Minami Park

Minami Park is a fantastic cherry blossom spot for those who prefer a more local and less touristy atmosphere. The park is spacious, with wide lawns and a playground, making it a great place for families with children. During cherry blossom season, the park transforms into a peaceful pink oasis, with plenty of space to lay out a picnic blanket and relax under the trees. Since it’s not as well-known as places like Maizuru Park, it’s much easier to find a quiet spot here. The park is also home to the Fukuoka City Science Museum, so you can combine your hanami with an educational visit. There are walking paths where you can take a leisurely stroll while enjoying the cherry blossoms, and the gentle hills provide nice viewpoints. If you’re looking for a laid-back, crowd-free hanami spot with lots of open space, Minami Park is a perfect choice.
