Ohori Park

Ohori Park is a historic and picturesque urban water park. Its predecessor was the inland bay 'Kusanoe,' which later became the outer moat of Fukuoka Castle. In Showa 4 (1929), Ohori Park officially opened. The pond, with a circumference of about 2 kilometers, connects four lush green islands through bridges. The park features a vast lake, large green areas, small bridges over flowing water, a Japanese garden, a tea house, a dry landscape garden, small ponds, and an art museum. Quietly enjoying the scenery and savoring a Yame matcha ice cream is also a pleasant thing to do.
