    Seriously, ditch the daytime ticket and aim for sunset. This is where Fukuoka Tower shines (literally!).Because the tower is right by the ocean, you get a beautiful, unobstructed view as the sun dips below the horizon. The sky goes through all those crazy colors pinks, oranges, and deep purples and it looks fantastic reflecting off Hakata Bay.

    It was much more fun that I expected. Actually, I came for dolphin's show, but all zones was interesting, despite the fact that I am 30 years old :) I was absolutely impressed by grand aquarium! 💔 Penguins at arm's length! Show of dolphins and sea lions was excellent!

    Of the castle ruins, nothing remains except the stone foundation. The feudal lord was pragmatic, building only three castle towers: large, medium, and small. Tamon Turret is overgrown with weeds; the other turrets have only their foundation stones left, while others are merely imaginary.

    On March 24, 2025, I came to Maizuru Park, the most famous cherry blossom viewing park in Fukuoka. I came out of the subway "Ohori Park" and followed the signs to find Maizuru Park. What I saw was a path of unopened cherry blossom trees, without even buds. It is estimated that the cherry blossom season this year will be delayed, and the blooming cherry blossoms will not be seen until early April. "Looking for flowers in the crowd for thousands of times, I turned around and found that the flowers were at the Fukuoka Castle Wall." When I walked to the ruins of Fukuoka Castle, I finally found a drooping cherry blossom that had bloomed.

    Definitely more catered towards children than the Tokyo installations but this was still a really fun hour! spent the most time in the first room where you can catch animals using an app. there is another room where you can colour in an animal or a plant and watch it come to life in the room.

    This time I went to experience the three brothers of Boss E's stunning view, and played the famous transparent slide and roller coaster. Overall it wasn't very exciting, but it was definitely an unforgettable and fun experience! There are many indoor amusement facilities in Boss E, such as Team Lab and Sanrio Charaters Dreaming Park. If you have time, you can play here for a whole day.
