Kushida Shrine
In the heart of the city is Kushida Shrine. This shrine is believed to be over 1,000 years old! Every year, the local districts around the shrine put on a major festival known as Hakata Gion Yamakasa. During this festival men run around the city carrying giant floats to show the pride of their district.
Umi no Naka Michi
My favorite place in Fukuoka! This massive seaside park has something for the whole family! Naturally, you will often see people with their families enjoying the park. There are bike trails, sea views, a huge playground for toddlers and big kids. They have seasonal flower gardens, disc golf courses, and more! Click here for the official site of Umi no Naka Michi.

Fukuoka Tower
Located at Momochi beach is Fukuoka Tower. For a small fee of about 8 US Dollars, you can enjoy a stunning view of the city. Just a short walk from the tower is PayPay Dome, home of one of the greatest Professional Japanese baseball teams, the Softbank Hawks! Learn more about Fukuoka Tower here.
