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.
