4.3 · 7,177 reviews · GOOGLE_MAPS
About 500 cherry trees grow among the Fukuoka Castle ruins at Maizuru Park—that’s a lot to look forward to on a spring stroll! 🌸 The park spreads around the site of the castle’s main enclosure, bringing blossoms and history together in one walk.
Every spring, the Fukuoka Castle Sakura Festival draws plenty of visitors for cherry-blossom viewing. And there’s a view beyond the flowers: from above the castle ruins, you can look out over the cherry trees and the city. Be sure to take in both! 📸
Inside the park, you’ll find Korokan Ato Tenjikan, and Najima-mon stands at the entrance. Maizuru Park also borders Ohorikoen on its east side, so you can plan to visit both. If the blossoms are your main draw, aim for the spring festival and enjoy a walk among the trees and castle ruins 🌿

A museum and a gate
The park, where Fukuoka Castle remains can still be seen, is home to Korokan Ato Tenjikan. Najima-mon stands at the entrance, too. You could plan a visit alongside neighboring Ohorikoen 😊
