01 · Main sight
Sakurai Futamigaura · 櫻井二見ヶ浦
The one must-see. Walk down to the beach for the white torii standing in the sea with the sacred Meoto Iwa behind it.
HALF-DAY TRIP 03 · 糸島
Walk, eat and slow down by the sea.
A simple half-day around the Futamigaura coast — seafood, the white torii, a seaside market, tea, Palm Beach and an optional sunset finish at Ocean House.
Our Itoshima afternoon
Just follow the coast.
These are the places we actually want. Once we reach Futamigaura, the idea is simply to eat, wander along the beach and stop wherever we feel like lingering.
02 · Seafood lunch
Itoshima Kaisendo · 糸島海鮮堂 二見ヶ浦本店
Have our main meal here. The restaurant faces the Genkai Sea and specialises in seafood bowls made with fresh fish and seafood from the region.
03 · Café
Itoshima Sabo · 糸島茶房
A relaxed wooden seaside café for tea, pancakes or something savoury. If we are already full from seafood, this can simply be our slow coffee-and-dessert stop.
04 · Pop across the road
Zekkei MARKET · 絶景MARKET
This is the “unmanned sea-view shop” we were looking for. It sits opposite Itoshima Sabo and has local goods, snacks and a long window facing straight out to sea.
05 · Beach walk
Palm Beach The Gardens · パームビーチ
Keep following the Futamigaura coast to Palm Beach The Gardens at 285 Nishinoura, Nishi-ku. Walk down towards the beach for the Angel Wings photo spot, then browse the cafés and little shops around the complex.
How to go: by car, simply continue along Prefectural Route 54 from the Futamigaura area. By public transport, take the JR Chikuhi Line to Kyudai-Gakkentoshi or Imajuku, then the Showa Bus and get off at Futamigaura / PALM BEACH-mae; the complex is about a 1-minute walk from the stop.
06 · Final stop
Ocean House · オーシャンハウス
Finish the Itoshima day here on the way back towards Fukuoka. Ocean House sits at California BBQ Beach in Imajuku, with sea views from the dining room and a menu of seafood, pizza, grilled meats and café items. This is the stop to keep for sunset, dinner or simply one last drink by the water.
Where: 1119-1 Imajukuaoki, Nishi-ku, Fukuoka. It is on the Fukuoka side of the coast, so it works naturally as the final stop before returning to Yakuin.
The nice part
It becomes a seaside walk.
Futamigaura, the seafood restaurant, Itoshima Sabo, Zekkei MARKET and Palm Beach sit along the same coastal stretch. Ocean House is further back towards Imajuku, making it a natural final stop for sunset or dinner before returning to Yakuin.
Yakuin → Futamigaura coast → Ocean House → Yakuin
For the overall trip, driving is still easiest. Once we reach the coast, keep it simple: torii → seafood → café/market → Palm Beach → optional Ocean House sunset/dinner.
