Futamiura in Fukuoka Prefecture is located in the northern part of Itoshima City, right in the Genkai Quasi-National Park. There is a super beautiful sunset spot here. It has also been selected as one of the "100 Best Seaside Spots in Japan" and "100 Best Sunset Spots in Japan". It is definitely a must-visit spot for sightseeing in Fukuoka Prefecture!
Opposite the white torii gate, there is a huge Meet and Meet Rock, which looks like a pair of lovers leaning against each other, which is really romantic. Meotoiwa is about 150 meters from the coast, and the two rocks are connected by a shimen rope. This is not only the sacred place of Sakurai Shrine, but also because successive Kuroda lords have shown great respect for it, it is also called Sakurai Futamigaura.
There are many trendy cafes and restaurants around, it is very popular! Especially during the summer solstice, if you have time, you can wait until the sun sets between the Couple Rocks, creating a mysterious atmosphere. Before sunrise and after sunset, the sky turns deep blue. This period of time is called the "blue hour", and the scenery is dreamy and amazing. Many photographers also come here specifically to capture this beautiful moment.
📍Address: Shimasakurai, Itoshima, Fukuoka 819-1304 Japan
