Largest mall in the area I believe. Ample of parking and no crowdedness. However, the food court was really hot and I wish they had more AC going on. plentiful of stores and there is a grocery shopping center at the bottom floor. Food court options are ample and they also have a theater. Game center was large, but staff was low-key rude.
A mid sized typical suburban shopping mall. Pretty much everything you expect, large grocery store, movie theaters, shops, restaurants, a food mall, game zone, department store, pet store, cleaners, Mobile phone stores, etc. Very busy on weekends and holidays. Decent prices. Free parking.
This is the biggest shopping mall I have visited in Fukuoka Prefecture. It has everything; a variety of specialty shops, a large selection of eateries, and plenty of activities to do during your shopping spree. They even a large section reserved just for kids.
You can find different kinds of stores inside. Some recreation and fitness gym as well and movie house. Lot of food courts to choose from. They hae pet shop as well. Over all good place to go for shopping abd hang outs with families and friends.
Has everything you would expect from a Aeon. The parking is so big you can always find a space easily.
For the size of town and location, you can find pretty much what you need... it’s a big Aeon group so you see same stuff at any other Aeon mall.... weekends and especially holidays are busy!
Its a nice little mall. Clean and with a lot of stuff.
There is a hair store next to the entrance

(Translated by Google) I went back because it was going to be lit up. Unlike the first day, the hydrangeas were beautiful and the lighting was wonderful (^-^) Everyone's hard work paid off☆ I'm really glad I came♪ (Original) ライトアップするとの事で再訪問しました〜 初日と違って紫陽花も綺麗だったしライトアップもとても素敵でした(^-^) 皆さんで頑張った成果ですね☆ 本当に来て良かったです♪

There arevso many flowers. And momiji
(Translated by Google) ● reiwa07,2025,06,24,tuesday,12,36 pm just, rain & cloudysky... by japan,s style expression I finally managed to come here today. The hydrangeas, one of the flowers of the season, are impressive, but the lilies are also spectacular. There are also hydrangeas planted on the slope around the large pond behind the park, but I thought it would be better to plant a few more. Also, trimming and maintaining the undergrowth is very important. ● reiwa07,2025,06,23,monday,11,52 am just, cloudysky... by japan,s style expression Yesterday, I happened to arrive late, after 6:00 p.m., but the park was closed as expected. I came to see the hydrangeas. Well... I guess that can't be helped. However, today, Monday, in the morning, I came again, but ① "Did they stop because it rained?" Was it just by chance that it was a ② "closed day"? First-time visitors would have no idea, but Flower Park was closed (completely closed). I had no choice but to somehow slip through the chains at the entrance and electric wires at foot height, and finally made it to the Flower Park reception entrance. I also took a few photos around the entrance/before and after. (Original) ● reiwa07,2025,06,24,tuesday,12,36 pm just, rain & cloudysky・・・by japan,s style expression 今日、やっとくることができました。今の季節の花の1つ「紫陽花」もさることながら「ユリ」も圧巻ですね。 裏手の大池の回りの坂手側にも、紫陽花が植えてありますがもう少し植えてみたらどうかなあと・・・思いました。あと、下草等の刈り込み・管理等も非常に大事ですね。 ● reiwa07,2025,06,23,monday,11,52 am just, cloudysky・・・by japan,s style expression 昨日はたまたま、遅くなって着いたのが18,00以降だったんですが公園はやはり、しまっていました。「紫陽花」を見に来たのです。まあ・・・しょうがないですね。 ところが、今日の月曜日、午前中、もう1度、きたのですが ①「雨が降ったので止めた」のか?たまたま ②「休園日」だったのか?初めてくる客には全く、わかりませんが・・・花公園はやすみ (完全閉鎖) でした。 しかたがないので、入口のチェーンと足元の高さの電気線等をなんとか、潜り抜けて、ようやく、花公園の受付の入口まではいらせてもらいました。 尚、入口付近 / 前後を若干、写真をとらせてもらいました。
(Translated by Google) This time, it was only for four days, June 28th and 29th, and July 5th and 6th. I came to see the flower water fountain with hydrangeas spreading across the waterfall pond. The colorful hydrangeas floating on the pond were a spectacular sight and looked cool. As I was strolling around the garden, where seasonal flowers were in full bloom, I heard the chirping of cicadas for the first time this year. It was hot!! (Original) 今回は6月28日29日、7月5日6日の4日間限り。滝池一面に紫陽花が広がる花手水を見るため来園しました。池に浮かぶ色とりどりの紫陽花は圧巻で涼しげでした。園内季節の花が咲き誇り散策してると今年初、蝉の鳴き声耳にしました。暑!!
