Nokonoshima Island
能古島
A small island in Hakata Bay, reached by ferry in about 10 minutes. The seasonal flower fields of Nokonoshima Island Park and the city skyline across the bay are the highlights.
Nokonoshima Island lies in Hakata Bay. A ferry from the Meinohama ferry terminal takes about 10 minutes, at about 230 yen one way. The island's main attraction is Nokonoshima Island Park. Flowers cover the slopes facing the sea: rapeseed in March, cherry blossoms in April, sunflowers in August and September, and cosmos in October. Across the water are downtown Fukuoka and Fukuoka Tower. The park has a retro village street, an animal contact area and restaurants. Admission is about 1,500 yen. The Nokonoshima Museum and a seaside path are also on the island. Getting there: take a bus from Meinohama Station on the Airport Line to the ferry terminal, or take a Nishitetsu bus directly from Tenjin. From the port to the island park, the bus takes about 15 minutes.
