Sakurai Futamigaura's Couple Stones (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is Sakurai Futamigaura's Couple Stones?
There are no nursing rooms, changing tables, or stroller rentals; paths are mostly flat but beach sand is rough, so brief sightseeing is possible yet comfort and hygiene for babies are poor.
Positives:
- Stroller-friendly access: Paved paths lead directly to viewpoints and shrine grounds without steps.
- Short walking distances: All key spots lie within a 500 m loop ideal for toddlers and naps.
Challenges:
- No on-site baby facilities: Restrooms lack changing tables and nursing rooms; bring your own supplies.
- Tide-dependent beach access: Low tide reveals sandbars but high tide closes off flat areas—check schedules.

a good place to visit if you rent a hotel or resort near here. not highly recommended for those who stay in fukuoka center then making a trip here cause it quiet an effort to do so. check the weather on your phone with Itoshima location before you go to make sure you are on the sunset time. mine were 19:31 so i missed it

There are two restaurants near...

About an hour drive from Fukuoka. Plenty of parking just opposite with public toilet. You need to queue to take picture we waited about 30 mins.. but totally worth it.. nice seafood restaurant nearby window table longer waiting time waited about 45 mins again totally worth it..

Lots of tourists and cafes around. You may find restaurants that are equally nice than the popular seafood restaurant. Overall it’s a very nice and chill beach which resembles Hawaii/ Australia 😊 Do note that everywhere requires parking fee.
