Yusentei Park

Yusentei Park is a beautiful Japanese garden. Originally, it was built as a second house of Kuroda Tsugutaka, the 6th lord of Fukuoka. The place was named after a poem of Kuze Michinatsu, which appreciates the coolness of the spring water in the summer and the cloistered life at the house. This atmospheric garden is illustrated in an old picture record along with Fukuoka castle in the North-east. In the picture you can see the garden with its main island, the pond and stream taking water from Hii River.
