MK’s General Fukuoka Course takes you deep into Kyushu’s soul—Dazaifu’s literary shrine, Kamado’s mystical mountain, the Couple Stones by the sea, a noble family’s living legacy, and a forest that whispers Ghibli dreams. This isn’t sightseeing. It’s memory. Story. Spirit. All delivered with MK’s signature comfort and cultural insight—no transfers, no timetables. Just time, slowed and sacred.

Tucked within Kaya Daimon Park in Itoshima, Totoro Forest is an unofficial Ghibli homage that stirs childhood memory and spiritual wonder. A camellia-lined tunnel evokes the magic of My Neighbor Totoro, where sunlight filters like grace through the canopy. With the Genkai Sea beyond and the scent of nostalgia in the air, this quiet forest path invites you to wander, reflect, and remember the beauty of what once was—or what we wish had been.

Step into the legacy of Tachibana-tei Ohana, a historic samurai residence in Yanagawa where centuries of faith, duty, and memory converge. From Edo-era corridors to Meiji-era guesthouses, this living mansion tells a story of spiritual tension, inherited power, and enduring presence. Guided by the 18th-generation heir, visitors are invited to walk through time, where the past presses softly into the present—waiting to be felt.

Kamado Shrine in Fukuoka is no ordinary shrine—it’s split between the base and summit of Mt. Hōman, one of Japan’s sacred mountains. Long associated with love, protection, and mysticism, it honors Tamayorihime, mother of Emperor Jimmu. From ancient rituals to anime pilgrimages, this shrine fuses history, folklore, and design into one unforgettable experience.

On the edge of Fukuoka’s Itoshima Peninsula, Sakurai Futamigaura’s Couple Stones rise from the sea—bound by rope, framed by a torii, and bathed in myth. Said to represent Izanagi and Izanami, Japan’s divine creators, these sacred rocks draw lovers and seekers alike. Whether for the solstice sunrise or a sunset stroll, this stop on MK’s 5-hour Itoshima Course reminds us that beauty, belief, and love are never far apart.
