Visiting to Kanezaki (鐘崎) fishing port, Munakata, Fukuoka

After having a short break at nearby Satsuki-matsubara beach, we went to Kanezaki fishing port. Kanezaki is Munakata's leading fishing port with tons of fish landings, e.g. fugu (globe fish), squid, mackerel and so on. It's located on the border of seas surrounding the port, the Sea of Genkai (玄界灘 -nada) and Hibikinada (響灘) Sea.

During photo shooting, my mom brought some fresh seafood of squid and mackerel at the Kanenomisaki Live Fish Center right next to the Kanezaki fishery cooperatives refrigerator in the center picture. We cooked them after coming back to home.

Then we headed off to the closest shrine, Orihata-jinja (織幡神社) at the tip of the Cape Kanenomisaki.