(Translated by Google) Fukuchi Sanroku Flower Park in Nogata City! It's a place that can be enjoyed by everyone, from children to adults! There are lots of seasonal events, so I highly recommend it! During events, the director keeps things entertaining! When you think of Nogata City, you think of Flower Park!! When you think of Halloween, you think of Flower Park!! Thank you for always giving us so much fun! (Original) 直方市にある、福智山ろく花公園! 本当に子供から大人まで楽しめる場所です! 季節ごとのイベント盛りだくさんで、本当におすすめです! イベントの時は、園長さんがたくさん楽しませてくれます! 直方市と言えば、花公園!! ハロウィンと言えば、花公園!! いつも楽しませてくれて、ありがとうございます!
(Translated by Google) This is my second visit. There are many flowers to see in the garden, including hydrangeas, lilies, and roses. It took about an hour to walk around the garden slowly. There is a grassy area, so even small children can enjoy it. The hydrangea flower water fountain was held. 2025/6/28 (Sat) 29 (Sun) 2025/7/5 (Sat) 6 (Sun) 9:00-17:00 I went around noon on the last day, and it was very beautiful. There were many lilies, lotus flowers, water lilies, etc. in the garden. It was hot, but I enjoyed it very much. I finished off with shaved ice 🍧, which was delicious. (Original) 今回2度目の訪問です。 園内は紫陽花、百合、薔薇など たくさんのお花を観賞出来ました。 園内をゆっくり回って1時間程度 芝生の広場があるので、 小さなお子さんも楽しめますよ。 あじさい花手水が開催されました 2025/ 6/28(土) 29(日) 2025/ 7/ 5 (土) 6(日) 9:00~17:00 最終日のお昼頃に行きましたが とても綺麗でした そして園内にはたくさんのユリ 蓮の花、睡蓮などなど 暑かったですがスゴく楽しめました 〆はかき氷🍧美味しかったです
(Translated by Google) This is a recommended flower park at the foot of Mt. Fukuchi, not far from Nogata. 😃 I visited on a weekday in late March, and the cherry blossoms 🌸 were in full bloom and very beautiful 😆. It was also a cloudy day with a temperature of around 20℃, so many people spread out their lunch boxes 🍱 on the grass and were taking comfortable naps. It's not as beautiful as Kusumi Flower Park, but you can expect to see nemophila and moth phlox from this time of year through early summer. I think it's a hidden gem! (Original) 直方から程近い福智山の麓にあるオススメの花公園です😃 私は3月下旬の平日に訪れたのですが、桜🌸は満開でとてもキレイでした😆 そして、20℃前後で曇り☁の日でしたので、皆さん芝生広場にお弁当🍱をひろげて、気持ちよさそうに昼寝をしてらっしゃる方も結構いましたね。 久住の花公園程ではないですが、この時期から初夏にかけて、ネモフィラやシバザクラが期待出来るのではないでしょうか。 穴場スポットだと思いますよ!

