Supervised by :  油山リージョナルデザイン

Approx. 30 minutes by car from central Fukuoka City, Aburayama Farm and Shimin no Mori are wrapped in lush nature that feels hard to believe this close to the city. Renewed in 2023 as "ABURAYAMA FUKUOKA," this area offers a multifaceted nature experience where the forest, farm, and campground come together as one.

Across its vast grounds, you'll find walking trails and observation decks where you can enjoy the changing seasons, a nature observation center where you can learn about wild birds and plants, and a farm where you can interact with animals, allowing both adults and children to spend time however they like. In particular, the Central Observation Deck offers a spectacular view stretching over Fukuoka City and all the way to Hakata Bay, one of the area's biggest draws, with an open, away-from-it-all feeling.

From cherry blossoms in spring and fresh greenery in early summer to autumn leaves and the crisp air of winter, each season brings different scenery to enjoy. Even a slow walk through the forest, taking in the quiet and natural colors, can refresh both body and mind. There are also cafes and restaurants, along with well-equipped outdoor facilities for BBQ and camping that you can enjoy without bringing your own gear, making it suitable for both casual nature outings and more serious stays.
