There is a PINK DOOR(Anywhere door in DORAEMON) facing to the sea.
“Sakurai Futamigaura”, one of the representative scenic spots in Itoshima City.
It has long been regarded as a sacred place as the shrine site of Sakurai Shrine
(Nationally Designated Important Cultural Property).
The couple rock of the sacred body floating about 150 meters off the coast, and the rock on the right (male rock) is 11.8 m high, and the rock on the left (female rock) is 11.2 m high.
KEYA NO OOTO
Itoshima’s scenic spot “Keya no Daimon”.
This strange rock has a cave with a height of 64 meters and a depth of 90 meters from the sea, but you can only see it from a pleasure boat.
”Totoro Forest in Itoshima”
Mataichi’s salt factory
15 minutes to run from Keya no Daimon.
There is a “Mataichi Salt Factory” in the back of the peninsula.
Natural salt made by making old-fashioned salt.
You can buy various kinds of salt at the salt mill as souvenirs.
The pudding eaten with salt is also exquisite.
Restaurant “HARERUYA”
Today’s lunch is at the restaurant “Harereya”.
It’s popular and small restaurant, so It’s always full even though it’s a weekday.
I waited about 15 minutes.
Oyster Nanban set meal is 1200 yen. Full of volume.
Karatsu Burger Matsubara Main Store
Niji no Matsubara’s specialty.
“Karatsu Burger” main store.
Kitchen car in Matsubara.
A popular spot where many bikers visit.
NIJI NO MATSUBARA
Rainbow Matsubara.
Matsubara, which lasts about 4.5 km, is one of the three major a pine-covered area in Japan.
HUNTER CUB and CROSSCUB in Pine forest.
Even on the sand,easy to drive.
Take National Route 202 to Fukuoka
The old road (Karatsu Kaido) is always heavy traffic because it runs through Itoshima city center and it has only one lane.
Go through Uminonakamichi to Shikaumi Shrine
Cross the middle road of the sea to Shikaumi Shrine.
Umi no Nakamichi is also perfect for touring.
Shikanoshima, which shines in the sunset at dusk, was very beautiful.
I can’t visit because I don’t have time.
I hope to visit, if I have a chance to come again.
From Shigaumi Shrine to Rental 819 Hakata
The time to return the motorcycle is approaching.
I hurried home and went straight back to the motorcycle shop.
Summary
Day touring with a total distance of 177 km.
There are many touring courses in Kyushu including Aso, but this touring course in Fukuoka is also a recommended course that is not inferior to others.
If you drive 40 minutes from the city, it is a scenic spot full of nature.
Stylish cafes and restaurants create the atmosphere of a tropical resort.
In addition to food and sightseeing in the city, if you have a day, I surely recommend to go for motorbike touring.
You can discover other aspect of FUKUOKA, a resort area full of nature.
