Hakata Port Tower, conveniently located near the Marine Messe Fukuoka – the venue for the World Swimming Championships, is a free-to-enter attraction. Visitors can marvel at panoramic views of Hakata Bay and the city of Fukuoka from the tower’s 70-meter-high observation deck. Throughout the year, the tower is beautifully illuminated, showcasing refreshing blue tones in the spring and summer and warm oranges during fall and winter, adding a dynamic atmosphere according to the seasons and events.
