One of Mojiko's premier viewpoints, the Mojiko Retro Observation Room is located atop an eye-catching high-rise condominium designed by renowned Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa. The glass-enclosed observatory sits on the building's highest floor, complete with panoramic vistas of Mojiko and its surroundings from a height of 103 meters.

Accessible via a direct elevator to the 31st floor, the observation room provides impeccable sights including the Kanmon Bridge, ships navigating through the Kanmon Strait, and the historic townscape of Mojiko. There are even digital telescopes to see across the strait in remarkable detail, bringing landmarks like Karato Market and the cityscape of Shimonoseki impressively close. After sunset, Mojiko transforms into a stunning landscape illuminated in gentle orange lights, highlighting historic buildings like the Former Moji Customs House and Osaka Shosen. This gorgeous evening view has earned the area recognition as a "Japan Night View Heritage" site, making it particularly popular spot to bring your special someone.

A bonus observation cafeteria on sites means you can drop in and relax with drinks, sweets, and local Mojiko craft beers alongside spectacular view.

    The Mojiko Retro Observation Room has such a great vibe! The view from the top lets you see the whole port and the Kanmon Strait—absolutely amazing. During the day, you can watch the ships come and go, and at night, the city lights make it super romantic. It really feels like stepping back in time. Perfect place to slow down, snap some photos, or just relax for a bit.

  • 林志興

    Standing up high and looking out over the port, the old buildings blend perfectly with the modern scenery. It's especially romantic at sunset—you can take some really atmospheric photos. Definitely worth going up for the view!

  • 劉思薇

    The Mojiko Retro Observation Room is totally worth a visit! Take the elevator up and the view just opens up—harbor, ocean, you can even see the city across the way. It has this cool retro-meets-modern vibe, and every photo turns out great! I recommend coming at sunset—the sun and ocean together are super romantic. Afterward, you can check out the retro street area nearby and grab some baked curry. Such a satisfying sightseeing trip!
