What other travelers are saying about Fukuoka Tower

It was my first time here, and the signage was very clear. Across the street is a beautiful waterfront park. The interior layout is well organized, and after about a 20-minute wait, we were able to take the elevator up to the top floor. The night view was stunning — it would be even better to start from sunset. The scenery was charming and captivating, and going up with my husband felt very romantic. We took lots of photos and had a wonderful time. The ride down was even faster. I really enjoyed the experience — definitely worth visiting.

On our second day on our 5days trip, we visited the tower. However, got so tired during the day so we decided to come on the night before we left. I've been to a lot of towers in Tokyo, korea, and Taiwan but I can say that this is the best for me. At the back of it was a seaside momochi where you can spend time with nature. It's the best to see at night. Also, on our first visit there was a food fair and and ice skating park. It's a 10 min walk to payday dome

Breathtaking lookout in the northern part of Fukuoka city. Easy to get to from pretty much anywhere in the city, and guide pamphlets in English, Korean, and Chinese so just about any visitor can get around inside with no problem. The fare of ¥800 is super affordable, and there is plenty to see on the observation deck. There are maps outlining several points of interest in the city, and the view is majestic to say the least. Tons of spots to get amazing photos for families and couples. The ride up in the elevator comes with a short narrative in Japanese and English about the history of the tower and a few other factoids throw in for good measure. It’s a great place to see the city and learn about the landscape as

We visited the tower on the last night of our visit to Fukuoka. The moon was out and the sky was lovely. The elevator ride up was met with s brief speech about the tower and there were nice graphics on display in the elevator for those who didn't want to look outside. The back end of the elevator is see-through glass so you can enjoy the view going up. On the main deck of the tower there were designated spots for selfies and the purchase of momentos. There is food and coffee for purchase as well. The night view is amazing! So for those who enjoy the night scenery I would recommend going to the tower at night. It was January, so around the tower grounds there was a skating rink and lovely holiday decorations as well.
