The Fukuoka Castle Ruins Visitor Center, located within Maizuru Park, serves as an informative gateway to the history of Fukuoka Castle (also known as Maizuru Castle). The center itself is a modern, two-story building that houses detailed exhibits, models, and video presentations about the castle's construction, its role in the Edo period, and the life of the Kuroda clan. Visitors can explore interactive displays and view artifacts recovered from the site. From the center's observation deck, you can enjoy sweeping views of the castle ruins, the surrounding park, and the city skyline. The center is also a great starting point for walking the castle grounds, where you can see remaining stone walls, moats, and the reconstructed castle tower base. The experience is educational and offers a quiet respite from the city, with cherry blossoms in spring adding to the appeal.

Un peu d'histoire

Fukuoka Castle was built in the early 17th century by Kuroda Nagamasa, a daimyo of the Kuroda clan. It served as the seat of the Fukuoka Domain until the Meiji Restoration. Much of the castle was destroyed during the Boshin War and subsequent fires, leaving only the stone foundations and a few gates. The visitor center was established to preserve and interpret this history.
