Trip to Fukuoka, Japan 🇯🇵

It was a trip to Fukuoka, Japan with colleague. This is my second time to Fukuoka. It is a charming blend of urban energy, historic sites, and natural beauty. On my second trip to Fukuoka, we delved deeper into the city’s hidden gems 💎 and found incredible spots for photography 📸 We started our day at Ohori Park, where we enjoyed walking along the scenic lake. The calm waters reflected the surrounding trees and bridges, making it perfect for morning photos 📸 Adjacent to the park, the Fukuoka Castle Ruins offered stunning 😍 views of the city and seasonal blooms.
