Shofuen is the third largest park in Fukuoka, Japan with Japanese teahouses and gardens. It was built in Showa 20 (1945) and opened to the public as "Shofuen" in Heisei 19 (2007). Shofuen Garden is located in the water purification area of the high-end residential area on the south side of Tenjin, a busy street in Fukuoka City. Various activities such as tea ceremony are held here, and it is known as a park for enjoying the beautiful garden, flowers and autumn leaves. Shofuen Garden was originally the former residence of Tanaka Maruzen Hachio, the founder of the famous department store Tamaya in Fukuoka and a collector of high-end ceramics in Kyushu, "Shofuso". Zenbaweng likes to drink tea, so the famous tea house architect Kaichiro Fatebuki built the tea rooms "Songfengan" and "Si'a". The tea room "Shofuan" loved by the Tanaka Maru family has maintained its original appearance to this day. "Shofuan" is a tea room with four and a half tatami mats, of which half of the tatami is a wooden floor. This design is called "Four Mats", and they gathered with the famous medieval "tea saint" Sen Rikyu at Dade Temple in Kyoto. The "Masquerade Seat" in the mausoleum of Guangyuan is exactly the same, which shows Shanbaweng's love for tea. Passing through the main entrance, the layers of stone steps come into view, as if walking in the deep mountains and forests. As you climb the stairs, you will be greeted by a beautiful Japanese garden themed around Suruga Bay and Mount Fuji. Mainly maple trees that are over 100 years old, woven lanterns, spring lanterns, swastika-shaped chairs, and pavilions are embellished, and you can feel the beauty of Japan's changing seasons. There are "Fukuoka City Zoological and Botanical Garden" and "Hirao Mountain Villa (Nomura Wangdongni Mountain Villa Ruins) nearby, and there are many fine-cover bakeries and dessert shops scattered along the clean water road, which is a good place for a walk.

Encounter the first snow in Fukuoka! A beautiful niche tea house hidden in Fukuoka, Japan🍵
#福冈景点 I won’t allow you to be unaware of this romance! When I encountered the first snow in Fukuoka❄️, I unexpectedly discovered a paradise on earth - Mufuen Tea House. I was so lucky!
The consumption is very affordable. With just 100 yen of admission, you can enter this paradise
When we entered the teahouse, we happened to see a couple taking traditional Japanese wedding photos in the courtyard. The quaint buildings, gorgeous kimonos, set against the backdrop of the first snow, create a picturesque scene filled with a rich Japanese romantic atmosphere.
The courtyard of the teahouse is small and exquisite, yet it exudes refinement everywhere. When I sit indoors, holding a cup of matcha in my hand, the tea fragrance lingers around my nose. Looking up, I see snowflakes falling in the courtyard. Time seems to freeze at this moment, and my heart instantly becomes calm and comfortable.
If you also love Japanese culture, have a special liking for matcha, and are eager to find a unique check-in destination, then when you go to Fukuoka, this Mufuen Tea House is definitely not to be missed! Believe me, it will bring you an unforgettable and wonderful experience.

In Fukuoka's Shofuen Garden, it feels like stepping into a tranquil paradise. This historic Japanese garden is filled with lush pine trees and meticulously manicured landscapes, reflecting off a clear pond, bringing joy to the heart. As you stroll along the paths, the sound of flowing water gently reaches your ears, as if time has quietly come to a halt.

The sight of small bridges, flowing water, and playful koi fish creates a vivid picture. Each step brings a sense of freshness and tranquility, evoking a poetic sentiment. Here, the hustle and bustle of life seem to be left behind, replaced by a sense of peace.
Standing on the observation deck, overlooking the entire Shofuen Garden, the scenery is picturesque, and a sense of awe for nature arises from within. This journey has deeply made me appreciate the beauty of Japanese elegance and has provided a peaceful haven amidst the bustling city life. Shofuen Garden is not just a garden, but a journey of soul purification.
