Ohori-Koen (Ohori Park)

Yesterday and today, we went to Ohori Park in Fukuoka. It's literally a 15 minute walk from our front door. To get there, you have to walk past Fukuoka Castle Ruins as well, which has Ume trees (plum) that are blooming now. In a few weeks, the Sakura blossoms (cherry) will be here. It smells like heaven. Much wildlife lives there as well. Once in the park, there is a pond with a path around it, with a few play areas, a few restaurants, Starbucks, and swan paddle boats. Here are a few pictures of the park, Sophie, and the Ume blossoms. Forgive me, I couldn't decide on just a few. There were many, many people out taking and painting pictures. It was lovely.
