An unexpected lunch date to this fish market. If you love sushi, this is a place to go. So many stalls offering fresh sushi of different types. Some offer treys to let you pick and choose, while other do it for you and some specialize in a specific fish. We waited in one queue for about 10 minutes or so for the tuna specials. Mmmmm sooooo good! So hard to decide and it’s all in your face…LOVE IT! And if you’re worried that this market has the “fishy smell” don’t even. I was fine being in there and didn’t have that stink that many other markets in other Asian countries have. This is a more local touristy spot, which is great because you don’t have those big city crowds. I’d go back if I can! YUM!🍣🍱🐟🐠🍤🐡🎏

If you’re visiting Shimonoseki, Karato Market is definitely a must-see spot.
Fresh and delicious sushi is waiting for you inside. For those arriving by ferry, you can easily hop on a bus or taxi (or even walk, since it’s not too far). But if you’re driving, be prepared—parking can be a bit of a hassle, especially on sunny days when the wait time tends to get long. Most people enjoy their food in the open area right next to the market, but recently they’ve opened a dining space on the second floor. There’s a small fee (I believe it was about 300 yen per person), but on a hot day with nowhere to sit, it’s a very welcome option. Grab some tasty sushi, relax, and take in the view of the peaceful blue sea—you’ll really feel the charm of Shimonoseki!

Karato Fish Market in Shimonoseki is a lively waterfront market famous for super-fresh seafood, especially blowfish (fugu). On weekends and holidays, stalls sell sushi, sashimi, and seafood bowls at affordable prices, making it popular with both locals and visitors. You can buy your food, then enjoy it outside while overlooking the Kanmon Strait. It’s a great spot to taste fresh Japanese seafood in a casual atmosphere.

🐟 Karato Fish Market (Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi) Review Karato Fish Market is one of the liveliest and most enjoyable seafood markets in western Japan. Located right by the sea in Shimonoseki, it offers visitors a vibrant atmosphere filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of fresh seafood. Every morning, local fishermen and vendors display an incredible variety of freshly caught fish and shellfish. The highlight for most visitors is the weekend sushi market, where dozens of stalls sell beautifully prepared sushi, sashimi, and seafood rice bowls at very reasonable prices. You can walk along the pier with a tray of fresh sushi while enjoying the sea breeze and view of the Kanmon Strait — a truly local experience. The market staff are friendly and energetic, happy to explain the different types of fish and preparation styles. There are also souvenir shops and small restaurants nearby where you can try blowfish (fugu), the specialty of Shimonoseki. The area around the market is clean, lively, and easy to explore. It’s best to visit in the morning (around 8–10 a.m.) when the selection is at its peak. Overall, Karato Fish Market is a must-visit for seafood lovers — a place where you can enjoy delicious, affordable sushi, learn about Japan’s fishing culture, and feel the authentic spirit of a coastal city.

If your looking for a Family tour place, you got the right place. Drink and eat 1-2dollar sushi! You can buy cold sake at the sake shop in the right corner.eat the sushi at the bench out side. Abalone sashimi is Great too.

If you’re visiting Mojiko, take the ferry across to Shimonoseki on Honshu, where you’ll find the famous Karato Fish Market—a popular spot among tourists. The market is especially known for selling sushi and is only open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. You can buy sushi inside and then enjoy it outside at the many seating areas while taking in the ocean view. The market’s signature specialty is fugu (pufferfish), served as both sushi and sashimi. In fact, the pufferfish is even the symbol of the market. The sushi here is quite affordable, with plenty of vendors to choose from. The taste is pretty good too—not bad at all. The fugu, in particular, has a unique texture: it leaves a slight numbness on your tongue, but it’s delicious.

We went crazy in this market. Great fresh sushi and sashimi with great value. This market is famous for puffer fish and whale. My first experience with whale sushi, it was wild. 22 pieces of sushi with toro, hamachi, eel, sardine, whale with a place of toro and a puffer fish sashimi for below ¥10,000. You can sit and eat by the sea.

A lot of dinner sushi stalls, very busy even during the weekdays. Check out all the stalls to see different vendors, they even have whale sushi but can’t be filmed. Lots of eating space outside the market and they even have a regular stores in the front.

Plenty selections of souvenirs. You can visit after Karato fish market. Kamin Wharf also got restrooms and several light meal/snack/coffee/tea to visit. I personally recommend Takada coffee for its coffee, tea, and homemade cake.

A trip to Mojiko then to the Karato Fish Market landed us at the Kamon Wharf. It is a wide area connecting must- see spots. There is a shopping mall with restaurants on the wharf. This is also where the fish market is located which is packed on weekends because of the varied sushi selection they sell. A marine world- Kaikyokan and an amusement park is also here. Strolling around this place is a nice daytrip from Hakata if weather is good.

Next to Karato fish market with an awesome view!

Food was good but expect a long wait if its busy.

Very nice area with lots of different shops most selling fugu and other types of seafood. Many of the different shops were quite friendly and spoke a little English or at least enough to get by. Most of what we found was premade and packaged but we did end up deciding to try a couple things including fugu which was good! There was plenty of space outside to find a spot to eat and for the kids to run out a little bit of energy before we continued on to the aquarium.

Nice view over Kanmon Straits. We were lucky to spot a huge cargo ship passing through. The pedestrian area was neat and clean. Many groups of dancers were taking turns to show off their colorful and vibrant programs when we visited. There were several life-sized cardboard cutouts featuring the famous swordsmen, Sasaki Kojiro and Miyamoto Musashi, for tourists photos.

Akama Jingu is a beautiful shrine is located on the stunning Kanmon Straits. The shrine is dedicated to the child emperor Antoku and other warriors who fell during the battle of Dan-no-ura in 1185. The location also provides many other historical locations to explore near by and offers beautiful water front views, and restaurants.

Not many people seem to know the true charm of Akama at night. It may not shine as brightly as shrines in bigger cities, but here in Shimonoseki, there's a quiet, subtle beauty that lingers like a faint scent on the breeze. Under the dark sky, it glows with a deep red hue—soft, yet captivating. There’s no need for noise or lights. Just the sound of the sea breeze brushing past, and the stillness that gently wraps around you. As I strolled through the night, passing by this small yet majestic shrine, I found myself completely at peace— a rare moment to quietly walk, breathe, and simply think. I hope you, too, get to experience that kind of night.

A red-white shrine located close to the sea. The architecture is quite unique. The red & white contrasting color makes a pale pink sakura flower more beautiful. The sea view from the shrine is also stunning.

I visited the jingu at around 1pm, 8 May 2025. There were only a few visitors in the jingu, but there were some construction projects ongoing at that time. The complex is free to enter, and the buildings are brightly coloured in a traditional red hue. There is information about the history of the jingu, its relationship with Antoku Tenno and Hoichi the Earless.

