The 234 m tower is wrapped in mirrored glass that reflects the sky by day and switches to seasonal light shows at night. The lift takes you to the top deck at 123 m, with Hakata Bay and Momochi beach on one side and the city backed by hills on the other. The classic move is to go up just before sunset and stay for the night view. Afterwards, walk the beach out front, where the tower and the Marizon wedding hall on the water line up in one frame. It's a 20–25 minute bus ride from the centre, so give it its own evening slot.
