Kitakyushu Mojiko Retro Observation Room Ticket

Look down over the Kanmon Strait
from the 31st-floor observation room

The Mojiko Retro Observation Room is on the top floor of the 31-story Mojiko Retro High-Mart. From the spacious glass-walled room, enjoy an open 270-degree view of the city and the ships crossing the Kanmon Strait. Enter at any time during opening hours on your selected date and explore at your own pace.

Find landmarks across the strait with digital telescopes

Use the digital telescopes, which zoom up to 100x, to find landmarks across the strait. On clear days you can see Karato Pier, Kanmon Wharf and Akama Shrine. To the west lie Shimonoseki Port and Ganryujima, where Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro fought their famous duel in 1612, and to the north you can see Dannoura, Mt. Hinoyama and the Kanmon Bridge.

Take in Mojiko Retro's historic buildings at a glance

From the observation room you can also look down on Moji's historic buildings, such as the former Moji Mitsui Club, the former Osaka Shosen Building, Mojiko Station, the former Dairen Route Warehouse and the former Kyushu Railway Headquarters. For the best views of the Kanmon Strait, a visit around sunset is recommended.