Came to this jinja after a short ferry ride from the Kyushu/Mojikou Port side to the Honshu/Yamaguchi side of the beautiful Kanmon Straits. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from the Karato ferry landing dock. Beautiful red and white structures and s pretty cute of the Kanmonkyo Bridge as you head back towards the street. No fee to enter our to look around, but a gift shop awaits to separate you and your funds. We went on a weekday during the late morning/early afternoon. A nice stop if you are in the area. Recommended!

The shrine is kinda quite shiny and fabulous to us. It is nice to stop by and enjoy the beauty of shrine architecture and decoration.

Great Shinto shrine in Japan. This shrine has sacred atmosphere. Vivid colored shrine buildings are impressive!

It's another aquarium in Fukuoka, slightly small, but each has its strength and weaknesses against other aquarium. If like to see puffer fish I think this place had the most variety in Japan....😲 🐟 Great for fish lover. Not forgetting the std seal n dolphins act..👍

Honestly at 2500 yen per person I didn’t think I’d have this much fun at this aquarium. They had a lot of exhibits and things to do but we just walked around the aquarium and enjoyed whatever they had to offer. Seeing the penguin is honestly my highlight. Definitely worth checking out if you have time after the fish market.

Small aquarium. A place I went to to escape the heat in very hot weather. Just a small aquarium. There are dolphin and seal shows a few times a day, and there is also a fish feeding show. I couldn't find a parking lot, so I parked in the parking lot across the street toward Karato Market and paid 800 yen. Parking fee is too expensive. There is a restaurant on the beach on the first floor where you can eat while looking at the aquarium. If you don't want to go into the aquarium, you can eat ice cream (500 yen) at this restaurant while looking at the aquarium.

One of the main attractions of this Aquarium is the number of puffer fish species they have. It's amazing. The dolphin show was good too.

This was the surprise of our trip. It doesn’t seem to be big from the outside but looks can be deceiving, it has plenty to see for everyone. The dolphin show is the best I’ve ever seen in my life, really impressive. Prices are reasonable and both my teenage boys love it.

It is a must visit place if you are in simonoseki. It is a wonderful place for marine life lover. Main attraction is the penguin and the dolphins show that is held half an hour intervals. It is so beautiful to see. Also there are lots of types of fish also. Coral reef, jellyfish, sharks, sea lion, sun fish are few examples. There is blue whale skeleton also. Overall it is a awesome place to visit.

This is really a beautiful place to see the Beauty of Fish .. It's an amazing aquarium... So many amazing fishes ... It feels like touching them with close. .. The dolphins show is the main attraction i found.. it was an amazing experience there .. Yuko 🍀 and Me ... we had a great time ...

Good for children. Paid for ticket. The outdoor train simulator requires ¥300 for 2 people. The indoor train simulator is free but takes a long time for waiting, STRONGLY suggests reserving the indoor train simulator first.

Kyushu railway history museum is a nice museum to understand more about trains, although not a very big one. You can try the train simulator and play with the model train for ¥100. You can even take the mini train ride to become a train captain for ¥300 but could be close due to bad weather.

What amazed me is how much they can fit inside of the tiny park area. With the ¥300 yen ticket per adult you can check out historic trains from the last century parked in a row, a mini outdoor railway park, a diorama room showcasing all the N-gauge Shinkansen and other iconic express trains in Kyushu, a train simulator room, a library of real, ancient relics on train history in Kyushu and so on.

Great museum. Tons of artifacts. Great layout. Just wish things were translated into other languages for non-Japanese speakers. If they were, I would give this five stars.

my sons love trains so when they know there is a train museum in kyushu, they keep nagging to go here. quite nice, not too big like the one we went on another city but they still like it. there are several old trains on the train garage with each of their history. we can also go inside the museum which shows many old things related to trains. kids also can play train simulator by paying 100 yen only, but you need to get ticket reservation because most children would like to play this.

Boring, nothing to see here but a few trains that you cannot enter. Bunch of Japanese kids running around and shouting. Perhaps this is what hell looks like. Everything that seems fun is paywar. Save the 300 yen for a menchi katsu instead

As a train fan this is the place I’ve been owing to go while in Kitakyushu. Adjacent to Mojiko Station there are old train carriages outdoors on display with three of them you can enter inside, as the interior is well preserved. The main building hosts a small 1900 carriage and an exhibition room upstairs with railway artifacts, station and destination signs and old photos. Though not as big as the one near Omiya it is great that there is one.

It's a bridge between Yamaguchi mainland and Sono island. The view from the observatory was very good. There is one car bay in the middle of the bridge from where the sea can be observed. Be careful about wind when you visit. Recommended place.

It is a must visit place in Yamaguchi Ken. The view around the light house and from the top of the light house is so breathtaking. Make sure to visit on a sunny day. The dark blue and green colour sea is so awesome. There is small musuem as well where is is explain who and how the light house was made.

Nice viewing point but the park is a little over grown, but still clean and presentable. If the brush was trimmed a bit sunsets and ocean views would be much better.

Nice view, allow us to relax

I really love this place! Scenery from here is wonderful and the sea breeze is so comfortable that makes you feel relaxed. Must visit here if you travel in Yamaguchi.

Not a very popular tourist spot but highly recommend if you are in Yamaguchi.The entire island is beautiful and the view from the hilltop where the lighthouse is located is beautiful. I visited in may and it was lovely but should be really nice in the summer months.

Just wonderful scenery from here. Many tasty food that you can enjoy in here. Less ppl more fun.!

Food was delicious. Service was perfect.

The ingredients are fresh. Prices are reasonable. Staff is friendly. Recommend to sit indoor on a hot day. No english menu.

Our family enjoyed food at this restaurant, but there were not many people around this area during the period of our visit. Still enjoyed near the ocean^^

If you wanna try some blowfish dishes with decent price, come here! They also provide “Dassai” Japanese sake 👍🏻

It's a really nice restaurant. My friend and I have a great lunch here. I've tasted sea ​​urchin and puffer fish here. Both dishes is really tasty!

Have tried the Shimonoseki traditional soba (mini version). Taste is just so so.

(Translated by Google) I had the Fukufuku Gozen. The sashimi was chewy and thick, and delicious. The tempura was fluffy and delicious. The pufferfish had a slight odor in the hot pot, which I personally didn't like. Overall, I was very satisfied with the ocean view from the restaurant. It was a weekday afternoon, so we were able to get in right away. (Original) ふくふく御前をいただきました。 お刺身は弾力ととろみがあり美味しかったです。天ぷらはふわふわとしていて美味しかった。鍋にするとフグは少し臭みが出ていたので、個人的にはあまり好きではなかったです。 お店から見える海の景色が総合的にはかなり満足。 平日昼間でしたのですぐ入れました。

If you come early, and the market has not yet started, just head to upper floor, and try this place. They speak English and also have English menu. Everything was just perfect.

