The view here is beautiful, though there are long lines if you want to take photos. We visited as part of a day tour, which I think was the best choice since the location is quite far. Coming here on your own might be a bit challenging.

This spot is usually packed with visitors, making it tough to get a clear photo—whether of the scenery or yourself. I got “lucky” when a sudden downpour cleared the area. Everyone left, and I managed to capture a few shots amidst the heavy rain and strong wind.

A very quiet and scenic spot to be. The sea was beautiful, though it has just stopped raining when e arrived. There are 2 parking spots across the road, and the one with the gantry does have a toilet in case anyone is looking for one after a long drive. It was empty when we arrived at around 10am, but there were tourists started coming in by the time we left. So, I reckon it will be good to visit early.

About an hour drive from Fukuoka. Plenty of parking just opposite with public toilet. You need to queue to take picture we waited about 30 mins.. but totally worth it.. nice seafood restaurant nearby window table longer waiting time waited about 45 mins again totally worth it..

The torii located at the beach such a sight to behold. You can just stare at it while listening to waves as they crash on the rocky coast line of Itoshima. Very relaxing and a very good photo spot. Just a couple of minutes away from Hakata Station. Easily accessible by bus or a combination of train and bus. Got here at around 9am, and is not yet packed with tourists. There are two restaurants nearby where you can eat eel and fresh seafood bowls. Toilets and vending machines are available.

Really cool spot and it wasn't too busy in middle of October. Plenty of paid parking. See the time for the sunset and go 1 hour before to guarantee good shots.

Nice place, but really tourists oriented! Didn’t have much freedom, some portion of this area was close to public.

Beautiful Shrine But only recommend to go by car because walking from the nearest bus stop is a bit far and tiring

Beautiful during cherry blossom season – from the parking area to the shrine itself. This shrine is connected to the Wedded Rocks on the nearby coast. The goshuincho is beautiful too. The inner shrine has lots of beautiful art. Overall a very peaceful place to visit.

🌸 Visited Sakurai Shrine 櫻井神社 in Itoshima in January 2024, notable for its traditional wooden color. This distinct feature sets it apart from the more common red and orange hues of other Japanese shrines, adding to its uniqueness. The shrine is quaint and tranquil, ideal for a short visit of around 30-40 minutes. Just a 2-minute walk up the hill, I found Iwatomiya Shrine, which was under renovation at the time. Including these shrines in your Itoshima visit offers a unique and peaceful cultural experience 🏯🍃.

See, hear and smell the peace of history by going through the magical portal of this shrine.

Very serene and peaceful place even if you’re not Shinto. I often go for the festivals and to take a break from the busy ltoshima life. If you’re lucky, you’ll spot a wild monkey roaming around! Avoid eye-contact yo.

Over 20 years in the area and I finally discovered this secluded gem. Probably super crowded on weekends and holidays but middle of the week, nobody. Take a short walk into the shady woods and you'll find more stuff, stay low for spiders if you're tall. Plenty of parking.

So beautiful with the cherry blossoms blooming. A peaceful place just a short trip away from the town center.

Came here on 10.09.24 by taxi after visiting Sakurai Shrine torii. The beach is so quiet on the weekday. The sea is so calm. What we didn't know is that it's jellyfish season! They are transparent except four very long red brownish tentacles. There is no warning sign on the beach so I took the risk to swim. My right arm got stung pretty badly when getting out of the water. We found a restaurant called Bay Rock at the end of the beach offering food, drinks, toilet and shower. The staff was very nice to give me ice and itch cream for my arm. Took a bus to go back to Itsohima train station (please check the bus schedule as it's not frequent).

The beach was breathtaking! Went here alone from Fukuoka and it wasn’t crowded. There are also public bathroom nearby and you can purchase shampoo and soaps there. It is clean and pretty!

Chilly beach, but not for swimming; strong wind, few people there. Good place to relax. Parking lot is available for free.

Beautiful beach not too far from Fukuoka. End of the season so was pretty empty on a gorgeous, sunny afternoon. SUP boards for rent and a nice beach bar for some drinks. Crystal clear water was so refreshing.

Gorgeous!! It was a very short and cheap bus ride to this beach. From the bus stop it’s about a 10 min walk and then all of a sudden you’re hit with this amazing view of turquoise water and beach. I cannot believe my luck that it’s nearly empty I only wish I remembered to bring my bathing suit to swim. The water is shallow and calm and warm. I picked up some shells and saw baby squid!

Near the sea/beach in fukuoka. Wow! Surprisingly!😊🥰The parking lot is free and no entrance fee. The water is clean but there are many tree branches. The sand is nice but there are quite a lot of branches and leaves but even so we had fun and enjoyed swimming. The water is cold and it’s perfect for the hot weather🥵

I used to really like this beach, but the BBQ places have overrun almost all of the sand. They blocked off large portions from the parking lot where you can't even walk down to the beach. As this is a public beach, I don't understand how they can block off so much of the sand paths to get to the water. Frustrating experience for an otherwise beautiful location.

Visited Saturday at 3p, and despite listed as open, boat ride was closed. Be aware that wind can close this at random. Still a pretty place to visit

Mysterious lava cave??? Worth a visit to see if this leads to where Totoro lives!!!

Such a cool way to see the amazing lava formations and sea cave. The boat ride is very adorable. The staff was nice.

The booth selling tickets to the cave was near to the bus stop. On the boat, they have a recording on the area in Japanese, and the basalt cave was quite near. Depending on the sea conditions, you may be able to go into the cave - I was able to touch the walls a little as the boat entered the cave's mouth. It feels like the underworld is straight ahead, with the darkness beyond. I recommend you visit this place and stay for the food in the area.

Amazing scene, if you take the tour boat

The sea view is incredible!🥹

Amazing place as the cave cause by sea erosion. The cave layered wall. About 20 minutes of boat ride from Keya no Oto boat pier. Boat pier take about 48 minutes of car drive. By train to JR Chikuzenmaebaru station and take Showa bus Keya Line to end of bus stop Keya bus stop. From bus stop take 10 minutes walk. If the weather is good and no strong wave and wind, the boat captain will bring into the cave.

Just a short distance away from where I had lunch (魚庄UoshyoObaru), the Palm Tree Swing is a fun and unique spot to visit. Nestled by the sea, the swing is set under a tall palm tree, offering a perfect spot for photos with the ocean backdrop. It’s a relaxed, scenic spot that adds a touch of adventure to your day—whether you’re enjoying the gentle swing or simply taking in the view. It’s a great place to unwind, snap some photos, and soak in the natural beauty of the area. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

The Palm Tree Swing offers a charming and relaxing experience, featuring a variety of swings where visitors can unwind while taking in the tranquil ocean views. This scenic spot is perfect for capturing memorable photos, allowing guests to enjoy both the refreshing sea breeze and the picturesque surroundings. Conveniently located, the area provides ample parking across the street and includes a nearby restaurant for added convenience.

