Why go to Itoshima
Itoshima is a laid-back coastal area just outside Fukuoka city, known for beaches, cafés and local produce. It is one of the easiest ways to see rural Kyushu in a single day.
Getting there
- This is a road-trip plan: rent a car near Hakata Station (an international driving permit is required for most visitors).
- From Hakata: about 40 minutes to 1 hour by car to the Itoshima coast.
- Fukuoka Airport is only a few subway stops from Hakata Station.
Tips for avoiding the crowds
- The coast is busiest on summer weekends; weekdays and the off-season are much calmer.
- Parking near popular cafés fills up around lunchtime, so visit them before noon.
- Remember that Japan drives on the left.
