A stark example of Japan's unique post-war modernization, Beppu Tower still stands as the city's prime landmark. This 100 m (330 ft) tall former television transmission tower gives visitors a 360-degree view of the area. Built in 1957 and once a technological marvel, the structure shows how architecture of a country can be modern without being westernized. A curious photo exhibition on the 17th floor documents the tower's history, showing images of many Japanese celebrities who visited in the past.

This tower is junky AF. But I still liked it. As many other people have already noted, cracked and dirty windows are in abundance. I think that makes it fun, though. I came at night so the city lights were fun, but I would have liked to have seen the ocean and landscape. ¥300/adult. Beggars can't be choosers.

An observation tower that requires renovation. Some of the window are cracked. Very little tourists visit here, and the entrance fee is a bit over-priced in compare with the current status of the tower. It's still a good place to kill time, and I just go there to feel the "history" of the tower and Beppu. You may park your car at the large car park at Matogahama Park if you drives (~2min walking distance to Beppu Tower).
