Fukuoka Castle Ruins & Maizuru Park

福岡城跡・舞鶴公園

Fukuoka Castle was built in the early seventeenth century by Kuroda Nagamasa and became the center of the Fukuoka Domain. The surviving stone walls, gates, and foundations extend across a hill in present-day Maizuru Park. The national historic site offers views over central Fukuoka and is also known for seasonal plantings, including extensive cherry blossoms.
