The natural charm of Noko Island
Nokoshima Island is an outlying island in Fukuoka Prefecture, just a 10-minute boat ride from Fukuoka. Here, rapeseed flowers, cherry blossoms, cosmos, daffodils, and other flowers bloom in all four seasons, making it feel like a giant garden for the people of Fukuoka. The island also has a marine park where, in spring, one can enjoy both cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers, creating a stunning contrast with the blue of Hakata Bay.
Whether it's the golden sea of flowers in spring, the sunflowers in summer, or the cosmos in autumn, Nonoko Island is a fantastic place to enjoy flowers all year round. The island also has a zoo and pottery classrooms, making it an ideal choice for family trips.
