Tranquility and nature: A trip to Fukuoka's forests in late autumn

#FukuokaItinerary Day 1: Urban Greenery and Cultural Exploration In the early morning, we set out from Maizuru Park in the center of Fukuoka City to explore the ancient ruins of Fukuoka Castle. The red and golden leaves spreading on the city walls were intertwined, reflecting the autumn atmosphere with clear skies. Then we went to Ohori Park. The lake was as calm as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. We took a leisurely stroll and felt the healing power of the city's greenery. In the afternoon, we went to the Fukuoka Art Museum, where the collection of Asian art and modern works will make you linger. In the evening, head to Nakasu Yatai to enjoy Hakata ramen and experience the lively atmosphere of the night in the gentle breeze. Day 2: Quiet Mountain and Faith Journey The next morning, we drove to Hikoyama Shrine. This shrine, located on the hillside of Hikoyama, is surrounded by late autumn forests and seems like a paradise. As you climb the steps, the towering ancient trees and bright red leaves on both sides of the mountain road complement each other, making people feel awe and peace. Inside the shrine, the Amaterasu Omikami enshrined gives people a strong sense of faith, and the simplicity of the shrine architecture blends in with the surrounding nature. On the way back in the afternoon, we visited Fukuoka Tower and climbed to the top of the tower to overlook the entire city and Hakata Bay. The sunset dyed the sky and the sea into golden orange, which was a perfect end to the journey. Fukuoka's nature and culture are intertwined, allowing people to feel the bustle of the city while immersing themselves in the tranquility of the mountains and forests, bringing unparalleled spiritual cleansing.
