Shika Island
志賀島Fukuoka · Kyushu
Shikanoshima is a small island 11 km around, connected to the Fukuoka mainland by the scenic Umi no Nakamichi causeway. It is where the Gold Seal of the King of Na — a 2,000-year-old national treasure granted by Han China — was unearthed in 1784, now held at Fukuoka City Museum. The island is home to Shikaumi Shrine and quiet fishing-village lanes off the main coast road, with views across Hakata Bay in every direction.
