futamigaura's Couple Stones (Updated Apr)

1. Don't just visit Tokyo when you come to Japan! I recently went on a trip to Fukuoka, a mystical place surrounded by blue seas and green forests. This trip was definitely as good as my trip to Osaka. 2. Transportation: There are direct flights from Shanghai to Fukuoka. From Beijing, you can take a flight to Fukuoka with a stopover in Dalian (CA953/CA954). After October 27, Air China will resume daily flights from Beijing Capital Airport to Dalian (stopover) to Fukuoka. Please refer to the airline's official website for specific flight information. 3. Travel Time: 2 days [2-Day Fukuoka Itinerary] D1: Itoshima (Keya-no-Oto Park, Meoto Iwa in Sakurai, lunch, coconut tree swing) → BOSS E·ZO FUKUOKA - Fukuoka Tower - Yatai Dinner D2: Horseback riding on the beach, Mojiko Retro, Miyajidake Shrine, Mount Sarakura 4. Exploring Itoshima: Keya-no-Oto Park, known as the "Totoro Forest," is like stepping into a fairy tale. The Meoto Iwa in Sakurai, with its white torii gate, is a romantic destination that has witnessed young love. Enjoy the sea breeze on your face as you swing from a coconut tree. All your worries will disappear with the wind. 5. BOSS E·ZO FUKUOKA & Fukuoka Tower: This super cool complex combines entertainment and fun. It features teamLab Forest, one of the top ten light shows in the world, a Sanrio theme park, AR games, and a rooftop swing roller coaster. It's incredibly fun! Afterward, head to Fukuoka Tower and overlook the entire city from the top. The dazzling city lights are as beautiful as the stars. 6. Yatai Dinner: Experience Fukuoka's Yatai culture in the evening. These food stalls offer the most authentic Kyushu flavors, from ramen to gyoza, each one mouthwatering. Here, you can not only enjoy delicious food but also immerse yourself in the local lifestyle and cultural atmosphere. 7. Horseback Riding on the Beach: Put on your riding gear and experience the unforgettable sensation of riding a horse along the beach as the waves crash against the shore. Miyajidake Shrine: This ancient shrine features the "Path of Light" leading straight to the sea. When the sun sets at the end of the path, it's a sacred and beautiful sight. The "Mirror Sea": When the tide recedes, the water becomes as calm as a mirror, reflecting the sky and surrounding scenery. It's as beautiful as a painting.

Sakurai Futami-Shoura no Meowoiwa More and more people know that it is about an hour's drive from downtown Fukuoka! It is one of the few suburban attractions that can be reached without driving. Transportation Guide 1. Take the shuttle bus bound for Meoiwa from Tenjin Sanchome Bus Stop No. 15 (in front of the Fukuoka Bank Building on Showa-dori) to get there directly. 🚌The fare is 1150 Yen (swipe back to see the bus name) The boarding point on Google Maps is also very accurate. If you really can’t find the bus stop, you can use Google to find it! 2. Take the subway Airport Line to Kyushu University Research City Station, and take the Showa Bus from the North Exit to reach Meotowa Rocks. On the return trip, you can get off at Qianqiu Station and clock in, but you have to wait one hour between each bus. So when we saw a taxi that day, we jumped in it directly 🚕 Flash travel time is equal to money, please keep it in mind. Next stop is to go to Kishi Fishing Port to eat grilled seafood🦞 Remember to search the internet for business hours first~ #GlobalTravel #PhotographyGuide #Wonder of Nature #ItoshimaGrume #Meeting Rock #SakuraiFutamiShoura #FukuokaFreeTravel

