Anonymous user:“We enjoyed our time at the Fukuoka Tower. There was a Christmas market outside during our visit and we were able to enjoy some snacks in the cold winter.”
msms:“The main hall is under renovation, and the shrine is "naked" on a temporary stand. It's a close encounter.
Sugawara Michizane is a neon Confucius. The head of Tenmangu Shrine seeks knowledge.
The ox and the qilin are rubbed shiny by devotees, hoping for some blessings.”
春天里的柳絮:“Ohori Park is called the Little West Lake of Fukuoka because it was built to imitate the West Lake. It takes about an hour to walk around the lake, and the scenery is beautiful. There is the Fukuoka Art Museum in the park, and there is a very good restaurant on the second floor of the museum, with an elegant environment and exquisite food.”
Anonymous user:“Highly recommended, enjoy a day of leisurely parent-child time. It takes about half an hour from Hakata Station. There is a transfer in the middle, but the instructions are clear, and the road signs are also clear after getting off. In summer, you can choose to go to the aquarium first, and then go to the water park in the seaside park (only from July to September). It is about ten minutes apart. There is a shuttle bus at the water park. It is recommended to buy tickets for the aquarium on Ctrip. There is no need to queue, and it is a little cheaper than on-site (2500 yen for adults, equivalent to 125 yuan, Ctrip 123 yuan)”
sAviOr_07:“Kushida Shrine is a must-visit shrine when you come to Hakata. You must come to see the Gion Yamakasa. Although I didn't come in July, I didn't see the big Yamakasa in the city, but I can see the Yamakasa in Kushida Shrine.
Read the introduction According to the legend of the shrine, Kushida Shrine was founded in the first year of Tenpyo Hoji (757) and has been the general guardian of Hakata since ancient times. The Hakata Festival is a representative festival of Fukuoka City and is well-known throughout the country.”
msms:“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.”
tumimi:“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.”
Open tomorrow at 09:30-17:30 (admission ends at 17:00)
yuzuyu_sherry:“The exhibition hall is not big, but if you are a Hello Kitty fan, you can go there. The most enjoyable part is probably the shopping. We went on Friday at 4 or 5 o'clock. There were very few people and there was no queue for the exhibition or shopping. The only regret is that the Teddy Kitty items are sold out. I guess they will be available early in the morning. After the shopping, it is also nice to go downstairs to eat a Hello Kitty dessert and then walk around Ohori Park.”
