Activity itinerary

Fukuoka Tower

45m
Admission ticket not included

Standing 234 meters tall, this "Mirror Sail" is covered in 8,000 half-mirrors. From the 123m observation deck, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of Fukuoka’s urban skyline and the beautiful Hakata Bay. It’s the perfect spot to get your bearings and see the city's modern layout.

Ohori Park

45m

Modeled after the famous West Lake in China, this park features a massive central pond that once served as the outer moat of Fukuoka Castle. It’s a beloved sanctuary for locals to jog, stroll, or simply relax by the water. You can experience the peaceful, everyday life of Fukuoka citizens here.

Fukuoka Castle Remains

30m

Built in the early 17th century by Kuroda Nagamasa, the first feudal lord of Fukuoka. While the main buildings are gone, the impressive stone walls and gates still stand, telling stories of the Samurai era. The view from the former main keep (Tenshudai) offers a great perspective of the city's historical layers.

Tenjin

45m

The vibrant heart of Fukuoka and the largest shopping district in Kyushu. It’s a fascinating area where modern fashion boutiques sit alongside traditional street culture. Walking through the bustling streets allows you to feel the energetic "pulse" of the city.

Canal City Hakata

45m

Known as a City within a City, this massive complex features colorful, curved architecture and a 180-meter canal. The dynamic musical fountain shows, held every 30 minutes, are a major highlight of Fukuoka's innovative urban design.

Dazaifu Temmangu

1h 30m

A historic shrine dedicated to the deity of learning. The approach is lined with traditional shops selling Umegae-mochi (grilled rice cakes). Crossing the arched bridges representing the past, present, and future is a symbolic ritual before reaching the main sanctuary.
