Fukuoka Tower

Fukuoka Tower stands 234 meters tall in the Momochi seaside district, making it the tallest seaside tower in Japan. The exterior is covered with 8,000 panels of half-mirror glass that beautifully reflect the sky and sea. The observation deck at 123 meters offers 360-degree panoramic views over Fukuoka's cityscape, Hakata Bay, the Genkai Sea, and on clear days the mountains of the Kyushu interior. At night, the tower itself becomes a landmark with seasonal illumination displays. The tower was built for the 1989 Asia-Pacific Exposition and sits in the Momochi area alongside Fukuoka PayPay Dome and several beach parks.
