Nishi Park, Urban park in Aoba-ku, Japan.

The park extends over 170,000 square meters of hilly terrain, offering views of Fukuoka City, Hakata Bay, and Shikanoshima Island from multiple vantage points.

Established in June 1875 during the Meiji period, the park represents an early example of Japan's efforts to create public green spaces in urban environments.

The park contains 1,300 cherry trees, which earned recognition as one of Japan's Top 100 Cherry Blossom Viewing Sites for spring celebrations.

Visitors can access the park through multiple transportation options, including Nishitetsu Bus services and Fukuoka City Subway connections to nearby stations.

The park preserves an evergreen forest dating to the Edo Period, featuring native beech trees with distinctive mesh-patterned bark on their trunks.
