2025 Kitakyushu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

During my trip to Kitakyushu, I found a bustling restaurant about a 5-minute walk from Kokura Station that caught my attention, so I decided to check it out☺️ This is a specialty restaurant offering a new style of meat dish called "Takimiku" 🐮 Originating from Kagoshima, "Takimiku" involves simmering meat and vegetables in a special sauce, making it both healthy and high in protein❣️ What’s more, this restaurant uses "Kamui Beef," which is delivered directly from the supplier and is incredibly fresh 🥹✨ It’s guaranteed to be delicious❣️ ────────────────── ▶︎ 90-minute all-you-can-drink course…6,000 yen ・Takimiku (Kamui Beef Short Ribs / Offal / Chami Pork / Squid / Shrimp) ・Kamui Beef Roast Beef ・Yorozu Stew ・Unzen Ham ・Kimchi ・Special Dipping Sauce ・Udon ・Rice Porridge with Curry Powder and Cheese ▶︎ Kamui Beef Roast Beef Salad…1,600 yen ▶︎ Premium A5 Kagoshima Black Beef Clod Steak…2,890 yen ▶︎ Premium A5 Kagoshima Black Beef Sirloin Steak…3,388 yen ────────────────── First of all, the quality of the appetizer was so high that I was amazed 🥹✨ The "Takimiku" is packed with Kamui Beef, vegetables, and seafood♡ The flavors of the ingredients seep into the soup, and the taste deepens as you continue eating 🤤 In addition to the special sauce, there’s also ponzu, which is refreshing and pairs perfectly❣️ For the finishing touch, you can enjoy both udon and rice porridge. Adding curry powder and cheese transforms it into a baked curry-style dish 🍛💕 This curry porridge was absolutely delicious♡ As for the steak, it’s made with premium Kagoshima Black Beef, offering a quality comparable to that of a specialty steakhouse 🥩 While the sirloin is a safe choice, personally, I loved the clod steak for its perfect balance of lean meat and marbling 🐮💕 It was so tender and irresistible 🤤🤤🤤 The portions are generous, leaving you completely satisfied, but since it’s healthy, there’s no guilt 🙆♀️ It was absolutely amazing 🥹✨ —————［Restaurant Information］————— Takimiku Ushichan Kokura Branch 📍 3-12-14 Kyomachi, Kokurakita-ku, Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture 🚃 5-minute walk from JR Kokura Station 🈺 18:00–22:00 Closed: Irregular holidays 🅿️ No parking available

Located in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture, Hotel Livemax Kokura Ekimae is just a 1-minute walk from JR Kokura Station, making it an ideal base for both sightseeing and business trips. I stayed here for one night as I planned to visit Mojiko and Shimonoseki the next day. Check-in and check-out were handled entirely through an automated payment machine. The staff kindly explained the process, making it very easy to understand. I booked a non-smoking single room for ¥5,180 per night, with an additional accommodation tax of ¥200 paid on-site. The room was very clean and equipped with free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a TV, a refrigerator, and an electric kettle. The hotel also offers amenities like coin-operated laundry machines and vending machines, ensuring a comfortable stay. The location is extremely convenient, being right next to JR Kokura Station, which is perfect for traveling via Shinkansen or local trains. The area around the station is bustling with commercial facilities and restaurants, adding to the convenience.

I've always traveled abroad by plane, but I wanted to make some special memories and experiences, so I went from Seoul > Busan > Shimonoseki! I was so envious of people living in Busan, Seoul Personson.. Itsumi,, Since the boat departs at night, I recommend a trip to Shimonoseki, a small Japanese city that even office workers can visit on the weekend without annual leave. I thought it would be too much to do a day trip, so I went for 3 nights and 4 days, staying 2 nights on board and 1 night locally! <3 nights 4 days travel course> Day 1 Seoul > Busan Station > 17:00 Busan Port Terminal staff meeting > 18:30 boarding > 21:00 departure ~ Day 2 8:00 Arrive at Shimonoseki > Karato Market > Move to Mojiko > Mojiko Retro Tour > Giff Cafe (lunch) > Kokura Station > Riverwalk Kitakyushu > Shopping (Don Quixote) > Move to Kurosaki Station > Toyo Sushi (dinner) > Return to Mojiko > Hotel check-in > Sleep Day 3 Hotel check-out > Kokura Station > Saint City > Shopping (Daiso, Seriya, Lopia, Don Quixote) > Kokura Castle > Shimonoseki Station > Yume Mart, Sea Mall > 18:00 Shimonoseki Port ferry ticket issuance > 18:20 boarding > 20:00 departure ~ Day 4 8:00 Arrive at Busan Port Terminal > Busan Station > Seoul #Overseas Travel

Kawachi Wisteria Garden, located in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, has been selected by CNN as one of "Japan's 31 Most Beautiful Places" for its stunning wisteria! Although access from the Shinkansen via Kokura Station can be a bit challenging, the breathtaking view is absolutely worth the effort 🥹. Since the wisteria season coincides with Golden Week, you might expect crowds, but thanks to the requirement of purchasing advance tickets for specific dates and times, it doesn't get overly crowded ✨. The garden is situated along a mountain slope, so wearing sturdy footwear like sneakers or boots is highly recommended 👟. However, there are plenty of benches scattered throughout the garden, allowing you to take breaks and enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace, so no need to worry 😮💨. This incredibly beautiful and globally admired spectacle is a must-see!

