7 days in Fukuoka Prefecture Itinerary

The largest city on the island, Fukuoka formed through the merger of two former cities that had grown up either side of the Naka River.

Get some historical perspective at Hakozaki Shrine and Kokura Castle. Discover out-of-the-way places like Fukuoka City Museum and Maizuru Park. Venture out of the city with trips to Kitakyushu (Mekari Shrine, Kanmon Kaikyo, &more) and Nanzoin (in Sasaguri-machi). The adventure continues: wander the streets of Nishijin Shopping District, step off the mainland to explore Shika Island, make a trip to Hakata Station, and stroll around Momochi Seaside Park.
