Sakura dances like poetry, the tranquil spring light of Maizuru Park.

In the early morning light, I strolled through Maizuru Park in Fukuoka, with a cool breeze gently brushing my cheeks, as if isolating the hustle and bustle of the world outside. The park is filled with towering ancient trees, blending the serenity of history with the vitality of nature. Walking along the winding paths, I soon reached the stone walls of the Fukuoka Castle ruins, where moss quietly grows in the crevices, witnessing the passage of time. The cherry blossoms of April arrive as expected, with trees full of pink and white flowers swaying in the wind like clouds and snow. Petals fall into the lake, creating ripples like a still watercolor painting. From a high vantage point, the modern urban landscape of Fukuoka contrasts sharply with the timeless charm of the park, a moment so moving it takes your breath away. At dusk, the sunlight casts a warm golden hue on the ancient stone walls and cherry trees. I sat on a bench by the lake, quietly appreciating the beauty of nature and history intertwined. Maizuru Park, with its elegance and timelessness, added an unforgettable poetic touch to my journey.
