[Fukuoka Tourism]

A must-see for sightseeing in Kitakyushu! The symbol of Kokura ✨Kokura Castle✨ Lots of great events! It's lit up at night✨ You can even go inside Kokura Castle♪ Just walking around Kokura Castle is fun, but the castle grounds are full of interesting spots, including a garden, Matsumoto Seicho Memorial Museum, Central Library, and Literature Museum✨ And next door is a shopping mall called Riverwalk Kitakyushu✨ And nearby is a mysterious object affectionately known as the "Macaroni Alien." This is actually a work by graphic designer Shigeo Fukuda, and its official name is ✨Spirit of the Seven Stars of the Universe✨ It's a trick art piece designed so that the shadow of his head reflected on the sidewalk around the spring and autumn equinoxes will take the shape of the city's flower, a 🌻sunflower🌻! ! If you can see sunflowers, you're really lucky✨ When you're strolling around Kokura Castle, be sure to stop by♪ ✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼ Kokura Castle 📍2-1 Jonai, Kokurakita-ku, Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Opening hours April-October 9:00-20:00 November-March 9:00-19:00 Closed days Open all year round Admission fee General: 350 yen Junior high school students: 200 yen Elementary school students: 100 yen ✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼ #Fukuoka sightseeing #Fukuoka trip #Kokura #Kokura sightseeing #Kokura Castle #Travel with me