The male receptionist at the entrance was noticeably unfriendly toward foreign guests. When I asked for tea, he only pointed to the cups, implying I had to serve myself. Despite placing my order first, guests who arrived later were served the same set meal before me. The food was disappointing—excessively oily and giving off an unpleasant fishy odor.

first time trying fried fugu, and it was a 10/10 experience. staffs are friendly.

So delicious food. Not expensive. Great staffs

Delicious and not expensive. The clients are friendly to foreigners. Super love this.

Love the fugu set meal. Reasonable price as well. I give this restaurant 🐡🐡🐡🐡🐡 (5 fugu rating)

Very nice food with affordable price

This is the worst and most trashy Japanese store I've ever been to. The arrogant and rude cashier, who doesn't say a word from start to finish. After ordering, she goes to greet the Japanese, completely ignoring foreign tourists. We went first and she was the last to go. Tell her she would look at you with innocent eyes and still not apologize or say anything. The cheesecake can't form, nor can I give a wet wipe, nor do I voluntarily give water, crap! Please stay out of the light at the store where 40 minutes will be until all the other Japanese have finished eating.

Very good selections of coffee , cozy place offers set A & B , please go for set and don’t bother the staff with only one set for 2 people. Soft serve flavors are super tasty. Came back with my girlfriend twice !! The owner super pretty and nice lady , roasting good beans from around the world. Hope can meet her again 💚

Super good pudding! Coffee also great taste

The pistachio cheese cake is great. An ideal place to take a break after visiting the Karato market

Great little coffee shop . Very nice coffee choices & the best cheesecake I have ever had in my life. The staff were nice & friendly. One cool thing is they play lots of Beatles music! I love that!

It had no service at all. The coffee was very pricy (3160 yen for four coffee) and the way of filtering coffee wasn’t good: at the end of drinking the coffee, the fine grain coffee powder would be on the tongue. This is not pleasant at all.

It is not often that I come across a restaurant that has both excellent sweets and coffee, Best coffee, Best Cheesecake, parfait!!

I like this place, traditional and nice view to sea.

Good job

(Translated by Google) I had a wonderful lunch. 💖 I had seen this place in a magazine before, and a close friend invited me here. We had a relaxing meal in a room with a view of the ocean. The food was as beautiful as a painting. It was so delicious I wanted to shout "Bravo!" 😘 We chose a drink called a degustation to pair with our meal, and thoroughly enjoyed each and every dish. The staff were incredibly attentive and fluently explained the dishes. ✌️ I can't remember them all, lol. We had sparkling wine, Argentine Chardonnay white wine, and Pinot Noir red wine. It had been a while since I'd had steak with Chaliapin sauce, and it was so satisfying! 😚 I didn't feel bloated, and it soothed both my body and mind. I'd definitely return to Hiyori-an. 😊☺️ They also offer a convenient shuttle service from Shimonoseki Station. 🤗 Please make a reservation if you plan on visiting. The photos are arranged upside down, so it's Kei-san again today. 😉 (Original) 素晴らしいランチタイムを過ごさせていただきました。💖以前、雑誌で見た事があり、心友さんに誘われての訪問です。海の見えるお部屋でゆっくり～ゆっくり～食事をしました。お料理は、絵画のように美しいです。ブラボーと叫びたくなる位美味しいですよ～。😘デギュスタシオンと言う、食事に合わせての飲み物を選び、一皿、一皿を堪能しました。スタッフの方々がとっても気配り上手で、お料理の説明がスラスラ言えるんです。✌️覚えられない私。笑。スパークリングやアルゼンチンの白ワインシャルドネに赤ワインピノノワール。シャリアピンソースステーキなんて、久しぶりにいただいてハッピーでした～。😚　胃もたれもなく、心も体も癒されて、また行きたい日和庵です。😊☺️下関駅から送迎もありますので、便利ですヨ。🤗 是非、予約されて行かれて下さい。 写真の並べ方が逆でして、今日もお笑いのケイざんす。😉

(Translated by Google) Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted absolutely wonderful. From our seats we could enjoy views of the Kanmon Straits and Strait Tower, making for a truly memorable experience. (Original) どのお料理も一品一品が美しく盛り付けられており、味わいも大変素晴らしいものでございました。 また、お席からは関門海峡や海峡タワーなどの景観を望むことができ、心に残るひとときを過ごさせていただきました。

(Translated by Google) I made a reservation for lunch and visited. It was a restaurant where you could enjoy a special time with great food and service while watching the ships passing through the Kanmon Strait. I wouldn't go there often, but I think it would be a great place for anniversaries and celebrations. All of the dishes were elaborately prepared and included things I wouldn't normally eat. As many people have written, the road to the parking lot is quite narrow, but if you proceed carefully and slowly you'll be fine. (Original) ランチを予約して訪問しました。 関門海峡を行き来する船を見ながら、素敵なお料理とサービスで特別な時間が過ごせるお店でした。 頻繁にはいけませんが、記念日やお祝いにはぴったりなお店だと思います。 お料理はどれも手が込んでいて、普段食べることがない物ばかりでした。 みなさん書かれているように、駐車場までの道はかなり狭いですが、慎重にゆっくり進めば大丈夫です。

(Translated by Google) It was delicious! We came here on our wedding anniversary. The atmosphere was calm and the food was delicious. We could see the lit-up Ferris wheel at night. We had an 8-year-old child with us, but he was so focused on eating that he finished it in no time. It was a good memory. However, the narrow slopes on the way were more than we expected, so I think it would be easier to drive a small car. (Original) 美味しかったです！結婚記念日に来ました 落ち着いた空間と美味しいご飯、夜にはライトアップされた観覧車も見れました 8歳の子供も一緒でしたが、美味しすぎたようで集中して食べ、あっという間にペロリ いい思い出になりました でも道中の細い坂は想像以上だったので、軽自動車が運転しやすいと思います

Motonosumi Inari Shrine was the final stop on our Klook tour, and to be honest, I was starting to get a bit impatient on the way there—the ride from Karato Market took about 1.5 hours. Since we were on a smaller coaster bus navigating narrow roads, it felt more prone to motion sickness. But once we arrived—especially when we reached the actual shrine—it was absolutely worth it. The walk through the rows of torii gates, with the sound of waves crashing nearby and the view of the sea, was nothing short of mesmerizing. There’s something really calming and powerful about the place that photos just can’t fully capture. The area itself is quite simple: a small souvenir shop, a little ice cream stand, and a public restroom with limited cubicles—so don’t expect a lot of amenities. There’s a shortcut going back up: once you reach the shrine at the bottom, look for a small path with a few steps leading to a viewing deck. From there, it's mostly flat terrain back to the area near the shops—no need to climb back up the original stairs. The return trip to the city took around 3.5 hours, as Japan requires rest stops on long drives (there's a mandatory break every 2 hours or so), so factor that into your schedule. If you have the time, I highly recommend visiting via a Klook tour or similar option like hiring a private vehicle - the area is remote, and there’s no direct public transportation

Beautiful place. There are many other things to do other than the Torii shrine. When you get to the end of the walk through the gates there is a lot of beautiful spots to take photos with the Sea of Japan in the background. You do have to pay for parking with yen, there are also lots of places to make wishes so bring your coins!