When traveling to Fukuoka, Mojiko Retro is a must-visit place. This port town, full of retro atmosphere, seems to freeze time in the early 20th century, attracting visitors with its strong nostalgic vibe as soon as they set foot on this land. Mojiko is most famous for its unique Mojiko Retro District, where many well-preserved European-style buildings are gathered. In Mojiko, you can take the Kanmon Strait ferry to Shimonoseki City in Yamaguchi Prefecture on the opposite shore. The ferry ride takes only 5 minutes, but the feeling of the sea breeze and the beautiful strait scenery is refreshing.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Visit Kyushu's external gateway "#Moji Port", which has a strategic position equivalent to Keelung Port. It has been opened for 120 years since the early Meiji period. In the Taisho era, it was called "Japan's Three Major Ports" together with Kobe and Yokohama. Mojiko is a very exotic place, and you can easily arrange a half-day tour, starting from the JR station and visiting several attractions around the port: #Kitakyushu City Former Moji Customs Built in 1912, it is a building left over from the prosperous period of trade and economy at that time.

It was built to commemorate the 15th anniversary of Dalian becoming a sister city. The museum is free to visit. The first floor is a library and a nostalgic cafe, and the second floor is the Mojikan Art and Crafts Research Institute. #BlueWingBridge Japan's only movable suspension bridge for pedestrians is about 108 meters long. The bridge deck can be opened and closed to allow ships to pass. It opens and closes six times a day with background music, and the scenery on the bridge is beautiful. Legend has it that after the suspension bridge is closed, couples who cross the river for the first time will get married, so it is regarded as a paradise for lovers. #Kitakyushu City Old Osaka Merchant Ship It was once the office building of Osaka Merchant Marine. The exterior of the building is decorated with red bricks and white lines, and the hexagonal dome presents an elegant Renaissance style.

The first floor is a restaurant, and the public area is free to visit. The second floor requires a fee of ¥150, and exhibits historical materials related to Einstein's stay.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 It seems like every big city in Japan has a railway museum? Kyushu is no exception. In Kitakyushu, near Mojiko Port, there is the Kyushu Railway Memorial Museum. With cheap tickets (¥300), a variety of trains, and rideable trains, it is definitely a must-see attraction for railway fans and family travelers. The Kyushu Railway Memorial Museum is roughly divided into four major areas: the main building, the vehicle exhibition hall, the mini railway park and the locomotive display area. There is a Meiji-era train on display in the main building, which is quite retro and nostalgic; there is also an 811 series cab in the exhibition area, which can simulate the operation of a train; there are also models of the Kyushu Railway Panorama, permanent exhibitions, special exhibitions, and more. The vehicle showroom is the most exciting area. In the train showroom, which simulates a train platform, there are 9 different types of trains that have been operated in Kyushu, ranging from antique steam trains, modern electric trains, sleeper trains, electric express trains, etc. It is really a great place to take pictures! #KyushuTourism #Kitakyushu #Mojiko #Kyushu Railway Memorial Hall

Mojiko is located at the northernmost point of Kyushu, Japan. It is small and very quiet. There are many old buildings by the harbor, and the most eye-catching is the cartoon banana man sculpture. Walking along the coastline is definitely a place to daze and think about philosophy. The third picture is a 1:1 replica of the "East Qing Railway Steamship Office" (built in 1902) in Dalian, built to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the friendship between Dalian and Mojiko. It is now the Dalian Art Exhibition Hall. 👍Most recommended: Banana milkshake JPY 600 🗓Itinerary: Half a day to 1 day

