One of my favorite parks placed in the city, Ohorikoen is quite massive, making it a good place for picnics, anytime strolls, jogging, and also has some swan boats for a fun ride in the lake during daytime. If you want to chill for a coffee there is Starbucks.

The red leaves are three-tenths red. Visiting Leishan Qianru Temple in autumn, the combination of red leaves and the temple is really beautiful. Everyone kept taking photos. I also met at least 50 Japanese elderly welfare groups who brought the elderly here to enjoy the red leaves. There are also 500 Arhats inside, which is very spectacular. When the sun shines on the red leaves, it is really beautiful and speechless.

Kushida Shrine is a must-visit shrine when you come to Hakata. You must come to see the Gion Yamakasa. Although I didn't come in July, I didn't see the big Yamakasa in the city, but I can see the Yamakasa in Kushida Shrine.
Read the introduction According to the legend of the shrine, Kushida Shrine was founded in the first year of Tenpyo Hoji (757) and has been the general guardian of Hakata since ancient times. The Hakata Festival is a representative festival of Fukuoka City and is well-known throughout the country.

Of the castle ruins, nothing remains except the stone foundation.
The feudal lord was pragmatic, building only three castle towers: large, medium, and small.
Tamon Turret is overgrown with weeds; the other turrets have only their foundation stones left, while others are merely imaginary.

You can see the waterfall right in front of you. It's impressive and worth seeing, but you can also enjoy fishing for yamame trout. It was my first time to eat yamame trout, and it was delicious. It's a bit far from Hakata, but it's worth going.
