What you'll see and do
Shiraito Falls
Begin your journey at 9:00 AM from the Lawson at Oriental Hotel Fukuoka Hakata Station. 10:00 Discover the Beauty of Shiraito Falls in Itoshima Escape the city and immerse yourself in the refreshing nature of Itoshima’s hidden gem—Shiraito Falls, located halfway up Mt. Hagane at 900 meters above sea level. Recognized as a scenic spot by Fukuoka Prefecture, this beautiful 24-meter waterfall lives up to its name, as the water flows down like fine white silk threads. In the summer, the cool mist and powerful spray offer a refreshing break from the heat, filling the air with negative ions and the soothing sounds of nature. It's the perfect spot to relax, recharge, and connect with the outdoors. Just steps from the parking area, you’ll find a peaceful walking trail where you can enjoy the gentle murmur of streams and the melodies of birds in the forest. Don’t forget your camera—every turn offers a picture-perfect view worth capturing.

Next, explore Raizan Sennyoji Daihiōin, one of the region’s top fall foliage spots. Admire the grand 4-meter tall wooden statue of the Thousand-Armed Kannon and the 500 Rakan statues along the mountain slope. This temple dates back to 742 AD, with many cultural treasures including nationally designated Important Cultural Properties. Don’t miss the 400-year-old maple tree—especially breathtaking during November’s peak foliage—and the sacred 900-year-old ginkgo tree further up the hill.（Ticket is excluded)

Itoshima
***Reminder: from Nov.1st, Go to Romantic Hidden Gem in Itoshima – The Coconut Tree Swing. Just a short 1-hour drive from Fukuoka City, you’ll find a seaside paradise that looks straight out of Hawaii. Between two tall coconut trees hangs a simple wooden swing — once you push off, it feels like you’re flying straight into the ocean. The sea breeze, the sound of waves, and the golden sunlight make every moment here feel like a scene from a dream.

Totoro's Forest
Then, step into a scene straight out of a Studio Ghibli film. Hidden inside Keya no Ōto Park, this forest trail surrounded by thick coastal brush resembles the mysterious Totoro forest. With sunlight barely peeking through the lush canopy, the path is a magical spot perfect for photos and imagination alike.
40 minutes here
Sakurai Futamigaura
Visit one of Fukuoka's most iconic spiritual landmarks: the Meoto Iwa "Wedded Rocks", connected by a sacred rope, just off the coast. Framed by a stunning white torii gate and blue ocean, this is a popular power spot for love and good fortune. Known historically as a gateway to the Dragon Palace, the site is especially photogenic in all seasons.

A comprehensive walking tour.
The highlight of the tour was Chris and his extensive knowledge of the city. The way he explained the little details about the city and its history made it feel special. I want to thank the agency and Chris for being so quick and accommodating when they rescheduled my tour the first time.

Very good day , Edward is very informative and helpful , the bus ride is very comfortable. A very enjoyable day

Well worth the money
Highlight was definitely the temple, stunning place. The monks blessing and the inner sanctum worth the cost alone. Our guide Cico was friendly and informative. Possibly the last beach stop was unnecessary. Fukuoka tower was great.

Relaxing day out near Fukuoka
Enjoyable trip for the most past. In particular the ancient Buddhist temple with the 400 year old Maple tree.. This was the highlight of the trip. The waterfall was pretty. The first beach stop - was worth the short walk to observation point. Less than 10 mins up. Second beach very pretty with white tori gate and couples rock. Several good lunch options. Would have preferred to skip the next beach. Really a children’s playground Fukuoka tower was worth the extra 1000yen. Spectacular views. Thanks again to Emily. Great guide.

Great way to see Fukuoka and surrounding areas!
Had a great time on this tour. Covered a lot of ground and it was a full day, but very worth it as we would have had no idea how to get to these places on our own. Our guide, Emily was knowledgable, and catered to the different language speakers on our tour. The air conditioned bus was a welcome reprieve in between spots on a hot day. I would highly recommend this tour if you are in Fukuoka for a short time and would like to make the most of your time there.

How long does From Fukuoka Kyushu Itoshima Hidden Gems Day Tour take?

+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 36 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Fukuoka, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Fukuoka can sell out a month out.

What should I bring or wear?

When is the best time to visit Fukuoka?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Fukuoka?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
