Dobrodošli u Fukuoku

As one of Japan’s largest and most progressive cities, Fukuoka has a lot to offer. Located in the north of Kyushu island, the city has a fantastic location right on the water. Thanks to that, several canals run through the city, creating a lovely atmosphere.

FUKUOKA CASTLE

Fukuoka Castle, also known as Maizuru Castle and Seki Castle, is a castle that once spanned an area of 47,000 square meters. Today only ruins and a small fraction of the original castle remain.

Dio koji je ostao još uvijek je impresivan za vidjeti zahvaljujući svojoj lokaciji visoko na stijeni s pogledom na rijeku Naka.

Najbolje vrijeme za posjetu zamku Fukuoka je prva sedmica aprila kada procvjeta preko 10,000 cvjetova trešnje. To je također vrijeme kada se održava Sakura festival u dvorcu Fukuoka.

ŌHORI PARK

Ohori park je veoma lep i popularan javni park sa velikim ribnjakom u sredini. Oko ribnjaka su ugodne šetnice koje su u proljeće prekrivene prekrasnim trešnjinim cvijetom. Naći ćete i male mostove koji vas vode na živopisna ostrva. Prošetajte i uživajte u prekrasnoj prirodi i miru koje ona donosi.

“Ohori” je japanski naziv za opkop, a park je dobio ime jer je jezero nekada bilo dio opkopa koji je štitio zamak Fukuoka koji se nalazi odmah pored. Planirajte da posjetite zamak Fukuoka i park Ohori dok ste u istom području.

SVETIŠTE SUMIYOSHI JINA

Svetište Sumiyoshi-jina je svetište koje se nalazi na rijeci Naka i vjeruje se da je bilo jedno od najvažnijih mjesta u prošlosti. Sumiyoshi-jina je izgrađena prije više od 1,800 godina da zaštiti i donese sreću pomorcima.

Among other things, the shrine has a counterpart in Osaka, so if you have visited it, you will recognize the building’s architecture as it follows the same traditional style called Sumiyoshi.

SVETIŠTE KUSHIDA JINJA

Kushida Hram je najpopularnija turistička atrakcija Fukuoke, a smatra se i najvažnijim svetištem u gradu. Izgrađen 757. godine, ovo šintoističko svetište najstariji je gradski hram i lokalno stanovništvo ga smatraju zaštitnikom grada.

Ako ste ovdje u julu, morate posjetiti hram Kushida Jinja jer tu počinje najveći gradski festival „Hakata Gion Yamakasa“. Više o festivalu pročitajte u nastavku.

GION YAMAKASA FESTIVAL

Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival je najveći festival u Fukuoki i održava se svake godine početkom jula. Festival traje 2 sedmice i završava se takmičenjem gdje sedam četvrti u četvrti Hakata u Fukuoki se takmiče jedna protiv druge. Takmičenje je vožnja na hronometar i takmičari moraju gurati velike i lijepo ukrašene plovke na udaljenosti od 5 km. Najbrže pobede!

Postoje dvije različite veličine paradnih plovaka. Najveće su visoke 10 metara i teške nekoliko tona. Izložene su u gradu i imaju dekorativnu svrhu. Manja kolica su visoka 5 metara i teška oko 1 tonu i to su ona sa kojima se takmiče.

MARINE WORLD UMINONAKAMICHI

Savršen izlet za cijelu porodicu. Posjetite Marine World Uminonakamichi i doživite morski život Fukuoke izbliza. Između ostalog, akvarijum je dom za preko 100 ajkula koje plivaju u velikom rezervoaru za vodu sa panoramskim staklom.

Ukupno, akvarij ima 70 različitih rezervoara, od kojih je najveći dom za preko 20,000 stvorenja. Obavezno posjetite njihove otvorene akvarijume u kojima možete iskusiti delfine i morske lavove dok uživate u pogledu na zaljev Hakata.

UMINONAKAMICHI PRIMORSKI PARK

Primorski park Uminonakamichi is right next to Marine World and is therefore perfect to visit on the same day. Enjoy a lovely walk among thousands of beautiful flowers and plants such as tulips, sunflowers, hydrangeas, and roses.

Thanks to its 2,000 cherry trees, the park is also one of the most popular cherry blossom spots. In the park, you will also find an amusement park, playgrounds, and pleasant cycle paths. For those interested in cars, there is a museum with old Japanese cars and if you are there in the summer, there is a pool for the whole family to swim in.

SHOPPING

Canal City Hakata is a large shopping complex known as “a city within a city”. A canal runs through the shopping complex creating an airy atmosphere and in the middle of the canal, there is a large fountain that has shows every 30 minutes. In addition to its unique design, Canal City is home to 250 shops, restaurants, a gaming center, and two hotels.

