the ancient building is historically iconic in the city , the flowers are starting to blossom so the photos look really nice
I wasn’t very familiar with the route during the self-driving trip, so the trip was delayed and I arrived at Kokura Castle in the evening. Fortunately, I persisted, otherwise I would have missed such a beautiful and moving Kokura Castle. Kokura Castle with cherry blossoms in the evening is so romantic! ! 💞Highly recommended

Reasons why we recommend it:
It's so fun
I was able to learn more about the history of the Kanmon Straits. It was a good opportunity to learn a lot about the Genpei War and the ships that pass through here. I recommend stopping by when you visit Moji Port or the Railway Museum.

The highest point in Mojiko, behind the post office building
At the time, the entrance fee was 300 yen
You can see Shimonoseki across the sea at a glance
Moji Port, the northernmost port in Kyushu
There are many nostalgic buildings that you can take special photos of 😉
You can see the entire Moji Port from the observation deck
Tickets are very cheap. If you have time, you can go up and have a look.
