Ohori Park

Ōhori Park (大濠公園 Ōhori-kōen?) is a park in Chūō-ku, Fukuoka, Japan.

The name Ōhori means a trench and it derives from the fact that Kuroda Nagamasa, the old lord of Fukuoka, reclaimed the land called Kusagae which was facing Hakata Bay and made a trench for the Fukuoka Castle.

The present park was reconstructed by Fukuoka City, modeling on the West Lake of China, and opened in 1929.

This park is one of the most beautiful water parks in Japan and loved by local people as a relaxation spot. Fireworks festival is held here in the summer.

The Fukuoka Art Museum and the United States Consulate are nearby.
