Ohori Park is a pleasant park in central Fukuoka with a large pond at its center. There is a walking path around the circumference of the pond that is just a little over two kilometers long and is popular for jogging, walking pets and leisurely strolls by the water.
Ohori is Japanese for moat, and the park's pond once served as part of the moat system of the neighboring Fukuoka Castle. The park was constructed between 1926 and 1929 and designed after the classical garden style of the West Lake in China. There are three islands in the middle of the pond that are connected to the mainland and each other by elegant stone bridges.

A two-story Western-style building : Starbucks coffee
Kitano Monogatari Museum is a two-story wooden house built in 1907 (Meiji 40), and was originally owned by an American.
After being damaged by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 1995 (Heisei 7), it was scheduled to be demolished, but Kobe City received a donation of the building, dismantled it, stored the parts, and then transferred the parts to a private business operator and rebuilt and relocated to the current location in Heisei 13.
While retaining the original building and making use of the fittings and flooring that can be felt at that time, furnishings are arranged according to each room, such as the lounge, dining room, and guest room, so you can enjoy a different atmosphere in each room.

Kawagoe is a city near Tokyo, where you can feel the time and Japanese tradition
by reproducing shape of Edo street.
Starbucks also uses wood to match atmosphere of the street to create a traditional atmosphere
rather than an urban feeling.
Unlike exterior which focuses on traditional atmosphere, interior has a luxurious feeling by adding a modern feeling.
You can sit in a cafe and hear bell ringing(Time bell tower/時の鐘) four times a day.
