Shikaka Beach
Shikaka Beach is ideal for those that don’t have a car or a friend with a car, but want to find a nice quiet beach with clean water. It is not a surfing beach, although there is a surfable beach further down at a car rest stop if you don’t mind a long walk. Shikaka Beach is probably not the real name of the beach I am referring to in this post but it’s the name that was given by many English Teachers due to it’s proximity to Shikaka Station.
JR Chikuhi Line Picture
Shikaka Station is a very, very small station on the JR line heading toward Karatsu on the Chikuhi Line. It is so small that their isn’t usually any staff to take your ticket. From Tenjin to Shikaka takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending how efficient your are at using public transport in Japan. If you are smart you will wait for a train that says Karatsu on it so you don’t have to change trains, but it’s not that important since changing trains at Meinohama isn’t that complex.
Once you are at Shikaka Station just walk down the hill and cross over 202 and you will see the beach. There is no special place to put down your beach towel, just find a place that looks good to you and enjoy the sun and fun of the beach. I recommend that you go with a bunch of people and you bring a lunch or some snacks and of course some water and sunscreen, as there aren’t many places to buy things.