Must go! I should bring my swimming gear… it’s super fun and my kids spent 2 hours play time there. Lots of facilities.

A nice spot for some photos with plenty of swings and some other setups. Definitely worth paying for the 300yen for parking, which is across the road.

Nice but very touristy. Good for about 30-45 minutes.

It's simply a beach with no proper shower facilities. It's only suitable for taking photos and not worth a visit.

Touristy spot worth a picture or two. Kind of weird/out of place things like gondola and shark.

Papa Says: 👍👍👍+ The locomoco hamburg patty was the best patty I've ever had. The photos speak for themselves! View was impeccable, service was friendly and nice, and might I say, the locomoco hamburg patty 🥩 was the best I've ever tasted in my life, no exaggeration. The patty was coated with a housemade sauce that was rich in umami, and the patty was seared to perfection — it maintained its slight crispiness despite the sauce, and the interior of the patty was soft and juicy. Best eaten hot, the pairing with the sunny side up and rice really is the perfect lunch you can have, while enjoying the beach view at 20°C spring temperatures. Imagine yourself in a scene from Hometown Chachacha, with soft jazz playing in the background. Truly an experience. Pork curry was delicious as well, but the hamburg definitely stole the show for me.

Beautiful beachside restaurant to enjoy a meal. Free parking available in front of the establishment. Food-wise, it was decent but not warm when it arrived. Their Mont blanc and coffees was exceptional though it made it up! (Do note that it's a pet friendly cafe)

Amazing view, the staff was really kind and welcoming, the drinks were tasty

Enjoyed the 4 cheese pizza and spicy chicken breast. Nice view at sunset.

Food was amazing! We order the loco moco and garlic shrimp! Highly recommend!

This restaurant is the best thing about Palm Beach...service was excellent and the food was delicious. It's not affiliated with the chain of restaurants to its right and that a good thing. Do yourself a favour and eat here

Second visit here and still fab. Great terrace overlooking the beach. Lots of shade and dog friendly. Food is great but bigger than normal portions for Japan! Today we had the jerk chicken with a side of chilli fries - monumental. No dinner required later for sure! A chilled out spot in a great location with really good food. Nice.

There is only limited option of ramen and that's with pork broth and meat. Unfortunately due this I could not eat... Probably some bad luck by as well the souvenir machine with miniature collection I wanted at least since I cannot try their food accepts only 500yen coin. Mine took my money and no miniature went out...leaving bit sad..

Ichiran no Mori is about an hour away from Fukuoka. The noodles were excellent and the broth was rich and delicious. Although I'm not a big ramen person, the experience was still really nice. We were lucky to not have a long wait, which made the visit even better.

This Ichiran had a zero minute wait time which is uncommon but understandable. The unique part about this store is that there is an ‘Ichiran museum’ inside about the making of the noodles, to details about the bowl and locations, like the pentagonal shape. It is located in the middle of the Itoshima greenery so it feels quite out of place since most Ichiran stores are in the city.

I liked the ramen but I thought I would see something else from Ichiran, just went there to eat, there is nothing else to do sadly, you can read some of the history of the company but other that that you just go to eat some ramen

The Ichiran Factory is huge and very nice, definitely a must-visit for Ichiran fans. Even though the place is big, it can still get pretty packed, which just shows how popular it is. There’s a mini museum-like room where you can learn more about Ichiran’s history, and you can also see the inside of the factory through the glass, which is really interesting. They also have a shop where you can buy Ichiran products to take home. Highly recommended if you love Ichiran and want to experience more than just the ramen.

We love Ichiran ramen so we were delighted to visit the place and see how they make their noodles. As always, the ramen was superb.

Really good ramen, definitely worth visiting if you are passing by.

The view was great since the weather was good. People lined up in front of the white torii for pictures. There was also a small stream in front of the of stairs as entrance. Visited here in April, 2025.

Go during great weather... we went when it just cleared from rain.... so water wasnt as blue... but still gorgeous nontheless... paid parking right across ... worth the visit... totoro forest and shiraito falls nearby

Great view. Paid parking is there with 300yen per hour.

Beautiful scenery, lovely set up and the restaurant & cafe around is amazing.

Go early to have good IG photos with less people around. Spend time worthwhile - car park (opp the spot) 300¥/60min.

Went there by car Could jump in the sea that's nice 👍🏻

It wasn’t the perfect weather but it was worth the visit.

Beautiful water fall spot where you can fish for trout… an enjoyment day out for the family. Try to arrive early before 10am if u are driving!!

Shiraito Falls is a really good tourist spot and definitely worth visiting. The waterfalls are very beautiful and the surroundings are peaceful, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. They also have a special kind of soba here that you should definitely try, it’s really delicious and unique to the area. You can also go fishing nearby, and the fish tastes amazingly fresh and good. Overall, it’s a great place to spend time and enjoy both nature and local food.

Beautiful little water fall, it was nice during the weekday because almost nobody was there. They offer food and have drinks, you can even pay 3000 yen to go fishing and catch your own fish.

View is extraordinary, food is nice and simple, staff is friendly to help, price is reasonable, recommend to have your personal vehicle/transportation when coming here. The nearest bus stop is far and still gotta wait as the bus timing gap is long.

the waterfalls was so-so... ive seen better... but here u can fish and have them cook for u... also there is a place you eat somen (soba ramen) soaked in waterfall water .... definitely a memorable experience... big parking space... we went during silver week so there was a bit of traffic but the parking conductor was efficient and fair.... to me, its a must go for the experience.. also the view from the top... breathtaking... i think its gorgeous during ajisai season

Okay.... Visited 7 March 2024 Free admission and free parking. There are 3 levels of parking, the upper level is closest to the waterfall. The area around the waterfall is very small. There's also trails that can be hiked if you have time. The drive up the steep narrow road is crazy, long and dangerous. There's two different roads to the waterfall, one is ridiculous, the other is much better and safer. Google map will probably choose the worst one. There are way too many blind spots and not enough mirrors on that road. Please drive carefully. Not recommended on weekends or holidays. Best on weekdays and right before closing. On my visit the restaurants and small fishing pool were closing, so I can't comment on those. The waterfall itself is surprisingly easy to access and photograph if there isn't a crowd. It was very empty when I visited. Beautiful and relaxing view with fresh air. Will calm your spirits and take away your worries. Overall: Recommended to visit but choose your visit time wisely. This place looks like it will be a long wait on a busy day. I can see visitors getting stuck in line on that long hill.

