Kitakyushu trip planner

An important gateway for trade and travel between Honshu and Kyushu, the city of Kitakyushu has an old industrial waterfront and provides access to a number of natural sites across the wider region. The Meiji-era buildings around the docks have been well preserved and serve as some of the main attractions in Kitakyushu, along with a handful of temples and shrines, and modern commercial districts of malls, restaurants, and hotels. The surrounding karst landscape holds plenty of interest for outdoor enthusiasts, with rocky limestone outcrops and atmospheric caves to explore.
