Overview

Nishi Park is a lush green park located in the heart of Fukuoka City. Created on the site of Fukuoka Castle, it's a park steeped in history, where you can enjoy the vibrant blossoms of each season. Within the park, you can find remnants of Fukuoka Castle, such as the Otemon Gate, and historical sites related to the Kuroda family, the feudal lords of Fukuoka, allowing for a historical stroll. The spacious lawn is perfect for picnics and relaxation. Well-maintained walking paths are ideal for leisurely strolls or jogs. This park is perfect for those seeking a peaceful escape from the city bustle to reconnect with nature. The history of Nishi Park stretches back to 1601, when Fukuoka Castle was built.

Today, Nishi Park is a beloved gathering place for Fukuoka citizens, hosting numerous events and festivals. Nishi Park is a precious place where you can escape the city's hustle and bustle and enjoy the tranquility of nature. You can enjoy a historical walk, relax on the expansive lawn, or participate in a variety of activities. If you're visiting Fukuoka City, be sure to visit Nishi Park.
