Details

Fukuoka’s hidden gem is the Itoshima peninsula and was announced as one of the 100 most beautiful sunset views and one of the 100 best beaches in Japan ⛱️

Many people visit this spot for the out-of-this-world experience of watching the sunset between the Futamigaura Couple Stones, which are a symbol of happy marriage 🌅

The two rocks are said to represent deities from Japanese mythology, Izanagi and Izanami, with the Shimenawa (Shinto straw rope), symbolising the union and connection between these two Gods. Both the view and the history and meaning attached to this spot are romantic, making it an often-visited spot by couples and families 💍💜
