Ohori Park, a place where you can savour rich nature while in the heart of the city, is a place of rest and relaxation for locals and people in Fukuoka. The outer circumference of the pond is about 2 km. A strolling route and the rubber chip-surfaced jogging road are provided, allowing it to take on a role as a ground for developing physical strength and for training. Not to mention jogging and walking, we also recommend strolling along the islands and bridges that link up the north and south side of the park. From the north, which is near to the Ohori Park station (Fukuoka City Subway), we crossed 観月橋 (Kangetsu Bridge) and on to the richly green 柳島 (Yanagi-jima / Willow Island), all whilst leisurely watching the wild birds and the fish swimming in the pond. We also took pictures at the prettily red 浮見堂 (Ukimi-do / Ukimi Pavilion). The varied scenery that we passed by was so much fun! The swan boats and other rental boats were moreover a distinctive characteristic of Ohori Park, with its huge pond. A water-surface stroll beneath the blue sky, truly the best experience!