It was not too crowded for a weekend and the restaurant where you can "catch your noodles" coming down the water I the bamboo pipes was pretty cool!

Spiritual, Sacred, Timeless, Serene, Peaceful, Respectful, Zen, Historic, Genuine Japan Heritage.. These are some of the words I would use to describe this special place. This is a serene and spiritually grounding mountain temple — peaceful, deeply respectful, and beautifully preserved. Raizan Sennyoji Daihioin offers a timeless atmosphere and a rare window into genuine Japan. I was honored to take part in a guided prayer experience with chanting and drumming — a deeply immersive and reverent moment. The sacred stillness of the forest surroundings only adds to the zen quality of this space. A true sanctuary for reflection, intention, and quiet renewal.”

Went during the summer, it was supposedly quieter and more peaceful, compared to spring or autumn. Nice temple to drop by for simple prayers and appreciation.

This is a very beautiful temple with such a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The view from the area is stunning, and the surroundings make it a great place to just slow down and take everything in. There are a lot of Buddhas here, which makes the place feel even more special and meaningful. It’s truly a beautiful spot to visit and enjoy some quiet time.

This temple is truly a place worth visiting. Even if the autumn leaves haven’t turned red yet, the scenery of the mountain temple is still breathtaking and peaceful. In autumn, it’s definitely one of the must-see spots. I highly recommend paying the entrance fee to go inside — the “五百羅漢” statues are incredibly impressive, each with different expressions and lifelike details. 千手觀音 is equally magnificent, and the sound of sutra chanting inside the hall creates a deeply spiritual and calming atmosphere. It’s a moving and memorable experience — both culturally and spiritually enriching. Absolutely worth visiting, no matter the season. 🙏✨

We have visited many temples in Japan during our many visits and the time we lived in the country. Most of the famous ones are difficult to enjoy due to the many tourists visiting them. It is hard to enjoy the spiritual experience of a buddhist temple if it is packed with people. But this temple is different because of its location, which is hard to reach if you don’t have a car. In addition, the temple is located in a forest with some elevation differences within the temple compound making it breathtakingly beautiful and also very quiet. The staff and the monks are very friendly and accommodating. We even had a chance to enjoy a private prayer session for our small family. The main shrine (photography not allowed) is carved in wood and features incredible detail. The tour inside the main temple is stunning in every regard. In the back of the temple there are 500 small buddha statues. At the ticket office you can buy small bracelets, rings and other things to support the temple. If you have a car and are in the Fukuoka region, this is a very nice visit to include in your planning.

This is an excellent place to admire the fall leaves. Entry to the temple was 400 yen, to simply admire the gardens was 100 yen. It was well worth it to admire the inside of the temple and see the beautiful art. Parking can be a bit hectic, so it’s advisable to carpool or take public transport if possible.

There is plenty of parking available in a parking lot right across the street from the temple entrance for free. There are bathrooms available right at the entrance to the temple site. You have to pay a fee to enter the temple. After paying the fee you can take your shoes off and explore the inside and outside of the temple including a beautiful zen garden and the maple tree and then follow the route to the sacred hall in which you can participate in a guided prayer with Japanese chants and drumming. There are no translations in any other languages but it was still a unique experience. After the prayer you can make your way to the 500 statues. They are all well taken care of just like the rest of the temple site! We received our goshuin stamp at the little office right after the prayer.

There is only limited option of ramen and that's with pork broth and meat. Unfortunately due this I could not eat... Probably some bad luck by as well the souvenir machine with miniature collection I wanted at least since I cannot try their food accepts only 500yen coin. Mine took my money and no miniature went out...leaving bit sad..

Bought some Macaroons while waiting for the bus. Very tasty. There is a nice area to sit outside in front of the shop.

Everything was delicious!! Cute little shop, free parking, toilets are clean. A perfect place to stop and have a yummy snack.

Roll Cake not very soft but unique everything that made from egg is very quality

Chestnut pudding

(Translated by Google) 2025.06.06 (Fri) I stopped by while I was working in Itoshima. I remembered that it had been featured on a TV bus travel program. It was just after 10 o'clock, but the store opened at 10:30, so I lined up (there were two customers ahead of me). By the time the store opened, there were about 10 people inside. ・Roll cake (plain) 432 yen ・Pudding 388 yen ・Hot coffee 465 yen I was lucky that all roll cakes were 20% off that day! There were a few flavors that caught my eye, such as caramel, but since it was my first time, I started with plain. The pudding also looked delicious, so I ordered it. There were tables and chairs in the building next door, so I tried it there. Many people took several pieces to go, which shows how popular it is. I tried it without any preconceived notions that they use good eggs, and both the roll cake and the pudding were delicious. They were not too sweet and made the most of the quality of the ingredients. I wanted to try the egg dishes at the restaurant across the street, but that will have to wait until next time. (Original) 2025.0606(金) 糸島活動中に立ち寄り。以前テレビのバス旅番組で紹介されていたのを覚えていた。10時過ぎくらいだったが、開店が10:30とのことで行列に並ぶ(先客2名)。開店時には10人くらいになってた ・ロールケーキ(プレーン) 432円 ・プリン　388円 ・ホットコーヒー　465円 この日はロールケーキが全品20%OFFというラッキー！キャラメルなどいくつか気になるフレーバーがあったが、初めてなのでますはプレーンで。プリンもおいしそうで追加。併設の建屋にテーブルと椅子がありそこで実食。何個もテイクアウトする方も多く、人気の高さが伺える いい卵を使っている先入観を排除して食べてみたが、ロールケーキもプリンもどちらもおいしかった。甘過ぎず素材の良さが生かされている 道を挟んだ向かい側のレストランで卵料理を食べてみたかったが、それはまた次回のお楽しみ

(Translated by Google) It's fluffy yet densely packed with cream that melts in your mouth with just the right amount of sweetness. This is a famous roll cake made with eggs from Tsumandego Tamago. If you'd like to eat in, you can purchase your order inside the store by going up the slope, then carry it outside and down the slope to the eat-in space next door and sit down. It's a little pricey, but it's a roll cake you'll want to try. 😀 (Original) ふわっふわなのにぎゅっと詰まっていて、甘さ控えめのすっと溶けるクリーム。 つまんでご卵の卵を使用した、有名なロールケーキです。 イートインしたい場合は、スロープを上がった店内で購入して、商品を持って外に出てスロープを下って隣のイートインスペースへ自分で運んで席に座っていただけます。 少しお高めではありますが、食べたくなるロールケーキです😀

