    Moji (via Shimonoseki)

    Alan_H, Apr 2026
    Our ship docked in “Moji” except it didn’t - it docked in Shimonoseki. Thankfully Crystal laid on a free transfer to Karato fish market (about 15 mins). From here it was a 5 min stroll to the Kanmon ferry. Take cash as the ticket vending machines don’t take card - ferry runs every 20 mins and takes just 5 mins to Moji (or Mojiko - Moji Port). We visited retro sites and hopped on a commuter train to Kokora. Great day - thank you Show!

    Good visit in Kitakyushu.

    Chiharu brought me to very interesting locations and did her best to educate me about them. The highlight was the Tea Ceremony at Kokura Castle. Between her accent and my poor hearing, I often needed clarification, which she was happy to do.

    I had a great time! My guide Peko did an amazing job talking about the history and significance of the area. It’s like time traveling to when Japan was just becoming industrialized. You can tell as soon as you step into the train station nearby. If you go on a holiday, make sure to get your fill of blowfish sushi in the fish market.

    Response from Host, Mar 2025

    Thank you for your heartwarming comment, which is an encouragement to me. At fish market, you said, "If I put soy sauce on the fish, I won't be able to taste the real taste of the fish," and then you ate the sushi one after another without any soy sauce, I was very impressed that you are a super fish lover who really understands the taste and freshness of fish. I'm looking forward to seeing your happy face with sushi again. Specialized Shushi tour is waiting for you! Peko

    Beautiful city

    Tour of Mojiko, Kokura castle, Tanga market and Uomachi street

    We had a superb visit of KITAKYUSHU. We were on Azamara Journey and Erica met us at the terminal and took us on a thorough visit of the area by foot and train. What an amazing lady, great knowledge of the area(she is a local) and excellent English (studied in Michigan for a few years). We visited Koruka castle walked Katsuyama park. Got a good idea and feel of Koruka city. Then came back and visited the port of Moji. We were very pleased with our tour! Thanks Erika!

    Response from Host, Apr 2024

    Thanks so much for your comments and I am very grateful to be able to show you around Moji Port and Kokura in such a lovely day. I had a great time talking to you and Chris. I hope you enjoy the rest of your journey and have a safe trip back home. Take care and thanks again for your time (and strawberries). Erica
