Shikanoshima island is known as a tied island which is rare in Japan. Since ancient times, it was a maritime trading hub to the continent as well as peninsula, leaving many traces of history. It is well known as the place where the Kinin (gold seal), engraved with "Kanno wano nano Kokuou" and was presented by the Chinese emperor, was said to have been discovered. Hence, this place is named and developed into "Kinin Park". There is a memorial plaque and a replica of the Kinin displayed at the observation deck where you can have a view of Hakata Bay. Ever wonder how it is like to enjoy excellent view while imagining how the ancient people from different lands connect with each other? Maybe it is time for a visit!
