A population of 1.42 million and an area of 340 km2, designated as the National Genkai Sea Park, Fukuoka with its abundant nature has been a prosperous city for international exchange, opening its gates to the Asian continent from ancient times. Closer to Soul and Busang than Tokyo, Fukuoka has a large number of international flights to Asia and the Pacific. The center of politics, culture and the economy of Kyushu, Fukuoka is also surrounded by locations of abundant nature such as ‘Umi no nakamichi’ and ‘ Shikanoshima’. It is a beautiful city with plenty of vitality.
Representing this city of ours is the Waterfront area ‘Seaside Momochi’. Fukuoka Tower, located at the center of this area was built in 1989 as a monument of the Asian Pacific Expo (Yokatopia), an event to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the enforcement of the Fukuoka City organization.
