Fukuoka Ohori Park's Spectacular Cherry Blossom Season

Fukuoka's Ohori Park boasts a breathtaking landscape during the cherry blossom season. As you stroll through the park, you can enjoy the magnificent view of the blue lake harmonizing with the cherry blossoms. Visiting during the full bloom period, the entire park is bathed in pink, making you feel as if you're walking in a dream. Particularly, the walking paths around the lake offer a leisurely time as you watch the petals fluttering down. It's a perfect place to create precious memories with family or friends. A walk accompanied by the sound of falling cherry blossoms is truly an unforgettable experience. If you visit Fukuoka, this is a must-see spot.

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. Man'yō Monument (Aratsu Beach) 'Shirotae no Sode no Wakare o Katami shite Aratsu no Hama ni Yadori suru kamo' There are many Man'yō monuments in Fukuoka, including in Dazaifu, Ohori Park, Maizuru Park, Nishi Park, Shikanoshima, Nokonoshima, and about a hundred monuments within Fukuoka City.

Went to visit the local park and it was such an amazing experience. the weather was great and you could sit on a bench to observe Mother Nature while you journal or listen to music. I saw a lot of locals running in the park and you could also stop by a local coffee shop to grab coffee or a quick bite. If you still have energy you can go on the swan boat and paddle for half an hour to burn off more energy with your loved ones ;) #ohoripark

Fukuoka's Little West Lake - Ohori Park and Maizuru Park Worth Visiting

👍️Recommended Reason: Ohori Park, which is a 15-minute walk from Fukuoka Tenjin, is a park built around the moat of Fukuoka Castle, with a total area of about 4.1 square kilometers. It is also known as 'Fukuoka's Little West Lake' because it was built to imitate Hangzhou's West Lake. Ohori Park is one of the few water parks in Japan and a beautiful leisure spot in Fukuoka City. Its wide lake, large green spaces, and small bridges over flowing water attract many visitors. Maizuru Park, next to Ohori Park, is built on the ruins of Fukuoka Castle. The park boasts beautiful natural scenery throughout the seasons and is especially famous for cherry blossom viewing. However, the red leaves and ginkgo trees in late autumn are also stunning. 📅Travel Tips: Both parks are open all year round and free of charge. Generally, it takes about 2 hours to visit. However, you can extend your time by having a coffee at the Starbucks in the park, sitting for a while, daydreaming, and relaxing; or treat yourself to a meal at a Michelin restaurant! If you have more time, you can also visit the Fukuoka Art Museum. 💗Other Tips: 1. The two parks often hold events on weekends, featuring local snacks and specialties, which are quite attractive; 2. During the cherry blossom season, there are many tourists, making it very lively but also quite crowded, so plan ahead; 3. There is a Japanese garden in Ohori Park that opens at 9 am and is closed on Mondays. It requires a 240 yen ticket.

Ōhori Park | A scenic park in Fukuoka that combines art and relaxation

🌟 Ōhori Park, you really know how to enjoy yourself! 👍 For the people of Fukuoka Prefecture in Kyushu, when it comes to taking a walk, the first place that comes to mind is Ōhori Park. It is considered an oasis in the city, and the nearly 90-year-old Ōhori Park has grown alongside many Fukuoka residents. In spring, people admire the cherry blossoms, in summer they watch fireworks, in autumn they enjoy the red maple leaves, and in winter the warm sun welcomes the new year with decorative lights. ❤ The construction of Ōhori Park originally involved filling in the mouth of the Hakata Bay to build a moat for the protection of the castle. In the 1930s, inspired by China's West Lake, the current Ōhori Park was constructed. Even today, Ōhori Park is one of the few water parks in Japan, hosting an annual summer fireworks festival. 🖼 In contrast to the grandeur of China's West Lake, Ōhori Park focuses more on details to enhance its beauty. Many buildings have been constructed along the lake to complement the park's lakes, allowing visitors to enjoy the scenery and relax, appreciate art at the lakeside art museum, and even take a break on a swan boat in the lake. There is a small island in the lake connected by three bridges, and at night, colorful lights are turned on, attracting many couples for a romantic rendezvous. ✅ Ōhori Park is well-equipped with facilities, including a two-kilometer trail around the lake for jogging and cycling. In addition to the art museum and restful seating, several coffee shops have been established around the lake, filling the air with the scent of flowers and the aroma of coffee. On weekends, the 'Noh Theater' in Ōhori Park also hosts various music and drama events, adding to the entertainment atmosphere for the public. 📍 Address: 1-2 Ōhori Park, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City. 🚉 Transportation: Take the municipal subway to Ōhori Park Station, and follow the signs for an 8-minute walk to reach the park. 💰 Cost: Free. 🕙 Opening hours: All day.

Scenic Park in Fukuoka

#2024wish A picturesque park to spend an hour or two. There is a small island and some bridges, so you can cross the lake in the middle of it. Lots of benches and toilets. If you feel like it you can even rent a paddle boat. We saw some ducks, pigeons, fish and turtles as we crossed the beautiful bridge that led to a garden and a picturesque landing built on the lake. There were a few local bikers, joggers & tourists when we went there. It was worth spending the afternoon in Ohori Park. In 2024, I want to travel here again.
