    I didn't mean to visit here, but it is located right in front of the Fukuoka Art museum. What a nice park. Lots of people were running or riding bicycles. The Japanese garden (entrance fee 250 yen) was beautiful. I don't think this place is a tourist spot, but lots of travel related sites are recommending this park. If you love Japanese gardens, don't forget to check out the Japanese garden. It is worth more than 250 yen.

    One of my favorite parks from now on. It is such a great place to relax and just watch the day pass you by. There are even birds and turtles to keep you entertained with some fish sometimes. Will visit this park again, it is worth visiting!

    This is a pretty big park. Walked around on a sunday and it was enjoyable to watch families spending time together. The art museum is here. There are playgrounds. Option for boat ride in the lake/pond. There were a lot of cherry blossom trees, but we went before they blossomed. I imagine this park would look beautiful during cherry blossom season.

    Nice park in the city. Very easy to get to by subway. A very public place for local people and tourist to spend their day of weekdays or weekend. You can walk your dogs easily here. Children can find things to do in the playground or biking around the lake.

    Beautiful park with many ducks in the pond and influencers taking picture at the small platform. U can find that elsewhere guys…. Don’t need to queue up to take pictures. But a chill park to walk and cafe to visit.

    A nice park to visit while in Fukuoka, with a circular pedestrian walking path and another for jogging. While it is not covered with lawns where one can lay and relax, it has many benches in front of the lake. It is not a tourist destination which makes it a big plus.

    PLEASE READ IF YOU'RE A SOLO WOMAN TRAVELLING! The park is sooo lovely and quite big, honestly I would've put 5 stars if I didn't meet a creepy guy at the park who would not leave me alone. He claimed to be half Japanese/Korean and in his late 20's and while he was trying to chat me up, also approached another solo foreign Asian lady (I'm ethnically SE Asian) to get her Line contact, and followed me around the park until I hid inside the nearby museum. When I came out a full hour later, he was still in the park chatting up anther girl who looked like she was alone. While this was my only relatively scary encounter during my half year stay in Japan, please please please keep yourself safe.

    A Runner's Dream Amazing Amazing park with a 2km all-weather track and outer bike lane not far from the heart of the city (less than 4km from Hakata Station). I've long wanted to visit Fukuoka specifically to visit this park. I had heard that it had a 2km all-weather track encircling a pond, but it was hard to tell from pictures. Not only is this definitely an all-weather track surface (better for running than pavement or cement), but every hundred meters is marked the entire way around for those who want to do workouts. This is a runner's paradise, and I saw lots of individual runners, running teams, schools, and even a running group for blind people who are partnered with sight-abled running buddies. I was blown away. The center of the pond that the track follows also has a pavilion and a path leading to it. The Fukuoka Art Museum is on the park premises as well. There are cafes and plenty of bathrooms. The official start and finish of the track is close to the Fukuoka Art Museum FYI. If you are in Fukuoka, and thinking about exercising, you owe it to yourself and your lungs to do it here. Fresh air and green spaces are rare commodities in cities.

    Beautiful local park. Less impressive at night, though still very beautiful. The north facing bridge and the pavilion ( on the centre island ) are standouts.

    Beautiful park to spend a peaceful and calm time. A lot of ducks always swims there in the pond. Huge park and always crowded as well.

    It's my favourite park in Fukuoka. It's beautiful and perfect for a nice walk, jogging or just relaxing. You can also take one of the swan boats to drive around.

    A large park in the city with a lake. It provides a relaxing environment that is close to all kinds of transportation. Updated 25 Jun 2023 Added some photo taken in summer.

    Beautiful park and setting. A world away from the city. Lots of space to sit or let children run around. Starbucks and local lovely restaurants are here, too.

