What other travelers are saying about Fukuoka Castle Ruins (Maizuru Park)
If you’re in the area and enjoy walking and history, you’ll love this.
I very much enjoyed this detour in our day. Added another few thousand steps to our day. It was very interesting and beautiful. Also- cherry blossoms if in season.
It was nice and peaceful and quite beautiful seeing the sakura in the dim lighting. However, there were too many people and the line to enter the area of the castle when it's lighted is incredibly long, at least an hour of wait. But you can still see the lit castle while walking through the sakura trees below.
Beautiful place to walk around, explore and get fresh air. There weren't too many people. The largest gathering of people were in the main open field area.
Interesting little castle on a hill, can't get all the way to it due to renovation but nice quick views of the city and just interesting to pull up Wiki and read about the history. So many people came before us and will come after us, fascinating to contemplate.
