Kawachi Wisteria Garden, located in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, has been selected by CNN as one of "Japan's 31 Most Beautiful Places" for its stunning wisteria! Although access from the Shinkansen via Kokura Station can be a bit challenging, the breathtaking view is absolutely worth the effort 🥹. Since the wisteria season coincides with Golden Week, you might expect crowds, but thanks to the requirement of purchasing advance tickets for specific dates and times, it doesn't get overly crowded ✨. The garden is situated along a mountain slope, so wearing sturdy footwear like sneakers or boots is highly recommended 👟. However, there are plenty of benches scattered throughout the garden, allowing you to take breaks and enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace, so no need to worry 😮💨. This incredibly beautiful and globally admired spectacle is a must-see!

In the Taisho era, it was called "Japan's Three Major Ports" together with Kobe and Yokohama. Mojiko is a very exotic place, and you can easily arrange a half-day tour, starting from the JR station and visiting several attractions around the port: #Kitakyushu City Former Moji Customs Built in 1912, it is a building left over from the prosperous period of trade and economy at that time. It is free to visit.

The first floor is a library and a nostalgic cafe, and the second floor is the Mojikan Art and Crafts Research Institute. #BlueWingBridge Japan's only movable suspension bridge for pedestrians is about 108 meters long. The bridge deck can be opened and closed to allow ships to pass. It opens and closes six times a day with background music, and the scenery on the bridge is beautiful. Legend has it that after the suspension bridge is closed, couples who cross the river for the first time will get married, so it is regarded as a paradise for lovers. #Kitakyushu City Old Osaka Merchant Ship It was once the office building of Osaka Merchant Marine. The exterior of the building is decorated with red bricks and white lines, and the hexagonal dome presents an elegant Renaissance style. On the first floor, there is an art gallery and a cafe by Kitakyushu-born illustrator Masazo Watase, where people can visit and relax. #Former Moji Mitsui Club In the past, this was an inn specially built for Mitsui & Co. to receive guests. It was a European-style building, and even the interior was decorated in gorgeous European style. Einstein once stayed here for a week. The first floor is a restaurant, and the public area is free to visit. The second floor requires a fee of ¥150, and exhibits historical materials related to Einstein's stay.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 It seems like every big city in Japan has a railway museum? Kyushu is no exception. In Kitakyushu, near Mojiko Port, there is the Kyushu Railway Memorial Museum. With cheap tickets (¥300), a variety of trains, and rideable trains, it is definitely a must-see attraction for railway fans and family travelers. The Kyushu Railway Memorial Museum is roughly divided into four major areas: the main building, the vehicle exhibition hall, the mini railway park and the locomotive display area. There is a Meiji-era train on display in the main building, which is quite retro and nostalgic; there is also an 811 series cab in the exhibition area, which can simulate the operation of a train; there are also models of the Kyushu Railway Panorama, permanent exhibitions, special exhibitions, and more. The vehicle showroom is the most exciting area. In the train showroom, which simulates a train platform, there are 9 different types of trains that have been operated in Kyushu, ranging from antique steam trains, modern electric trains, sleeper trains, electric express trains, etc. It is really a great place to take pictures! #KyushuTourism #Kitakyushu #Mojiko #Kyushu Railway Memorial Hall
