Kitakyushu Things to Do: 44 reviews and 95 photos

Mojiko Port Retro District, with its distinctive old-time feeling, open before you.

In the early 20th Century, international trade brought to the district a high level of culture and a feeling of modernity.

Many buildings from the era have preserved their appearance, including the wooden Mojiko Station building that was the first railway station in Japan to be officially designated as a cultural heritage site.

The area abounds with places to visit, including the Kyusyu Railway History Museum, which allows visitors to experience the history and magic of Japan's railroad, and the Kaikyo Drama ship, where guests can learn about history, culture and science of Moji Strait.

Mojiko offers its visitors a great opportunity to relax by enjoying the sights and sounds of a waterfront town.
