Ohori Park, located in the heart of Fukuoka, is a serene urban oasis perfect for relaxation and recreation. This expansive park features a large, scenic lake at its center, originally part of the moat system for Fukuoka Castle. Today, it provides a tranquil escape from city life, offering picturesque views and a refreshing atmosphere.

One of the park's main attractions is its 2-kilometer-long walking and jogging path that circles the lake, ideal for a leisurely stroll or an invigorating run. The path crosses over elegant stone bridges connecting three small islands, adding to the park's charm and beauty.

Ohori Park also houses a beautiful Japanese garden where visitors can enjoy meticulously landscaped grounds, traditional tea houses, and serene koi ponds. The garden offers a peaceful retreat and a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage.

The Fukuoka Art Museum, located within the park, showcases an impressive collection of Asian and modern art, providing a cultural touchpoint for visitors. Additionally, pedal boats and rowboats are available for those who want to explore the lake from the water.

What other travelers are saying about Ohori Park

A very accessible park in the city center where you can relax and enjoy a cup of coffee or non-alcoholic fruit punch by the lake. As expected, the lake is clean and you can easily find different kind of aquatic birds and big koi (Japan crap) in it. It was fall season when we went there. 15 degree C, light breeze, blue sky, quiet environment, etc, composed a picturesque attraction for locals and visitors. If they add a few more shades or covering area along the walking path of the lake, the place would be even better as I would imagine it could be very hot during summer.

A picturesque spot where you can enjoy the view of the lake. Tons of swan-shaped paddle boats in the lake. You can rent them but they're was a big line up when we visited. Nice pedestrian bridge that you can walk on to get to the middle of the lake. A quick walk from the Fukuoka Castle Ruins area. Free to visit.

There are fish in the canal. The canal is so clean as expected for Japan. The place is so clean. We were not able to ride the swan boat because ir opens around 11:00am so we just enjoyed the park. It’s so peaceful here specially the middle island part.

Great park with public toilets, playgrounds, restaurants and cafes, benches, and even water fountains. Lots of people since it was a public holiday, but not overwhelming. Great location for a bike ride, a picnic, a jog, or just a stroll.
