From the Fukuoka World / Areas

Higashi-ku (東区)

Higashi-ku stretches from eastern Fukuoka toward the Uminonakamichi waterfront and Shikanoshima. Its coastal sites suit a separate outing more than a quick detour through the city center.

Why go

Use this ward to plan a day around the coast: Uminonakamichi and Marine World form one pairing, while Shikanoshima offers shoreline scenery and Gold Seal Park. Hakozaki Shrine and Kashii-gū provide a different, inland focus, so choose the part of Higashi-ku that matches your day.

What to look for

  • Shikanoshima combines a coastal setting with Gold Seal Park.
  • Uminonakamichi's waterfront sits near Marine World.
  • Hakozaki Shrine and Kashii-gū give the ward an inland historical thread.

Useful to know

  • Treat Uminonakamichi and Shikanoshima as a coastal outing rather than an add-on to central sightseeing.
  • Check each museum or attraction separately; the ward itself has no single admission or timetable.
