Fukuoka
Fukuoka city skyline in Japan
Probably one of the best views in Fukuoka City - especially sunset and nighttime - would be from the observation deck in Fukuoka Tower, 123 meters above ground. It offers a 360 degree view of the city and a magnificent perspective of the sunset as the slowly fading light glistens on the western sea and hits the beach of Momochi Seaside Park and the structures in Marizon.
