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.

Marine World

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)

Ohori Park

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.

Kushida Shrine

Kushida Shrine is a must-visit shrine when you come to Hakata. You must come to see the Gion Yamakasa. Although I didn&#39;t come in July, I didn&#39;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.

Fukuoka Castle Ruins

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.

Time:	Oct 23–Oct 24, 2025 (UTC+9)
