Minojima South Park is one of the cherry blossom viewing spots in downtown Fukuoka. The location is about 2.5 kilometers south of Hakata Station. You can walk slowly along the banks of the Naka River, or sit on the steps and green spaces to relax and watch the scenery, listening to the sound of gurgling water, With the singing of wild birds and watching the fish swimming in the water, both adults and children can experience the surrounding nature with five senses!
Transportation: How to get to Minojima South Park
Before departure, Wendy considered that taking the bus is more convenient for elders and children. He spent time researching the usage of the two apps "NNR-BusNavi" and "NAVITIME Bus Transit", and pay attention to the direction of right-hand driving in Japan when using it on site. Find the stop sign smoothly and avoid taking the wrong direction, so the three people rely on the Xi Railway Bus to save a lot of distance.
Since we went to several community parks and markets earlier in the itinerary, and then transferred to Minojima South Park, if you want to depart from Hakata Station, you can choose to take bus No. 48, 48-1, 48-2, and 63 to "Minojima South Park" Just get off at the bus stop. After you finish the cherry blossom viewing tour in Minojima South Park, you can then walk to Minojima Park and Torii Park and walk all the way back to Hakata Station.

Minojima South Park brief introduction and cherry blossom viewing experience
Most of the cherry blossom viewing spots in Hakata District of Fukuoka are parks, such as Sanno Park, Harumachi/Nishiharu-cho Cherry Blossom Boulevard, Cold Spring Park, Higashihiro Park, etc. Minojima South Park is adjacent to the river bank and planted with cherry trees. The weather is perfect for riding a bicycle or For a walk, some people come here to have a picnic or exercise.However, I agree that Wendy mentioned in the itinerary overview "If it is not for the cherry blossom season to settle in Hakata, I would like to experience the daily life of the local people, otherwise it is not much fun to arrange a visit to the park." If you are planning your itinerary, you will come during the non-cherry blossom season. Feel boring.
The cherry blossom viewing season in Fukuoka falls at the end of March, which is earlier than Kansai (Kyoto-Osaka) and Kanto (Tokyo). In addition to the advance planning of air tickets and accommodation, most of the cherry blossom viewing spots here are unexpected (free) admission, and most tourists go there. The first two districts are crowded, and if you want a leisurely and not noisy view, Fukuoka is definitely the top list.We also choose a grassland to sit down and let the little burger feel what the grass is and what the cherry blossoms are. Such a quiet time is also a happy time, right!
