The "gold seal "is a national treasure that appears in history textbooks. In the Edo period, a gold seal "of the King of the Han Chinese Nuns "was discovered by a farmer on Shiga Island. After passing through the Kuroda family, who were lords of the Chikuzen domain, it was later donated to the city and is now in the collection of the Fukuoka City Museum. "A stone monument and a replica of the gold seal are displayed next to the monument in the Golden Seal Park ". It is a romantic place to reminisce about prehistoric times while gazing out over Hakata Bay beyond the plaza. The island also offers a variety of healing spots, such as hot spring accommodations and restaurants where you can enjoy fresh seafood.