(Translated by Google) **"The roll cake is delicious."** I can't find the right words. I take a bite and savor the deliciousness. "Tsumandego Tamago Cake Workshop" in Itoshima. Just hearing the name, you'd think they'd be particular about eggs. Each ingredient—flour, sugar, honey—plays its role to the fullest in this roll cake. According to their website, the workshop was founded when the products in "Nigiyaka na Haru" (Lively Spring) prompted them to open a cake shop. Romanticism and down-to-earth quality coexist here. The newly renovated interior resembles a forest studio, with a barrier-free design that's safe for strollers and wheelchairs. Their goal was not just a sweets shop, but a store rooted in everyday life. There's no water provided in the dining area, so you'll need to purchase some if you need it. (Original) **「ロールケーキが美味しい」** 気の利いた言葉が見つからない。ひと口食べて、おいしいと噛みしめる。 糸島の「つまんでご卵ケーキ工房」。名前を聞けば、卵にこだわっていそうだなと思う。小麦粉も、砂糖も、はちみつも、素材の一つひとつが、自分の役割を最大限果たすそんなロールケーキ。 ＨＰによると工房のはじまりは「にぎやかな春」の商品たちが「ケーキ屋やろうよ」と呼びかけてきたからだという。ロマンと地に足のついた品質が共存している。 リニューアルされた店内は、どこか森の中のアトリエのようで、ベビーカーや車いすも安心して通れるバリアフリー設計。目指したのは、ただのスイーツショップではなく、生活に根ざしたお店。 イートインスペースにはお水がおかれていないので、必要があれば購入する必要があります。

Wonderful place for charcoal-grilled oysters! Be sure to wear the jackets provided at the entrance—they’re definitely needed. One of the oysters ‘exploded,’ and hot seawater splashed on me. So, avoid wearing fancy clothes and be cautious while grilling. The oysters are incredibly fresh and delicious. The staff are friendly, helpful, and honest. In fact, when we were accidentally overcharged for a dish, one of the staff members ran outside to return the extra payment. Great service 👏 👍

Crazy place def worth a visit. Great value freshest seafood you can get!

2nd time here as their oysters season tends to end later than other areas in Itoshima. Fukuoka-now website has dates for the season start & end dates, so check before you go. Apart from grilling the fresh seafood, we ordered their specialities: sashimi rice bowls (negitoro-don, hamachi don, salmon don) and the oyster rice. There is no English menu so just look at the pictures and order! The experience of "exploding" oysters was well worth the drive out to the fishing port! Plus you get a kick out of eating seafood that is so fresh and cheap!!

The oysters are very fresh and full, the other shell is also delicious, this is the second time I went to an oyster house, very nice to have dine with friends

A must when in Fukuoka or Kyushu. Great experience, so delicious and fresh seashells. Just try not to wear light-colored clothes as the ash from grill flies everywhere, probably best is to wear something black and not sensitive. Also it is recommended to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from spark

We were lucky to catch the end of the oyster season. Prices are reasonable. You grill the seafood yourself. English menu available. a great place to hang out with friends and family while having fresh delicious seafood. other shellfish also available.

Very nice place and courteous staffs. Greatly recommend for their food.

Here’s a little question for you… Where else in the world can you e-bike down a mountain from a 1700 year-old Buddhist temple into a rural town and eat one of the greatest meals of your entire life? Exactly. If you see this review and don’t come here you deserve capital punishment.

A nice little rural escape. Looks a bit small and inconspicuous from the outside but it's actually quite cavernous inside. The wife loved the matcha terrine. I was surprised to see they had Aussie Lamingtons on sale as well as a number of local preserves and condiments on sale. Recommended.

good tasting healthy food, with a nice environment.

Vegetarians paradise.

The moment you bite into it, you hear a crispy popping sound, the meat juices fill your mouth, and the beautiful smell of pork wafts up your nose 🤩 You can enjoy it with all five senses ✌️ I ended up taking a big bite, and I think I ate it in about four bites 😋 The sweets are just as in the picture ❤️ Of course they're delicious 😋 They're art ✨ Thank you for the wonderful time and place ☺️ (Original) 予約が不可というのが残念ですが、駐車場は広く20台はとめれそう👌糸島に来ては、今度こそ💪と思っても、タイミングが合わず来店することができませんでした😢しかし、この度、30年来の戦友と願いが叶いました✨ 隠れ家的な雰囲気の古民家カフェ❤️ 昔の醤油蔵を改装した重厚感のある木材がふんだんに使った内装です✨私達はスイーツ目的で入りましたが、糸島豚のソーセージがパンからはみ出たホットドッグに目にとまり注文してしまいました😁こんな感じで私達50代は大きくなってしまいます😢 でも、注文して間違いはなかった😋まず、パンからはみ出たソーセージを見て楽しみ、ナイフ、フォークは使わずに、手に待ち、ガブリ。歯が入った途端、パリッという弾ける音、ジュワッと口に広がる肉汁、ふわぁっと鼻に抜ける豚の綺麗な香り🤩五感で楽しめます✌️ついつい、一口が大きくなり、4口位で食べたかも😋 スイーツは画像の通り❤️美味しいに決まってる😋芸術です✨素敵な時間と場所をありがとうございます☺️

(Translated by Google) I visited for breakfast. The atmosphere was very calming, with a variety of seating options, including tatami rooms, booth seats, table seats, counter seats, and kids' tables. The view outside was beautiful, so I sat at the counter by the window. There were also items for sale inside the store, including coffee, vinegar, and cakes. I had the morning set with coffee. The scrambled eggs were a little sweet, which I liked. The yogurt had Shine Muscat grapes (seasonal fruit), and the bread was moist and delicious. I'll definitely be back.

