Ōhori Park

Ōhori Park centers around a large pond with three connected islands, surrounded by walking paths stretching over two kilometers through landscaped grounds.

The park grounds originated as part of Fukuoka Castle's moat system in the early 1600s before its transformation into a public space in March 1929.

The Japanese Garden within Ōhori Park demonstrates traditional landscaping with central ponds, artificial hills, and seasonal vegetation throughout four distinct areas.

Visitors can access the park through Ōhori Kōen subway station, with rental boats available from spring through autumn for exploring the central pond.

Each winter from November to March, migrating birds from Siberia, including Common Pochards and Black-headed Gulls, gather at the park's pond.