    Beautiful park to wander around, even has a walkway through the center so you can be in the middle and see both sides. There are running lanes, cycling paths, peddleboat, as well as holds the garden, Art museum and right next to the Fukuoka castle ruins, definitely worthwhile to walk through and just relax in

    I thought it was beautiful during the day... I was correct, but the night is the same (and much quieter).

  • 5/5 Rachel S. 1 year ago on Google
    For me, this is one of the most perfect sized parks, if that makes sense. It's big enough to feel like you're away from the city for a bit, but not so big that you'd need more than a day to fully enjoy it. The walking and biking circle track that goes around the pond is really nice and everyone usually goes there for exercise on the weekend. Plus, the little island is so cute and has got some intimate spots for just hanging out. Good date spot. The tea house at the park is supposed to be very good as well. Definitely check it out during cherry blossom season!

    Nice city park to stroll along and go for long walks! We really enjoyed walking around the lake and checking out the “islands” that are connected with bridges. It’s a great park to relax and wind down from a long tourism or working day. Can recommend to bring some snacks and drinks and just soak in the sun and read a book or spend quality time with your friends. The park is very clean so make sure to keep it this way so everyone can equally enjoy its beauty

    I have been in Fukuoka for a while now, travelling many times to this place and I can't stop coming to this beautiful park, where you can enjoy every seasson of the year the color of the nature the big lake in the middle and the aircraft that pass through the sky make this park something unique. Come any time any moment and you will find something new to see. Totally recommended for riding a bike or going for a ride, take tour date here and go fancy with something to share. Is a all ages park, kids area, Starbucks and restaurant as well you can rent a small pedal boat and go at the middle of the lake.

    Really pretty park and kinda big. Autumn season they have 은행나무 너무 이쁘다. You can also feed the animal over there like bird, duck and fish on the lake with the bread. They’re really friendly animal. No entry fee.

    Really lovely park with a bridge in the middle to the island. It’s super peaceful with lots of birds hanging around to watch. It seems to get busy at times, but not too bad.

    🚴‍♂️ On our recent trip to Fukuoka, we found ourselves repeatedly drawn to Ohori Park for coffee breaks. Nestled in the heart of the city, this park is a tranquil escape with its picturesque pond and the 2 km path that encircles it, perfect for leisurely strolls or cycling. The park's design, inspired by the West Lake in Hangzhou, China, features three beautifully crafted islands, offering diverse scenic views and peaceful spots for relaxation. Despite its central location, the park maintains a serene atmosphere, providing a beautiful juxtaposition of nature's calm with the city's vibrant energy. It’s an ideal spot to unwind and soak in the serene views of the lake, especially after a morning bike ride. 🍃🌸

    Beautiful park with a lake, you can ride the swan boat in the lake. There is a big children playground with slides and swings, 3-12 years old have fun here.

    Great place to relax, exercise or hang out with family or friends. It's a very big park. It's near the subway as well so you'll easily find it. It's also beside Fukuoka Art Museum. It's also a pet-friendly park.

    Scenic and slow paced outdoor activities available for families, couples, kids, and bird watchers. The minimum charge for a swan boat is for 30 minutes to explore 1/4 of the entire lake. A memorable moment to be shared with others!

  • 5/5 Ananda Kurnia P. 1 year ago on Google
    this place so beautiful and make me feel so good, you can rent swan boat for 30 minutes,

    Ohori Park is beautiful in all seasons. Perfect place to relax and enjoy nature.

  • 4/5 Chi L. 5 months ago on Google
    This park is a few metro stops away from the most popular part of the city, so there were not a lot of tourists. I think it forms part of the route of the Fukuoka marathon. We saw quite a few joggers and cyclists. Took a bit over 45 mins to walk half a circle around the lake. Not a lot of shades though, if you want to stay covered.

  • 5/5 Ting T. 6 months ago on Google
    Ohori Park is a huge park with very clean grounds and a peaceful Lake. Boating activity is available at the lake and it is also a great place for cycling. There is a nice cafe at the park that serves snacks & shaved ice dessert with a nice view of the park. There is also a beautiful Japanese garden at Ohori Park which requires a small entry fee. The Japanese garden is a great spot for photography.

