Comments:
- Comfortable seaside run along Hakata Bay, passing by a few beaches and at half way point, there is a shopping outlet where you can shop if you do a 5km run instead.
- On the way back, I run into the town for a shortcut, it's a new and middle upper class neighbourhood with nice houses and roads.
- I run in the morning after breakfast at nearby hotel, otherwise it's also good for sunset run.
Start point of my run, my hotel - Hilton Fukuoka Seahawk on the right.
Arriving the seaside, take the path on your left.
After turning left, you will see Fukuoka Tower in front of you.
Local runner passing by.
run along the beachside, with Marizon Pier on the right.
run along the beach until the end and turn left.
You will run along this side until you reach the bridge, and then cross it to the other side.
There is a highway on top of the running path, and you take the one underneath at the end.
turn right and run onto the bridge.
After passing the bridge, you enter a narrow path where you see nice houses on the left.
Keep running and reach some taller mansions along seaside.
turn left once u arrived the end of the road and enter into another beach.
love the trees on this beach, they stand in a handsome way!
After passing the second beach, you arrive the yacht pier, and see the fairy wheel where the outlet is located.
Crossing the bridge and run towards the outlet.
Arriving Marinoa City Outlet which you may stop for 5km run, or take a rest and continue to make a roundtrip.
Instead of going back to seaside, I run along Marina-Dori on the way back.
It's a high class neighbourhood so it's quite calm and houses are lovely.
Met another local runner on the street.
Passing by the Sazae-san Dori, where you see Fukuoka Tower again from a different side.
I really love the outlook of the building on the right, it's like a big blue heart.
Almost arrive the start point as I see my hotel again, and found a beautiful sakura tree!
Finally arrived back to start point, with a great view of the Yohuoku! Dome! nice morning run along Hakata Bay!
