Street scenes and night lights are impressive. But not that many tall skyscrapers.

ok skyline for a city I've never heard of.

6.5/10

Ditto 6.5/10

One of my favorite cities in Japan. Too bad the skyline isn't that remarkable though... 6.5/10 for the skyline.

7/10 - for the building with the tall spire

how tall is the tallest building there?
i think for its size, its quiet good, 8

how tall is the tallest building there?

The Fukouka Tower is 234.0 m to the top of the antenna, 134.0 m to the top floor.

nice city. 7.5/10

Not many scrapers but wow, what a variety! That one building is spectacular, and the riverfront pic is amazing. 7/10.

the skyline is quite small, considering it has 1.3M people

small but nice.:)
7/10

Not too impressive... however it looks quite nice and orderly.

I love Fukukoa. Somebody should post some pics of the Canal City development by the Jerde Partnership. Stunning stuff. The skyline's lovely, I think. The Fukukoa Tower serves as a perfect focal point and landmark. As far as Japanese cities go, I think this is one of the best.

if i remember it right, this city was voted by the then asiaweek as the BEST CITY IN ASIA (tied with TOKYO).

i love fukuoka but the skyline isn't all that impressive.

7/10

beautiful city but it looks too common. i mean, it may look like any other city. maybe some other pics can show more of fukuoka's "exceptional". 8.0

i like the fukuoka tower

7/10


I like it, but it's not really dense/tall.

6.5

Nice, dense and orderly. Lacks height though except for those buildings next to the water, and yes that's a beautiful building with the spire....

I like that tallest building .. the skyline looks quite nice

8/10

7/10

7/10 just another Japan city to me
was there few months ago

hm, not bad, i've seen very few images from Fukuoka, and now i see the skyline is quite impressive, would become very nice with some more buildings, but the skyline is now 7.5/10. :)

7/10

Fukuoka is one of my most favorite Japanese cities, but because it looks like another Japanese city I have to give it an 8.0.

I'd say around 7.5... It clearly looks like any other Japanese city, but looking closer at the street level, you seen an immense, uncrowded, clean walkable city unlike other Japanese cities such as Tokyo and Osaka.

I like it, but it's not really dense/tall.

Umm... it's dense but not tall.

it's about time to show some more pics of this nice city...

(streetscene in Fukuoka)

.

Not much of a skyline, but there is some pretty good density and architecture. It looks like a charming city.

Neat. 8/10. :banana:

5.5 not so much skyline.

Looks like a big, busy city, but the skyline is not great for a population of 1.3million. However I like the tall building with the spire.
7/10

Very Unique and I like!!! 8.5/10

the tower looks real nice

7.5/10

Nice city but skyline isn't that great. 7/10 - because of Fukuoka Tower.

Very nice and unique. I give it a 7/10.

7.5/10

Looks pretty good. 7.5/10

A few pretty tall skyscrapers, not to shabby. 6.

9/10. Fukuoka´s skyline has more quality than quantity. The Fukuoka Tower and the Sea Hawk are really nice buldings!

I think i should gve more creadit to this city since it one of the finest city to live and has a great skyline too..

This is where Ayumi Hamasaki came from so that bumps it up a notch so... 8/10

nice. 8/10

7/10.very tipycal japanese citiy scape..thought,i pity on fukuoka,bcz there is very very strick height limit more than other cities in japan..esp in down towns area as airport is very near.they got above 100m scrapers at only bay side.and not so tall too.anyway japanese citis were not use to build scrapers when there were boom in construction in japan bcz during those time technology 4 earthquake proof scraper were not so ready..so i consider this as japanese citys charm.like tokyo,they got this kind of 10floor like buildings all over tokyo even seems endless.but it kills a view..but anyway i like that kind of tokyo like chaos so i change my mind,i will give 8 for this!

Fukuoka gets an 8.5 from me. Its one of my favorite Japanese cities. The skyline may not be that tall but it is dense, and the atmosphere of the city when youre there is really nice. Its a big city but it doesn't drown you (like the feeling I get when Im in Osaka). And the food is a bonus (but that doesnt earn points for skyline does it? hehe). Very liveable place.