Masayoshi Sukita's can't miss photography exhibit
(Translated by Google) This art museum is a renovated Western-style hospital built in the early Showa period. A new building was added in 1998. After the late owner Kinya Tanio passed away, it was donated by the bereaved family and operated by Nogata City. Great retro and modern look You can enjoy this alone, but the interior has also been rebuilt while retaining some of the vestiges of the past. The design and interior of the reception room and tea room are stunning. You can enter for 100 yen when only the permanent exhibition is on display, but be aware that if there is a special exhibition, the price will skyrocket. I think it's better to check in advance. It may depend on the content of the project, but what's interesting about this museum is that you are allowed to take photos and post them on SNS. Parking is available next to the museum (free of charge). In case the parking lot is full, there is a paid parking lot nearby. (Original) 昭和初期に建てられた洋風建築の病院を改装した美術館。 1998年に新館を増設。 オーナーの故谷尾欽也氏が逝去した後、遺族からの寄贈を受け、直方市が運営しています。 レトロでモダンな外観が素晴らしい これだけでも楽しめますが、内部も、昔の面影も残しつつ、新しく造られています。 応接室・茶室は室内のデザインや内装が見事です。 常設展のみの時は100円で入場できますが、特別展示がある場合は、料金が跳ね上がるので注意。事前に確認した方がいいと思います。 企画内容によるかも知れませんが、この美術館で興味深いのは、撮影とSNSへの掲載が認められています。 駐車場は美術館横にあります(無料)。 万一満車の場合は、近くに有料駐車場があります。
(Translated by Google) There is a free parking lot for the museum about 30 meters south. Admission fees for the permanent exhibition are: Adults: 100 yen (60 yen) / High school and university students: 50 yen (30 yen) / Junior high school students and younger: Free A separate fee applies for special exhibitions. Opening hours are 9:30-17:30 (entrance until 17:00) (Original) 南に30m位行った所に美術館専用の無料の駐車場があります。 入館料は常設展については一般:100円(60円)/高大生:50円(30円)/中学生以下:無料 企画展については別料金が必要です。 開館時間は9:30~17:30(入館は17:00まで)
(Translated by Google) Admission is 100 yen for adults, and you can see paintings, ceramics, bronze statues, and other works by artists with ties to Nogata and Fukuoka. Although it is small, there are collections and reproductions of elementary school students displayed side by side. It was a warm museum rooted in the local community. The building was originally used as a hospital, and the restroom tiles and window glass are retro and cute. (Original) 大人100円の入館料で入ることができ、直方や福岡にゆかりのある作家の、絵画、陶芸、銅像などの作品を鑑賞できます。 小さいけれど、収蔵品と小学生の模写が並べて展示してあったり、 地元に根ざした温かい美術館でした。 元々病院として使われていた建物は、お手洗いのタイルや窓ガラスがレトロで可愛いです。
(Translated by Google) It's a small local art museum! It uses a building that is a registered tangible cultural property, so in some ways it's luxurious! It exhibits works by people from Fukuoka Prefecture, so I want to support it! (Original) ロ−カルの小さい美術館です! 有形登録文化財の建物を利用しているので、ある面贅沢かも知れません! 福岡県出身者の作品展示なので、応援したいですね!
(Translated by Google) The old Okuno Hospital has now been turned into an art museum. Currently, the cat 🐱 exhibit is on special display, and the history of Okuno Clinic is on permanent display. The retro atmosphere will make you forget about time for a while 😊 (Original) 昔の奥野医院がそのまま美術館になっています。今は猫🐱の展示が特別展示、奥野医院の歴史が常設展示されていました。レトロな雰囲気に暫し時間を忘れます😊
(Translated by Google) The daughter of Ms. Kunimori from Omuta City, who is a leader of the 10 members of the Tojinmachi group from Tojinmachi, who I knew from Seinan University and lived there, is a multitalented person who has made the Mitsui Coal Mine the subject of her life's work. Until the 29th of this month, the Nogata Tanio Art Museum is holding an archive exhibition and paintings related to Black Diamond are on display in the adjoining exhibition.It was so wonderful that I visited it for the second time! ️ (Original) 西南大からの付き合いで、住んでいた唐人町から唐人町グループのメンバー10人のリーダー大牟田市の國盛さんのお嬢様は、多芸多才な人で、ライフワークとして、三井炭鉱を題材にしています。今月の29日まで、直方谷尾美術館で、アーカイブ展と、併設して黒ダイヤに、関連した絵を展示されています、素晴らしいので、二回目お邪魔しました‼️
