Ohori Park (大濠公園) Ohori Park is a large urban park centered around the "Ohori Pond," which was originally the outer moat of Fukuoka Castle during the Edo period. The park was designed by Seiroku Honda, known as the "Father of Japanese Parks," and features beautiful walking paths, a middle island, and various recreational facilities. It is a popular spot for both locals and tourists, offering a peaceful oasis in the heart of Fukuoka City
Ohori Park Japanese Garden(大濠公園 日本庭園) This Japanese Garden, located within Ohori Park, was created in 1984 to commemorate the park's 50th anniversary. Designed by renowned landscape architect Midori Nagao (though the actual designer mentioned is 中根金作), the garden features traditional Japanese landscaping techniques, including a large pond, hills, and various water features. The garden also includes a tea house and walking paths, offering a tranquil escape from the urban environment
Yanagi Bridge Market (柳橋連合市場) Known as "博多の台所" or "Hakata's Kitchen," Yanagi Bridge Bridge Market is a vibrant marketplace famous for its abundant fresh produce and seafood. It originated in the early Showa period when individual shops began selling fresh fish from the Ohama fish market, and over time, more shops gathered in the area, creating the bustling market it is today. The market is popular among both professionals and household shoppers, and the energetic calls of the vendors add to its charm.
