People rarely mention the Kanmon Strait Museum when visiting Moji Port, so I didn't have high expectations at first, but it turned out to be surprisingly fun! First, the interactive experience machines are diverse. Upstairs, the large screen shows a historical animated series (super well-made!) and ocean-themed music animations every half hour. Different themed time slots correspond to different games. My favorite was the head-swapping game in the historical series 😂 I never got tired of just drawing characters! While the museum's collection isn't huge, it provides a good understanding of the area's history. Downstairs, there are also ocean-related interactive games, more geared towards family-friendly experiences. In short, I highly recommend it; an afternoon is definitely not enough to see everything! 😖
The driver drove safely and smoothly, and the itinerary was well-planned. The tour guide was attentive and meticulous, and highly professional. I give this tour a five-star rating and hope to have the opportunity to participate in similar short-distance tours in the future.
The itinerary was well-timed. Akiyoshido Cave was stunning. The bus exited at the elevated entrance and we walked down, which was much easier than the bus, which requires a climb from the lower exit. The scenery also got better and better. The bridge and torii gate, combined with the good weather, made for great photos! Ishi-san was very helpful, attentive, and professional, which made the trip a truly enjoyable one.
