Maizuru Park (舞鶴公園)

#福岡櫻花 "Maizuru Park is hands down one of the best places in Fukuoka to see cherry blossoms. Located around the ruins of Fukuoka Castle, this park has around 1,000 sakura trees that bloom beautifully against the backdrop of ancient stone walls. Walking through the castle grounds while pink petals flutter in the air feels like stepping back in time. The highlight is the evening illuminations—when the cherry blossoms are lit up at night, the whole park looks magical. Since it’s a popular hanami spot, you’ll see plenty of people enjoying picnics, but the spacious park never feels too crowded. There are also food stalls selling local treats like yakitori and taiyaki, which add to the festive atmosphere. If you’re looking for a mix of history, culture, and breathtaking cherry blossoms, Maizuru Park is an unforgettable experience. It’s a perfect spot for both daytime and nighttime sakura viewing!"