When the weather is nice, the color of sea surface is a vibrant blue, and paired with brightly colored red birdhouses, it's beautiful! But since there are many stairs, older visitors should pay attention to the safety of their feet when visiting here.

⛩️ Motonosumi Shrine (Nagato, Yamaguchi) Review Motonosumi Shrine is one of the most breathtaking and photogenic spots in Japan. Located in Nagato City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, it’s famous for its 123 bright red torii gates that stretch dramatically along the hillside toward the blue sea. The contrast between the vivid vermilion gates, the lush greenery, and the deep ocean creates an unforgettable view — it’s no surprise this site has been featured in many travel magazines as one of Japan’s most scenic shrines. The path of torii gates leads you down toward the cliffs, where you can feel the ocean wind and hear the sound of waves crashing below. It’s a peaceful yet powerful place that perfectly captures Japan’s harmony between nature and spirituality. One of the fun traditions here is the offering box located high above the main torii gate — visitors try to toss coins into it for good luck. It adds a playful, unique touch to the visit. The surrounding area is also worth exploring: there are small cafés, souvenir stands, and observation points with panoramic views of the coastline. The shrine staff and locals are welcoming, and the whole area is clean and well maintained. Whether you’re interested in photography, Japanese culture, or simply beautiful seaside landscapes, Motonosumi Shrine is an absolute must-visit. It’s a place that leaves you with both serenity and awe — a perfect blend of natural beauty and sacred tradition.

Is a beautiful place. be careful if you drive here, the roads are narrow. google took me a road but ended up the road was closed due to road work. parking is not free. I paid 300 yen for about an hour.

Motonosumi Inari Shrine is just super stunning… there is something just so powerful about this place that pictures can’t capture… we drove there from shimonoseki gps took us through a very narrow road..,to be honest it was quite scary a long the way we don’t see any cars behind us but when we arrived the parking lot was full just curious which route the local took to reach here…

Visited early in the morning since we were staying within a 15mins’ drive so there were hardly anyone. It’s not a big place but the setting is beautiful. Sunlight was harsh so the photos do not represent the actual beauty.

Beautiful Inari shrine at an amazing location. It’s unfortunate most of the shrine area prohibits photography. Still, the experience alone is worth 4 stars.

It was a very beautiful shrine, and had 900+ Torii gates! There were many types of charms, and all of them were very reasonably priced. The environment around the shrine feels very magical and sacred. Very impressive, with an amazing view of the ocean and islands! The staff were also very kind to us, even though our Japanese is not very good. This is now our favorite shrine 💕

Worth the visit if you’re in the area, quiet and tranquil. Photos are not allowed within the compound so be respectful if visiting.

One of the most beautiful shrines I have had the pleasure of visiting. There are multiple areas to take pictures as well as a road cover in torii gates.

Great place to visit for start of New Year! #ohdisisgreat

Beautiful shrine and torii gates. No other tourists there when we visited so had the place to ourselves. Great alternative to Fushimi inarii shrine if you want to escape the crowds in Kyoto

Beautiful

Mojiko Station is beautiful—it really feels like stepping back in time. I actually visited twice in a row. The first time was during the Kanmon Festival, so it was extremely crowded. The second visit was the next day, and it was much quieter, which allowed me to enjoy the station more. I stopped by the information center (the staff there were very welcoming), and also visited the lost and found office next to the tracks—though that older building wasn’t as charming. Overall, I’m glad I came. It was a wonderful experience.

Mojiko is our first destination using the JR North Kyushu Pass this trip. Located in Kitakyushu, one can overlook Honshu from the port area. It's not a big place and it's not as crowded compared to Yufuin and the urban areas. We come here for the banana cuisines (beverages, snacks and incredibly banana baked curry) and the sea breeze. Many restaurants serving baked curry line up the streets along Mojiko Station. Head to the nearby observation tower for an unobstructed view. Before you reach, you will pass by a souvenir store for more banana goodies. The banana auction site, located a few metres out of the station was where bananas from Taiwan was auctioned off in the early 90s. There is another shopping arcade that encircled the port area, that's where most of the action is. Most of the attractions are located south of the station, making this an easy itinerary for a day trip.

A nostalgic journey back in time. Mojiko Station is a beautiful and historic place, perfect for exploring the charming streets and enjoying delicious local cuisine.

It is a large yet quiet terminal station next to the harbour. Its bay platforms are a bit similar to those at Hakodate station, but Mojiko station building looks more traditional and grand.

Mojiko station is a small train station that has a lot of history. The fountains for example are relects from 1914 and are still working. The buildings around it also look like they were built a long time ago. There is a fountain in front of the station. Across the street is the Moji Port. We took a ferry to go to the Karato Fish Market and visit tbe attractions nearby. We used the same route going back to Hakata.

This station faces the Kyushu Railway Museum and is a historical station. (The station building was completed in 1914.) The history of the station dates back to 1891. There were no bridges or tunnels in the Kanmon Strait when it first opened, and this station served as the gateway to the railways of Kyushu. The station building is an important cultural property and is popular among Japanese railway enthusiasts.

Very well kept station. None of the credit card readers actually work so bring yen if you feel bad about not paying. The staff here is chill. The fountains are sometimes turned on in the front. The station is clean and they have some cute plants by the rails.

Took a morning hike up to the top. Beautiful view! I took the main road as far as I was allowed to walk and then took the trail. It’s less than a km to meet the cable car landing, and the path is easy to follow.

A nice little park atop Hinoyama. There is a small gift shop, viewing platform and eating area at the top also. There is a cable car line up to the top, but in all my visits I never used it. The parking is free and offers lots of spots. The view from the top of the mountain is pretty spectacular. You can take in the whole of the Kanmon strait, looking across to Kyushu. You also get great views towards Shimonoseki city and Korea (though obviously Korea isn't visible). There is also what I assume to be an old artillery fort with old bunkers and gun emplacements that you can explore. Quite creepy at night.

Had nothing better to do after Karatto Market and Aquarium. Needed something to do before the Yume Tower, so I tried here. Pretty nice. Good view.

Very peaceful experience. The views are very beautiful. The Shimonoseki bridge and sea was beautiful.

Great view of the sea. A place to relax and take a walk. It also has a playground. In spring you can walk among tulip fields and cherry blossoms.

Nice place to see Mojiko and Shimonoseki area. This also historic spot. It has old cannon and fortress ruins. The road is a little bit steep. Be carefull especially when wet. Really hot area in summer. They have some walking trail. I don't know about public transportation to access this area. Plenty parking area, public toilets are available.

