The original Fukuoka Tower, since overshadowed by the newer Tower in Momochi.
• Hakata Port Tower.
Still retains a "retro" charm. Maintained by the Hakata Port authorities, this would have dominated the old Fukuoka docks. Good views of the city and over the bay from the top - and it's free. Small "history of the Tower/docks" display at the bottom, though sadly in Japanese only. The Tower is 103m high. See the "Hakata Port" link for more info.
• Looking west over the harbour and Atago bridge, with Momochi in the distance.
It is possible to walk from Tenjin (head for the coast, turn right down Nanotsu-dori, then follow the signs). It is about a mile. Otherwise bus or taxi is best although it is possible to walk from Gofuku-machi subway station if you are moderately masochistic.
