Okinoshima Island

Located about 70 kilometers north-northwest of Fukuoka City, Okinoshima Island was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 2017. There is no public transportation to access the island, which takes about two hours by boat.

You will see large schools of sea squirts, hawks, and hawk eels, as well as large migratory fish such as Hiramasa and kangpachi. You can also enjoy the colorful landscape where red snapper and yellow snapper are swarming among the colorful soft corals.
