Hi y’all, I posted this in the travel subreddit and got told to post here instead.
My husband and I are visiting Fukuoka from August 9~12, flying in from Seoul. We have our first day set but I can’t make up my mind about the rest.
Version A
D2- Ainoshima (cat island) and Uminonakamichi/Shikanoshima
D3- Dazaifu in the morning and Ohori Park+chill exploring in the afternoon
Version B
D2- Dazaifu+Ohori Park (maybe Genkai Island?)
D3- Nokonoshima
My issue is I can’t decide if the cat islands are worth the time. Especially Genkai, from what I saw online there’s not that many cats anyway. I also wasn’t totally sure if Uminonakamichi and Shikanoshima are any good for swimming, or if Nokonoshima would be better. I’d love some insight on this, thanks!

Version A. Shikanoshima faces open water so it’s much nicer if you want to swim.
The water quality at the beaches in Hakata Bay, like Nokonoshima, can be pretty gross.
I wouldn’t bother going out to Ainoshima.
