What other travelers are saying about Uminonakamichi Seaside Park
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.
Disclaimer, I visited this park as a single person foreigner in the middle of September.
First it's hot, if you are in the middle of the park to visit the flower garden or hillside there are not many shaded AND spots to sit down.
The real reason to visit this park is to either go to the water park, the zoo, or the Marine world.
If you are expecting to see the flower Hill blooming hopefully it is in season otherwise it is not worth coming here.
We visited during early November which is autumn season with fairly cool weather. The seaside park can be considered as my family’s favourite place in Fukuoka. A small entrance fee to enjoy multiple gardens, wide open fields (with blooming flowers) and activities including a mini zoo (which was larger than what we expected). It was great that visitors are not allowed to drive into the park and bicycles access are restricted in certain areas - this means the park is less rowdy with very safe for the children and elderly.
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!
3* is only because we visited early October, not much to see besides the ocean as the trees haven't started switching to their autumn colors. So if you're after the colors you might want to visit by mid autumn/spring instead!
That aside, this is a great place for everyone who wants to enjoy nature. Also very kid friendly with the parks and the zoo.
