Travel Walks: Ohori Park (June 2026)

After the castle and the museum, on to Ohori Park next door. A big pond that was once Fukuoka Castle's outer moat, circled on foot — swan boats, intently staring carp, and a Noh theatre. A solo travel walk all about the air by the water.

Castle Hopping: Fukuoka Castle (June 2026)

My second visit to the Fukuoka Castle ruins: lotus on the moat, a slower route through Matsunokizaka, and an excavation under way at the keep base to investigate the castle's long-rumored keep.