    A jogging track enclosing the lake and park with toilet and cafe. Multiple pay parking lots near by. A refreshing reserve at the heart of Hakata city worth visiting.

  • 5/5 Henry S. 1 year ago on Google
    Wide open space and a beautiful lake whereby you can have a fun swan boat ride. We had 3 people so we paid 1600 yen for a 30 min ride. Lots of people exercising in the area and those with dogs too. Looks like a great place to train and just relax. Bonus points for a lovely Starbucks with a great view.

  • 5/5 Ellana Nabilah Nur Averina A. 6 months ago on Google
    The park is so big. There will be a lot of people exercising there or just have a chilling time at the starbucks nearby. This park is famous among the tourists

    Der Ōhori Park in Fukuoka ist zweifelsohne eine Oase der Ruhe inmitten des städtischen Treibens. Mit seinem wunderschönen See und den gepflegten Wegen lädt er zu entspannten Spaziergängen ein. Die traditionellen Brücken und die Inseln verleihen dem Park eine malerische Note. Man findet hier auch das japanische Gartenkunstwerk, welches eine besondere Ruhe ausstrahlt. Dennoch wäre an einigen Stellen eine Auffrischung oder Instandsetzung wünschenswert, um den Park in vollem Glanz erstrahlen zu lassen. Alles in allem ein wunderbarer Ort zum Entspannen und Genießen, der nur knapp an der Perfektion vorbeischrammt. Vier Sterne für diesen idyllischen Rückzugsort! Vorsicht vor den vielen Mücken: unbedingt Mückenschutz einpacken!

  • 5/5 Keiko A. 9 months ago on Google
    I love this big open park in the middle of the city. Very clean, wild bird and turtles amuse us, great place for jogging / walk early morning or evening after work.

  • 5/5 Trish 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful park and worth stopping by if you’re either coming from the Fukuoka castle or going there afterwards, since this park is just a few mins walk from there. Lots of adorable doggies and lovely to just have a stroll around - look out for the ice cream vending machines as well for a sweet treat to enjoy while you have a peaceful walk around the park or visiting to see the bridge in the middle of the park.

  • 5/5 Carlye D. 9 months ago on Google
    Looking for a quiet small park? This is the place. You can buy fish food cheaply to feed koi, go to the tea house for green tea and Sweets or just sit on a bench. If u plan to sit for long, bring bug spray. Well worth it.

  • 5/5 Joshua C. 1 year ago on Google
    A huge park with a big lake in the middle. You can walk around the lake or go through it across the islands. Within the park are also the ruins of Fukuoka Castle.

  • 5/5 Itzel G. 1 year ago on Google
    Love that this park was open late! I'm sure it is lovely during the daytime but it was incredible at night! Definitely recommend this beautiful park!

  • 5/5 Dorothy C. 1 year ago on Google
    This park was one of the highlights of my stay in fukuoka. The park was right by my hotel so I constantly used the park and relaxed there. I will miss being able to walk there and enjoy the scenery and dogs.

  • 4/5 Jason C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great city park that is just big enough to while away an hour or two strolling around the lake and over the islands. This appears to be a popular place to walk dogs and go running; I wish my own city had a park this nice. The lake has plenty of coy fish and water birds to enjoy. There is also a very nice Japanese garden just next door if you have the time.

  • 4/5 Hester P. 1 year ago on Google
    Free admission. Serene and spacious. Took about 1 hour to walk around the park and to the tiny island in the middle. Peddling swan boat available for rent, cafes available too.

  • 5/5 joey s. 1 year ago on Google
    Huge park with clean canals and lake with fish and ducks and birds. There's Starbucks inside and lots of people having their daily run/walk and exercise. The air is just refreshing. Takes a way all your worries in life.
