besides the famous sea market in Tokyo this seems to be the next as popular sea food market in Japan . Fresh fish raw or cooked in preparred obentos are sold at the market and the sushi restaurants on the second floor. Some places take only cash (no card) . So ask first how you can pay. Take the ferry nearby to Moji-ko (5 min canal crossing) and eat their baked curry . It is a great sightseeing tool to a classical japanese city in Kita-kyushu

I just heard about this Tunnel a few days ago. I had an extra day to kill, so I decided to see it. From Kokura Station, I took the JR Kagoshima Line to the Mojiko Station Terminal. From there it was about 2 Kms on foot to the Tunnel entrance. An elevator brings you down and you can start walking to the Honshu side. I made 2 roundtrips.! At the midway point is the spot where You can literally put one foot on Kyushu and the other on Honshu! There are papers to be stamped at each end of the tunnel which you can present to the Tourist Info center at Mojiko Station to get your official crossing certificate. Nice!

Reviewed By tadJapan - Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan
The Treaty of Shimonoseki after Japan-China War (or Japan-Qing War) was concluded here in 1895. The building itself is a reconstucted one, but you can see some original documents and the original chairs used for the meetings. Next to the museum, there are the statues of the Japan's first Prime Minister, Hirobumi Ito, and the Foreign Minister, Munemitsu Mutsu. 日本語をつけないと受理されない方式になり困っています。海外の人にも読んでもらうために英語だけでは投稿できないのは納得できません。

I almost got a taxi to get to my hotel before I went here. So glad I didn't get a cab, our hotel was very close. The person with a great friendly attitude informed me everything I needed to know. I spoke with him in Japanese, so I cannot attest his English ability, but his customer service was just excellent. He gave me a map with an articulate instruction as to how to get to my hotel. I could tell he had a true passion to help tourists and he was proud to serve his city. Great job!