(Translated by Google) reiwa07,2025,10,03,Friday,13,02 pm just,rain / cloudy sky...by japan,'s style expression Today I came to see the cosmos in the plains. They were only in bloom for about 3-4 minutes, but I was blown away by their beauty. On my way back, I stopped off at Aguri, a restaurant and cafe bar I'd always wanted to visit, even though it's in the opposite direction from my house. This restaurant and cafe bar, renovated from an old soy sauce shop, is a mix of old-fashioned and new. They also sell merchandise and operate as a coffee shop, making it a great place for a quick break. Also, if you look toward the back of the store, you'll find a Japanese-style tatami area, with western-style tables and chairs. The atmosphere here is quite nice. By the way, while more and more restaurants are now using tabletop touch panels for ordering... At Aguri, you simply scan the QR code card on the table with your phone, and your order is completed immediately, as if your table number had been pre-programmed. I was surprised. I ordered spaghetti with sausage, a salad, and an iced coffee... The spaghetti had a bit too much Tabasco sauce...it was so strong, it still stings my throat. As expected, they didn't have the now-popular "serving robot," but...it was nice to see that a human touch still remained. Also, since this place is difficult to get to without a car, even those who like alcohol can't drink alcohol, so I thought it would be nice if they had non-alcoholic beer or something similar on the drink menu. (Original) reiwa07,2025,10,03,friday,13,02 pm just,rain / cloudysky・・・by japan,s style expression 今日は「平原」の「コスモス」を見に来ました。まだ、3〜4分、咲きくらいでしたが・・素晴らしさに感動しました。 そして、その帰りに、家とは逆方向なのですが1度、来てみたいと思っていたので今日、初めてここ「あぐり」に来ました。 古い醤油屋を改装したオールドファッション / ニューフェイスのレストラン & カフェバーです。グッツの販売、喫茶店機能もかねているので、ちょっと休憩するには丁度、いいですね。 また、店の奥の方に目をやると、和風の畳のところがあり、ここもテーブル & チェアーのウエスタン・スタイルになっていました。 ここはなかなか、雰囲気がいいですね。 ところで、オーダーはテーブル上の「タッチパネル」を採用している店がいまはかなり増えてきましたが・・・・ ここ「あぐり」はテーブルの上にある「ＱＲcord」カードを「自分の携帯電話で読み込む」と事前に、デーブル・ナンバーがインプットされているのか、直ぐに、オーダーが完了します。びっくりしました。 ソーセージ付きスパゲッティーとサラダとアイスコーヒーを頼みましたが・・・ スパゲッティーはタバスコがちょっと、かけすぎ・・・強力、いまでも、かなり喉まわりに刺激がまわっています。 さすがに、ここはいまはやりの「配膳ロボット」はありませんでしたが・・・ここのところは人間味がまだ、残っていて、よかったです。 また、ここは車でこないとなかなかこれないところなので、酒好きの人間にとってはアルコールの酒が飲めないので、ドリンクメニューの中に、ノンアルコールビール等を置かれたらいいのではないかと思いました。

Super GOOD!!!!!

(Translated by Google) I stopped by to try some seafood from Itoshima. In a corner of the direct market, I was looking at the menu board for today's offerings, and the staff told me all about it. The small seafood bowl comes with 10 slices of sashimi, which is 2/3 of the normal amount. They have squid for tempura, but for a seafood bowl, they have octopus... I was torn. Since I was there, I ordered a seafood bowl with the seafood as is. I was given a numbered ticket at the register, and just as I sat down, my number was called and I went to the pick-up counter to collect my order. At first, I just poured a little soy sauce over it and had it as is. Yes, it was delicious. The skin of the red sea bream was crunchy, and the flesh was moist and soft. The octopus also had a good texture and aroma. The sweet Kyushu soy sauce went really well with it. I started eating it halfway through, adding some wasabi dissolved in the soy sauce. The fish soup had a lot of meat, and the rich miso flavor was perfect for finishing off the seafood bowl. There are many restaurants that serve seafood bowls that look flashy or are served in large portions, but this restaurant simply serves fresh, local fish in a delicious way. Payment is by cash only. (Original) 糸島の海の幸をと立ち寄ってみた。産直市場の一角、メニューボードの本日のネタを眺めているとお店の方にいろいろと教えてもらえた。海鮮丼の小はお刺身が2/3の10切れとのこと。天ぷらにするとイカがあるのだけれど、海鮮丼はマダコ…これは悩む。せっかくなので海の幸そのままの海鮮丼をお願いした。レジで番号札を渡されて席に着いたと思ったらすぐ番号を呼ばれて受取口で受け取る。はじめは醤油を少しだけ落としてそのままで。うん、美味しい。真鯛の皮はコリコリ、身はしっとり柔らか。マダコも良い歯応えと香り。九州の甘めの醤油がとても合う。途中からはその醤油でわさびを溶いたものをかけて食べ進めた。アラ汁も身がたくさん、濃い味噌の味が海鮮丼のシメにぴったり。海鮮丼というと華やかな見た目だったり、盛りを強調したものを提供するお店はよくあるけれど、シンプルに地物の新鮮な魚を美味しく提供するお店。支払いは現金のみで。

(Translated by Google) It was around noon on a Sunday, so I waited for over 30 minutes. I was looking for a delicious seafood lunch in the area, so I searched and found this place with good reviews. It's in a corner of a kind of local seafood market, and there were about four seats at the counter and a few table seats. It's understandable that it gets busy, as there are few staff compared to the number of customers. I ordered a large seafood bowl, but the amount of rice remained the same, but they said it just had a few more pieces of topping. It was a large portion, but it didn't feel that large, and I was able to eat it all in one go. The meat was firm, but I wasn't sure if it was really fresh... (Original) 日曜日の12時ごろで30分以上待ちました。 この辺りで美味しい海鮮ランチを食べたいと思い検索して評価がよかったのでここにしました。 産地とれとれ市場のようなところの一角で席数はカウンター4席くらいとテーブル席がいくつかありました。 お客さんに対してスタッフの人数が少ないので混むのも仕方ないと思います。 海鮮丼大盛りを頼みましたがご飯の量は変わらず、ネタが、数枚増えるとのことです。 大盛りですがそれほど大盛りという感じではなく、ペロッと頂けました。 身はぷりぷりしてましたが新鮮さが感じられるかどうかは…？でした。 普通に美味しかったです。 ごちそうさまでした。

(Translated by Google) It's located in a corner of the JF Itoshima store. It wasn't very crowded because it was normal. I had a seafood bowl and tentacle tempura, and the ingredients were fresh and delicious. The set meal comes with fish soup, which is also delicious. (Original) JF糸島の店舗内の片隅にあります。平時でしたのでそれほど混んでいませんでした。海鮮丼とゲソ天を頂きましたが、ネタは新鮮で最高です。定食はあら汁付きで、これも美味しいです。

(Translated by Google) I had a bowl of seasonal squid. A large piece of sashimi, tempura, and soup costs 1,880 yen. The squid is sweet and chewy, and the tempura has just the right amount of crunch to go along with the rice. I went too far and didn't have enough rice. I just ate a bowl of live squid yesterday for 10,000 yen, and when I compared it, Itoshima's squid bowl was definitely sweeter and more delicious. The lady at the cash register is also very nice, making this a restaurant you definitely want to try out. (Original) 旬のイカの丼を頂きました。大ぶりの刺身と天ぷら、あら汁で1,880円。 イカは甘くて歯応えもあり、天ぷらもほどよい歯応えで、ご飯が進みます。進み過ぎてご飯の量がちょっと足りないです。 昨日、一杯10,000円の活きイカを食べたばかりで、比較しても断然糸島のイカ丼の方が甘くて美味しかったです。 レジのお姉さんも感じがよく、是非食べて欲しい一店です。

Probably one of the decent places around here for a very generous kaisen bowl at a very decent price, with just …. Decent quality. Besides sashimi and sushi, you’ll find tempura and some beef on the menu. Service is unenthusiastic and you’ll order off an tablet and left to your own devices for the rest of the meal. Bowls of rice are heaped with fish and ikura as you’ll see in the photos. Frequented by locals for their great prices and chunky cuts of chutoro/otoro. But like I said, manage your expectations on quality. Make sure you come prepared with around ¥4000 a head because they only accept cash.

