Momochi Seaside Park is a one-kilometer artificial beach at the foot of Fukuoka Tower, developed for the 1989 Asia Pacific Expo. At the center of the beach sits Marizon, an artificial island featuring restaurants, shops, a wedding hall, and a ferry port with connections to Uminonakamichi Seaside Park across Hakata Bay. The beach is popular for swimming and beach sports like volleyball and soccer. The surrounding area features wide, tree-lined streets with futuristic buildings and no above-ground utility lines - a planned modern waterfront district.
