The big city lights

Fukuoka at night can be a strangely beautiful sight.

There are two observation decks open untill 10 pm; the lower one has a ‘couples’ theme for snuggling with a 360 degree view of the city.

It costs ¥800 for an adult to enter, but if you bring a passport, as a foreigner you get a discount of around ¥100.

In the super speedy lift, the staff explain key facts about the tower and its history.

Fukuoka Tower is lit up at night so after you have taken in the view of the city, why not appreaciate the tower itself

Fukuoka Tower by night is the best way to fall in love with the city. I visited the tower on my second day here in Fukuoka, arriving at around 6 pm in order to watch the sun set. From 123 meters above ground level, the view of Fukuoka is mesmerising. Fukuoka has great night life and I think experiencing the tower is an original way to kick off an evening. I hope the photos can speak for themselves, but nothing compares to the reality of this view.
