Kanmon District Tour Course Model Course

From this station, a sightseeing trolley car runs Japan's shortest railway section of 2.1 km in the Mojiko district, a town on the Strait at a speed of 15 km/h, the slowest in Japan.

This is a 780-meter-long undersea tunnel for pedestrians. The  undersea tunnel has two stories, the upper of which is a road for automobiles, and the lower for pedestrians. An elevator is installed at the entrance of the tunnel, so pedestrians go about 60 meters underground on the Moji-ku side or about 55 meters underground on the Shimonoseki City side before walking through the tunnel. At the middle of the tunnel is the sign of the prefectural border between Fukuoka and Yamaguchi Prefectures, famous as a rare example of an undersea prefectural border. If you affix commemorative stamps available in the elevator halls on both sides of the pedestrial tunnel, show these stamps at a tourist information center or other place, and answer a questionnaire, you can get a certificate of your surmounting “Kanmon” (also meaning “a hurdle”).

This is a popular sightseeing spot lined with souvenir shops and local delicacies from Shimonoseki such as fuku (blowfish). Nearby is Karato Market, a kitchen of Shimonoseki City as well as Shimonoseki Aquarium Kaikyokan, which is popular for its exhibition of penguins and more than 100 species of blowfish from all over the world. Time to stay: around two hours

The Kanmon Ferry operates between Mojiko and Shimonoseki.
The time required is 5 min. Taking the ferry is easy, and visitors can enjoy sightseeing spots in both Kyushu and Honshu.
Upon arriving at Shimonoseki, passengers will immediately encounter Kamon Wharf, which has souvenirs and restaurants. Visitors can walk around and take advantage of the popular Karato Market, an aquarium, and amusement grounds.

Enjoy a nostalgic feeling of Japan's Meiji and early Showa eras from the iconic Mojiko Station, Former Moji Mitsui Club, a guest house where Dr. Einstein stayed, and Mojiko Retro Observation Room overlooking the panorama of the Kanmon Strait. Why don't you relax and walk around the district while eating baked curry and sweets and shopping for fashionable goods.
Time to stay: around three hours
