Himeshima, Fukuoka 姫島
Jun 22nd
A 16 minute ferry ride off the coast of Itoshima gets you to a little fishing village on Himeshima (Hime Island).
Here are some pictures from my visit.

A nice little climbing wall to practice on.

Practice a little Tennis.
This is only one little corner of a really big sports park. It’s located near Fukuoka airport and is best accessed by car. There are a good amount of free parking spots but it can fill up on nice days.

Shikaka Beach
Shikaka Beach is ideal for those that don’t have a car or a friend with a car, but want to find a nice quiet beach with clean water. It is not a surfing beach, although there is a surfable beach further down at a car rest stop if you don’t mind a long walk. Shikaka Beach is probably not the real name of the beach I am referring to in this post but it’s the name that was given by many English Teachers due to it’s proximity to Shikaka Station.

Momochihama Beach
Momochi Beach is one of the best places to go in Fukuoka, especially in the spring and summer. It’s a little oasis of paradise in the middle of the big city. It’s walking distance from the subway if you are in shape or don’t mind getting a little exercise. Another option is to take a bus. There are buses that will take you a lot closer. I would say any bus that gets you near the Fukuoka Dome (Yahoo! Dome), Fukuoka Tower, or the Sea Hawk Hotel will work. Perhaps the best way to get anywhere in Japan is by bicycle so that is my best advice, it’s a nice ride from just about anywhere in central Fukuoka.
