There is a walking path around the circumference of the pond that is just a little over two kilometers long and is popular for jogging and leisurely strolls by the water. Ohori is Japanese for moat, and the pond at the center of the park once served as part of the moat system of the neighboring Fukuoka Castle. The park was constructed between 1926 and 1929 and designed after the classical garden style of the West Lake in China. There are three islands in the middle of the pond that are connected to the mainland and each other by elegant stone bridges. Fukuoka Castle Jonai, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka, Fukuoka Prefecture Phone: +81 92-711-4666 Hours: Always Open Admission: Free The ruins of Fukuoka Castle (福岡城跡, Fukuokajoato) are located in the middle of the city in Maizuru Park, named after the castle's alias, Maizuru Castle. During the Edo Period (1603-1867), Fukuoka Castle used to be the largest castle on Kyushu, but it was almost completely torn down after the Meiji Restoration as an unwanted symbol of the feudal past. Nowadays only ruined walls and a few turrets remain, and the park attracts visitors with walking trails and a few lookout points.
