Fukuoka Tower

福岡タワー

Fukuoka Tower stands 234 m tall by the sea and is Japan's tallest seaside tower. It was built as a monument for the Asian-Pacific Exposition held in Fukuoka in 1989. The observation decks are on three floors, at 116 m, 120 m and 123 m above the ground, with wide views over the city and the sea. In the evening, the tower is lit up from sunset until around 11:00 p.m.

  • Observation decks can have long waits at sunset and on weekends. A timed ticket helps you keep to your prayer times.
