If you happen to visit Fukuoka in February or October, don't miss this natural gift from God. At Miyajidake Shrine in Fukutsu, the sun sets on the avenue that connects the shrine to the sea only at these two times of the year. The golden afterglow of the light channel is as charming as being in heaven. When the uncle visited, he had missed the most beautiful date and it was cloudy, but the shock of looking down from the shrine is still fresh in his memory. Miyajidake Shrine enshrines Empress Jingu, also known as Empress Jingu, and believers come here to pray for good fortune and prosperity. It is also one of the three major shrines in Fukuoka, as famous as Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. Here you can also find the largest Shimenawa in Japan, with a diameter of 2.6 meters and a length of 11 meters. It was made by thousands of believers working together. 📍Address: 〒811-3309 7-1 Miyajimoto-machi, Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture #Good Places to Go in January 2025

#December Travel Support Event Miyajihama, a small city near Fukuoka where you can really feel the Japanese sensibility🇯🇵 It's a small city that can be reached in an hour from Fukuoka. In fact, there's so much information about traveling to Japan that I didn't want to go to places that many people go to. Then I discovered the town of Miyajihama! It's a small city that I recommend as a day trip to those who have been to Japan many times because it's a place where you can see the sunset of your life😍 In particular, Miyajihama Beach and Miyajidake Shrine are must-see courses! You can get there by taking a train for about an hour from Fukuoka Hakata Station. ✔️Miyajidake Shrine is crowded with people at sunset, so if you want to see a beautiful sunset, I recommend going a little before sunset and finding a spot. 📍Miyajihama 宮司浜 / Miyajihama Beach / Miyajidake Shrine 宮地嶽神社 #Fukuoka #FukuokaTravel #Japan #JapanTravel #PlacesToVisitInJapan #JapanTravelRecommendations #PlacesToVisitInFukuoka #MiyajidakeShrine #JapaneseSmallCityTravel

For those who love Fukuoka!! Even on a short trip of 1-2 nights or 2-3 days, this was my first time visiting this place!! Climbing up to Miyajidake Shrine, feeling the cool breeze and gazing at the refreshing sea in the distance~ it's such a healing place! It's only an hour away from Fukuoka, so if you want to explore a new place, I highly recommend it :) The recommended route is to visit the shrine and then walk down to Miyajihama Beach, which you can see in the photo, which takes about 25 minutes on foot. I recommend strolling down, enjoying the sea view, and then heading back! The torii gate in front of the sea makes for great photos 😉

Introducing Udonya Sumika, located right next to the station in Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture.♡ I visited this restaurant in the summer, so I had their summer-only kabosu grated udon 😋 The refreshing aroma of kabosu and the light soup mixed with the chewy udon made it very smooth and delicious 🥹 The udon was light, so I also ordered two pieces of fried chicken and a chicken rice ball from the lunch set 🩷 The fried chicken went well with beer, and was a perfect match with the light udon! This shop is written as a udon restaurant, but it also serves drinks during the day and has a wide variety of alcoholic drinks, so it can also be used as an izakaya 🏮🍺 After using it as an izakaya, you can also have udon as a final dish 🤭 If you are interested, please go and check it out ♩ 📍 Udon-ya Sumika ⇒Address Grand Depot C 1, 2-6 Chuo 3-chome, Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture ⇒Opening hours 11:00-14:00 18:00-24:00 #FukuokaTrip#Fukuoka#KyushuGourmet#GourmetTrip#CoupleTrip#GirlsTrip#trip2023#Udon#FukutsuCity #FukuokaTourism

It was my first time visiting for cherry blossom viewing, but the weather was good, the flowers were in full bloom, and it was spring break, so there were a lot of people there. It seems to be well-maintained, so I was able to stroll around comfortably! I went from the Wakakidai Danchi side, which was easy to find. It was a great feeling of freedom even though we are in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic♪ #AutumnTrip #Halloween #AccommodationReview #AmazingView

#WesternJapan Miyajidake Shrine in Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture ⛩ I went there for the Iris Festival. The irises were in full bloom in the shrine grounds, and the iris garden was magnificent. The owls are always soothing. Japan's largest shimenawa rope is always big! This is my favorite shrine, and I'm always soothed by the seasonal flowers.

#WesternJapan Miyajidake Shrine in Fukutsu, Fukuoka It's famous for the 'Light Road' in the Arashi commercial, but there are many other things to see. The large bells, shimenawa ropes, and taiko drums are the largest in Japan It's wonderful to tour the inner sanctuary and see the animals at the Miya Zoo. The flower water fountain is also cool and soothing✨✨

Miyajidake Shrine, where you can worship the "Road of Light" that became famous in a certain commercial, is the head shrine of Miyajidake Shrines nationwide. The chance to worship the "Road of Light" is only available for a few days in February and October. Because so many people visit, it has become a rare and spectacular view that can only be seen by getting a numbered ticket or receiving a prayer. Since the deity enshrined is a goddess, you can also enjoy various flowers throughout the four seasons at Miyajidake Shrine. I think it is one of the most representative shrines in Kyushu, visited by 2.2 million people a year as the god of good fortune and prosperity in business. 25 minutes on foot or 5 minutes by taxi from JR Fukuma Station Information as of June 2022. #Breathtaking view #Historical historic site #Fukuoka Prefecture #Shrine and temple tour #Fukuoka #Quintessa campaign

Located in Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, this beach is also known as the "Shonan of Kyushu." There are many cafes, restaurants, and marine sports shops along the coast, making it a particularly popular spot in the summer. Miyajihama Beach, next to Fukuma Beach, has recently been talked about as being similar to the famous Uyuni Salt Flats, making it a great photo spot on a sunny day. Unfortunately, it was cloudy when I went, so I couldn't get the reflection photo I had in mind, but it still turned out to be a great photo. Nearby is Miyajigoku Shrine, which is familiar from Arashi's JAL commercial "Path of Light," so be sure to visit both places together. #Fukuoka #SeasideScenery #SummerShortTrip #JapanGenkiProject #CoupleTrip #FukumaBeach #MirrorSea #UyuniSaltFlats #SummerShortTrip
