#Travel to save the world Nishi Park in Fukuoka is a popular cherry blossom viewing spot. Thousands of cherry trees bloom in spring, with beautiful views of the city and Hakata Bay. Inside the park, there are interesting stone steps and shrines. The atmosphere is peaceful, suitable for picnics and photography, especially in late March to early April when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Easy access: about 15 minutes on foot from Ohori Koen subway station, or take a bus to Nishi Koen stop and walk for another 10 minutes.

#Fukuoka cherry blossoms For those who like to travel to Japan, come to Fukuoka to see the cherry blossoms! As a Fukuoka citizen for many years, now I will share with you the super dry cherry blossom viewing strategy, no advertising, pure sincere water. From March 22 this year, the cherry blossoms in Fukuoka will be in full bloom. The first recommendation is Oho Park, the most convenient photo spot in the city. There are many kinds of cherry blossoms and they are concentrated. It is built in imitation of the West Lake. The Maizuru Park next door is also good. In addition to a variety of cherry blossoms, there are also chrysanthemums, which match the ancient charm of Fukuoka Castle. During the Cherry Blossom Festival, a picnic under the trees is great. Needless to say, Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine has flowers all year round. The cherry blossoms are drooping low in spring. It's great for taking pictures. It's 20 minutes by West Rail from Tenjin Station. There is a 15-minute walk from West Park to Oho Park. In the past, Guo Moruo skipped school for it. The view of Fukuoka Pier Bay from the top of the park is so beautiful that you can't help but blink. Want to see cherry blossoms by the sea? Rent a bicycle at Usunaka-do Waterfront Park and walk through the cherry blossom tunnel. It's so romantic that you can also go into the aquarium to watch the dolphin show. In short, there are so many good places to see cherry blossoms in Fukuoka that you can't count them. Even the cherry blossoms in the small park are very beautiful.

#Cherry blossoms 📍Nishi Park 🌸When you go to see cherry blossoms in Fukuoka, you often go to Ohori Park. I also highly recommend Nishi Park, where you can see the ocean and cherry blossoms at a glance, and where there is a pretty shrine. It is a famous cherry blossom spot in Fukuoka, especially with many locals rather than tourists❤️ There is a bus from Tenjin or Hakata to Nishi Park. After that, it is easy to walk to Ohori Park Station after walking, so please keep that in mind🙋🏻‍♀️ #Fukuoka

I have been to a few of parks for cherry blossoms during the sakura season in Japan, but Nishi Park is No.1 to me! Nishi Park is a park located within the heart of Fukuoka City, which takes about 15 mins bus from Tenjin district. The park is on a hill whereby you can get a panoramic sea view while enjoying the beautiful cherry blossoms. The park is a good place for a weekend outing where you can do picnic and chill under the cherry blossoms. Most importantly, it is less crowded compared to Maizuru Park in Fukuoka. I definitely had a great morning spent at the park.

Nishi Park is quite famous for its cherry blossoms. I wonder if the transport connections could be improved, but if you're on a bicycle it's not an issue, so it's perfect for a stroll around the area.

At Nishi Park in Fukuoka, spring paints the city in a thousand shades of pink. I wandered through ancient stone paths lined with cherry trees in full bloom, each gust of wind sending petals fluttering like confetti. From the hilltop, Hakata Bay sparkled under the afternoon sun—city views framed by sakura blossoms. Locals picnicked under the blooms, and the air buzzed with laughter, grilled street snacks, and the magic of the season. As I stood beneath a 100-year-old cherry tree, I felt time pause—this was hanami bliss, pure and simple. A serene, scenic treasure in urban Fukuoka. #cherryblossom25

#FukuokaSakura #Fukuoka #Sakura If you visit Fukuoka in spring, you can’t miss the cherry blossom viewing. The cherry blossom season in Fukuoka is mostly from late March to early April every year, with Maizuru Park and Nishi Park being the most representative. Maizuru Park is surrounded by the ruins of Fukuoka Castle. The cherry blossoms and stone walls complement each other, creating a historical and poetic atmosphere. Climbing up to the castle tower, you can overlook the entire pink sea of ​​flowers, which is a beautiful sight. Nishi Park is located on the Kodaka Hill, and offers a view of the spring scenery of Hakata Bay and cherry blossom forests. It is a favorite picnic spot for locals. You can have a picnic and relax under the cherry trees during the day, and in the evening you can enjoy the night cherry blossoms after they are lit up, which is a unique experience. The whole city is filled with joy and romance during the blooming period, and convenient transportation also makes the flower-viewing trip easy and enjoyable. Spring in Fukuoka is a cherry blossom viewing paradise where tranquility and bustle coexist, and it is worth experiencing in person. #FukuokaSakuraSeason
