[2025 Kitakyushu Attraction] Travel Guide for Kanmon Strait Museum (Updated Jul)

#Travel plan This trip to Japan is a 3-night, 4-day trip to Fukuoka. We will stay in Fukuoka on the 1st day, Kumamoto on the 2nd day, and Oita on the 3rd day. The 4th day will be a return trip via Kitakyushu, and we will use the 3-day North Kyushu Rail Pass. I have booked afternoon tea 4 times in Fukuoka and 1 time in Kumamoto. I also booked a visit to the miniature exhibition in Kitakyushu. If there is a direct flight or charter flight from Korea to Kobe Airport during the Osaka Expo this year, it will be easy to get there. I will have cleared all 47 prefectures in 2023 and 63 Reserve Meguri in 2024, so Starbucks is no longer reflected in the schedule, and I plan to visit impromptu when I need to recharge or finish my schedule early. I have a plan to visit around 10 manhole cards. I have a daytime drink with my friends from Kumamoto whom I met last August. My goal is to get to my Oita accommodation alive and safely. I was supposed to take the evening flight on the first day and return on the morning flight on the fourth day, but I paid the difference of 100,000 won and changed it to the afternoon flight that departs 4 hours later on the fourth day. Since there were more flights that weren't available at the time of booking, I decided to accept the price. Still, the ticket that I booked for 130,000 won at a special price ended up costing 230,000 won, so I'm not too worried. I hope it doesn't rain since the hotel is a 15-minute walk from each station in Hakata/Kumamoto/Oita for 3 days. I'll have a good trip. Thank you. #JapanTravel #KyushuTravel #KyushuTravel #NorthKyushuTravel #Fukuoka #Kitakyushu

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip The Kanmon Strait Museum in Moji Ward, Kitakyushu City, is an experiential museum where you can enjoy the history, culture, and ocean charm of the Kanmon Strait with all five senses. Inside the museum, there are plenty of attractions, including the Strait Atrium, which recreates the stories of patriots from the end of the Edo period, a simulator where you can experience sailing a ship, and an observation deck. 🚢✨ When you actually visit, the exhibits, which make full use of video and audio, are so realistic that you feel as if you've stepped into history. It was a place where both children and adults could enjoy themselves, and where you could get excited while learning 📚🎮 🚃 Access ・About a 5-minute walk from JR Mojiko Station ・Located in the center of the Mojiko Retro District, it is an easy place to stop by between sightseeing 🚶♀️ 🎯 Tips ・The museum is large, so it is recommended to visit with plenty of time ⌛ ・From the observation deck, you can see the Kanmon Bridge and the ships passing by, and the evening scenery is also spectacular 🌇 ・If you have children, the boat steering experience corner is a must-see!

At 7:31 AM, I board the limited express train Nichirin Seagaia. Each person sits in a seat designed for four, resembling the companion seats on the KTX. The train is old, but the interior facilities are quite luxurious, even featuring lamps. I transfer at Kokura Station to head to Mojiko Station. At 9 AM, I visit the miniature exhibition. For about 45 minutes, two of us enjoy the exhibition individually without interfering with each other, following the A/B course intuitively without speaking. The exhibition runs until January 13th, and since it’s a weekday morning, the venue is almost empty, making for a pleasant viewing experience. I purchase a limited-edition miniature model exclusive to the exhibition and receive an original poster. From Mojiko, I greet Shimonoseki across the sea. The Kanmon Strait, where Kyushu meets Honshu and Fukuoka Prefecture meets Yamaguchi Prefecture, is truly beautiful. Thank you.

Kitakyushu is a city near Fukuoka that may seem boring, but if you move a little bit, you can see a beautiful ocean view:) Shimonoseki has a port and a beautiful ocean, and it's a place that opens your heart!! #oceantrip #kitakyushu #shimonoseki

#Fukuoka Attractions 🕰️Opening Hours: 9am to 5pm 📍Address: 10 minutes walk from Kyushu JR Mojiko Station 💰Average consumption per person: 500 yen per person 💞Reason for recommendation: A very worth visiting museum, the museum reproduces the history of Mensi Port more than a hundred years ago, both the architecture and characters are done quite exquisitely, simply in the streets of that time💕 From the museum upstairs you can also see the beautiful view of Moji Harbor, the blue water, and the characteristic sailboat, very attractive 😍👍
