Looking from the port to the Hakata Port Tower at night, the space looks particularly charming under the lights. The lights are reflected on the sea, like twinkling stars, making people feel the unique charm of this city. The Hakata Port Tower is 80 meters high. Its modern and elegant design makes it even more stunning when it lights up at night. There is also a viewing platform and restaurant in the tower where you can have a leisurely meal (reservation is recommended) and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hakata Bay while enjoying the food. As for transportation, Hakata Port Tower is located in Hakata Port in Hakata District. There are many buses running to and from the tower, and you can also drive there, which is very convenient. Alternatively, you can take the Fukuoka City Subway to Hakata Station, then take a bus or walk for about 10 minutes to arrive.

#Fukuoka Attractions 🕰️Opening Hours: 10am to 5pm 📍Address: Take bus 99 from Hakata Station 💰Average consumption per person: Free visit 💞Reason for recommendation: Hakata Port Tower is one of the iconic buildings of Fukuoka, red mesh structure surrounding the tower, looks quite special, in the evening will also see the red night light, but can only visit during the day, can not see the night view, but the view is quite good, can see the blue water of Hakata Port, and Fukuoka City view, unfortunately no seats 🥲

Address: Hakata Port Tower, 14-1 Chikko Honmachi, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture Recommended points: A radio tower that stands as a landmark in the bay area of ​​Hakata Port, where Bayside Place is located. It is mainly related to radio waves related to shipping, so it is just a tourist spot for the general public, but the good service of being able to enter the observation deck about 100 meters high for free is probably a benefit of the boat racing venue being there. The entrance is also the Bayside Museum of Hakata Port, where you can learn about the history of Hakata Port and materials related to shipping. The observation deck is made of 360° glass and is slightly raised, so you can look down at your feet, which may be a very scary experience for people with a fear of heights. When the weather is nice, be sure to visit the port tower with its spectacular view! #HakataPort #BaysidePlaceHakata #ObservationDeck #Scenery

#JapanTravel 📍Hakata Port Tower ➰If you walk straight from Nakasu Kawabata Station towards the sea, you will come across Hakata Bayside! Port Tower is right in front of you. ➰Now there is Fukuoka Tower, so if you want to see the view, you can go to Momochi Beach and Fukuoka Tower, but in the past, Hakata Port Tower was the observation deck. ㅎㅎ ➰Take the elevator up to the 2nd floor, and the good thing is that admission is free!! ➰I recommend sneaking it into your travel itinerary while going to the beach, port, and bayside restaurants. ➰For reference, you can also take a boat from here to Uminonakamichi. There is one every hour from 10 AM, and it costs 1,100 yen (one way).🥰 #Fukuoka #Hakata

Hello! 🙌 I'm back with my 5-night, 6-day trip to Fukuoka! The last hot spot in Fukuoka that I'm going to tell you about is "Nakasu Riverside"~ ❤️ 📍Nakasu River: 〒810-0801 Fukuoka, Hakata Ward, Nakasu, 8,那珂川 通り Located on an island in Hakata Ward, Fukuoka, Nakasu is a place where you can get a glimpse of the vibrant nightlife! 🛥️🛥️You can taste various Japanese food stall menus at the street vendors lined up along the beach! The prices are a little expensive ㅎ 😍😍 If you go to Nakasu, it's a good idea to ride a yacht like me and see the beautiful night view of Fukuoka! 😆 30 minutes, 1,000 yen (recommended from 6 to 7 PM) 👌 You can see Canal City, Fukuoka Port Tower, etc. from a yacht on the river! I hope you ride it🗼🗼 #JapanTravel #Japan #Fukuoka #FukuokaTravel #Nakasu

This is my first trip to Fukuoka. There are a lot of things to see and do, and it's so much fun. Tomorrow I'm going to Yufuin. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

The leisurely streets of Hakata, Fukuoka, a clean and neat street, and the scenery. Beautiful structures and signs and electronic billboards with a unique Japanese atmosphere. The cleanliness of the streets seems to be enough to enjoy the charm of Hakata. This is everyday life for some, but for tourists, it seems to be an unfamiliar and leisurely observation object. :) #Fukuoka #Hakata #Travel #Japan #HotPlace #Couples

