The shopping street in front of the main building was packed with people. The “mikan juice from a tap” is definitely a fun local experience.
I naively thought the mikan juice that comes out when you turn the faucet was free 😆
The Starbucks here is connected to the station and has a retro vibe, and even the Lawson sign is designed to be low-key.
I also heard they recreated the Bocchan Clock for Taipei Songshan. I’ve never seen it in Taipei Songshan, but I’ve seen the one in Matsuyama, Ehime twice 😆

The wooden interior of Mojiko Station has a romantic, retro Taisho-era vibe. I was taking side shots of the station restroom 😁 and got distracted by the water fountain next to it. There’s also a Starbucks inside the station where you can take a break.
The banana man in Mojiko is a must-photo spot. I heard it has some connection to Taiwanese bananas. One black and one yellow, they look super cool in the sunlight.
This place is full of the unique charm of a port city. You can also stroll through the nostalgic streets and visit European-style buildings like the former Moji Mitsui Club and the International Friendship Memorial Library. -

Kanmon Bridge was wrapped in clouds and mist. It's a key transportation link connecting Honshu and Kyushu, and the Kanmon Straits run below it. There's also an undersea tunnel you can walk through.
Shimonoseki is the hometown of former Prime Minister Abe, and I unexpectedly came across his authentic calligraphy while dining at a restaurant. -

When I got to Shimonoseki, my first stop was Karato Market. The fresh fugu sashimi was sliced paper-thin, and there was also nigiri sushi and a huge variety of seafood on display.
But honestly, all I really wanted was a photo with the fugu. -
