Nata Kaigan 奈多海岸
In the Edo period the Nata coast was one of the eight views of Hakata, under the name Nata Rakugan, and its white sand dunes run for more than 10 km to the island of Shikanoshima.
A stretch of coast in Higashi Ward, Fukuoka City, facing Hakata Bay and connected by land to the island of Shikanoshima. The white sand dunes run for more than 10 km towards Shikanoshima. In the Edo period the coast was known as Nata Rakugan (奈多落雁) and was counted among the eight views of Hakata (博多八景). On the dune, above the pine grove, stands Shiki Shrine (志式神社). One stretch of the beach, eroded by the currents, forms a wall of sand nicknamed the ‘Nata Fault’, described as one of the best-known photo spots in the city.
