Fukuoka Castle and Korokan area is a rare place where officially-designated historical sites from two periods remain: Fukuoka Castle, built by Kuroda Kanbei (Nyosui) and Nagamasa, the founder of Fukuoka Domain, and Korokan, a diplomatic facility from Asuka to Heian Period. The area is also home to cherry blossoms in spring and other seasonal flowers, making it a great place to enjoy nature in all seasons. It is not far from Tenjin and Hakata, and in the adjacent Ohori Park there is an art museum so that you can appreciate art while taking a stroll. This is an area where you can enjoy history, nature, culture and art, both as a tourist attraction and as a place to relax.
