Fukuoka Parks & Gardens

Fukuoka’s green spaces range from the historic ruins of Fukuoka Castle and the Edo-period Yūsentei Park to the modern, expansive Uminonakamichi Seaside Park. Ōhori Park features a large central pond modeled after West Lake in China, while Maizuru Park is a premier spot for cherry blossom viewing. For unique floral displays, the Kawachi Wisteria Garden offers seasonal tunnels of blooms, and the Fukuoka City Botanical Gardens house thousands of species across specialized greenhouses and outdoor terraces.