🚩The Historical Beauty of Moji Port Station As the gateway to Kyushu, Moji Port Station tells the story of time with its elegant, vintage architecture. Built in 1914, this wooden station is one of the few remaining examples of the 'Taisho Romantic' style in Japan and has been designated as an important cultural property. After meticulous restoration in recent years, the station has regained its century-old splendor, with its green roof and ivory walls complementing each other like a painting. Stepping inside, the vintage waiting benches and wooden decor evoke a strong sense of nostalgia, as if stepping back in time. 📍Interactive Fun at the Railway Museum Not far from the station is the Kyushu Railway Museum, a must-visit for train and history enthusiasts. The museum showcases several classic trains, including steam locomotives from the Meiji era and blue express trains from the Showa era, offering a glimpse into the development of Japan's railways. The museum features various interactive experiences, such as driving simulators that let you feel the joy of operating a train, and miniature railway models that faithfully recreate Kyushu's landscapes and rail networks. Both adults and children can find endless fun here. If time permits, join a guided tour to hear more railway stories. 👍Don't Miss the Baked Curry Moji Port's most famous dish is the aromatic baked curry. This classic dish, which combines Japanese curry with Western-style gratin, is a culinary icon of the port. Many local restaurants offer their own unique versions, from rich cheese-covered to luxurious seafood varieties, all of which are mouthwatering. We recommend visiting the popular restaurant Curry Honpo to try their special baked curry. The rich curry sauce and golden, crispy cheese, paired with soft white rice, will keep you coming back for more. 🎉Scenic and Artistic Harbor Moji Port not only boasts history and cuisine but also charming coastal scenery and an artistic atmosphere. Strolling along the harbor, the colorful brick-paved paths and moored boats create a poetic landscape. The red brick buildings in the port area, such as the former Osaka Shosen and the Maritime Museum, add to the nostalgic vibe. Rent a bicycle and ride along the scenic Kanmon Strait coast to feel the refreshing sea breeze. If time allows, take a boat to the opposite shore of Shimonoseki to witness the beauty of the connection between Kyushu and Honshu. 🔔Conclusion With its rich historical heritage, fun-filled railway museum, and mouthwatering baked curry, Moji Port attracts many travelers. This small town preserves the glory of the past while infusing modern vitality, making it an unmissable stop on a Kyushu trip. Come to Moji Port and enjoy a journey through time! 🟢Travel Tips: Take the JR Kyushu Moji Port Line 🔵Must-Visit Spots: Moji Port Station, Railway Museum, Moji Port 🔴Recommended Hotels: Stay near Kokura Station 🟡Must-Try Foods: Baked Curry, Harbor Cafes 🟠Shopping Guide: Banana Man Souvenirs, Fresh Seafood

European vibe port city with romantic retro style • Mojiko or Mojiko Retro is located in Kitakyushu City. You can go from Fukuoka directly. 🚃 You can take a one-day train trip there and back in the evening. Because this city used to be a port city, when Japan traded internationally, it received Western culture and architecture. The atmosphere here is quite European. And because it is a port city, it is located by the sea, which makes it even more beautiful. The vibe is really good ✨ While walking around, there will be a time when the bridge is open to let ships pass through. This is another place that I really want to recommend for anyone who comes to Fukuoka. The street corner in the first picture is the corner that made us decide to come here. 🤎 P.S. There is actually a fish market here, but we didn't go (what a shame). Try to find more information.

It's no exaggeration to say that I planned my trip to Kitakyushu just to go here. This is a restaurant I definitely wanted to go to. I made a reservation more than half a year ago and made plans for my trip. This is a super popular restaurant in Kitakyushu that has been ranked #1 in the Tabelog Izakaya category and is also one of the top 100 restaurants in Japan. I started by eating sashimi, which was very fresh, thick, and filling, and I was surprised at how delicious it was from the start. The salad was topped with a fluffy, runny egg, and was as filling as an omelette. It was difficult to eat with chopsticks. It was so heavy that I couldn't even lift it🤣 The chawanmushi was also hot, creamy, and the best♡ And the onigiri🍙 They were big, the saltiness was perfect, and even when I was full I could eat two😋 I also tried a lot of other things, but everything was delicious🥰🥰🥰 They served it quickly, and the prices were reasonable🙆♀️ And the chef's personality was great🥹✨ If you go, you'll understand why it's so hard to make a reservation❣️ —————[Store Information]————— Uotora 📍 1-2-5 Kumade, Yahata Nishi-ku, Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture 🚃 8 minutes walk from JR Kurosaki Station 🈺 ①18:00-20:30 / ②20:30-22:30 Closed: Sundays, national holidays, 1st and 3rd Mondays 🅿️ None #FukuokaTrip #KitakyushuTrip #KitakyushuTourism #FukuokaGourmet #0YenTripNovember

💫 Mojiko, a European-style seaside port city. The evening atmosphere is a very romantic time. Another place to visit in Fukuoka Prefecture, Kitakyushu City, that I would like to recommend is a city that is different from other cities in Japan. Both architecture and buildings are a mix of Western styles, giving a European vibe. It is said that in the past, Mojiko was the name of a prosperous port that used to do international trade. Therefore, it received culture from the West along with trade at that time. You can travel as a one-day trip from Fukuoka city, taking about 1 hour. Fern traveled by car as usual. As for traveling by JR Kagoshima Line, you can get off at Mojiko. If you have a plan to visit Fukuoka, save Mojiko in your plan. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. ___________________________ #Mojiko #MojikoRetro #Fukuoka #Fukuoka #TravelJapan2024 #TravelJapan2025 #TravelJapanByYourself #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck
