Introduction

At 234 metres, Fukuoka Tower is the landmark of the seaside Momochi district, clad in over 8,000 half-mirror glass panels and nicknamed the Mirror Sail. From the observation deck you can take in Hakata Bay, the Genkai Sea and the city skyline, while the night illumination changes with the seasons. Below, the Seaside Park and beach are perfect for a stroll, and summer brings a popular fireworks festival. With its lovers' bell and night views, the tower is Fukuoka's famed date spot and the best place to survey the port city where sea and sky meet.
