From my point of view 🙂
“Nokonoshima” is one of the small islands located in the middle of Hakata Bay in Fukuoka City. Because it is the easy to access from the city, very popular for the self day trip from the city.
“Nokonoshima Island Park” is the easy and nice facility for tourists located on the top hill. You can spend a day to go around the park, enjoy the lunch, and relax laying down the lawn. Since the restaurants are quite expensive, it may be good idea to bring your lunch and picnic blanket.
It is just a short distance away from the city but you can feel far away from the city by viewing the city over the ocean.
Thank you for reading my report. 🙂
