Ohori Park and Old Town Hakata

We are leaving Japan today going home. But we still had half a day left in Fukuoka, so we visited the Ohori Park, which is built around a huge pond in the middle of the city. In the pond there are three islands connected to each other with bridges. Groves of pines and willows give the necessary shade in the 30 degrees sunny weather.

After the park we checked out Hakata old town hosting the Sōfuku-ji Zen Temple. Originally the temple was established in Dazaifu in 1240, but was later moved to its present location in the 17th century. We couldn't enter the buildings, but did meander outside and took some shots.

Today Fukuoka --> Tokyo (Haneda) --> Helsinki --> Berlin.
