Assalammualaikum..
We went to Ogi Park from Saga station by train.(JR Karatsu line) for about 280￥.The Ogi station is quite small and there are no atm nerby there.Remember to bring enough cash if you wish to visit Ogi Park.From the Ogi Station, cross the road and walk straight. The journey took us about 10~15 minutes to walk to Ogi Park.You will see signs to lead you to Ogi Park.Along the road, i can see there were many shops selling mizu youkan 水ようかん(kind like sweet bean paste) and flowers. You can just simple refer to maps to lead you to Ogi Park.
Ogi Park is not just famous in Japan, but it is also well known in other countries like Korea and Taiwan. Of course there are cherry blossoms in other countries as well but the sakura in Ogi Park gives more exquisite feelings.We met some Taiwanese and they told us that Ogi Park is famous in Taiwan for the magnificient sakura!

| yaki ika.. yum yum |
There were stalls along the road side selling takoyaki, omocha(toys), yaki ika(grilled squids), kingyou tsukui(fish netting) and much more!Inside the park, there were stalls selling mizu youkan and japanese art crafts. Usually in the morning, people have a walk around the Ogi Park as it was spacious and there were many attractions to watch there. We tasted the mizu youkan there and it was delicious..! Ogi Park is famous with it's mizu youkan.There were also vending machine selling drinks there.
Around 11a.m, people started to bring out their mat and prepare for lunch.Having picnic under a sakura tree is so romantic and relaxing.Remember to bring along mats(bought it from daiso).There is an information booth to refer to if you are in trouble.English is not a problem as the workers there are able to communicate in English and there are maps in English.