A traditional japanese style restaurant - you have to take your shoes off at the entrance. After being guided to your table, you will order via a tablet (i think there was only japanese). We went in the morning for breakfast, and they only really had raw seafood rice bowls and an ochazuke option with raw fish. As I dont eat raw fish, I got the ochazuke and cooked the raw think slices of fish in the tea (place the fish on the rice and pour the hot tea on top). Taste wise - it was good. Nothing spectacular, but it was definitely still nice and comforting. The raw seafood rice bowls were quite large portions (you could select your rice size) and good quality for the price.

We visited this restaurant spontaneously and were pleased with the service. The staff was friendly and polite. We tried many different dishes as we were a larger group and while some dishes were very good, others were average and below. For instance, the sashimi rice bowl was very good, as was the tempura. Also the clams in sake and butter were tasty. The sushi was average and the abalone was not good. It was hard as a rock and didn’t taste much. Abalone should be a little chewy or “al dente”, but not so hard that you have to worry about your teeth. The dining experience was fine and we enjoyed it but we will try another restaurant next time.

Better than average food quality but very reasonable price. Except the clam dish which has some diesel smell, all other dishes exceed expectation. Steam oysters are something u should not miss. Must come again next time.

Besides the seafood rice bowl set, I also recommend the a la carte dish. The seafood and sashimi are fresh and delicious. Highly recommended.

Fresh sashimi, great service, cheap price! Highly recommended to visit this restaurant if you are going to Itoshima I wanna visit again two days after my first visit, but found that the queue was super long, definitely will visit again if I come to itoshima in future

My Favorite Lunch in FUKUOKA

There is a wide range of choice of chicken parts you can choose from. Recommended to those chicken-lovers.

Nice yakiniku restaurant specialized on chicken but other meat is also available. Very reasonable prices for lunch sets. Good for children during lunch time.

Cheap and good place for group eat-outs👍

Chicken is the best

Good food and good service

Meh. Mediocre quality food.

(Translated by Google) The color of the chicken is so beautiful!! The sauce is so good you'll want to dip it in again and again, and it's also great served with rice! The chicken soup in the set meal is packed with tender, fall-off chicken, and it's delicious!! I regret not adding rice to the soup...🫢 I ate inside and also got takeout. Even on a weekday, the restaurant was full by 6 PM, and there was a line. (Original) 鶏肉の色がとても綺麗です！！ タレも美味しくて何度漬けもしたくなるし、白ご飯にびたびたの鶏肉を乗せて食べてください！ 定食の鶏スープは鶏肉が入っていてホロホロに柔らかくて美味しい!! スープにご飯入れて食べればよかった...と後悔🫢 店内で食べてテイクアウトもしました。 平日でも18時過ぎには満席で待ちがいました。

Authentic Thai taste with a Thai chef. Can be a little spicy for local tastes. Perfect for Singaporeans. The Thai craft beer is tasty too.

You can get both amazing food and stunning view. The fried rice was amazing. But, some rice noodles should be added to the tomyum to give it more volume.

Wonderful Thai food. We had fresh spring rolls, lemon shrimp and fried rice but the highlight was the papaya salad. I could eat 2 platefuls of it. t was quite far from our hotel but it was well worth the drive. The server was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a change of pace.

Great Thai restaurant with a very coconut creamy green curry. The view was good and the service prompt. The only reason I don't give this restaurant 5 stars is it was more expensive than other places of similar quality and the portions were a little small.

Great Thai food, beyond the usual menu, prepared and served with great care.

I loved both the food and the ambience! It was really a wonderful experience to have lunch over there.

In contrast to what other people say this is NOT authentic Thai food. I’ve personally been to Thailand six times and all over the country and I can assure anyone this is not it. Furthermore this is basically a shag next to a noisy road and train track that just happens to have a view of the ocean. But with no fans or air-con on it’s stinking hot inside and on the balcony. Given that they charge city (premium) prices for their food in it’s setting this is incredibly low value!! There are much much better Thai restaurants in Fukuoka city and I would not recommend anyone this place as it’s absolutely not worth the trip! Do yourself a favour; buy some spring rolls and drinks from your local supermarket and just go sit on any random beach somewhere. That’ll give you about the same experience for a tenth of the price.

Cheap prices. Good food. Pleasant staff. Visit it quite often! Definitely recommend. They have a system of purchasing tickets at the entrance, which can be confusing for non Japanese speakers. But you can also just order at the table, and they should be able to help you out. They've started accommodating for take-out since the pandemic started. I was doubtful whether this would maintain the tempura's crispiness. Thankfully, the tempura was still very crispy and delicious! Glad to know the pandemic won't stop me from enjoying my favourite tempura place!

To me, it is one of the best places in the town to taste Tempura. It offers set meal that starts from 490JPY. A typical set meal includes: 1. 5-7 pieces of Tempura (Fish, Chicken, Pumpkin, Capsicum, Eggplant and so on), 2. One bowl of Rice 3. One bowl of Miso Soup 4. One Radish Sauce 5. Unlimited Squid 6. Unlimited Cabbage-pickle 7. Ocha, Macha & Water If you are not a voracious individual, it will fill you up, for sure. They serve the tempura freshly fried and have some basic drink options. This is a great place for people who wants to hang out and have loud chats! Nobody minds here.

This is a tempura restaurant. You have to buy first a ticket in the machine at the entrance to be able to order the food. Then you may sit at the bar to eat.

Near Hatae Station, Good services.

delish!

Cheap and yummy

Really loved the place

Great food, nice dining room, exceptional value, although portions are small for oversized foreigners like myself. Beautiful birthday dessert plate for the guest of honour. One very cheerful server who was very friendly, only negatives were the main course arriving before we had finished our soup ( this does happen occasionally in restaurants in Japan ) , and a very surly and brusque young waiter who didn't get the brief that it was a celebration lunch.. saying all that we shall return as overall a good lunch...

