📍【First stop: Keiyu Gate Basalt Cave】
▪️ Transportation: Take a taxi from JR to Shime Station for 10 minutes (💰about 1,500 yen)
▪️ Must-see: The 64-meter-high Dark Cave faces the Genkai Beach. When the midday sun shines obliquely, the bottom of the cave glows blue!
▪️ Photo spots: The rocks on the right side of the cave entrance, take panoramic photos with the sea and sky as the frame; capture the splashing waves in the cracks of the rocks inside the cave
💡Tips: Wear non-slip shoes! The cave is humid; it is recommended to bring a jacket as the sea breeze is very cool

🍜【Second stop: Ichiran no Mori Factory Store】
▪️ Recommendation: Limited edition black garlic oil ramen + half-cooked tamagoyaki, factory direct sales are cheaper than in the city!
▪️ Hidden ways to play: Visit the Ramen History Gallery and buy limited-edition merchandise (fridge magnets are super cute!)
▪️ Address: 20 minutes by car from Keiya, it is recommended to reserve a seat in advance

⛩️【Third stop: Sakurai Futamigaura Rock】
▪️ Transportation: 15 minutes by taxi, free parking
▪️ Camera location strategy:

1. The slope in front of the Torii gate, low-angle upward shooting shows its imposingness

2. Take a silhouette photo of the reefs on the right with the Torii as the background

3. The shallows exposed at low tide are perfect for taking pictures of reflections!
💡Tips: The light is best between 3-4 pm, avoid the midday overhead light

🏖️【Fourth stop: PLAM BEACH & SUNSET】
▪️ Beach: Few people, fine sand, you can rent a transparent paddle board to play SUP (💰500 yen/30 minutes)
▪️ SUNSET check-in point: The white bus stop sign on the side of the road, the pink and purple sunset in the evening is super dreamy!

📌【Practical Tips】
▫️ Transportation advice: Renting a car is the most convenient! Buses run every 1 hour (refer to the Chikushi Bus timetable)
▫️ Outfit: light-colored long skirt + straw hat, dark style for cave photos and fresh style for beach photos
▫️ Budget: 3,000 yen per person (including transportation + food)

🌅The charm of Itoshima lies in the wildness of the blend of mountains and sea, which has both the uncanny workmanship of nature and the delicate romance of Japanese aesthetics. Whether you are listening to the waves in the cave or waiting for the sunset in front of the torii, this place can let you completely escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
