The Ohori Park Japanese Garden truly stood out as one of the most stunning places I discovered on my Fukuoka adventure, right up there with Momochi Seaside Park!
It's truly a traditional Japanese garden through and through, offering an incredibly serene and peaceful vibe. Plus, with far fewer crowds than Momochi Seaside Park, it's an absolute dream for a relaxed, unhurried exploration.

I really wanted to experience the garden without the crowds, so I made sure to arrive right at opening time – and guess what? I had the entire place to myself! It was fantastic; even though I was solo, I could set up my tripod and capture all the beauty at my own pace, pure bliss! 😄
The admission fee for adults is ¥250, and a heads-up: it's cash payment only.
Tea Ceremony Experience


Nestled within the garden, you'll also find a lovely spot where you can partake in a traditional tea ceremony.
You can experience this on the first, third, and fourth Tuesdays of each month. The fee is ¥1,000 per person, and remember, that's in addition to your garden admission.
Advance reservations might be required depending on the specific program or organizer, so I highly recommend checking the official website below beforehand to avoid any surprises!

Japanese Garden
Right at 9 AM, as soon as I stepped inside, I was greeted by those incredible fog effects! It created such a mystical, dreamy ambiance that was absolutely breathtaking.



When the fog lifts, you'll see the tranquil and
serene beauty characteristic of a traditional Japanese garden.
There wasn't much shade, so it was quite hot
when I visited in early September.
But precisely because it was so bright, every photo turned out beautifully!


I absolutely love this kind of Japanese aesthetic!
It gives off a 'Spirited Away' vibe 😊


However, one downside is that if you visit in mid-summer,
you might get bitten by swarms of mosquitoes...
I was just standing around, taking photos, and
ended up with about 5 bites ㅠㅠ


The garden itself isn't incredibly vast, so even leisurely strolling and
taking photos only took about 20 minutes.
Evening Experience



They're currently offering evening visits too!
You can experience the garden in a completely different atmosphere compared to the daytime.
