Trip Moments Recommendations
💫 MOJIKO . FUKUOKA, a seaside port city with a European feel.
💫 Mojiko, a European-style seaside port city. The evening atmosphere is a very romantic time.
Another place to visit in Fukuoka Prefecture, Kitakyushu City, that I would like to recommend is a city that is different from other cities in Japan. Both architecture and buildings are a mix of Western styles, giving a European vibe. It is said that in the past, Mojiko was the name of a prosperous port that used to do international trade. Therefore, it received culture from the West along with trade at that time.
You can travel as a one-day trip from Fukuoka city, taking about 1 hour. Fern traveled by car as usual. As for traveling by JR Kagoshima Line, you can get off at Mojiko.
If you have a plan to visit Fukuoka, save Mojiko in your plan. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

🌸Mojiko, a classic port town in Kitakyushu
#sakura2024
🏠We had the opportunity to visit Mojiko, a port city by the sea. The houses are built in a retro style, influenced by Western architecture from the previous era during the period of prosperity and the transition to modernity. Most of the houses are in brown or brick red tones, making the pictures look very beautiful when we take pictures.
🚆You can take the train from Hakata station to Mojiko station. If you have a JR pass, you can use it.

MOJIKO STATION
How to get there - How to get there via Kokura Station, take the train for 3 stops and you will arrive at Mojiko Station. Very convenient, 220 yen / trip
Tourist attractions - I recommend the fish market, but you have to take a ferry from Mojiko Station for about 5 minutes to get to the fish market. Next to it is the Aquarium, 2400 yen / person. It is a large aquarium with a variety of animals to see. There will be dolphin shows every round. You can check the round at the entrance.
Restaurant and food - If you want sushi or fresh food, you have to go to the fish market. But there are also general foods around the train station. You can walk around the city and find restaurants to eat around. There are many restaurants to choose from.

Mojiko a place full of historical
When you visit Mojiko, there are many different ways to experience. Some goes for the fresh seafood especially the puffer fish at Karato. But You can choose to explore the historic western building (shown in the picture). Every building has the story to tell and they are well maintained and you will be “rewarded “ on the important history background of the building. #mojiko
