Takefu Central Park

The park was originally developed as the venue for the first Takefu Chrysanthemum Doll Festival, held in 1952. In recent years, it has been reborn as a huge park based on the core concept of creating a space where people of all ages can relax, play, watch, learn, and have fun, under the supervision of local-born and nationally renowned picture book author Satoshi Kako.

A great place for a walk and to relax! The park is pretty spacious, with lots of greenery, open lawn areas, walking paths, and playground equipment, so kids can have a lot of fun too.

When the weather is nice, the vibe is super chill. You can bring a drink, sit around, chat, or have a picnic. The area nearby is pretty quiet too, and it doesn’t get too crowded.

Overall, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and just clear your mind.

It feels really futuristic, but the train cars are actually a bit cramped. If you have luggage, you’ll need to find a good spot to stand.

To reach the upper shrine, you need to start from the trailhead and walk along the Kyushu Nature Trail. The hike isn't too tough, and if you visit during the autumn leaves season, it's truly beautiful!
