I really lucked out by getting placed in Nishijin. Not only is it on the subway line, but it also houses a Fukuoka landmark, the Fukuoka Tower. The tower is located a fifteen minute bike ride away from my apartment, right next to Momochi Beach. It's also right next to a famous soft-cream/crepe shop. At the top of tower, you can get a 360 degree panoramic view of the city. The tower itself is pretty old and doesn't have much inside but if you're in the area, it's definitely a stop to make. The views will make up for it's lack of interesting details inside. From the top, you get a great view of Hakata Bay, all the way out to Uminonakamichi, and you can also spot the Ferris Wheel at the Evergreen Marinoa (Kyushu's largest outlet mall). Plus it only costs a mere ￥800 yen to go to the top!
