    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.

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)

    13:50 Next, 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.
