Overview
A nature park on the northern tip of Nokonoshima, a 12km-round island just a 10-minute ferry from the city. Its charm is four seasons of flowers against the sea — rapeseed and cherry in spring, sunflowers in summer, cosmos in autumn, narcissus in winter — plus thatched teahouses, relocated old farmhouses and a petting corner that suit the island's unhurried pace. The easiest island escape you can make in half a day from downtown Fukuoka.