A beautiful park and view!

As a self-professed history geek, this was a must-visit for me when I came to Shimonoseki. The battlefield is a pleasant stroll along the waterfront from the station, though buses also run out towards it. The statues on display were well done, and the views add a sense of scale to what happened here. I would have appreciated more than a one-sentence summary of the events in English, however.

The Battle of Dannoura was a battle fought between the Heishi and Genji clans on March 25, 1185, in Dannoura, Akamagaseki, Nagato Province, at the end of the Heian period in Japan. From the mid-Heian period onwards, the warrior class grew, and among them, the Heishi and Genji clans were the most powerful. These two clans fought their final battle on March 24, 1185, in Dannoura, Akamagaseki, Nagato Province; present-day Shimonoseki. On this day, the armies of the two clans faced off at sea at Dannoura. The Heike divided their 500 ships into three divisions and fought with Yamaga Hideto and Matsura as generals, but around noon the Heike was defeated. Minamoto no Yoritomo of the Genji clan, who won this battle, established the shogunate in Kamakura in 1192, thus beginning the warrior government that would last for approximately 700 years until the Edo period.

Waving statues here. They even explain the history in English here! It's right next to a bus stop so it's convenient enough to visit and it's near the water for an easy view of the Strait and bridge. There's plenty of seating around.

This was a great historical stop on our Obon. There was also a really kind kamishibai lady who was extremely entertaining!

Dannoura Battlefield, or 壇之浦古戦場, is a historic site in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, marking the place of the final battle in the Genpei War. Fought in 1185 between the Taira and Minamoto clans, this decisive naval battle led to the Minamoto's victory and marked the rise of the first shogun. Visitors to the area can explore memorials and landmarks associated with this monumental event. The battleground's serene setting by the sea juxtaposes with the turbulent history it represents, making it a poignant destination for those interested in Japan's rich martial legacy.

A battle that took place on March 24, 1185 (April 25, 1185) at the end of the Heian period at Akama Seki Dannoura in Nagato Province (now Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture). This is the final battle of the Jisho-Juei War, which brought down the prosperous Taira clan. The place where the two major powers in Japan at the time fought and settled here. Various stories were born in the battle between these two, and they are still told by people today.

It's bigger than I thought. The food court is also adequate. There are also many electronic products and related accessories.

Decent little mall. Not exceptional but not terrible. Elevator is easy to find. Bathrooms are relatively clean. Good book store. Not a lot for shoes and clothing. Excellent location by the station.

The whole population, and a large proportion of shops, of Shimonoseki seemed to be in this mall when we went there on a Saturday. The streets were empty but the car park of thos mall was packed to the 6th floor. We ate at the inexpensive but delicious Kineya Udon Noodles chain restaurant in the restaurant section on the 6th floor at 800 yen a bowl. We went next door to the attached Daimaru department store to see the art exhibition, the local produce, and the Toukyuu Hands stationery. The mall has an Edion electronics store where we viewed the latest games, a Daiso 100 yen shop, lots of clothes and shoe shops, and a cinema. There are more eateries on the ground (1st) floor. There are massage chairs next to the restaurants on the 6th floor. The only problem for me was the lack of windows.

Closes very early but nice selections and diverse food choices.

A nice facility to shop various things. There are many shops with a wide variety of selections.

Decent mall. Has the usual stuff.

Nice environment with all local needs

(Translated by Google) I suddenly had a craving for yakisoba, so I visited Kameya in the basement of Sea Mall. My wife ordered medium yakisoba and I ordered small. It's still delicious after eating it for the first time in a while 🎶 My husband and I ate it thoroughly. (Original) 急に焼きそばが食べたくなり、シーモール地下の「かめや」さんに訪問。 妻は焼きそば中、私は小を注文。 久々に食べたらやはり美味しい🎶 夫婦共々、ペロリと食しました。

(Translated by Google) I visited because it's said to be Shimonoseki's soul food. I was asked if I wanted mustard mayonnaise. Personally, I was right to choose mustard mayonnaise. It was very delicious. The menu was small. The drink menu only offered beer or cola, and since I can't drink either, I went for cold water. It's a forbidden carbohydrate menu item, so it's not suitable for people on a diet, but it was very delicious. (Original) 下関のソウルフードという事で訪れました。 からしマヨネーズをつけるか聞かれました。個人的にはからしマヨネーズをつけて正解でした。 とてもおいしかったです。 メニューの数が少なめでした。 飲み物メニューがビールとコーラの二択だったので、どちらも飲めないからお冷やにしました。 禁断の炭水化物メニューなので、ダイエット中の人には向いてないのですが、とてもおいしかったです。

(Translated by Google) Also, prices have gone up. The takoyaki seem smaller than before, I can't even tell if there's octopus inside, and the portion of yakisoba seems smaller... The taste seems to have gotten worse... So I don't think the price increase is inevitable. Kameya used to be tasty, cheap, and had large portions, and it was known as Shimonoseki's soul food, but aren't those tourist prices? (Original) また、値上がりしてた。 以前より たこ焼きは小さくなった気がするし、中のタコも入ってるのかどうかもワカラナイし、焼きそばも量が少なくなった様な····· 味も何か落ちた様な···· それで値上がりはしょうが無いとは思えない。 美味しくて、安くて、量があったのが、かめやで、下関のソールフード何て言われてたのに、あれじゃぁ 観光地価格じゃないかな？

(Translated by Google) Tako Soba “Small” 580 yen Ultra soul food in Shimonoseki🐙 The location is on the basement floor of Sea Mall. When you enter through the front door and walk to the right, you will see stairs going down to the basement. There's no way this combination isn't delicious! 😋“Small” is written as half a ball of yakisoba, but it usually comes with one ball. 😂So even the “small” size may be difficult for children, women, and elderly people. I thought it would be nice to have one size smaller. I would also have been happy if there were tissues on the table. (Original) たこそば焼き“小”　　５８０円 下関のウルトラソウルフード🐙 場所はシーモールの地下１階。正面玄関から入って右に歩いてくと地下に下りる階段があります。 この組み合わせ美味くないわけがない！😋“小”は焼きそば半玉と書いてますが普通に一玉あります。😂なので子供や女性、高齢の方には“小”でもキツイかもかもです。もうワンサイズ量が少ないのがあっても良いかなって思いました。あとテーブルにテッシュがあったら嬉しかったです。

(Translated by Google) It's been a while since I last came to Shimonoseki, so I went straight in at 10:30am when they opened. I had the large takosoba. It was consistently delicious and I was very satisfied. Kameya also provides excellent service, regularly refilling your glass with water even without you having to ask. This is a great restaurant that you'll definitely want to visit when you're in Shimonoseki. (Original) 久しぶりに下関にきたので営業開始時間の10時半に即入店。 たこそば大を食べました。安定した美味しさで大満足でした。 かめやはこちらがお願いもしてないのに定期的にコップに水を入れてくれるのでサービスも満点です。 下関に来たら必ず行きたくなる最高のお店です。

