Kamon Wharf
Unbeatable dining, shopping, and scenic walks at this seaside mall.
Opened in 2002 in the Karato area of Shimonoseki Port, Kamon Wharf is the seaside mall where you can delight in Shimonoseki famed fugu dishes, sushi, seafood bowls, and other tastes from the Kanmon Straits, along with shops selling local specialties and souvenirs. The area is known to draw a crowd thanks to the Karato Market and its fresh seafood that’s open to the general public to come and shop, while the Kaikyo Kan aquarium and its 550 some species inside continues to stir up an unprecedented level of buzz around Moji Port.
Kamon Wharf, Karato Market and Kaikyo Kan are all connected by the “boardwalk” wooden deck. The boardwark is a popular lane offering daytime views of the red and white "Lovers' Lighthouse", the Kanmon Bridge directly in front and a romantic nightscape after dark. For popular photo spots, there’s even a pufferfish sculpture in front of Kamon Wharf with a heart mark hidden in the body design.
