Wow. This park looked amazing on google maps, but when we went there it was even more spectacular. We went here for 3 hours in September. Took a ferry from Hakata port (a very nice 15 min ride, not too many waves and you get to see great distance view of hakata city) to Saitozaki ferry terminal. This park is enormous, best way to see everything without taking forever is to hire a bike. It's around 500Yen for 3-4 hours. There are designated bike paths in the park, however you can take the bike in certain areas where there is lot of foot traffic. There are lot of bike stops where you can park and have a walk through different attractions. There is a bit of everything at this seaside park, there is a zoo, bird area, picnic areas, lot of gardens and is very kid friendly too - such as kids pools, picnic benches etc. Great place to go to escape the city for a few hours, especially on a lovely sunny day, whether your a couple or a family, there's something to do for everyone. When we went, there wasn't too many flowers blooming. This place must be exploding with people during cherry blossom season.... If you go to Fukuoka, be sure to come check this place out, you won't regret it xD

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.

Miyajidake Shrine is know for its Hikari no Michi, a direct way from the coast to this shrine, through which the sunset can be observed twice a year without any hindrance. The Okunoin, subsidiary shrines, behind the main building, is also worth visiting.

Since my first visit, I am in love with this wonderful Temple that always takes me to a different era. It is situated in a hidden spot on a mountain with such a wonderful aura and peaceful architecture it is simply a place that I love to visit whenever I can. Definitely on NYE when you get some snow making it even more magical. For those who believe in luck ( I didn't) this place does it for me. Wishing to have financial success or hoping to get a healthy baby just a wish away! Crazy talk? Maybe but all I have wished for at this Temple came true!!! I won't go any further as I know how it sounds to someone who never had this type of experience. For the rest of you, you know what to do :)

Just less than an hour by train from Hakata station and take a few minutes walk. The recline buddha is located on the hill which takes few steps from ground. There are also a small waterfall, a giant statue, many small buddha Statues to see. No entree fee.
8. Old Ito Denemon House

Reviewed By kimitakas - Taichung, Taiwan
It is an old house of Ito Denemon, who made a big fortune by running canon mines. Due to its location, it is not as touristic as Mojiko Retro, but it is absolutely worth visiting even spending one day for its excursion. I cannot understand the architecture well, but the mixture of Japanese and Western styles is very impressive. The garden is also pleasant. It is not an old temple in Kyoto, but you can discover another kind of Japanese beauty.