(Translated by Google) When I told a colleague from Yamaguchi Prefecture that I was planning to go sightseeing and asked him what gourmet food I should try in Yamaguchi Prefecture, the first thing he introduced me to was Kameya, so I couldn't pass it up! So that's it Immediately after business hours start after 10:30 on Saturday I took out the most recommended Tako Sobayaki for 580 yen. It was run by people of all ages, including grandmothers, grandfathers, young men, and old men, and I got the impression that they were preserving the flavors loved by the locals. With 6 pieces of takoyaki and yakisoba (there's a lot of yakisoba under the takoyaki), it's very filling, and it's enough for one person, or enough for two. The takoyaki had a flat bottom and a chewy texture, and the yakisoba had thick noodles with a rich sauce and mustard mayonnaise that gave it an unmistakable flavor. You can enjoy it for breakfast at Shimonoseki Station or as a snack on the train 😋 It was so delicious! (Original) 山口県出身の職場の方に、観光に行く予定であるお話をして、山口県で食べるべきグルメを伺った際、開口一番にかめやさんを紹介いただいたのでこれは逃せない！ということで 土曜日10:30過ぎの営業開始直後に 580円の1番おすすめのたこそば焼小をテイクアウトしました。 おばあさん、おじいさん、若い男性、おじさんと幅広い年齢の皆様で切り盛りされ、地元に愛される味を守られている印象を受けました。 たこ焼き6個と焼きそば(たこ焼きの下にもぎっしり入ってます)で非常にボリュー厶あり、1人で大満足、2人でも十分という印象です。 たこ焼きは底が平らな形状でモチヤワな食感、焼きそばは太麺ずっしりでこってりソースとからしマヨがもったり絡む間違いないお味でした。 下関駅での朝ごはんや、車内でのスナックで楽しめるのではないでしょうか😋 とても美味しかったです！

The fried udon and yakisoba noodles were a little on the dry side, a texture I personally love. And the "special mustard mayonnaise" on the takoyaki was delicious! It's a flavor you'll want not just with rice, but also as a snack. What's more, if you pour it over the yakisoba or yakisoba noodles, they instantly become a perfect side dish for a set meal with white rice. The punchy flavor was so satisfying, I still felt like I could eat another plate even after finishing. However, since the portions were quite generous, they did fill me up after a while, so even though it was delicious, be careful not to overeat. lol Overall, it was a restaurant I'd love to have nearby. That's probably why it's loved and referred to as Shimonoseki residents' soul food. I'm so jealous. I'd definitely like to stop by again if I visit Shimonoseki again.

My first time, search by google, rated 4.3 having dinner tonight without booking, unfortunately it is full, we are very disappointed. Finally we can as special arrangement made by a manager I guess, it is great!! We have tried 2 sets and medium size of raw squib. Food is above standard, service is intensive & environment (besides the bridge) is attractive, price is really affordable. Really, it is my first time to be here, and surely not the last time, will come back again

This is a stylish and moderately upscale restaurant. I walked in alone and was shown into a very large private room. At first I felt awkward visiting such a nice restaurant alone but it was no problem. You could easily order single dishes for as little as ¥1500 (yakisoba, sashimi, etc.) and set meals start around ¥2500-3000. I ordered a set, fugu sashimi, and a drink for around ¥5000-6000. Overall, not too pricey for the location and quality. The views of the Kanmon Strait are very excellent. I particularly liked the kawara soba. Fugu sashimi was an interesting experience but I would not seek it out again. If you order it, it comes with a spicy garnish and dipping sauce. Shimonoseki is the most famous place in Japan for fugu, so you should try it while you are here.

We had a unique dining experience here at akama. It's a romantic place to have dinner, located along the Kanmom straits. Unique for me since it is our first time to try their delectable fugu dishes.

So authentic and delicious!!! Such a wonderful view and by a number of touristy/historical quick visits. Such an enjoyable meal and experience.

Food: I wouldn’t know since everything we wanted was sold out. Made a reservation but nothing to eat Service: staff clearly didn’t know what is in stock and have to constantly check Atmosphere: seems nice but we didn’t stay long enough to enjoy as no food left

Ordered kawara-soba and fugu shumai, super good! Also the view was very beautiful.

Amazing location, private rooms to enjoy a meal alone or with friends, and the food is fresh and delicious. Foreigner friendly.

Quaint little store run by elderly couple. Prices were reasonable and everything was fresh and tasty. We went on a weekday at a random time but it was pretty busy. Good stopover break from driving.

Dropped by on the way to the inari shrine. Great food. I had the uni don, and grilled wagyu.

