Seaside Momochi Beach Park
シーサイドももち海浜公園
An artificial beach at the foot of Fukuoka Tower. The European-style wedding building Marizon juts out into the sea, making it a good spot to watch the sunset over Hakata Bay.
Momochi Seaside Park (Jiigyōhama) is an artificial beach about 2.5 km long at the foot of Fukuoka Tower. It opens as a seawater swimming beach in July and August, and the rest of the year it is used for walking and sandcastle building. Marizon, a European-style building complex jutting into the sea from the middle of the beach, houses a wedding chapel, restaurants and the ferry terminal for Umi no Nakamichi. Watching the sunset over Hakata Bay here in the evening, with Fukuoka Tower and the Fukuoka PayPay Dome silhouetted behind you, is wonderful. Nearby are the Fukuoka City Museum and a branch of the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. Admission is free. Getting there: 15 minutes' walk from Nishijin Station on the Airport Line, or about 25 minutes by Nishitetsu bus from Hakata Station.