We enjoyed nice buffet style food.

Unique place for family, friend and colleague gatherings.

Nice restaurant with a self service buffet.

Tasty

(Translated by Google) I visited for lunch in late January 2025. This is a buffet style restaurant located on the first floor of Glocal Hotel. It's a bit pricey, but it's not too noisy and you can enjoy delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere, so I've been using it occasionally for a while now. We recommend the Itoshima vegetable salad, and you can choose from several dressings. It's a 90-minute buffet, but you can enjoy dessert and coffee after your meal, so it's one of our recommended restaurants! We recommend making reservations as it can be crowded not only on holidays but also on weekdays. (Original) 2025年1月下旬にランチで訪問しました。 グローカルホテル一階にあるビュッフェスタイルのレストランです。 値段はそれなりにしますが、それほど騒がしくなく落ち着いておいしい料理を堪能できるので以前からたまに利用させていただいています。 お勧めは糸島野菜のサラダで、ドレッシングも数種類から選べます。 90分制のビュッフェですが、食後のデザートやコーヒーまで十分楽しめるのでお勧めのお店の１つです！ 休日はもちろんですが平日でも混んでいる場合があるのでご予約をお勧めします👌

(Translated by Google) I had the morning buffet. There was a wide variety of dishes available, and it seemed like they had paid attention to using Itoshima ingredients. The food was delicious, and it was a great way to start the day. (Original) モーニングビュッフェを利用させていただきました。 多くの料理が用意されていて、糸島の食材にも気を配るような感じの構成で良かったです。 味もよく、一日中のスタートには大変良かったです。

Visited in July 2025 (International Terminal only) One of the reasons why this airport is great (for its users) is that it's located right in the downtown, with a subway line connecting both places. One even can walk from the shinkansen station to the international terminal in 30 minutes or slightly more if he/she is especially in a mood of a walk or a bit energetic. The international terminal itself is well designed, easy to use, and stylish for a medium-sized airport. I saw some reviews posted some months ago complaining the lackluster quantity of seating in the airside - can confirm this problem is largely rectified.

Fukuoka Airport is a great airport. Clean, well-maintained, and very organized. Facilities are modern, signage is clear, and the overall layout makes it easy to navigate. Staff are friendly and efficient, making the travel experience smooth from check-in to boarding. A pleasant gateway to Kyushu!

Having passed through the newly renovated Fukuoka Airport in 2024, I was thoroughly impressed. While it retains its compact and manageable size, the updates have given it a wonderfully fresh and refreshing feel, making it a very pleasant place to arrive or depart from. The greatest advantage remains its incredible convenience. Its location is unbeatable, being one of the closest airports to a major city center in the world. The addition of free shuttle rides from the international terminal to the subway station is a fantastic touch, making the commute into the heart of Fukuoka an absolute breeze. It’s a model of efficiency and user-friendly design.

Such a pleasant little airport—compact, efficient, and actually quite pretty compared to many other international airports in Asia. Immigration was smooth and quick, plenty of seating areas, and a few lounges to relax in. Pro tip: take the metro to the last stop, Fukuoka Airport, then follow the exit for the free shuttle to the international terminal. It’s super quick, a short walk, and way easier than expected!

Be aware that the international and domestic terminals are in separate locations — you’ll need to take a shuttle bus for about 5–10 minutes. The airport itself is efficient, clean, and easy to navigate. Plenty of shops inside, with just the right balance — not overwhelming, but enough variety to find what you need. Security lines move quickly, making it one of Japan’s better airports for smooth travel.

Fukuoka Airport leaves a mixed impression. On the positive side, the international terminal is clean, modern, and well maintained, with clear signage, spotless restrooms, free baggage carts, and a wide range of restaurants and souvenir shops. 👌 On the negative side, the connection (about 25 minutes) between the international terminal and the metro station located at the domestic terminal is a hassle. Passengers are forced to take a free shuttle bus, often standing with their luggage, just to cross the airfield. 🥴

Nothing beats a direct flight to FUK. Fukuoka Airport is probably Japan's best airport in terms of proximity to the city centre. It is so convenient! Some tips for the airport: When you enter the arrival lobby and see the information centre and Tully's, the JR pass exchange counter is to your left. Next to it is a seasonal fruit store where you can score some great tasting produce. The SIM card/WiFi counters are on the right towards Lawson. Straight ahead is the bus berth taking you to Hakata, Dazaifu, Yufuin (if you want to hit the ground running!) The newly opened Food Hall you heard about is located in the transit area of departure terminal. The subway is exactly located at the domestic terminal, so if that's your mode of transport, take a shuttle over where you can also purchase their regional IC card (nimoca). You can also purchase Sugoca from the bus ticketing counter facing the road. We took the airport bus to Hakata, a 15-20 minutes ride to Hakata station, a main transport hub of Kyushu. The bus isn't very well-equiped in terms of luggage space, like a pre-converted bus that hasn't decided to leave it's day job.

Hands down my favorite airport. Well maintained and clean. Easy immigration and security process. The view from the viewing platform is amazing. You can get there by a shuttle bus from kitakyushu train station. It takes about an hour to get there and costs around 1k yen. 10/10 airport

I feel like this is the most underrated airport. There are a few direct flights from Haneda Airport which I appreciated. This airport is very clean and have small but good souvenirs stores. and more importantly, I cannot say enough about how amazing the JAL staff are! Due to my health condition, I have to request wheelchair support and they have been the most thoughtful and kind staff I have ever come across with. They have coordinated with the bus company to make sure I can get on the bus seamlessly. I even received a thoughtful card from a staff. I’m truly grateful for the extra mile they take to make you feel special.

