Take a relaxing stroll through the Mojiko Retro District

Want to experience Kitakyushu's stunning natural scenery, retro streetscapes, exciting shopping and historical landmarks all at once? This精选 one‑day tour departing from Fukuoka takes you on an in‑depth journey through Kitakyushu's classic attractions, with surprises in every season. A group of 20 is all it takes to form a tour, so you can easily embark on a relaxing and enjoyable trip!

Kawachi Wisteria Garden is renowned as the world's most beautiful wisteria garden and has been selected by CNN as one of the world's top ten most beautiful spots, attracting countless travellers on pilgrimage. The garden features 22 varieties of wisteria. In spring, from late April to mid‑May, the wisteria tunnel is draped in cascades of purple and white blossoms, and stepping into it feels like entering a dreamy fairy‑tale wonderland. If you visit in late autumn, from mid‑November to mid‑December, the garden is filled with crimson autumn leaves, with the maple tunnel unfolding into a warm red corridor, blending the serene garden with vibrant autumn hues for a truly breathtaking scene.

Next, visit the Mojiko Retro District, full of exotic charm, which has beautifully preserved a large number of Western‑style buildings from the Meiji era, including the retro Mojiko Station standing along the street. Take a leisurely stroll through the alleys, browse unique specialty shops, savour the signature Mojiko yaki (grilled curry) and aromatic coffee, and soak in the unique romantic atmosphere of this old port town.

The autumn‑exclusive itinerary adds Katsuyama Park and Kokura Castle! As the autumn maple trees and ginkgo trees gradually change colour, the red and orange foliage surrounds the historic Kokura Castle, where ancient castle walls and colourful autumn leaves complement each other, creating stunningly poetic Japanese‑style scenery.

The tour also includes free shopping time at THE OUTLETS KITAKYUSHU, which brings together international brands and popular Japanese labels. Adjacent to Aeon Mall, you can enjoy one‑stop shopping, with designer brands, cosmetics, souvenirs and daily necessities all available. The complex also offers a variety of local cuisines, so you can savour delicious food while shopping.

This single trip encompasses wisteria seas and maple views, a retro port city, ancient castle autumn colours, and outlet shopping. Departing from Fukuoka, there is no need to arrange transport yourself — it's hassle‑free and comfortable. Gather your family and friends and set off to collect the diverse scenery of Kitakyushu!
