A wonderful spot to unwind and enjoy nature right in the heart of the city! 🌿☕🦆
Ohori Park is a spacious, well-maintained park with plenty of joggers and a separate path for walkers, making it enjoyable for everyone. Free to enter, the paths are clean, with nice views across the lake and a pleasant walkway through the middle. You’ll see dog walkers and locals relaxing throughout the day. Toilets are clean, Western style, and adequate. Easy to reach from Hakata Station by bus #9 — about 260 JPY per person.
If you’re in the area come for a walk or run. Super cool area with tons to see or just relax and enjoy the scenery. The castle was closed when we went but we got some tea and small bites from a shop along the trail.
Many of the facilities are thoughtfully designed and very practical. It’s a great place for families of all ages to relax and spend time together. There’s a large playground, as well as barbecue and picnic areas. You can rent boats by the lake, and there’s also a museum to visit. It’s an excellent spot to let your pets roam, ideal for seniors to take leisurely walks, and perfect for young people to go jogging. There are also many dining options nearby, so you can easily spend an entire day here.
Visitors can enjoy boating on the lake, walking or jogging around the scenic paths, exploring the Japanese garden, visiting the Fukuoka Art Museum, and attending various events and festivals.
The park is beautiful year-round, but the best times to visit are during the cherry blossom season in spring and the autumn foliage season when the scenery is particularly stunning.
Ohori Park is easily accessible from Ohori Koen Station on the Fukuoka City Subway Kuko Line, with several entrances around the park.
The park offers facilities such as rental boats, restrooms, picnic areas, playgrounds, cafes, and parking. There are also well-maintained paths for walking and cycling.
