About This Destination
Major port city known for Kokura Castle, the spectacular night views from Mount Sarakura, and the retro harbor district of Mojiko.
Kitakyushu is Fukuoka Prefecture's second-largest city, formed by merging five cities at Kyushu's northern tip. Kokura has its reconstructed castle and the busy Tanga Market (a covered market with 120+ vendors). Mount Sarakura's night view is ranked among Japan's New Three Great Night Views—cable car and slope car to the summit. Mojiko Retro preserves early 20th-century Western architecture from the port's international trade days. Local food includes Kokura-style yakiudon and sara-udon. The city transformed from one of Japan's most polluted industrial zones to an environmental model city.
