Ohori Park

Reviewed By Tony_Stark983 - Pattaya, Thailand

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.

Daimyomachi Catholic Church

Reviewed By legomate - Hong Kong, China

That was a Sunday when I walked by. It has an English Mass schedule and I just went in. It's right in the centre of Tenjin. Very convenient from anywhere if you're just walking around Tenjin area. You could identify it easily as it has a tall bell tower. No photo is allowed inside the Church. It has a signpost welcoming the public to pray inside the Church and the chapel. While you're travelling and thinking about your home and family, it's the best place to say a prayer to God in Fukuoka. What's more interesting is that in the Stations of the Cross are painted on the stained glasses, while many churches using a little wooden board depicting the stations. I have been telling my wife the story of Jesus using the pictures on the stained glass of the Church and it's exactly why the stained glasses are needed. Just drop by and I'm sure you will feel the peace and tranquillity of the Church which you might not have imagined that you will find it in the centre of a city in Japan.

Ohorikoen Japanese Garden

Reviewed By shannonl161 - Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan

I have been wanting to go to the Japanese Gardens at Ohori Park in the middle of Fukuoka City for sometime now and with Autumn in full swing the thought of seeing some red crimson Japanese Maple Leaf gave me even more motivation to go and check it out. The location of this attraction can be seen from the outside but only the tops of the trees so I really wasn`t expecting too much but once inside I was in fact blown away by the size, features and overall ambience of the place. Not only are the gardens impeccably maintained but the central pond really sets the centerpiece of the whole place. I was a little rush for time on this day and only spent around 25 minutes here but in all honesty I could have easily spent an hour or more here, just lapping up the breathtaking scene and ambience. On this day, the Teahouses and outer buildings were closed but I lucked out with 2 sets of Japanese couples getting professional pictures taken around the grounds. I wished them luck, sent a message of congratulations and was able to snap a couple of photos of the ladies and gents in their magnificent Kimonos. I am sure the gardens are pristine all year long but i will absolutely want to come back during spring to see the Cherry Blossoms and Azalea foliage during this period. Once I get the times and the booking process under control I will also document and blog about the Green Tea Ceremonies that are held twice a month. I am looking forward to see what kind of facilities are available for the International Travelers as I may include this traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony on my Fukuoka Walking Tour Itinerary.

Fukuoka Yahuoku! Dome

Reviewed By Justbackandlovedit - Dublin, Ireland

The devotion of the fans is simply great and I found this possibly even more entertaining than any visit to an American baseball stadium. The food was delicious and the beer girls were very friendly and efficient. We got our tickets through Klook and were guided to our seats. Highly recommended if you're in Fukuoka!
