What to expect

Discover the natural and cultural highlights of Kitakyushu on a private shore excursion from Mojiko Port. Travel in a private vehicle and explore at a comfortable pace.

Visit Hiraodai, one of Japan's most impressive karst plateaus, known for its rolling grasslands and distinctive white limestone formations. Continue to Senbutsu Limestone Cave, a National Natural Monument featuring remarkable underground passages and natural rock formations, shaped by nature over thousands of years. Deeper inside the cave, the experience becomes even more memorable as parts of the route follow a shallow underground stream.

Back in the city, explore Tanga Market, a traditional local market known as the "Kitchen of Kitakyushu". Browse stalls selling fresh seafood, local produce, prepared foods and regional specialities while experiencing the atmosphere of this historic market. The tour also includes Kokura Castle, one of the city's most iconic landmarks, where you can learn about the history of Kokura and its former feudal rulers. If time permits, a visit to neighbouring Kokura Castle Garden offers the chance to enjoy traditional Japanese architecture and peaceful surroundings.

Before departure, an English digital guidebook and downloadable audio guide will be provided, featuring useful information about the itinerary and attractions, and the excursion concludes with a return transfer to Mojiko Cruise Port in time for your ship's departure.
