Mojikou Retro 門司港レトロ
Mojikou 門司港 is a sea port in Kitakyuushuu-shi 北九州市. Mojikou Retro 門司港レトロ is an area in the sea port.
By chance, I bumped into the local Mojikaikyou Festa 門司海峡フェスタ, which was held between 03-06 May to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Mojikou Retro 門司港レトロ area.

The nearest train station are Mojikou station 門司港駅 of JR Kagoshima Main Line JR鹿児島本線 and Kyuushuu Tetsudou Kinenkan Station 九州鉄道記念館駅 of Heisei Chikuho Railway 平成筑豊鉄道門 Mojikou Retro Kankou Line 司港レトロ観光線.
