Fukuoka Half-Day Citywalk, don't miss this beautiful coastal route

Returning to Fukuoka City from Futamigaura, it was still early, so I looked at the map and decided to take a Citywalk along the coastline, connecting several of Fukuoka's notable spots. It was actually quite worthwhile, as Fukuoka is the kind of city where you can relax and just wander around. · 🔀Route Washio Atago Shrine → Atago Bridge → Seaside Momochi Beach Park → Fukuoka Tower → Fukuoka City Museum · 🚇Transportation Take the subway Kūkō Line to Muromi Station, then walk 20 minutes to Washio Atago Shrine. · 📸Highlights ✅Washio Atago Shrine: One of the oldest shrines in Fukuoka and one of Japan's three major Atago Shrines. After exiting the subway station, you need to walk up the road to the mountain. The mountain is not very high, but there is a slightly steep section. Along the way, there are charming houses and hydrangeas. The shrine itself is not very remarkable, but its location serves as an observation deck where you can overlook the entire city of Fukuoka, especially the coastal scenery along Fukuoka Tower. After visiting, you can descend from the other side and continue walking towards Fukuoka Tower. The streets along the way are quiet, and with the blue sky like in a manga, it's very picturesque. ✅Atago Bridge: Not really a tourist spot, but it's the estuary of the Muromi River with a wide view. Some people fish under the bridge. After crossing Atago Bridge, there's a coastal walking path where many locals jog. ✅Momochi Seaside Park: A section of artificial beach along the coast, the best angle to photograph Fukuoka Tower. Many young people gather and play beach volleyball here, and there are carp streamers fluttering in the wind. It's a very relaxing place, and the pier extending from the beach gives off a dazzling European vibe. ✅Fukuoka Tower: One of Fukuoka City's iconic buildings, built with 8,000 single-sided mirrors and a unique equilateral triangular shape, hence also known as the "Mirror Sail." However, from an intuitive perspective, I think it looks more like a skyscraper than a tower. Fukuoka Tower was built in 1989 to commemorate the "Asia-Pacific Expo" held that year. It stands 234 meters tall, making it the tallest seaside tower in Japan. From the 123-meter-high observation room, you can get a panoramic view of Fukuoka City and Hakata Bay. ✅Fukuoka City Museum: The main exhibition halls are on the second floor, including the Permanent Exhibition Room, Planning Exhibition Room, and Special Exhibition Room. The museum's treasure is the "Gold Seal of the King of Na of the Han Dynasty," a representative of early Sino-Japanese exchanges. What impressed me more was the huge float of the Hakata Gion Yamakasa in the hall.
