This event occurred at the &#8220;Nokonoshima Campground &amp; Beach,&#8221; a short 10-minute ferry ride from the port in Fukuoka&#8217;s Nishi Ward. Following a ritual performed to pray for safety during the swimming season, around 30 local preschool children donned life jackets and took to the sea. They enjoyed themselves in the shallows, splashing water and filling the beach with their lively voices. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/noko.camp\/posts\/651688896995100\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nokonoshima Camp Ground <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20230614\/5010020588.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NHK<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More beaches will open soon &#8211; check Fukuoka Now\u2019s beach guide for locations and useful details: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/en\/fukuoka-beach-guide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/en\/fukuoka-beach-guide\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-154259\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/fnn_nokonoshima-camp-ground-fb_2023_cl.jpeg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Nokonoshima Hosts Fukuoka's First Beach Opening\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/fnn_nokonoshima-camp-ground-fb_2023_cl.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/fnn_nokonoshima-camp-ground-fb_2023_cl.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/fnn_nokonoshima-camp-ground-fb_2023_cl.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/fnn_nokonoshima-camp-ground-fb_2023_cl.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