On Friday, October 25, 2024, at approximately 9:30 AM, I was scheduled to board flight LJ350 from Kitakyushu, Japan, to Seoul Incheon. Around 8:00 AM, I entered the airport security checkpoint, prepared with my mobile QR code as I had completed web check-in and did not require a printed boarding pass. Upon request, I turned on my phone to show the QR code. Shockingly, without a word or any explanation, the security staff member abruptly seized my phone from my hand and placed it in the security tray. Up until that moment, I had not spoken to the staff or even made eye contact, as I was simply conversing with my companion. My phone screen was still on, raising privacy concerns, and I instinctively reached out to turn it off. The security agent's expression immediately hardened, and he attempted to snatch the phone from me with increased force. When I resisted, he used even more strength to wrest it from my hand and put it back in the tray. His colleagues, all of whom witnessed this exchange, did nothing to intervene; one even offered an apologetic smile, yet none stepped in to stop this employee’s forceful and inappropriate behavior. This individual appeared to be a male in his 40s. What authority permits you to manhandle personal belongings without consent? What right do you have to treat a traveler’s possessions with aggression and such an intimidating attitude? Frankly, the behavior was reminiscent of a Yakuza rather than an airport security officer. After 15 years of traveling to over 30 countries on more than 300 business and personal trips, this is, without a doubt, one of the most egregious incidents I have encountered. I consider this a serious act of racial discrimination, and I will not return to Kitakyushu. I attempted to send you an email regarding this matter but couldn’t find a contact address. Have you removed your email because you receive complaints like this every day? I fully consent to the public release of the footage. If there is any suspicion that I am exaggerating or misrepresenting events, feel free to review and publish the footage immediately. The small, artificial island of Kitakyushu Airport seemed like it would be a beautiful and serene place. My first impression was exactly that. But this positive sentiment was ruined by one employee’s foolish, racially discriminatory conduct, which left a negative mark on the overall impression of your country. Was the friendliness I experienced in places like Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo, or even nearby Fukuoka simply a facade to welcome tourists? Do your other staff harbor the same prejudices as this individual? It is disappointing to witness such an unprofessional display from your staff and disheartening to realize that the training standards at your airport are this low.

Small but a very nice airport. Many bus routes to and from the airport, not so distant from city areas. If your destination in Kyushu are located in east side of the island, this is a good place to land.

This airport is by far great in my opinion. Even though it might not be the biggest, there is a observation deck for you to see. Not too far from Kitakyushu, easy access. I would give this airport a 5 star. There are direct flights to places in Japan such as Haneda, so do not worry.

Very typical Japanese rural airport. Nothing special, no uniqueness, bad access etc...

If you're going to Kitakyushu or Mojiko, fly here is much better, quieter and faster.

Early July 2025. Small airport. Airport bus took about 40 minutes to reach here. As the counters have opening hours and the international checkin is a small area, I didn’t know where the checkin counters were. I went up to the second floor where the actual departure custom is located. Then I went back to first floor realizing the closed area is actually the checkin counter. I can extrapolate that if the airport is crowded, it might be pretty long queue for airlines without dedicated counters. The international departure has only one duty free shop and one tea room for tea. If you want to shop or eat at restaurants, after the custom, you move to the left into the domestic departure area. Then you have to go through the scanning again when you come back to international departure area. So those pictures you saw about restaurants and shopping belong to the domestic departure area. If you do not have luggage, you may want to explore. I have hand carried stuffs and didn’t want the hassle of baggage check again. So what you see in my photos here are the whole area of international area. That’s all. Two minutes walk one round. If you want shopping, go and pop into local departure area.

A cheerful and convenient airport full of Kumamon charm and One Piece fun! Kumamoto Airport is a wonderful regional airport that perfectly captures the spirit of Kumamoto. As soon as you arrive, you’re greeted by Kumamon, the beloved bear mascot of the prefecture, along with One Piece-themed decorations throughout the terminal. The playful designs and cheerful atmosphere make travelers — both kids and adults — feel happy and excited from the moment they step inside. The airport is modern, clean, and easy to navigate. The first floor has several restaurants and souvenir shops, offering local specialties such as Kumamoto ramen and sweets, perfect for a quick meal before your flight or a last-minute gift. Domestic flight facilities are efficient, and check-in and security are generally smooth and well-organized. While it’s a smaller airport, it’s very well-equipped — there are convenient seating areas, charging points, and clear signage in English and Japanese. Transportation to and from the city is also straightforward, with bus connections to central Kumamoto. Overall, Kumamoto Airport combines functionality and local charm beautifully — a happy and welcoming gateway to Kyushu that leaves you smiling whether you’re arriving or departing.

Nestled in Mashiki, about 13 km northeast of Kumamoto city center, Kumamoto Airport serves as the main gateway to Kyushu and combines modern design with regional charm. Its new terminal, opened in March 2023, blends safety and aesthetics into a travel-friendly layout.

Small airport Domestic and international airport are same as the building. International airport gate will available for duty freeshop , the waiting seated room ,small macha tea cafe and vendingmashing ( can use the kakao pay)

Kumamoto Airport may not be as large as major hubs like Narita, but it offers an excellent travel experience. The airport is very clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant atmosphere for travelers. One thing that stood out to me was the kindness and helpfulness of the staff. When we arrived, our luggage was already lined up and neatly arranged a small detail, but it speaks volumes about the efficiency and respect embedded in Japanese culture. Everything felt organized and stress-free, making it a smooth start to our trip. Highly recommended for anyone traveling to Kumamoto!

Pretty awesome place to pay a visit with family! The airport is pretty compact and small, but it is really convenient.

God awful airport. Sign said international passengers could use the shopping in domeestic departures, i tried to do this only to be told to go away by security. You can't even go through security until 90 mins before intl flights. Shockingly bad representation of kunamoto's government. Airport bus is confusing too

Typical rural airport 35-40 mins to/from Nagasaki central area by bus Shops, cafes and restaurants available Good to use the ovservation deck with nice tarmac with sea view

Nice, clean, manageable. There are small SNA feast stores, convenient and cheap for an airport. Make sure you shop on the right side of the security control!

Nice and small airport. Pleasant observation deck!

It's a small but clean and tidy airport. Outside of the city and far away but there are limousine bus which are convenient. The airport atmosphere is nice and easily manageable They also set a nice observatory view which is great to have fresh air and kids can play. They also provided toilets there Ships and restaurants available Security check is easy and quick

I took the airport limousine bus (1200¥) within minutes of my plane's arrival from Tokyo. I bought the ticket from the vending machine and joined the Q at platform no. 5. I managed to secure a window seat. Those passengers who boarded later had to sit on seemingly uncomfortable seats in the middle row or in the aisle. I gave the ticket to the driver when I alighted at my stop-Chuobashi. If I'd dutifully topped up my IC card, I'd use the card instead.

Such nice view from both side of airport, please go up observation desk on 3/f for a look. Airport itself equips good transportation and signage. You can find shops and restaurant mainly on 2/f.

The Airport built in 1975 and supported a Concord has become small decades later. If taking an expensive taxi is not an option when traveling downtown ie the Shinchimachi, the only convenient traveling to and from the Airport is to use its 20-minute interval limousine bus costing just Yen 900 each way (around 80 minutes). I bought a ticket upon departure on Nov 23, 2018 and when I returned on November 27, I paid cash when alighting!
