Traveler highlights
Built for the 1989 Asia-Pacific Exposition, Fukuoka Tower is a 234-metre landmark on the Momochihama waterfront and Japan’s tallest seaside tower. About 8,000 mirrored panels form its triangular exterior, lit seasonally and specially for Christmas and Tanabata. The 123-metre observatory looks over Fukuoka and Hakata Bay, with city lights after dark. Public floors include a restaurant, café and observatories; the tower also transmits TV signals. Completed in 450 days, it sometimes hosts stair-climbing events on Golden Week and Sports Day, up 577 emergency steps.
