Celebrations for the 50th anniversary of Hakata Port Tower started on Aug. 1, including the “Hakata Bay Stamp Rally”. Designed by Tanaka Naito (who later worked on Tokyo Tower and Tsutenkaku) and built in October 1964, the landmark tower stands at 100m tall in the Hakata Bay area. To take part in the Hakata Bay Stamp Rally, collect stamps at ten locations. If you collect more than 3 stamps before Aug. 31, enter the draw to win cool prizes and tickets! The ten locations are Bayside Place, Hakata Futoh 1st Terminal, Hakata Futoh 2nd Terminal, Hakata Futoh Bus Stop, Fukuoka International Center, Fukuoka Sun Palace, Fukuoka International Congress Center, Marine Messe Fukuoka, Hakata Bay International Terminal, and Nanotsu Okan.