(Translated by Google) After reading the reviews on Google Maps, I drove 2 hours yesterday (April 1st, R7) and went to eat the sea urchin bowl. We arrived about 20 minutes earlier than the restaurant's opening time of 10:30. While I was waiting in my car until business hours, a local person drove up, opened the door, and entered the store. Then my wife said, ``Huh? It's already open for business. Apparently there was also a souvenir shop, and I asked them to wait while looking at the souvenirs inside, so the two of us wandered around the store. On the way, a clerk came over and said that the meal would start at 10:30, which I had read online, so I said yes and went to look around at the souvenirs and menus. Then, around 10:25, the cafeteria was about to open, so I went to the table to sit down and wait, but the waitress from earlier came over and told me that I wasn't allowed to come in until 10:30, but she said that was fine, and made me some tea and took my order. I ordered two servings of sea urchin rice bowl and one serving of squid sashimi. Well, I had a stumbling start due to this, but I went ahead and had the sea urchin bowl. As for the taste of the sea urchin bowl, the sea urchin was fresh and not bad, but I felt that the flavor and sweetness of the sea urchin was a little lacking. However, considering the price, the taste is more than enough. Looking at reviews on Google, there are various reviews, such as the sea urchin at conveyor belt sushi being so delicious that it's still better, but after I got home and looked it up online, I found out that the season for landing sea urchin in Yamaguchi Prefecture is June to July for Bafun sea urchin, June to August for red sea urchin, and March to April for purple sea urchin. Naturally, sea urchin also has its own season, so if you want to eat the sweet sea urchin, you should come between June and August. The reason for the mixed reviews is not the restaurant's fault, but I think it's because they ate it when it was in season. Next time, I would like to try the Akauni season. (Original) グーグルマップの口コミを見て、昨日（R7.4月1日）車を2時間跳ばして、ウニ丼を食べに行ってきました。 着いたのは食堂の開店時間10時30分より20分ほど早めでした。営業時間まで車内で待機していたところ、地元の方が車で来られてスタスタとドアを開けて店内に入っていきました。 すると家内が、あれ？もう営業してるんやね。お土産屋さんもしているみたいだし、店内で土産物をみながら待とうよと言うので二人で店内をウロウロ。途中店員さんがやって来て、食事は10時半からですと仰っていましたが、それはネットで見て知っていたので、“はい”と返事して土産物やメニューなどをを見て回りました。 そして10時25分になったころ、もう間もなく食堂の営業開始だし席に着いて待たせてもらおうとテーブルに着くと先程の店員さんがやって来て、10時30分までは店内に入ってきちゃあダメなんですよねと仰られながら、もう良いですけど、とお茶を入れてくれ注文を聞いてくれました。 注文したのは、ウニづくし丼二人前と単品のイカ刺し一人前です。 まあ、こんなことで出足は躓きましたが、取敢えずウニ丼を頂きました。 ウニ丼のお味はというと、ウニは新鮮で美味しくないわけでは無いのですが、ウニの風味や甘さがやや欠けているかなといった感じでした。しかしお値段を考えると充分すぎる美味しさです。グーグルの口コミを見ると、すごく美味しかったから回転寿司のウニの方がまだマシだとか評価は様々ですが、帰宅してからネットで調べてみたら、山口県でのウニの水揚げ時期は、バフンウニは６月～７月、アカウニは６月～８月、ムラサキウニは３月～４月だそうです。 ウニにも当然旬がありますから、甘みの強いアカウニを食べたければ６月～８月に来なければなりません。 口コミの評価が様々なのも、お店のせいではなくて、旬のころに食べたかどうかで評価が分かれてるんじゃないかなと思いました。 次は是非、アカウニのシーズンにチャレンジしたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) According to the reviews, people were divided into those who said the sea urchin bowl was delicious and those who said it was bad, but the result was "untasty." It looks black and I can see some grains that aren't clearly defined, which gives me a bad feeling. When you eat it, it has a bitter taste and a slight odor, but no sweetness. Is there a hit or miss? ? I had a seafood bowl for ¥1,800, so I was spared a little damage, but I felt sorry for it because it was a sea urchin bowl. My impressions of the seafood bowl were that the rice had lumps and the sashimi had a slight smell, which was not good. Well, I guess it's worth the price. It's a shame because I had high hopes for the word "fish shop". (Original) クチコミで、ウニ丼を美味しいと言う人と、不味いと言う人に分けれてましたが、結果は「不味い」でした。 見た目が黒っぽくて、粒がはっきりしてないところが見受けられ、嫌な予感。食べてみると、苦味と若干の臭みがあり、甘さは無しです。当たり外れが有るのでしょうか？？ 私は海鮮丼¥1,800だったので少しの被害ですみましたが、ツレはウニ丼だったので可哀想。 海鮮丼の感想として、ご飯は塊があるし、刺身にほんのり臭みはあるし、イマイチでした。まあ、価格相当なのかな。 魚屋の…という言葉に期待してただけに残念。

(Translated by Google) My family and I stopped by for lunch. Before going, I looked up whether they serve seafood, but there was a sign in front of the restaurant that said, "Today's Sashimi Set Meals Sold Out." Thinking, Oh well, I wrote my name on the waiting board and decided to wait. We were the third group waiting, but we were shown to a seat after about 10 minutes. While looking at the menu, I took a sip of the water they served and was shocked by how bad it smelled. Feeling a little uneasy about the bad taste of the water, I ordered my food. When the food came, I took a bite and was shocked, "It's bad!" The horse mackerel fries in my horse mackerel fried set meal were semi-raw. I can tell they're frozen horse mackerel fries, but raw is just too much. Trying to resist the unpleasant taste, telling myself, "It can't be helped, it can't be helped," I took a sip of the soup and thought, "It's bad!" While it's understandable that the water might taste bad, this was the first time I'd ever experienced soup that tasted so bad. The only thing that was tasty was the takana pickles, which suited my taste and was delicious. While I was enduring the terrible food, I was surprised to see that the group in front of me and the group before that were also ordering the sashimi set meal. The other dishes were also pretty poor, and the whole family agreed that we wouldn't be going back. The food was bad, but the toilet was even worse. You have to flush the toilet yourself. Since you have to hold the hose by hand to flush, it splashes everywhere and is quite dirty. It's been a while since I've been to a restaurant with such bad food and toilets. (Original) 昼食に家族で寄らせていただきました。 行く前に海鮮が食べれるのを調べて行ったら、店頭に「本日刺身定食売り切れ」の張り出し。 まっ仕方ないなと思いながら、順番待ちのボードに名前を書いて待つことにしました。 待ちが3組目でしたが、10分程で席に通されました。 メニューを見ながら出された水を一口飲んで「不味い」あまりの臭さにびっくりしました。 水の不味さに一抹の不安を感じながら料理を注文しました。 で、料理が出て来て一口食べたら「不味い！」 あじフライ定食のあじフライが半ナマ、冷凍食品のあじフライを揚げたのは分かるが、生はさすがにないな。 不味いのをこらえながら、仕方ない、仕方ないと言い聞かせながら、お吸い物を一口、「不味い！」水が不味いのは仕方ないにしても、ここまで不味いお吸い物は初めてでした。 唯一旨かったのが、香の物のたかな、この高菜は私の口に合って旨かったです。 不味い料理を我慢しながら食べていたら、前の組も、その前の組も刺身定食を食べいたのは不思議でした。 その他の料理もかなり低レベルで家族全員の総意が次はないなでした。 料理も酷かったですが、トイレがそれ以上。 トイレの水は自分で掛けて流すスタイル。手でホースを持って流すので周囲に飛び散ってかなり汚い。 料理やトイレがここまで酷い店は久しぶりでした。

