Romantic Illuminations
During the Fukuoka Castle Sakura Matsuri, there are illuminations offering a wide variety of colors to enjoy. Entrance at night costs 300 yen (high school students and under are free) but there you can find a romantic and colorful ambiance completely different from the dynamic views of day.

Fukuoka Castle Ruins
The Fukuoka Castle was built over the course of seven years by the famous Kuroda Kanbe and his son, Nagamasa. The castle in its completeness was once a magnificent glory, but today it is without the main tower. However, the now present important cultural property designated tamon-yagura (hall turret), ote-mon (main gate), and shio-yagura (sea observing turret) communicate scenes from the castle’s heyday.

Ohori Park
Adjacent to Maizuru Park is the vast Ohori Park whose center is occupied by a large pond. You can ride various types of boats on the pond to relax and enjoy your time. During summer, the park also hosts a hanabi (fireworks) show with around 6,000 fireworks.
