Kitakyushu Area

Kitakyushu city is located at the north-side of Fukuoka prefecture.

It's the second biggest city of Fukuoka. Its population is about one million and it consists a great urban area.

There are 7 wards in Kitakyushu city. Kokurakita-ku,Kokuraminami-ku,Moji-ku,Tobata-ku,Yahatahigasi-ku,Yhatanishi-ku and Wakamatsu-ku.

I like 3 main areas of Kitakyushu. Kokura area,Moji area and Yahata area.

Kokura area is a city of Shoppoig. There are 2 big shopping mall,KokuraRiverWalk & KokuraChaChaTown. The former is so colourful a building and is odd-shaped. There are many shops and theaters. From its SkyGarden,you can enjoy city view.The latter also has many shops.

And there is a big Ferris wheel.


And there is Kokura Castle at the central area of Kokura.

It's a so beautiful castle.You can go into the castle. The inside is a museum and you can enjoy the city view from the top of the castle. Many tall buildings are being constructed. And there is a Kitakyushu-monorail going through Kokura city. The railway goes into Kokura station. It's so awesome.

Moji area is the city of sightseeing.

Moji port used to be one of the 3 biggest port of Japan! The 2 port left is Yokohama port and

Kobe port.

Moji port transported so many people abroad.

And they come back to this port and be sentimental.

Cos Moji port was so great port and has so long histories, there are many historical buildings and spots.

Moji sta. is so old and beautiful.

And many events are held in front of it. When i visited here few months ago, there were many classical cars.

There are so many place to C at Moji port. You should come to this place.

Yahata area os the city of amusement.

There used to be the oldest and greatest steel mill in Japan , Governmental Yahata Iron & Steel Works.

After this great steel mill moved to Chiba pref. , a big amusement park,Space World was
opened.

Its admission fee isn't so expensive and it's free to enjoy any attractions of the park.

So amazing.
