The urban sprawl of Chuo Ward is broken up by green spaces like the botanical garden and adjoining city zoo, home to native Tsushima wildcats. Maizuru Park contains the ruins of Fukuoka Castle, dating to the 1600s, while crowds fill PayPay Dome for baseball games and pop concerts. Modern stores, bars, and casual Japanese restaurants pack the area, which is also dotted with old-world Zen temples and Shinto shrines.