#100 Ways to Travel There are not many attractions in Fukuoka. Less than an hour from the city to the island is a completely different experience💯 Recommended! Note ⚠️ Be sure to check the weather before going ☀️ If the weather is bad, it is recommended to come again the next day to experience it will definitely be greatly discounted !! ️ I drive to you can refer to my route 🚏 The first stop couple rock arrived at about 9:09. There are not many people. You can take pictures slowly📸 After taking pictures walked through the beach cafe sunset in a small house for people to take pictures Island Seafood Hall 🦞 11:00 open if you want to sit the first round of the window seat to go a little earlier to queue I about 10:50 to lucky to sit at the last table window seat looking at this view really eat everything delicious and food quality is not bad 🍱 After eating, we went to ぶらんこ paradise There are several photo spots Random door Chiaki Sky Ladder Then go to the handmade flower salt pudding またいちの塩 Going to already have the original pudding 🍮 indeed very smooth and tasty not too sweet but the location is really biased to self-driving people to go well I also bookmark Forest Cafe Midori no Oto It's a forest cafe🌳 but I didn't go there that day. If you go to the island, you can arrange it so you can see the Haiga Forest in one day Going to Fukuoka in addition to walking around the city is definitely a good place to recommend 100 points #系岛 #couplesrock #系岛couplesrock #系岛Seafood堂 #handmade flower salt pudding またいちの盐 #ぶらんこ天堂

#JapanTravel 40 minutes from Hakata/Tenjin! Sakurai Futamigaura is famous for its quiet sea and underwater torii gates located in Itoshima City, Fukuoka Prefecture! The two rocks visible between the torii gates are called the Husband and Wife Rocks, and there is a theory that if a couple sees them, their relationship will improve. I wanted to soak my feet, so I went wearing flip-flops, and it was an excellent choice. There is also a resort-like Palm Beach right next door, so let's take a look around together! It was my first time in the small city of Itoshima, but I liked it so much that I thought I should make a whole day trip to Itoshima next time.

#FukuokaTourism #777 I traveled to Itoshima and the city! You need to rent a car to go to Itoshima, but the sea is beautiful and the food is delicious, so it's worth going! I recommend it! Fukuoka is famous for its night food stalls, and they were delicious as expected. I recommend the omelette and fried ramen made with mentaiko! I'd definitely like to eat them again. Hakata's tonkotsu ramen is also delicious, and the fried rice is also very good, so be sure to get the set! There were also many stylish cafes in Fukuoka. A sophisticated and attractive city.

When I went on a trip to Fukuoka, I went to Itoshima, a tourist spot in Fukuoka 🌴✨ Sakurai Shrine, a power spot famous for matchmaking, "Sakurai Futamigaura Meoto Iwa" ⛩️ It's a power spot with a white torii gate in the sea, so it's a must-see when you go to Itoshima 💙 After that, I went to a cafe 🎀 Itoshima is close to the sea, so you can see the sea and there are many modern cafes that look great 🎵 I ate crepes at Alpacino 🍨 It was delicious and the walls were cute, so it looked great ✨ There was also a terrace outside, so it was great to look at the sea 🌴 I want to try different cafes, so I want to come to Itoshima again‼ ️ 📍285-A4 Nishiura, Nishi-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture #FukuokaTourism#FukuokaTrip#HakataTrip#Itoshima#ItoshimaCafe#777

During my recent visit to Japan, I had the opportunity to visit Sakurai Shrine Futamigaura Torii, a picturesque Shinto shrine located in the city of Ise. The shrine is known for its distinctive torii gate, which stands in the water and is a popular spot for sunset viewing. I drove there (30 min drive from Fukuoka City) and arrived just in time to see the sun go down behind the shrine, casting a beautiful orange glow over the water. The shrine's "Couple Stones" are also a must-see attraction, as they are said to bring good luck to couples. If you're looking for a peaceful and romantic spot to watch the sunset, Sakurai Shrine Futamigaura Torii is definitely worth a visit. #beachlife#urbanexplorer#mytripvlog#tripblazers#awesomepic#本地遊

#FukuokaSightseeing ~Itoshima~ I tried cycling around Itoshima using a rental bicycle. I tried cycling along the rice paddy road and feeling the breeze along the sea. I could feel extraordinary while looking at the beautiful scenery. I also visited "Jihangun", a famous spot for taking great pictures on social media, and the "Meoto Iwa Rocks at Futamigaura in Sakurai", a power spot. Next time I'd like to go at sunset and take some mystical photos. Traveling by car is nice, but cycling is also fun because you can stop at various places. It was an electric bicycle, so it was very easy! ★Rental bicycle It was about 1000 yen for 4 hours #Itoshima #ItoshimaSightseeing #FukuokaTrip #Cycling #FukuokaTouristSightseeing #ItoshimaPhotogenicSpots #CoupleTrip #KyushuTrip

