Ōhori Park | A scenic park in Fukuoka that combines art and relaxation
🌟 Ōhori Park, you really know how to enjoy yourself!
👍 For the people of Fukuoka Prefecture in Kyushu, when it comes to taking a walk, the first place that comes to mind is Ōhori Park. It is considered an oasis in the city, and the nearly 90-year-old Ōhori Park has grown alongside many Fukuoka residents. In spring, people admire the cherry blossoms, in summer they watch fireworks, in autumn they enjoy the red maple leaves, and in winter the warm sun welcomes the new year with decorative lights.
❤ The construction of Ōhori Park originally involved filling in the mouth of the Hakata Bay to build a moat for the protection of the castle. In the 1930s, inspired by China's West Lake, the current Ōhori Park was constructed. Even today, Ōhori Park is one of the few water parks in Japan, hosting an annual summer fireworks festival.
🖼 In contrast to the grandeur of China's West Lake, Ōhori Park focuses more on details to enhance its beauty. Many buildings have been constructed along the lake to complement the park's lakes, allowing visitors to enjoy the scenery and relax, appreciate art at the lakeside art museum, and even take a break on a swan boat in the lake. There is a small island in the lake connected by three bridges, and at night, colorful lights are turned on, attracting many couples for a romantic rendezvous.
✅ Ōhori Park is well-equipped with facilities, including a two-kilometer trail around the lake for jogging and cycling. In addition to the art museum and restful seating, several coffee shops have been established around the lake, filling the air with the scent of flowers and the aroma of coffee. On weekends, the 'Noh Theater' in Ōhori Park also hosts various music and drama events, adding to the entertainment atmosphere for the public.

Switch! In conjunction with the daughter's primary school exam and holiday time, the resumption activity 🐣 holiday to enjoy the cherry 🌸 this year's cherry blossom 2023 is a week earlier than the expected schedule. Everyone lost their budget. Fortunately, I was early in the early schedule. After the cherry blossoms in Fukuoka were full, I arrived 4~ 5 days later and I was in time to go to Fukuoka Dayu Park. The cherry blossom festival in the sky 🌸 I went to the road that had already blown the cherry blossom festival and the snow and moon cherry blossom festival was so lively that many people went there. It was really a good atmosphere! I found a shorter cherry tree crazy shadow 🤣 I feel that there is a full scene ~ I punched in successfully! #Fukuoka #Daegu Park #Jiuzhou #Sakura Season #Sakura Festival #missta #misstalovecooking # Fukuoka City #Japan Attractions
I was very good.. I walked from Hakata to Tenjin to Ohori, but I was able to exercise and feel refreshed.. Above all, it was good because it was large.
A place I only heard in words.. I definitely recommend it. Although it is large in scale, it is connected to Maizuru Park, and the route is very rich. There are coffee shops and art galleries in the middle, so I spent a very informative time
