After a long rainy season, the heat of late summer is upon us. Now, as we head into fall, the days are growing ever so shorter, and the temperatures are gradually moving into more comfortable territory. In September, the sunset is forecast for 18:44 on the first of the month, and this time will gradually get earlier and earlier until the 30th, when the sun is expected to set at 18:04. In Tokyo, where the sun sets earlier, these times will be 18:08 and 17:26, respectively, which means you can enjoy around 40 more minutes of sunlight in Fukuoka (unless you decide to wake up at the crack of dawn).<\/p>\n

And given its northwestern orientation, the beach at Seaside Momochi is the perfect place to watch the sun set. The period from summer to early fall is when the setting sun lights up the clouds in every corner of the sky, so why not come to Seaside Momochi right before dusk to enjoy this panoramic palette of color!<\/p>\n
