Fukuoka Castle Park is a great place for a walk around the huge walls & foundations. Few structures remain and not much has been reconstructed - there's far more to see at Kanazawa Castle Park, for example. Best place in Fukuoka for cherry blossoms.
This park is the place to be for cherry blossoms in Fukuoka. It seemed to me that all of the action is here; however, there is a 300 yen charge for the castle and it's only charged at night. Interestingly, if you loiter around during the day and stay past sunset, someone cordons off the area and you have to pay 300 yen to EXIT. I don't know how this can be enforced, but the signs are there. Crazy...
almost all is gone. some foundations still visible, but mostly gone. pity!
however, it's next to a large park and that makes it a pleasant stroll.
A lovely view from the top but quite over grown and few blocks left is the castle and its grounds. The beat part is the view of the city.
Walked a long way via other places of interest and found this one. It was quiet and more of a stroll in the park. Some nice castle remnants can be seen.
