To fully enjoy Fukue Island, renting a car is the best option, as the island is relatively small and public buses run infrequently, often missing many popular tourist spots. Having your own vehicle allows you to explore at your own pace and reach more remote and scenic areas.
Kojushi Beach
Kojushi Beach (香珠子海水浴場, こうじゅしかいすいよくじょう) is a serene stretch of coastline just a short drive from the heart of Fukue town. Sheltered by rolling hills and surrounded by natural beauty, the beach becomes a seasonal hub of summer activity during July and August. Families and solo travelers alike are drawn to its gentle waves, shallow waters, and soft white sand—ideal for swimming, sunbathing, or simply relaxing by the sea. During the summer months, the beach is fully equipped with toilets, showers, and a seaside restaurant, adding comfort to its natural charm.
What sets Kojushi apart is its celebration of local flavors. The beachfront restaurant serves somen noodles, a refreshing chilled dish that captures the essence of a Japanese summer. Just a short walk away, Tsubakichaya—an intimate, reservation-only restaurant—offers seasonal meals made with locally sourced ingredients, showcasing the island’s culinary traditions. Nearby, a small souvenir shop features local crafts and Goto specialties, rounding out Kojushi Beach as a destination that blends seaside relaxation with cultural discovery.
