Nokonoshima
能古島
A small (about 12 km around) island in the middle of Hakata Bay and offers some splendid hiking, swimming, and camping. It is easily reached by a 10-minute ferry ride from the Meinohama Port. The ferry departs every hour usually at 15 minutes past the hour from 05:15 in the morning to 23:00 at night, with service every half hour during the morning and evening rush (07:15-08:15 and 17:15-18:45).

While perhaps not worth a special trip all the way there, it's worth a look if you happen to be anywhere near the area.

Atago Shrine
愛宕神社
A hidden gem near the Muromi Subway Station, with a superb view of the city and Hakata Bay from a hilltop. You can also see many storks that fly by and nest in the area. Walk west from the subway station across the Muromi Bridge until you see the Atago torii gate with the stairs heading up. Alternatively there is a side road you can walk up if you don't like stairs.

Fukuoka Tower
福岡タワー
The triangular reflective tower has magnificent views of the city and Hakata Bay from its 123-meter-high observation deck. (The whole tower is 234 m; the remaining 111 m is a television mast.) In Christmas and the Star Festival (Tanabata) on July 7, this tower is decorated. During the rest of the year the view is best at night time. This is an iconic symbol of Fukuoka. There is a restaurant which commands a ¥300 sitting fee in addition to the meal. The menu is limited and the food is mediocre at best.
