Ohori Park
Ohori Park, located in the heart of the city, is one of Japan’s premier urban oases and just a 15-minute stroll from The Ritz-Carlton, Fukuoka and near to Hakata Station. Cherished by locals as a place where people, nature, and art come together, the park features a broad lake crossed by walking paths, abundant birdlife, the Fukuoka Art Museum, a traditional strolling garden, and a Noh theatre.
Jotenji Temple
In the historic district a few subway stops from the hotel stands Jotenji, a Zen temple established in 1242. Its history is closely tied to the transmission of silk-weaving techniques from China and the development of the Hakata-ori style. Sentotei, the dry landscape garden, evokes the Genkai Sea that links this locale with the Chinese mainland. A full view of it is opened to the public each fall.
Kushida Shrine
Two subway stops from our Fukuoka hotel near Hakata Station is Kushida Shrine, which can easily be combined with Jotenji Temple on a tour of local sights. The home shrine of both Hakata Ward and the annual Gion Yamakasa Festival held in July, Kushida is also notable for its 1,000-year-old ginkgo tree, said to have special powers for matchmaking and longevity.
Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine
For a longer excursion and an experience steeped in tradition and lush photo opportunities, pay a visit to Dazaifu Tenmangu, a 45-minute journey by train from the hotel. One of Japan’s most important shrines, this sanctuary is associated with the patron deity of learning. Three footbridges represent past, present and future, and visitors in February and March may see the 6,000 plum trees in bloom.
Yatai Food Stalls
Fukuoka is one of the few cities in Japan where yatai, open-air food stalls, still light up the streets each evening. After a day of relaxation at our luxury spa hotel in Fukuoka, guests can venture out, pull up a stool and enjoy ramen, yakitori, gyoza or oden, a comforting simmered stew. Over beer or sake and easy conversation with the owner, it’s local nightlife at its most authentic.
Tochoji Temple
Tochoji Temple is the first temple established in Japan by Kobo Daishi, a legendary priest whose ninth-century exploits earned him the posthumous title “Grand Master of Buddhist Teaching.” The seated wooden statue of the Buddha here is one of the largest in the country at nearly 11 meters in height. As many as 5,300 tiny Buddha carvings are enshrined on the walls behind it.
