９：３０
The first destination is Nanzoin Temple, home to the huge reclining Buddha statue, which is 41m long, 11m high, and weighs 300 tons, making it one of the largest bronze statues in the world.

This area is lined with old Western-style buildings, including the former Mitsui Club, where Einstein stayed, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery. For lunch, Mojiko’s famous grilled curry(Yaki curry-焼きカレー) is recommended.

１５：３０

The highlight of the day is Mojiko Port and Shimonoseki, located across the Kanmon Strait. Please head to [Mekari Daini Observatory] on the Mojiko Port side. Unknown to most travelers, this observation deck, accessible only by car, is the best spot to view the Kanmon Bridge and the Kanmon Straits!

If you have time after checking in to the hotel, one option is to go to Mt. Sarakurayama Observatory. You can enjoy a wonderful night view overlooking Kitakyushu. However, please note that it is a little far away and takes 30 minutes from Mojiko by expressway.

９：００
The distance covered on this day is 190km, which is a bit of a long drive, so please use the expressway as much as possible.

１０：００
The first destination of the day is ”Akiyoshido Limestone Cave”. There aren’t many sightseeing spots up to this point, so please use the expressway (E2A).

At Akiyoshido, you have several walking options, but we recommend entering from the Kurotani Entrance and walking to the Akiyoshido Exit. There is a visitor center about 300 meters further from Akiyoshido Exit, so we recommend taking a taxi from the taxi stand next to it to return to the parking lot near Kurotani Entrance. Of course, if you want to go around the cave, you can walk back to the Kurotani Entrance.

１１：４０
Next, you will head to Chojagamori parking lot. This area is known as the Akiyoshidai Karst Plateau. Drive slowly and enjoy the scenery. We especially recommend the approximately 3km road from Akiyoshido to Chojagamori parking lot.

１２：４０
Next, you will head to “Roadside Station Senza Kitchen” located at the entrance of Omi Island. This is a large roadside station, and the Omi Island sightseeing boat departs from here. If you don’t have time, you can enjoy lunch here, but if you have time, we recommend lunch at the next Senjojiki Country Kitchen.

１３：４０
Next, enjoy lunch at ”Senjojiki Country Kitchen”. If the weather is nice, we recommend having lunch on the terrace while looking out at the Sea of Japan.

１４：３０

If you have time after checking in to the hotel, one option is to go to Mt. Sarakurayama Observatory. You can enjoy a wonderful night view overlooking Kitakyushu. However, please note that it is a little far away and takes 30min from Shimonoseki by expressway.

８：００
You can have breakfast at the hotel, but we recommend having it at Karato Market. Some restaurants in the market open from 6 am.

８：１０
The first destination for the day is “Karato Market & Kamon Wharf”. Kamon Wharf, located next to the fish market named Karato Market, serves delicious dishes made with fresh fish. Especially recommended is the famous “Fugu (Pufferfish)” from Shimonoseki.

Next, you will head to Hiraodai, which is one of Japan’s most representative karst plateaus, with many scattered pieces of pure white limestone reminiscent of a flock of sheep playing in a grassy field, and has been designated as a natural monument along with underground limestone caves.

However, most of the stores in Yufuin and Beppu Hell close at 5:00 p.m., so if you are in a hurry, you can consider skipping Hiraodai.

１１：００

Next, you will head to Chicken House Nakatsu main store for early lunch which is one of the most well-known Karaage restaurant in Nakatsu city.

Nakatsu is the most famous town in Japan for its “Karaage (Japanese style fried chicken)”, and there is an episode about KFC, which twice expanded into the area but had to pull out due to lack of sales growth.

“The Sea of Cross”, a lookout point where the sea looks like a cross, is also close by and should be visited together.
