Ōhori Park

Description

Ōhori Park is a beautiful park located in the Chūō-ku ward of Fukuoka, built around a spectacular lake which was once a part of the Fukuoka Castle. Considered to be one of Japan's most striking water parks, Ōhori Park is a popular attraction in Fukuoka for its serene and peaceful environment and is frequented by numbers of both locals and tourists alike. The present park was re-opened in 1929 after it was reconstructed and features a perfect blend of traditional and modern elements including a beautiful man-made mountain, rock garden and several tea rooms with outdoor gardens. The park can be visited throughout the year, with each season bringing something different - be it the winter pines or the red maples of autumn. A visit to Ōhori Park is recommended for travellers in Fukuoka, for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts in particular.
