Fukuma

Ena and I cycled all the way to Tsuyazaki today, which is the furthest we have travelled by bike so far - almost half way to KitaKyushu!

There was some amazing scenery there that made the trip (and the sore knees) worth it. Our first visit was to a seaside park with some nice views of the ocean and coastline:
A lot of people were fishing there:

Then we went to Fukuma beach, which is a popular spot for windsurfing and is lined with nice little restaurants:
Some of the windsurfers:
We then passed a fishing market and wharf:
We then climbed a nearby mountain that rose out of the sea on a small penninsula. At the top of the mountain was a park with a Japanese Navy monument:

There was also a little old lighthouse perched halfway up the mountain:

There were some great views of Ainoshima island as well:
