Nokonoshima Island Park

It was a great day at the park! Beautiful views and cute animals :) I would probably recommend going during Spring more, as, despite there being some flowers, the actual flower fields weren’t in bloom. So, a visit during late August may not be 100% be worth the price. Still enjoyed my time there a lot!

It was a peaceful and relaxing visit. Bought tickets from vending machine using credit card. Roundtrip for one adult is ¥460. After arriving at the island, we took a bus to the flower park. Bus timings shown in picture at the end. Quite a big place to explore and there are eateries to have tea and lunch. There are playgrounds and swings around for kids and adults as well. Visited on 24 June 2024. Hydrangeas and marigold in bloom.

My recommendation would be to take the bus to the flower field and walk the rest by foot if you can. Stop by the beach and enjoy the view. Then walk 40 minutes on downhill / flat land all the way to the village. The view and architecture is beautiful and you can even watch the islander work if you’re lucky. Beautiful and calm island. A little paradise half an hour away from Fukuoka. The people were really nice :)

Would definitely discourage people coming here during the summer though. Sun was too hot and piercing. Flowers and trees were withered up. Highly recommend to come back during spring for the flowers.

Half day trip from Fukuoka and really easy to get to. The ferry was cheap and the bus took you straight to the park. Perfect for families or couples