(Translated by Google) 🍣 Matsunagaken [Toyoura Blue Line Branch] - A luxurious seafood lunch where the sea and flavors intersect 🚗🌊 🌿 🚗 This restaurant is located along the Toyoura coastline in Yamaguchi Prefecture, a road accessible only by car. I'd heard that the seafood was delivered directly from the fishing port...and it was huge! Combined with the drive, I was excited! 🌅✨ 🐟 Upon entering, I noticed a fresh fish section inside the restaurant, creating a truly appealing combination of roadside station and set meal restaurant. 💡 The sashimi set meal I ordered was chock-full of fresh seafood, with the flesh bouncing in my mouth. 😋💥 The fish wasn't just a side dish for lunch, but rather a main course, and it was incredibly satisfying. 🍽️👏 🍲 Then, the "Unizukushi Donburi" and "Seafood Donburi" came into view, and the people in line had expressions that said, "I'm here for this!"—a testament to their popularity. 🧡 The prices were relatively reasonable, and the satisfaction of "this quality at this price..." was all the more impressive. 💰✨ 🪑 The restaurant's atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between local warmth and a touristy vibe, with locals and tourists naturally mixing together. 🌍🤝 However, there are often wait times, so it's best to plan your visit with plenty of time. ⌛ 🌟 Overall Rating: ★4.5 / 5.0 🌟 If you're looking for a seafood set meal that combines freshness, quantity, and value, this is a solid choice. 🐟✨ It's definitely worth stopping by during your drive. We had a memorable experience, both in terms of the food and the food. 🛣️💫 (Original) 🍣 松永軒［豊浦ブルーライン店］ ― 海と味覚が交差する、贅沢すぎる“海鮮ランチタイム”🚗🌊 🌿 🚗 山口県・豊浦の海岸線沿い、車でしか行けない道を走ってたどり着いたこのお店。 “漁港直送の魚が…しかもボリュームもある！”という話を耳にしていたので、ドライブ感もあいまって期待満点でした🌅✨ 🐟 入店すると、店内には鮮魚の販売コーナーも併設されていて、“この道の駅×定食屋”のミックス感がとても魅力的💡 注文した刺身定食は、新鮮な魚介たっぷりで、口の中で身がプルっと跳ねるような感覚😋💥 「魚＝ランチのサイド」ではなく“主役”として堂々と存在していて、食べごたえも大満足🍽️👏 🍲 さらに“うにづくし丼”や“海鮮丼”も視界に入ってきて、並んでいる人の顔も「これ目当てです！」という表情で、人気の高さが伺えます🧡 価格帯も比較的リーズナブルで“この質でこの価格…”という満足感がひとしお💰✨ 🪑 店内の雰囲気は“ローカルの温かさ＋観光感”が絶妙なバランスで、地元の人も観光客も自然と混ざり合っていました🌍🤝 ただし、待ち時間が出ることもしばしばなので、時間に余裕を持って訪れるのがおすすめです⌛ 🌟 総合評価：★4.5 / 5.0 🌟 “鮮度”“量”“価格”――この三つが揃った海鮮定食スタイルを求めるなら、ここは確かな選択肢🐟✨ ドライブの途中に立ち寄る価値あり。思い出にも、味にも残るひとときを過ごせました🛣️💫

(Translated by Google) Not only is the sashimi delicious, but the fried foods like fried salmon, fried horse mackerel, and whale cutlet are also delicious! And it's reasonably priced. The chef is energetic, and so are the ladies. The location is great, overlooking the ocean. (Original) お刺身が美味しいのはもちろんですが、サーモンフライやアジフライ、鯨カツなどの揚げ物が美味しい！そしてリーズナブル。大将も元気。お母さん達も元気。 海を眺めながら、ロケーションも最高です。

Stopped by the Ringer Hut in Shimonoseki for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised. The food was consistent with the chain's usual standard—tasty, fresh, and served hot. Their champon was flavorful, packed with veggies and noodles, and the gyoza was crisp and juicy. Service was prompt and friendly, with staff making an effort despite the language barrier. The atmosphere, while clean and functional, felt a bit dated and lacked warmth. It's more of a quick-stop, no-frills setting, which is fine if you're just grabbing a casual meal but don’t expect much in terms of ambiance. Overall, great value and a solid option if you're in the area looking for a satisfying meal.

Delicious champon Nagasaki and gyoza at a fair price

(Translated by Google) Draft beer with gyoza🍺 Super delicious!! ️!! ️ The gyoza that I must have ordered in large quantities If you share it, it will disappear immediately💦 You can eat at least 10 pieces per person🔥🔥 A chain restaurant famous for Champon and Sara-udon.

(Translated by Google) Great when you're concerned about calories Champon low-carbohydrate noodles, It's chewy and delicious. You can now choose gyoza with or without garlic. I'm glad it happened. Above all, this store The customer service is amazing no matter when I visit. I feel good every time I eat ☺️ on the tablet installed on the table Now you can order Take-out as well as eat-in Now you can easily ask for it. The first time, I was a little confused about the operation, so I have nothing to say if you just look at that part.

(Translated by Google) In Yamaguchi Prefecture, there are Nagasaki Chanmen and Ringer Hut. The ringer hat is simpler. Nagasaki Chanmen originated in Sanyo Ono City in 1971. After opening Omelet Rice Tei in Dunhuang, affiliated companies merged and disappeared. Ringer Hut originated in Nagasaki City in 1974. Tonkatsu Hamakatsu. Nationwide chain. In the 1970s, two companies were doing business under the name Nagasaki Chanmen, although they were completely unrelated. I like both Hamakatsu and Ringer Hut because the vegetables and other ingredients are so good that you wouldn't think they are chain stores. The noodles are also chewier than the cheap noodles on the market. I would like to support Nagasaki Chanmen as it is authentic and uses a hot pot. The deficit of 5 billion in 2020 is the result of a struggle even before the impact of the coronavirus. It's something I want to support. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー “Hokkaido Corn Miso Champon” is on sale for a limited time! Karato store has the best customer service no matter when you come. Although it has a touch panel, the bright customer service remains the same. I love the selection of songs with piano in this cheerful, family-like atmosphere. You can enjoy your meal in peace. It is different from the food court. (Original) 山口県なら長崎ちゃんめんとリンガーハットがあります。リンガーハットの方があっさりしてます。71年、長崎ちゃんめんは山陽小野市の発祥。敦煌、オムライス亭展開後関係会社合併消滅。74年、リンガーハットは長崎市発祥。とんかつ浜勝。全国チェーン化。 70年代は全く関係ないのに長崎ちゃんめんという名前で２社が商売してました。 浜勝もリンガーハットもチェーン店と思えないほど野菜等の素材が良いので好きです。麺も市販の安い麺よりモチモチしてます。長崎ちゃんめんも鍋を使った本格的なので応援したいです。 2020年50億の赤字、コロナの影響前から苦戦してた結果です。 応援したい味です。 ーーーーーーーーーーーーーー 期間限定、〝北海道コーンみそちゃんぽん〟販売中！ いつ来ても接客が最高の唐戸店です。 タッチパネルになってましたが、それでも明るい感じの接客は変わりません。このファミリー的な明るい雰囲気にピアノが流れる選曲が大好きです。穏やかに食事を楽しめます。フードコートとは別物です。

(Translated by Google) I went there for the first time in a while. I ordered hard yakisoba and fried rice, but it was disappointing... The fried rice seemed to have been fried in oxidized oil (lard)? It was light and fluffy, but I wish they had paid more attention to it. I couldn't finish it. Even with the yakisoba, the vegetables were crunchy, but they didn't feel cooked through. They were too raw. I was hungry, so I ate it, but... I wish they would think about it a bit. (Original) 久々に行きました。かた焼きそばと焼き飯を注文、残念・・・ 焼き飯は、酸化したような油で炒めた感じ(ラード)かな?パラパラ感はあるものの、もう少し気を使って 欲しいです。完食　ムリでした 焼きそばにしても野菜はシャキシャキ感はあるものの、火の通ってない感　萌やし、生かいなぁみたいな 空腹だったので食べましたが••• ちょっと考えて欲しいです。