Tenjin Chikagai is Fukuoka’s largest underground shopping mall. It stretches for about 600 meters and has 150 different shops with, among other things, fashion, books, and technology which are spread over 12 avenues. The floors have a European design and the ceilings Arabic design, which together create a pleasant atmosphere.

YANAGIBASHI MARKET

A great way to experience the local culture is to visit a food market. We recommend the food market Yanagibashi Market, although it is small in size, it is called Hataka’s Kitchen.

Yanagibashi je poznat po svježim morskim plodovima, brojnim prodavačima hrane i svježim lokalnim proizvodima. Ovdje lokalno stanovništvo i vlasnici restorana idu da kupuju svoje sastojke. Prošetajte među štandovima i počastite se nečim dobrim za jelo.

SEASIDE MOMOCHI

Seaside Momochi Park is a modern area right on the water and has a lot to offer. Here you will find, among other things, Momochihama Beach, which is an artificial beach and stretches 1km. Around the beach, there are restaurants and shops as well as the possibility to rent jet skis, windsurfing, and paddle boards.

U Seaside Momochi Parku naći ćete i Marizon, koji se nalazi na drugom kraju pristaništa i uglavnom se koristi za vjenčanja. Međutim, ovdje ima nekoliko restorana i trgovina.

Other famous buildings you can find here are Fukuoka Tower, Fukuoka City Museum, and Fukuoka Paypay Dome.

FUKUOKA TOWER

Climb the Fukuoka Tower and enjoy the magnificent view of the city. The tower is the city’s tallest at 234 meters above the ground. Visit one of the observation deck’s three floors and look out over the sea and the city, 123 meters above the ground.

Kula je obložena sa 8,000 ogledala i nacionalni je simbol grada. Preporučujemo posjetu u večernjim satima kako biste vidjeli zalazak sunca sa tornja dok uživate u dobroj večeri u restoranu koji se nalazi visoko u tornju. Uveče je cijela kula osvijetljena i još je ljepša nego danju. Ne želite ovo propustiti!

NAKASU

Ostrvo Nakasu je malo ostrvo u sredini Fukuoke gde reka Naka teče s jedne strane i reka Hakata s druge. Preporučuje se da ovdje odete u večernjim satima kako biste učestvovali u veselju atmosphere and to experience the neon lights reflected in the canal. Here you will of course also find lots of restaurants and street food stalls with all the local favorites.

Good to know is that Nakasu is also a red-light district, which means that here you can come across strip clubs, brothels, and other adult places. But don’t worry, it’s not something you’ll notice as you walk around unless you’re actively looking for it.

JEDI LOKALNU HRANI

ulična hrana (yatai) is a must-try in Fukouka. You will find these food stalls, called Yatai, along the streets outdoors. Yatais are iconic to the city of Fukuoka and you can find them scattered all over the city but the best place to go is Nakasu Island. There are 20 stalls in a row along the canal. They all offer local favorites such as ramen and motsunabe.

Ramen stadion može se naći unutar Canal City Hakata i ima osam ramen restorana s ramenom iz cijelog Japana. Ako postoji jedno lokalno jelo koje biste trebali probati u Fukuoki, to je ramen. Fukuoka je poznata po svom Hakata ramenu ili Tonkotsu ramenu kako ga još zovu. Možete ga pronaći u većini Yatais restorana ili na stadionu Ramen.

DAZAIFU TENMANGU

Ako imate slobodnog vremena i želite istražiti područje izvan Fukuoke, možemo vam preporučiti posjetu Dazaifuu. Na samo 15 km, oko 1 sat vožnje autobusom ili vozom, od Fukuoke ćete pronaći Dazaifu, koji je poznat po svom hramu Dazaifu Tenman-gu, koji je dom stotinama stabala šljiva.

Dazaifu Tenman-gu je udaljen 250 metara od stanice Dazaifu, a put do hrama od stanice pun je malih udobnih prodavnica. Kada ste u hramu, dočekaće vas Torii kapija koja vas vodi do jezerca oblikovanog prema japanskom znaku za srce.

Dazaifu Tenmangu is quite large and has two museums, Muzej Dazaifu Tenmangu i Istorijski muzej Kanko. The first museum is home to all the treasures of the temple and in the second museum, you can learn about the history of the temple.

NANZOIN TEMPLE

15 km istočno od Fukuoke naći ćete Nanzoin hram, jedan od najposjećenijih i najvažnijih hramova u prefekturi. Godišnje ga posjeti više od jednog miliona hodočasnika.

What you don’t want to miss and the reason why most tourists go here is the 41-meter-long reclining Buddha statue. The massive bronze statue weighs 300 tons and is the largest bronze statue in the world. The statue is longer is the Statue of Liberty in New York.

Iza hrama i kipa, postoji lijepa pješačka petlja do slikovitog sela Sasaguri. The walking loop is well-marked and along it, you come across several smaller statues of Buddha, as well as charming streams, bridges, and gardens.
