Maizuru Park: Where History Meets Blossoms in Fukuoka

#cherryblossom25 Nestled within the historic ruins of Fukuoka Castle, Maizuru Park transforms into a cherry blossom haven each spring. Approximately 1,000 cherry trees bloom throughout the park, creating a stunning contrast against ancient stone walls and moats. The 2025 cherry blossom season is expected to peak around April 2, with the Fukuoka Castle Sakura Festival illuminating the park from March 7 to the end of the season, nightly from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM.   Visitors can enjoy various attractions, including the Sakura Garden, Tamon Yagura turret, and Ootaka Yashiki ruins, with admission options available for individual areas or a combined ticket. The park’s layout offers picturesque spots for hanami picnics, with food stalls and traditional performances enhancing the festive atmosphere. Easily accessible via a short walk from Ohorikoen Station on the Fukuoka City Subway, Maizuru Park provides a perfect blend of cultural heritage and natural beauty during the cherry blossom season.
