Beppu Tower, beloved as a symbol of the hot spring town Beppu. Its beautiful form, a weaving of a retro appearance and the latest LED lighting, fascinates those who visit. This time, we will introduce the charm of Beppu Tower and the superb view that can only be seen there.
Fusion of History and Modern
Beppu Tower, completed in 1957, is the third oldest tourist tower in Japan. The beautiful radio tower, designed by Dr. Tachu Naito, who also worked on Tokyo Tower, has watched over the town of Beppu for many years. Due to large-scale renovations in 2023, the observation deck and outer walls were renewed, and the height increased to 100m. Furthermore, with the introduction of the latest LED lighting, the entire tower is now colored with colorful lights.
Highlight: 360-degree Panoramic View
From the observation deck at a height of 55m, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Beppu Bay, Mount Tsurumi, and the Beppu cityscape. In particular, the sight of Beppu Tower lit up, floating in the night sky, is overwhelming. The colorful lights, which change according to the season and events, show a different expression each time you visit.
Lighting Up: Producing a Special Night
Beppu Tower’s lighting can also be reserved for one group per day. It is gaining popularity as a surprise production to color special days such as birthdays and anniversaries. Also, its use in PR events by companies and organizations is increasing, further enlivening Beppu’s nighttime sightseeing.
