Mojiko Retro is a district located in Moji Ward, Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, that still retains the strong traces of the time when it flourished as an international trading port from the Meiji to Taisho eras. Facing the Kanmon Straits, it is lined with retro brick Western-style buildings and public buildings, and has a unique atmosphere full of exotic charm. You can feel the history and culture of this once prosperous port town as you stroll through the streets. The ships moored in the port, the people passing by, and the sea breeze will further enhance your nostalgic mood.

The greatest attraction of this area is its beautiful scenery and the nighttime illumination. In particular, when the sun goes down and the street lights and buildings start to light up, a fantastic night view completely different from the daytime spreads out. The sight of the Blue Wing Moji drawbridge rising and the retro buildings reflected on the water surface creates a romantic atmosphere that attracts many people. In addition, inside the retro buildings, there are restaurants, cafes, souvenir shops, etc., so you can enjoy dining and shopping, making it an ideal date spot for couples.

Mojiko Retro offers a variety of ways to enjoy not only strolling through the historic streets, but also sightseeing in a rickshaw or taking in the scenery from the sea on a Kanmon Strait cruise. There are also many facilities in the surrounding area, such as the Kyushu Railway Memorial Museum and the Mojiko Retro Observatory, making it a tourist spot that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike.
