Fukuoka Coastal Day Trip: Itoshima Scenery, Yobuko Market & Squid Feast

Yobuko Morning Market

As one of Japan's three prominent historic morning markets, this lively market is located along a picturesque fishing port. It is well-known for its fresh seafood—especially squid—providing visitors with a genuine insight into local maritime traditions and coastal cuisine.

Nagoya Castle Ruins & Nagoya Castle Museum

Discover the remarkable historic site of Nagoya Castle, built in 1591 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Guests can stroll through the splendid original stone walls while enjoying expansive views of the ocean. The nearby museum features informative exhibits that highlight the history of diplomatic relations and cultural exchange between Japan and the Korean Peninsula.

Squid Cuisine

Karatsu and Yobuko are renowned throughout Japan for their fresh squid (Ika). You will have the opportunity to savor 'Ika no Ikizukuri'—a delicately translucent, live-prepared squid served immediately after being caught. It is exceptionally sweet and crunchy! The remaining parts are often transformed into crispy tempura.

Itoshima Cafe

Itoshima is a beloved coastal retreat in Fukuoka! Known for its fashionable seaside cafes featuring chic interiors and breathtaking ocean views, it’s an ideal place to unwind with a cup of coffee, indulge in tasty desserts, and take a moment to relax right by the beach.
