Nokonoshima Island

A good half day trip for your Fukuoka stay. 10 minutes boat ride from Meinohama ferry and another 10 mins shuttle ride from the ferry station to the park. Beautiful landscapes and great view of Fukuoka bay area. Park features different flowers around the year, dependent on the season. There’s a nice grill restaurant where we ate.

It is a peaceful and beautiful island. If you are a traveller in Fukuoka, it is a must visit. It doesn’t cost that much but the scenery this place can offer is top tier. The sunflower is in season of summer and every different season they offer different flowers. They also have restaurants and offer sumptuous meals and recreational activities you may enjoy.

Wonderful flower park with varios flower fields and amazing sea view so close to Fukuoka city

The island is so peaceful. We rented bike for 1000yen near the port. Had a hard time riding a bike uphill since I get tired easily and it’s a hot summer day. But riding a bike downhill is an amazing experience, best decision than riding a bus. We get to roam around the island on our own time. The staff at the bike rental gave us a map showing the bike trail separated from the main road. The staff can speak a little english as well. They are very kind. Once we arrived at the Island Park, there’s a free wifi. Overall this is the main highlight of our Fukuoka Trip, the most memorable and serene island we’ve ever visited.

Nice place to visit but be cautious in planning as the ferry departs every hour however the shuttle bus might not be matching the ferry schedule

A beautiful island that is quiet, tranquil and yet has sufficient attractions on it to make it worth a visit. Arrival is by ferry from Meinohama Ferry Terminal and there is an island wide bus service. However do be prepared for long walks which can prove interesting n rewarding. There are many fruit n vegetable farms along the roads. Major attractions are the Nokonoshima Island Park which is filled with beautiful flower beds in Spring, truly a gorgeous park which is well maintained n planned. There are food outlets n ample toilets there. The island is also suitable for camping and seaside bathing n there is a seaside camp(families/children) where one can make enquiries. The beaches are clean n have palm trees swaying in the breeze, very much like a beach resort. The Island is definitely worth a day trip n is highly recommended.

Beautiful place but no cherry blossom yet. We went on 20 March 2022. Only rapseed flower available now. The ticket price is 1200 yen, little bit expensive I think. Ferry fare is 230 yen and the bus fare from ferry terminal to nokonoshima park is 240 yen. You can check the detailed time tables on their website. Also check the flower status properly before you go there. The park looks so dull without the flowers.

Had a long and relaxing walk. Very quiet place with a great view. Half day tour is enough but they have Cafes and souvenir shop inside if you want to stay longer. Also nice place to have a picnic. Definitely one of the best places ive been to in Fukuoka.
