This place not only has Western-style buildings and restaurants, but also shops that blend Japanese elements. It's a great spot to experience the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures.

Mojiko Retro Tourist Souvenir Hall “Minato House”
Mojiko Retro, one of Kitakyushu City’s most iconic sightseeing areas, preserves the atmosphere of the port town that once thrived on international trade. The area is lined with historic buildings designated as Registered Tangible Cultural Properties of Japan, such as the Former Moji Mitsui Club-where Einstein once stayed-and JR Mojiko Station, built in 1914. Nearby, you’ll also find the Blue Wing Moji, one of the largest pedestrian drawbridges in Japan, making the area full of fascinating sights.
This shop has a real local vibe, packed with retro elements. It honestly feels like stepping back into the Showa era!

Yokohama Chinatown
Yokohama Chinatown, one of Japan’s three major Chinatowns, is a district lined with countless Chinese restaurants. From affordable dishes you can enjoy as takeout or all-you-can-eat meals to authentic Chinese cuisine, there are options to suit your budget.
The festive atmosphere is really strong here! If you visit during the New Year, you can catch dragon and lion dance performances and really feel the holiday spirit!
