Best Places to Visit in Fukuoka

When you think of Japan, the bustling streets of Tokyo or the ancient temples of Kyoto might spring to mind. However, the vibrant city of Fukuoka, nestled on the northern shore of Japan's Kyushu Island, offers a unique blend of modern charm and historical allure. For those eager to explore this gem, our company, Happytripz, provides delightful excursions to the most captivating spots in the city.

Ohori Park

Begin your journey at Ohori Park, a serene oasis in the heart of Fukuoka. The park's name, which means "large moat," hints at its history as part of the ancient Fukuoka Castle. Today, it's a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll or a paddleboat ride on the lake. The park's beauty is a testament to the city's harmonious blend of nature and urban life. Find your way to this peaceful retreat here.

Fukuoka Castle Ruins

History buffs will revel in the Fukuoka Castle Ruins, located within Maizuru Park. Although the castle no longer stands in its full glory, the remnants and the surrounding stone walls evoke a sense of the past. During the cherry blossom season, the area becomes particularly magical, with pink blossoms framing the historic site.

Canal City Hakata

For a taste of modern Fukuoka, Canal City Hakata is a must-visit. This large shopping and entertainment complex, often referred to as a "city within the city," boasts a canal running through it, along with an array of shops, cafes, and a theater. It's a perfect example of the city's innovative urban design. Discover this bustling hub here.

Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine

No visit to Fukuoka would be complete without paying respects at the Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. Dedicated to the spirit of Sugawara Michizane, a scholar and politician of the Heian period, this shrine is a place of learning and art. The shrine's plum trees are legendary, and when in bloom, they are a sight to behold. Learn more about this fascinating piece of history on Wikipedia.
