A government-licensed multilingual guide unlocks both sides of the Kanmon Straits in one seamless private day — Mojiko's Meiji-era retro quarter, Shimonoseki's waterfront, and the iconic bridge framing it all. The bucket-list moment: a port city frozen beautifully in time, decoded just for you.
What to expect
Your guide meets you dockside and leads you through Mojiko's beautifully preserved early-20th-century European-influenced architecture, including the former Moji Mitsui Club and the elegant Mojiko Station. You then cross to Shimonoseki — via the pedestrian Kanmon Tunnel or ferry — to explore the waterfront and the famous Karato Fish Market. The day is tailored entirely to your group's interests, with insider restaurant recommendations for Shimonoseki's legendary fugu (pufferfish) cuisine.
Good to know
Book well in advance as licensed private guides fill quickly. Confirm all-aboard time with your ship and discuss the itinerary with your guide beforehand so timings are tight and stress-free. The guide handles all logistics, including transport between the two cities.
