10 Nature & Parks in Fukuoka Prefecture That You Shouldn't Miss
1. Mt. Tenpaizan

You can search for 'Tenpaizan Historical Natural Park' on Google Map to get to the park from which you start hiking up. Depending on the line you are taking, the nearest train station is either Futsukaichi or Murasaki. In the park, there are two toilets, one near the lake, and another one further in which is near to where the hike starts. There are signs in the park with maps of the circuit that the hike can be done. I took the anti clockwise direction. The path on the right is steeper and more direct, while the path on the left is gentler and wide but winding. My knees have degenerated and there are parts of the hike on the right path that I would have problems if I were descending rather than ascending. Of course you can also ascend and descend using only one of the paths. Most people took the left path up and down. The right path, while more difficult, offers some detours, including a small waterfall. It can also lead to a lake, but that's much further away. The top has a observation deck and you can even see Fukuoka Tower.

I discovered this park 4 years ago and everytime I need a place to restore my mind, I use to go there. The best period to visit it it's especially during the sakura season because it's full of cherry trees and the landscape becomes very suggestive. The park surrounds a lake also and you can walk all around it breathing the freshness of flowers and trees. This park is a piece of silence in the middle of the noise, a piece of peace in the rushing days of the people.

Wow. This park looked amazing on google maps, but when we went there it was even more spectacular. We went here for 3 hours in September. Took a ferry from Hakata port (a very nice 15 min ride, not too many waves and you get to see great distance view of hakata city) to Saitozaki ferry terminal. This park is enormous, best way to see everything without taking forever is to hire a bike. It's around 500Yen for 3-4 hours. There are designated bike paths in the park, however you can take the bike in certain areas where there is lot of foot traffic. There are lot of bike stops where you can park and have a walk through different attractions. There is a bit of everything at this seaside park, there is a zoo, bird area, picnic areas, lot of gardens and is very kid friendly too - such as kids pools, picnic benches etc. Great place to go to escape the city for a few hours, especially on a lovely sunny day, whether your a couple or a family, there's something to do for everyone. When we went, there wasn't too many flowers blooming. This place must be exploding with people during cherry blossom season.... If you go to Fukuoka, be sure to come check this place out, you won't regret it xD

If you're looking for a place to get away from the city and quietly reflect on things, this is a place to come to. A beautiful koi pond surrounded by trees provides different views from every angle. Tea house overlooking the pond has tatami mats where you can sit and enjoy a matcha set. Easily accessible by Fukuoka's excellent bus system.