Sakurai Shrine's Uranomiya On the right is the male god Izanagi-no-Mikoto On the left is the female god Izanami-no-Mikoto It is said that this is the sacred rock where it is enshrined. On the summer solstice, the sun rises from the center of Futamigaura in Ise, and the sun sets at the center of Futamigaura at Sakurai Shrine. I'd like to go again on the summer solstice. ⁣ ⁣ #Futamigaura Meoto Iwa ⁣ 🗾 Shima Sakurai, Itoshima City, Fukuoka Prefecture 🅿️Free parking available⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #Fukuoka Prefecture⁣ #Itoshima⁣ #Sakurai ⁣ #Futamigaura⁣ #Itoshima Tourism ⁣ #Saki Itoshima ⁣ #saki #saki2211 #My Best Spot 2022 #Recharge at a Power Spot

#FukuokaSightseeing When the weather is nice, it's great to relax at a cafe near the sea❣️ If you visit the Itoshima area of ​​Fukuoka, one of the tourist spots you should stop by is the Meoto Iwa Rocks at Sakurai Futamigaura. This is a famous spot in Fukuoka Prefecture that can be reached in about 40 minutes by car from Hakata city.

I visited here after Golden Week. It was around noon, but the free parking lot was pretty full, and there were a lot of tourists. The beautiful pure white torii gate standing in the blue sea and the Meoto Iwa rocks standing behind it are amazing. The tide was just right, so we were able to walk under the torii gate, and everyone was enjoying taking photos. This time, we were given special permission to take photos with a drone. The view from the beach is also wonderful, but the view from the sea side is also impressive in a different way, and I was impressed. This is also a great spot for sunsets, so be sure to look around until the sun sets. Depending on the location, you can capture the perfect moment when the sun sets between the Meoto Iwa rocks. There seem to be quite a few photographers around at sunset. There happened to be few on this day, so I was able to freely change locations and take photos. This time, I took photos at low tide, so if I have the opportunity to visit again, I would like to take photos of the torii gate and Meoto Iwa rocks floating in the sea at high tide. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I visited after GW. It was around noon, but the free parking lot was quite full, and many tourists came. The beautiful white torii that stands in the blue sea and the Meotoiwa that stands behind it are wonderful. The tide was just right, so I was able to walk to the torii gate and everyone was enjoying taking pictures. This time, I took a picture with a drone with special permission. The view from the beach is wonderful, but the view from the sea side is also different and impressive. Also, this is a spectacular view point of the setting sun, so please take a look until the setting sun. Depending on the location, you can shoot the best moment when the sunset just sets between Meotoiwa. It seems that there are quite a few cameramen at sunset time. It happened that there weren't many on this day, so I took pictures while freely changing the location. This time it was taken at low tide, so if you have a chance to visit again next time I want to take a picture of the torii gate and Meoto Iwa floating in the sea at high tide. #Autumn trip #Halloween #Accommodation report #Great view #Gourmet

The Meoto Iwa rocks peeking out from the pure white torii gate are a spectacular spot! ✨ If you go to Itoshima, you can't miss visiting the Meoto Iwa rocks!!

The white torii gate towering over the sea is impressive. It might be even more atmospheric if you can take a photo with the splashes of the waves. On weekends, you may have to queue a bit to take photos, but there is a free parking lot nearby, so it's worth going. It's also recommended to stop by a cafe along Palm Beach on your way home. #Fukuoka #Itoshima #Futamigaura #Amazing view

Fukuoka Itoshima is a hidden paradise on the west coast of Kyushu, known for its pristine coastline, lush forests, and tranquil rural scenery. This place is far from the hustle and bustle of the city, filled with the breath of nature, making it perfect for those seeking a slow-paced and healing atmosphere. It's incredibly chill. The coastal scenery of Itoshima is mesmerizing, with Futamigaura being a must-visit spot. The Meoto Iwa (wedded rocks) and the pure white torii gate standing in the sea look even more dreamy at sunset. Driving along the coastline, you can discover hidden cafes and quaint shops, enjoying fresh seafood while admiring the sea view, which is truly delightful. The inland rural scenery is equally stunning, with vast rice fields, olive groves, and art studios exuding a rustic charm. Whether it's taking photos by the sea, walking in the forest, or simply relaxing, Itoshima allows you to fully immerse yourself in the embrace of nature.

