Shimonoseki Day Trip from Shin-Shimonoseki or Hiroshima

Ganryujima

Anyone with a background in martial arts or an interest in Japan is likely familiar with Miyamoto Musashi, renowned as the greatest swordsman in samurai lore. This uninhabited island spans approximately 103,000 m² and is situated in the Kanmon Strait.

Karato Market

Renowned for being a top market for pufferfish (fugu), as well as sea bream and yellowtail, this vibrant and bustling market offers visitors a taste of local fishing traditions.

Kanmon Pedestrian Tunnel

This distinctive two-tiered undersea tunnel extends 780 meters and links Honshu (Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi) with Kyushu (Moji, Fukuoka). Established in 1958, it forms part of National Route 2, providing a pathway for both pedestrians and cyclists to traverse beneath the Kanmon Strait.

Mojiko (Moji Port)

A wonderful spot for leisurely walks, photography, and immersing oneself in the history of early 20th-century Japan.
