Ohori Park

Japan may be known for its beautiful, tiny gardens, but definitely not for its big parks.  I think the Borg have more green space per capita than the Japanese.  That said, Fukuoka is home to the very large Ohori Park, a green space which boasts actual castle ruins.  How the park architects managed to resist the urge to reconstruct the castle in question is a mystery.
