Living in Ohori Park

An upscale residential area very close to downtown, with continuous greenery running from Ohori Park, a large lakeside park, through Maizuru Park on the site of Fukuoka Castle, the city museum of art and Nishi Park. Tenjin is 3 to 4 minutes away without transfers. Its distinguishing features also include frequent patrols, since the US consulate and the courthouse are nearby, and in exchange, as befits a popular residential area, rents are among the highest in Fukuoka City.

This is Fukuoka's best living environment, beside a large lakeside park, served by Ohori-koen and Roppommatsu stations on the subway Kuko Line. With walking paths and abundant greenery including the art museum and the Fukuoka Castle ruins, plus good public safety, it is preferred by families for long-term residence, and access to the city center is easy. Regarded as Fukuoka's leading upscale residential area, rents are on the high side. It especially suits families who want greenery close to downtown along with good public safety.
