This nicely restored castle has a good mix of history and fun. Walkable from the Kokura train station. Kids, including those 65+ will enjoy riding the palanquin and sitting in on a samurai war council. The views are great from the top floor too. A lift is available for the mobility impaired or travel-weary.

the train station was rebuilt in a renaissance style building. It looks nice. starbucks and a nice restaurant with local dishes upstairs Ricksaw rides (4000 yen for 2 for 15 min around town. train museum and other historical places. nice view of the kamon canal where large ships pass by. 5 min ferry across the canal to Karato (fish marhet) on Shimonoseki side at 400 yen per adult. Train takes 15 min, so ferry is a better deal if staying near Karato or trying to visit it. In Mojiko the famous dish is the baked curry. Many variations on that. I like the restaurant near the ferry with rear view windows facing the water. You can see it if looking from the ferry landing port..

Ever since visiting Mojiko in April 2018 and seeing the Station building shrouded in scaffolding, undergoing restoration, I expressed a desire to return one day when the work was completed. 18-months on, I got the opportunity whilst staying in Kokura to make a fleeting visit to Mojiko to view the result of the lengthy Restoration Project. The facade of the Neo-Rennaissance building (built 1914) has been restored to its' former glory and brought bang-up to the 21st Century with the inclusion of modern ticketing facilities and a Starbuck's to boot. With the dimly lit period wooden canopies over the Station Platforms, all that's missing from this iconic scene is an original locomotive idly discharging clouds of steam!
