Beppu Tower

The 90-meter-tall Beppu Tower stands with 17 floors, offering expansive views of the city and its thermal areas from multiple observation points.

Architect Tachū Naitō implemented earthquake-resistant design principles when constructing this tower, which opened to the public on May 10, 1957.

The structure holds official recognition as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan, representing mid-twentieth century architectural innovations.

The tower remains operational throughout the year, though visitors should note the structure does not provide wheelchair access to its observation levels.

This tower belongs to a collection known as the Tall Six Brothers, a group of observation structures designed by Tachū Naitō across Japan.
