Sawara is a vast ward extending south from Momochi Seafront Park, a popular man-made beach. Nearby, Fukuoka Tower has an observation deck with views over the bay. Exhibits at Fukuoka City Museum include the 2,000-year-old gold seal of the King of Na. Inland, there are mountain trails for hiking and biking, plus quiet Zen temples like Kozenji, set against a backdrop of rice fields and bamboo forests.
