Itoshima Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

Romantic Sakurai Sunset, perfect for couples!

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

Such a meaningful place in Fukuoka

One of Fukuoka's most picturesque sites is Sakurai Futamigaura Couple Rock. It is the ideal location to capture a priceless photo. These two rocks joined by rope symbolizes the marriage, and there is a Torii gate. #tripmoments #japan #fukuoka #scenery #view #tripblazers

Discover the Serene Beauty of Itoshima and the Meoto Iwa in Japan

📍Futamigaura Meoto Iwa Address: Shimasakurai, Itoshima, Fukuoka 819-1304, Japan If you visit Itoshima, you must stop by the Futamigaura Meoto Iwa. When I visited, there weren't many people, and most of them were Japanese. It seems to be a famous beautiful spot even among the Japanese. The sea's color was stunning, and I felt great in the peaceful countryside atmosphere. I highly recommend the beautiful sea of Itoshima, a bit away from Fukuoka.

Amazing beach with great food

#beachlife #Fukuoka This is the Sakurai Shrine Futamigaura Torii situated in Itoshima, Fukuoka prefecture, Kyushu region. It will be easier to drive and it takes around half and hour from the city centre. Alternatively, there is the Showa West Coast liner bus from Hakata bus terminal and it takes around 1.5 hrs to reach Futamigaura (Meotoiwamae) station and it costs around 1300 yen one way. The two giant rocks joined by a shimenawa rope—straw rope used at many Shinto shrines indicating a divide between the sacred and the secular—earn the gasps and coos of admiration by visitors on sandy beaches. The rocks are a symbol of happy marriage. It is really amazing and interesting to know such background stories of these landmarks.
