We'll meet up at 9am.

The trip from JR Hakata Station to JR Fukuma Station is a convenient and straightforward journey. It takes just 20 minutes by train. The route travels north through suburban and coastal towns, a scenic and rapid way to reach our starting point.

David will meet us at Fukuma Station and bring us to his place, where our brand new eBikes and helmets await.

Miyata Cruise eBikes: Designed to provide a comfortable and easy riding experience with a focus on smoothness and stability, equipped with electric assist, allowing riders to cover longer distances with less effort.

The Katsura Coastline in Munakata, Fukuoka, is a picturesque stretch of rugged coastline along the Genkai Sea, known for its dramatic cliffs, rocky outcrops, and clear blue waters. Our route offers panoramic views of the ocean and nearby islands. We pass by secluded beaches, enjoying the serene sounds of the waves and the fresh sea breeze.

We'll stop by the farmer's market and grab some light snacks and a drink before reaching our destination, Sushi Yatai. This amazing seaside sushi bar is known for fresh, high-quality sushi made with the finest ingredients sourced directly from the nearby Genkai Sea. A casual dining experience, visitors will enjoy first-rate sushi while soaking in the coastal views. Sushi Yatai is a favorite spot for both locals and tourists looking to taste the flavors of the region.

Afterwards, we'll roll to a nearby local cafe for coffee and homemade scones!

Just before we reach JR Fukuma Station, upon our return, we'll visit Miyajidake Shrine, located in Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture. This renowned Shinto shrine is famous for its stunning views of the "Path of Light," a straight road leading from the shrine to the sea, beautifully illuminated by the setting sun twice a year. Miyajidake Shrine is also known for its giant shimenawa (sacred straw rope), one of the largest in Japan, which symbolizes protection and purification. Visitors come to the shrine to pray for success, good fortune, and safe travels, as it is dedicated to the deity Empress Jingu.

By this time, after riding and enjoying the sites, the evening sun will be setting at Fukuma Beach. Join the myriad locals and visitors who gather to watch extraordinary sunsets, an almost surreal and unforgettable experience at this seaside town. After the sun goes down, join us for an optional dinner at a local cafe or return to Hakata Station.
