10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Fukuoka That You Shouldn't Miss

December 13, 2021 Osvaldo Hartline

Fukuoka is a gourmet paradise... "providing you're not vegetarian," say travelers on our Fukuoka forum! It's right on Genkai Sea, and the seafood is fresh and abundant. So is Fukuoka-style ramen, which you can find at the city's famous yatai (outdoor stalls) as well as modern restaurants. Walk off your meal at Ohori Park and the nearby Fukuoka Castle ruins.

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

Fukuoka Tower

Reviewed By CZH13 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

The tallest building in Fukuoka provides an excellent vantage point to watch the sun set and the city go from day to night. They've also got a restaurant where you can have a pint and just watch city life below you. The souvenir coin is also pretty cool as you can engrave your name and date of visit, making it truly unique.
