The land of Tatakiuri birthplace of the banana

Even now, it's not a pinch even if it's called "banana beating".

It was a place immediately after leaving Mojiko Station. Even though I visited many times, I passed by without noticing it, but I was able to confirm the explanation board of Japanese heritage for the first time 々. I wasn't particularly surprised because there was a birthplace in Japan, but I never saw bananas batting itself, so I didn't get a pin even if it was said to be the birthplace.

From Shimonoseki, take a ferry to the Kanmon Strait to Moji. On the wall on the left side of the fountain in the square in front of JR Moji Station, there is the "Birthplace of Banana Tatami Sales", which became a Japanese heritage in ４ year.

It is no wonder that this Moji station, which is the gateway to Kyushu from the Taisho Period to the early Showa period, originated. If you have time, I would like you to visit not only the exterior of Moji Station, but also the ticket gates and toilets inside ...
