Ohori Park, pictured on the first page and at right, was also a gathering place for many GIs. The American Consulate, pictured above, was near the park. The Japanese gardens were beautiful, and the annual fireworks displays were fantastic. One could also stroll around the park, take row boats on the lake, or visit nearby restaurants with park views. Also near Ohori Park are the ruins of Fukuoka Castle, the Fukuoka City Zoo, Nichi (West) Park, and Kinryuji Temple. Since then other attractions have opened in the area, including the Fukuoka City Art Museum, Kourokan archeological site, and others. |

Ohori Park also wasn't far from the ferry landing in Fukuoka. The picture at left is that of the Shimin Kaikan, which was near the ferry landing. |
