[2025 Fukuoka Attraction] Travel Guide for Rakusuien (Updated Apr)

Leshui Garden is a "green scenic spot" surrounded by the characteristic walls of Hakata. Opened in Heisei 7 (1995) and built in Meiji 39 (1906), it was originally a Hakata merchant's village, and was later rebuilt into a Japanese garden surrounded by water. There are four tea rooms in the Fragrance Water Garden of Tea Soup, of which two rooms are provided for general visitors and are often used for tea parties or as a tea ceremony classroom. In front of the tea room, there is a vast Japanese garden with bright green moss. In addition to the greenery in the garden, there are also beautiful Japanese flowers and green trees swaying in the wind. Visitors can choose to taste matcha and tea desserts in the tea room or in the open-air courtyard, feel the rare peace away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and experience the leisure and elegance of Hakata merchants at that time. In the Japanese garden, there is also a shuiqin cave. You can hear the clear sound of the water droplets falling, so there are often wild spots here, that is, outdoor tea ceremonies. The autumn leaves at Rakusuiyuan, a scenic spot for autumn leaves, are very late in Fukuoka City, about 2 weeks later than other autumnal leaves attractions. The flower viewing season is about mid-December. Visitors to Rakusuiyuan can try their luck. In autumn, the red leaves of 100 maple trees quietly change color, and the scene is beautiful. Rakusuien holds different events almost every month, such as tea ceremony classes, yukata wearing classes, thanksgiving festivals, matcha experience events, and more. In addition, there are rooms such as tea room, iris room, and toon tree room, which can be used at your own expense.
