Fukuoka

Fukuoka, Japan downtown city skyline
Probably one of the best views in Fukuoka City - especially sunset and nighttime - would be from the observation deck in Fukuoka Tower, 123 meters above ground. It offers a 360 degree view of the city and a magnificent perspective of the sunset as the slowly fading light glistens on the western sea and hits the beach of Momochi Seaside Park and the structures in Marizon.
Breathtaking sunset colors today (07 September 2019) in Fukuoka as seen from the observation deck of Fukuoka Tower, 123 meters above ground.

One of the few Zen temples I have come across. This is my fifth visit to Japan this year and this temple has some of the most unique roofs I've seen in Japan!
