Kitakyushu Rickshaw Tour

2 h
About this activity
Meet outside the Mojiko train station and you will go on a fun but relaxing ride along one Japan's famous straights. Kanmon is a small town that balances various architectural styles side by side, from the train station in the renaissance style, to the former Kyumoji Customs building with its red bricks, over to buildings from the Taisho era to the ultra modern Kaikyo Plaza. Do you want to know where Einstein stayed at during his visit to Japan? Do you want to see the bridge that connects the Honshu to Kyushu? Do you want to be taken for a stroll along the straights, enjoying the sight of various architectural structures matched with interesting and historical information provided by a friendly guide? You can be taken there on this convenient service.
