Umi no Nakamichi

Sand spits extend towards Hakata Bay at Saitozaki (西戸崎) in the west and Gan no Su (雁の巣) in the east, with the former exceeding 2 kilometers in width.

The easternmost part contains the Fukuoka City Karasu no Su Recreation Center, and to the west are Uminonakamichi Seaside Park, Marine World (aquarium), Nishidozaki Seaside Country Club, Crane Fukuoka (horseback riding), and other recreational activities.

The Chikuzen no Kuni Fudoki fragment records that the villagers were already calling it by this name at that time.

For sea transportation, the city-operated ferry runs between Bayside Place Hakata Pier in Hakata Ward and Nishidozaki/Shikanoshima, while Yasuda Sangyo Steamship operates to routes under the name "Uminaka Line" from Bayside Place Hakata Pier and from Marizon in Seaside Momochi, Sawara Ward, to the Uminonakamichi Ferry Terminal.
