Fukuoka Tower

福岡タワー

Momochihama (Seaside Momochi), Sawara-ku, Fukuoka · near Nishijin Station (Fukuoka City Subway Kuko Line), then bus

Fukuoka Tower in Momochihama (Seaside Momochi), Sawara-ku, Fukuoka. Japan's tallest seaside tower (234 m) with a glass-walled 123 m observation deck looking over Hakata Bay and the city, plus a 'skywalk' floor section.

Why children love it: Japan's tallest seaside tower (234 m) with a glass-walled 123 m observation deck looking over Hakata Bay and the city, plus a 'skywalk' floor section.

Honest drawbacks: It is essentially a viewpoint (a short visit), there is no direct subway station so you finish with a bus or walk, and clear days are best.
