When the hustle and bustle of the daytime dies down and the evening sun goes down, Mojiko Port Retro takes on a fantastic appearance, enveloped in gentle lights.
The red-brick buildings that retain the atmosphere of the Meiji and Taisho eras, the pleasant sea breeze blowing through the Kanmon Straits, and the mouth-watering local Gourmet.
In this issue, we will introduce a supreme “full course of night views” touring the Kanmon Kaikyo Straits Museum, beer restaurants, and Mojiko Retro Observation Deck to enjoy Mojiko’s charms from various angles.
Appetizers] A panoramic view that makes you feel like a VIP! Private use of the Kanmon Kaikyo Museum after closing time
Normally, the museum closes at 5:00 p.m., but if you participate in the “Magic Hour Tour of Spectacular View and Dinner,” you can enjoy the museum after closing time in a special reserved area for tour participants only.
Standing on the top deck, where there are no other tourists, and watching the sky deepen in color from moment to moment, the fantastic “Kanmon Kaikyo: Night Picture Scroll” quietly opens.
The lights shimmering on the sea at night, the huge cargo ships quietly passing by, the lights of Shimonoseki city and Kanmon Bridge twinkling in the distance, and the glittering scenery as if sprinkled with stardust, all make for a luxurious moment of relaxation with a drink in hand, as if you are suddenly free from the daily routine.
Main】Mellow craft beer and night view! A blissful dinner at MOJIKO BEER HOUSE
After leaving the Kanmon Kaikyo Museum, walking along the red brick street feeling the night breeze, one heads for MOJIKO BEER HOUSE, a restaurant by a craft beer brand from Mojiko.
In contrast to the impressive atrium on the first floor, the third floor is a calm, woody space with a warm feeling.
The night view of the Kanmon Straits stretching out beyond the large windows decorates the interior of the restaurant as the best decoration.
Once you enter the high-quality space and take a seat, don’t hesitate to toast with a craft beer with fine bubbles!
Mojiko Beer, produced in small batches using European techniques with German malt, American hops, and Japanese yeast, pursues a “freshly made” taste from brewing to delivery to the customer’s palate.
The aroma of barley and hops that wells up in your mouth at once, and after raising a toast, you will want to savor it carefully, making the evening even more exciting.
An essential part of beer is a good snack.
The appetizer platter, created by the company’s own processed meat brand METZGEREI M, is an excellent selection designed to complement the individual characteristics of each beer, such as Weizen and Pale Ale.
The ham, sausage, and liver pate are all excellent and unintentionally appetizing from the very first plate.
This time, the course includes a happy all-you-can-drink package in which you can also enjoy our craft beer.
It is also easy to order on a tablet while viewing photos.
From assorted appetizers, Caesar salad with hot spring egg, handmade sausage of “Kirishima pork” from Kagoshima, fugu fritters, Margherita, and teppan ribeye steak ……, and Mojiko’s specialty “grilled curry” to finish!
The hot griddle enhances the aroma of the curry.
The entire course is also very hearty, and you will definitely enjoy it to the fullest!
While enjoying the food, I looked out the window and saw the night view of the harbor colored with lights.
The restaurant’s lively atmosphere and spectacular view perfectly echo each other, creating a triumvirate of “gastronomy, sake, and beautiful scenery” that will truly bring you a blissful moment that satisfies all five senses.
Mojiko Retro Observation Deck” is one of the three newest nightscapes in Japan, shining like a jewel box! Enjoy the sweet afterglow at Mojiko Retro Observation Deck!
To conclude the “Full Course Night View” (dessert), go to the Mojiko Retro Observation Deck, located right next to the restaurant.
From a height of 103 meters above ground, on the 31st floor, the night view of Mojiko Port can be seen from different angles.
Kitakyushu City, with this spectacular view that shines like a jewel box overflowing with light, was selected as one of the “Japan’s New Three Great Nightscape Cities” in 2022.
The observation deck, with its panoramic view in three directions, allows visitors to fully enjoy the spectacular view that Mojiko boasts.
This is a popular date spot for couples.
You can also lock the “heart-shaped padlock” sold in the museum to keep the memories of your trip in shape.
It is also recommended to enjoy a quiet night view while enjoying drinks and sweets at the café in the observation deck.
For those who are concerned about reflections on the glass, there is a rental service of light-shielding photographic aids available for 100 yen, which can be used with either a camera or smartphone to capture professional-looking nightscape photos.
Mojiko Retro” at night! Stroll Mojiko Retro at night!
After the luxurious “full course night view,” take a stroll in the “Mojiko Retro” area while feeling the afterglow.
The red brick buildings such as the “Former Osaka Merchant Marine,” “Former Moji Customs House,” and “Dalian Friendship Memorial Hall” shine brighter when lit up, and their elegant silhouettes look romantic and completely different from their daytime appearance.
The lights of the harbor reflected on the surface of the water shimmer and sway, like a beautiful painting.
Walking through the quiet port town, you suddenly feel as if you have stepped back in time, and you can feel the flavor of Mojiko’s history as you walk.
End your day’s journey with a leisurely walk from the observation deck to the hotel.
