2025 Asakura Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

Nestled in the mountains, the lakeside dam is often a hidden gem for cherry blossom viewing. In Asakura City, Fukuoka Prefecture, "Minaike Lake" is home to the Terauchi Dam, which is also one of Japan's Top 100 Dam Lakes. Surrounding the dam, numerous cherry trees have been planted, especially near the observation deck and downstream plaza, making it a secret cherry blossom viewing spot known only to locals. Around Minaike Lake, you'll also find the water-themed amusement park "Amagi Water Culture Village," which is divided into an aquaculture area, a green sports area, and a waterfront leisure area. Here, you can enjoy water activities amidst the embrace of nature, creating a truly delightful experience! During cherry blossom season, the park hosts the "Cherry Blossom Lantern and Water Light Festival," where night cherry blossoms are illuminated by colorful water lanterns. The combination of weeping cherry blossoms and water birds creates an incredibly dreamy atmosphere!

#FukuokaSakura In Asakura City in Fukuoka Prefecture there is a mountain castle ruin called Akizuki. Not only does it have rich mountain and river scenery, it also retains the traditional streetscape. It was once prosperous and was known as the "Little Kyoto of Chikuzen." The 500-meter-long tree-lined road leading to the Akizuki Castle ruins is called the Akizuki Sugi-no-Bao. There are about 200 cherry trees on both sides of the road. The cherry blossom tunnel formed when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom is a stunning sight. It is quite healing to stroll through the streets where quaint buildings and cherry blossoms are intertwined. # At night, the street lights illuminate the cherry blossoms, creating a dreamy scene that is different from the daytime and is quite charming. #Fukuoka #Akizuki Castle Ruins

Amagi Park, a lesser-known cherry blossom spot in Fukuoka Prefecture, is located in Asakura City, southeast of Fukuoka. This expansive public park features a gourd-shaped Maruyama Pond at its center, surrounded by approximately 4,000 cherry trees, including Somei Yoshino, Yamazakura, and Yaezakura varieties. Every spring, the park transforms into a breathtaking sea of blossoms, earning it the nickname Maruyama Park among locals. The park boasts a rich natural environment with amenities such as fountains, a lawn plaza, a children's play area, and barbecue-friendly spaces, making it an ideal spot for weekend picnics and outings. During the cherry blossom season, the park hosts an illumination event from sunset until 10 PM, creating a dreamy and romantic night-time cherry blossom viewing experience.

I used my day off work to refresh myself with cherry blossom viewing and a hot spring. I heard that the weeping cherry trees in Ukiha were in full bloom, so I went there. I had some Ukiha apple curry on the way there, and the apple pie was delicious! Unfortunately, it was cloudy that day, but the weeping cherry trees were in full bloom. After that, I drove to the ruins of Akizuki Castle and enjoyed the cherry blossom trees in the castle town. Since I had come all the way to Ukiha on the way back, I went to Kotohira Onsen in Hita. The alkaline hot spring made my skin smooth. 2,000 yen for a family bath is cheap, so I was glad. #cherryblossomviewing

I went to Akizuki to see the Hina dolls, which are on display on weekends until March 5th. The many beautiful Hina dolls are lined up on the stairs leading to the shrine at the Akizuki Castle ruins. Akizuki is Kyushu's Little Kyoto. The seasons of cherry blossoms and autumn leaves are also beautiful. Although the display is on weekends, they will also be on display on March 3rd, the Girl's Festival.

#tripmemory2022 I stopped by on the way back from Haratsuru Onsen and bought a roll cake and cream puffs.

There are free lockers here and in the men's and women's changing rooms, so you can rest assured that your valuables will be safe. The weather was good on the day we arrived, but the next morning it snowed and the weather was bad, so many people rushed to get home and the bath was reserved for us.

Family 👋, found a super delicious coffee shop in Fukuoka - Coffee Yamaguchi! It is hidden in the corner of the street and looks like a quaint Japanese wooden house, full of the charm of time. As you step into the store, the rich aroma of coffee blends with the fragrance of wood, like walking into a warm embrace. The store's furnishings are full of ingenuity, with old furniture and retro ornaments, each of which tells a story. The sunlight shines through the window panes, and the light and shadows dance on the floor, which is very comfortable. The coffee here is carefully roasted and extracted by the owner. Holding a cup of hot coffee in your hand, leaning back on a soft chair, you can savor the coffee and feel its richness and warmth. Whether you are enjoying some quiet time alone or gathering with friends, this is the perfect place.

#FukuokaItinerary In the busy daily life, I always want to find a pure land where my soul can rest. This time, I set my destination at Harabo Onsen. Unexpectedly, the traffic jam during the morning rush hour made the journey to Yuanbao extremely long. The nearly three-hour drive really tested my patience. As soon as I stepped off the platform, I saw the sparsely populated countryside. At that moment, I couldn't help but wonder if I had been cheated. However, when I stepped into Harabo Onsen, all my doubts disappeared. After entering the Harabo Hot Spring, it feels like entering another world. It is simply a different world here! The surrounding scenery is breathtakingly beautiful, and the tranquility and comfort are something that cannot be experienced in the city. 🎏🎏🎏🎏 I just happened to encounter the Harabo River Light Festival recently. Looking at the lights on the river, I couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of my heart, why is Japan's aesthetic culture so outstanding. Those simple and repetitive elements can be so vivid in their design. There is really a lot to learn from them🤲🏽 The hot spring hotel we stayed in this time was also quite good. The biggest highlight was that there were many open-air private hot springs ♨️👘🧺 In the morning, there was drizzle in the sky. Soaking in the hot spring surrounded by bamboo forests, feeling the warmth and the blend of nature, my body and mind were greatly relaxed. It was so comfortable~ Yuanbao Hot Spring is not only a journey of physical relaxation, but also a baptism of the soul. Next time, I will definitely come again 🧖🏽♀️👏🏼👏🏼 #Haraho Onsen #Japanese-style hot spring #Japanese-style garden
