“The park that made me appreciate Fukuoka.”

I was strolling around with my friends as we were about to go to the Fukuoka tower when we encountered this place - the place that kept us the whole morning to stay and forgot our trip to Fukuoka tower. That's how we were impressed with this park. The pond itself is astoundingly beautiful and impressive due to its large size. Me and my friend were supposed to walk around it but only made half of the trip as the lake was really enormous in size, to think that it is situated in a busy city. What a peaceful place to contemplate after a long day from somewhere, I envy the people who lives nearby here since it is a really good relaxation area where you can jog, bike, play with your pet dog and friends as well as stage mini performances. Quite surprising to find a park like this in the middle of an urban jungle. Not to mention that it is inhabited by various kinds of birds and water creatures that makes it a unique tourist spot in Fukuoka. Cannot say much with other places inside of it that requires entrance as we weren't able to go inside of those since we already enjoyed spending the afternoon roaming around. I haven't been to so many parks during my stay here in Japan but I consider Ohori as one of the best and well-kept public parks of Japan.
