This is a perfect place for family activities. You can literally spend your whole day here until the park is closed.
There are play park for kids, there are foods. There are flower gardens, a route for cycling and running. Camping and glamping ground, forest, horse riding farm, hotel and aquarium is nearby.
We rent bikes for the whole day, 500¥ per person which is very cheap. You can go everywhere with your bike, just don't forget to stay on the bike lane and park in the designated spots.
A fun aquarium that's clearly geared towards children. When I went, there were very many children. This made it very loud and chaotic. Worse, some banged on the glass to get the animal or fish's attention. Many parents were not minding their children's manners. Though, I should say that I think many families were not Japanese. Perhaps more staff in the halls to police guests' behaviour would improve things.
Very little English language information, so if you can't read Japanese like me, you're there for the visuals alone. There is a dolphin show and separate enclosures, so that's up to your stance on them.
The restaurant was full so I cannot say anything about its service or food.
Getting there is simple enough if you take a train or drive.
If you're into birds, quite a few in the area to spot as well. I saw a Black Kite and a kestrel.
What a fantastic park perfect for a day out with the whole family 450 yen entrance can rent a bicycle for the day for 500 yen well worth it has a small zoo loads of bird watching ponds views over the beach/coastline adventure park hotels cafes
Do remember to come in the RIGHT season. Otherwise, you cannot see any beautiful flower field.
I visited the park in mid-March. Neither sakura nor flower field were visible…so please check the information on official website.
During my visit, There were some tulips🌷 and some little yellow narcissus. We were quite disappointed..
The park is actually big, consists of many playgrounds, gardens and facilities. An animal area and a car exhibition located inside the park. Kids will love the playground and adventure area. Recommend the visitor rent a bicycle instead of walking around…
You may need one whole day to enjoy the amusements.
However, I was confused about the map and guide.. and can’t direct to where I wished to go. There were not much staff in the park.
I visited in late November (yesterday!) on weekday when the weather totally perfect, neither too hot nor too cold. Entrance fee ¥400 for adults.
If you’re too tired to walk, just use the bicycle or scooter.
I took the route from Saitozaki station, enter through the west entrance, then go to the flower hills passing the pound, my destination is seaside hills shioya, and went to shiomidai look out. I finish the tour in the uminonakamachi station. I think it took approximately almost two hours walk. If you wanna enjoy more please come early!
This is my recommended destination to visit in Fukuoka near the Hakata.
Enjoy Fukuoka!
