Maizuru Park
Not far from Tenjin (central Fukuoka City) is one of Kyushu’s most prominent cherry blossom viewing spots. It’s a central hub for anthophiles and nature lovers with a huge display of flowers and plants. The park also has an athletic field, sports facilities and is nearby Ohori Park and Fukuoka City Art Museum. The park hosts Fukuoka Castle which is an immense structure brimming with history and significance. Additionally kokoran (an ancient guest house for foreign diplomats) was found in the park in 1987 and cements Fukuoka's reputation as an important destination and port for international relations throughout the ages.