This is Hakata Port Tower in Fukuoka Bedside Place! The second most famous place after Fukuoka Tower 👍🏻 There is also an observation deck, so I recommend going to see the night view :) Local address: 〒812-0021 14-1 Shimizumoto-cho, Fukuoka-ku, Fukuoka-shi, Fukuoka Prefecture 博多ポートタワー #Japan #JapanTravel #PlacesToVisitInJapan #Fukuoka #FukuokaTravel #RecommendedFukuokaTravel #Hakata #HakataTravel

Address: 14-1 Chikko Honmachi, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka-shi, Fukuoka Recommended points: You can go up to the observation deck of the control tower at Hakata Port for free, and since it is made of glass all around, you can see the ocean side and the city of Hakata far into the distance! When the weather is good, you can clearly see the remote islands, and there are information boards installed in various places, so it's easy to understand what objects you can see from this view, and it was a lot of fun! It's not suitable for staying for a long time because eating and drinking are prohibited and there are no benches or other seating spaces, but the spectacular view on the ocean side was so captivating that I could have spent about an hour looking at it. #Autumn trip #Spectacular view #Tower

#cityplaybook Looking for a weekend trip that blends good food, city vibes, and a bit of tradition? Hakata’s got you covered. This lively district in Fukuoka is known for its welcoming energy, legendary ramen, and easy access to both modern spots and cultural gems. I checked into Miyako Hotel Hakata—right by the station and super relaxing. The rooftop spa and city views alone made it worth the stay. For a little sightseeing, I headed to the Port Tower. It’s not super famous, but the views over the bay are surprisingly great—and there were hardly any crowds. Of course, no trip to Hakata is complete without ramen. I went to Shin-Shin, a local favorite with creamy tonkotsu broth and melt-in-your-mouth chashu. Honestly, I’m still thinking about it. On my second day, I took a short trip out to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. The peaceful path lined with trees and red torii gates was the perfect way to wrap up the weekend. Why I recommend Hakata: ・You can go from steaming ramen bowls to serene shrines in one short train ride ・It’s a compact, traveler-friendly city that’s full of flavor and charm 📍Hakata, Fukuoka City, Japan #Hakata #Fukuoka #WeekendTrip #ShinShinRamen #DazaifuTenmangu #PortTowerViews #CityGuide #JapanTravel #UrbanEscape #PerfectWeekend

#FukuokaItinerary #FukuokaAttractions #FreeAttractions #GoodPlacesInFebruary2025 Simply join me for a day to visit the main attractions in Fukuoka by foot, subway or bus, and it's all free🆓. When I first came to Fukuoka, of course I wanted to worship the local guardian deity and pray for blessings🙏. I walked through the #HakataThousandYearsGate and visited #Tochoji, #Joutenji, and #KushidaShrine. Kushida Shrine has a long history and has been worshipped by locals since ancient times as the ancestral god and chief guardian of Hakata. The Hakata #GionYamakasa is held every July and was listed as a #WorldIntangibleCulturalHeritage by the United Nations in 2016. In the afternoon, I took a 10-minute bus ride to #HakataPortTower🗼. As the saying goes, "If you want to see a thousand miles away, you must climb to a higher level." You can overlook the scenery of Hakata Port by climbing the tower. At dusk, I took the subway to #NakasuKawabata. Walking along the river makes me feel very relaxed. There are vendors selling traditional Fukuoka snacks on both sides of the river, where you can experience the authentic food culture of #台屋. Walk for about 10 minutes more and you will reach #HakataCanalCity. This large shopping mall will have a fountain⛲️laser⚡️ show at night, and you can also eat and shop. After buying souvenirs, we returned to the hotel in just the right time. I really am "living in Fukuoka but not knowing how lucky I am", I am very happy☺️.

It is a free observation deck not far from the Fukuoka Cruise Terminal. It is quite small compared to the Fukuoka Tower, but it is understandable because it does not charge a fee. It is not far from Nakasu Kawabata, so it has the advantage of being easily accessible. And the view at sunset is especially beautiful. I recommend visiting at sunset. #2025Overseas Travel Event
