During the Obon season, I visited Nokoshima without much research. Unfortunately, most of the restaurants near the ferry terminal were closed. Feeling disappointed, I decided to try Nokoburger, and it turned out to be a great choice! The juicy patty with sweet onions was exquisite. Thank you for the meal.

It's incredibly delicious! Whenever I go back from work to Nokonoshima, I make sure to stop by here! The burgers are homemade and truly delicious! The vegetables are crispy lettuce and juicy tomatoes! I could eat this burger over and over again! By the way, the soft serve ice cream is also delicious! Eating it while looking at the sea is a blissful time.

Last week, I visited Nokonoshima Island Park in Fukuoka, which is about a 10-minute boat ride from the city. It was my first outing in a long time, and I was really excited. Nokonoshima Island holds memories of dates with my husband and school field trips. I decided to try the Nokono Burger, which is a popular item on the island. The burger was thick with a surprising amount of onions and a patty that lacked seasoning, except for black pepper. It was juicy and tender, with a homemade feel. The mustard and black pepper gave it a spicy kick. Overall, it was a unique and satisfying burger experience.

I visited a restaurant at the port of Nokonoshima while waiting for the ferry back. It is located inside a building called "Nokonoichi" attached to the ferry terminal. They have a variety of souvenir shops. The main dish is the Noko Burger, made with Kyushu Wagyu beef. However, I had just eaten a lot of fish at a nearby restaurant, so I only had a hot coffee this time. It was a unique experience to enjoy the coffee while looking at the cityscape of Hakata across the sea. Time seems to flow more slowly on remote islands than on the mainland. It was raining a little and quite cold, so the hot coffee was delicious. Apart from burgers, they also have sundaes and other sweet treats. Nokonoshima is a natural paradise despite being close to a big city. A great place to visit! <(_ _)>

I grew up in Toyora Town, Yamaguchi Prefecture, with a population of 15,000 people. It takes about 30 minutes by car from my hometown to reach Shimonoseki, the largest city in Yamaguchi Prefecture with a population of 250,000. At 19, I left home and moved to Kitakyushu City, a city with a population of 1 million. The crowdedness and tall buildings were overwhelming. At 26, I moved to Fukuoka City, a city with a population of 1.6 million, which is about 1.5 times the size of Kitakyushu but feels like 50 times more urban. I was almost in tears every day due to the large number of people. I fell in love with Nokonoshima, a place where the past, present, and future coexist, with modern high-rise buildings alongside Edo-era post towns and traditional fishing ports. I finally visited Nokonoshima, a 10-minute boat ride from Nokonoshima. I decided to rent a bicycle for 500 yen per hour, which was much cheaper than the 2,000 yen for Shikanoshima. I inexplicably decided to ride a bike to the observatory, climbing slopes with over 30 degrees of incline. However, the view from the observatory was not as impressive as I had imagined, just climbing a lighthouse-like structure. I then visited Hayata Kofun, completely hidden in the bushes, but it was too dangerous to go further with my light equipment. I descended the mountain and ordered a Nokonoshima burger. It had a juicy patty with plenty of black pepper, crispy bread, sweet tomato, spicy onion, and the black pepper interfering with the patty's umami. It was quite a junky Nokonoshima burger. In a burger showdown in Fukuoka's Nishi Ward, I would prefer Ikimatsu Burger from Nishi Ward over Nokonoshima Burger. My favorite is still the Sasebo Burger. The view of the port has become stylish with the establishment of 5th Avenue. I enjoy the giant burgers with a total weight of over 500g at Log Kit or the Wagyu beef patty burger at Cafe Libera near Sasebo Station. Hikari's 5th Avenue store may not be the best, but I still find myself stopping by on my way from Ramen Toride to Sasebo Station. Nonetheless, my first visit to Nokonoshima was enjoyable. I have to go back to try the hot dog at Hironoko Market.

I took a ferry from Mihama to Nokojima. When I arrived at the pier on Nokojima, I immediately saw a sign for "Noko Burger." Since I was about to walk around the hilly terrain of Nokojima, I decided to have a meal first. I tried the Noko Burger and a sweet summer orange juice. The Noko Burger is cooked without oil, so it has a simple and healthy taste. The natural sweetness of the onions also comes through nicely, making it delicious. The sweet summer orange juice is made from Nokojima-grown summer oranges, so it has a rich sweetness. It was a good energy boost. Now, I'm off to explore Nokojima on foot! LOL.

Next to the Nokojima Ferry Terminal, there was a shop and a café. While waiting for my ferry back, I bought a "Nokojima Cider" at the café. It's a cute carbonated drink with Nokojima and a ship drawn on the bottle label. The outbound ferry was the "Rainbow Noko", but the return ferry was the "Flower Noko". I had a yuzu juice on the outbound ferry, but I had cider on the return ferry. The label of the drink water looked great against the backdrop of the sea and the island scenery.

I crossed over to Nokonoshima and ordered the Nokonoshima Burger as a snack. I enjoyed it while waiting for the ferry. It had plenty of onions and lots of fillings, very delicious. I had it with coffee as a set. Thank you for the meal!

Located right near the Furuzima Ferry Terminal, this cafe offers a view of the sea. I decided to try the "Noko Burger." After placing my order, I received a number tag and waited for the freshly grilled meat. The buns were soft and slightly white in color. The meat had a strong beef flavor, and the thick, sweet onions surprised me. While it may seem like a typical burger, the ocean view made the experience even more enjoyable. On my way out, I also tried the Noko Chocolate Sundae, which was just vanilla and chocolate ice cream, but the name added a special touch to it.

I think it's quite stylish and good to enjoy while looking at Fukuoka city, and it's delicious, around 600-700 yen.