🏖️Atmosphere: Blue sky and beautiful sea 📍Location: Itoshima, Fukuoka 💞Reasons why we recommend it: The sky and sea, a very beautiful atmosphere. The place where Fukuoka City and Itoshima City meet. You can enjoy the scenery and the restaurants 😌#domestictravel #asiatravel #fukuoka #fukuokatourism #fukuokatrip #fukuoka #japan

#springwander The scenic spots recognised as one of the "100 Best Nagisa in Japan" are marked by two rocks and couple rocks tied with ropes, and the pure white torii of Sakurai Shrine standing on the sandy beach. The time when the sun sets between the couple rocks is at its best, and the fantastic scene has been selected as one of the "100 best sunsets in Japan". In addition, in contrast to the calm high tide, it is also worth seeing the lumpy rocks that appear at low tide and change into a rough scenery.

Having visited the Meoto Iwa at Ise's Futamigaura, known as the Sunrise Futamigaura, I then went to Sakurai Futamigaura in Fukuoka, known as the Sunset Futamigaura. On the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, the sun rises between the Meoto Iwa at Ise and sets between the Meoto Iwa at Itoshima. This romantic connection made me decide to visit Itoshima. The white torii gate aligns with the Meoto Iwa, separated by 150 meters. Urban legend says this is the entrance to the Dragon Palace. The male rock is on the right, the female rock on the left, connected by a 30-meter-long, one-ton shimenawa rope. Legend has it that they are the incarnations of the male deity Izanagi and his wife Izanami. The waves crashing against the rocks symbolize facing life's challenges together in marriage. Visitors line up to take photos of the torii gate and Meoto Iwa together. Unlike Ise Futamigaura, Sakurai Futamigaura's Sakurai Shrine is 2.5 kilometers away, forming a straight line with the Meoto Iwa and the torii gate. Besides the Meoto Iwa, Itoshima is also known for its Palm Beach, beach swings, and cafes with beautiful sea views. However, be aware that bus intervals are long, so check the schedule in advance. 📍Address: 〒819-1304 Fukuoka Prefecture, Itoshima City, Shima Sakurai 🚗 From Hakata Bus Terminal, take the West Coast Line and get off at Futamigaura Meoto Iwa, or take the JR to Kyudai Gakken Toshi Station and transfer to the Nishinoura Line bus.

We will introduce you to the Meoto Iwa in Itoshima, a tourist attraction in Fukuoka♪ 《Sakurai Futamigaura Meoto Iwa》 💞Reasons why we recommend it: Two sacred rocks lined up like a married couple. Combined with the torii gate, it is beautiful✨ Itoshima is also stylish, with a car ride along the coast and wall art😉 If you go to Fukuoka, please stop by. 📍Location: Shimasakurai, Itoshima, Fukuoka 819-1304, Japan 🕰️Opening hours: 24 hours 💰Admission fee: Free *You cannot land on the rocks, so please view them from the shore #0 yen trip February 2025 #Fukuoka sightseeing #Fukuoka trip

#2月好地方2025 Beyond the white torii gate, you can see rocks arranged like a couple, named "Otogaiwa" and "Otogaiwa". They are called Married Couple Rocks because they are leaning against each other like a couple. It is said that visiting the Couple Rocks can bring a good marriage, so it attracts many couples and married couples 👩❤👨 to visit together. The sight of the Meotoiwa standing side by side and tied together with a large rope is considered a symbol of love and the perfection of a couple. This has always been an important tourist attraction in Japan's coastal areas and is also a famous love spot in Japan.
