Checkpoint tunnel humanity

The undersea tunnel which can be crossed on foot from Shimonoseki to the Moji harbor

There is a tunnel for pedestrians who can cross the bottom of the sea in Kanmon-kaikyo on foot in the checkpoint tunnel where Shimonoseki-shi, Yamaguchi and Kitakyushu-shi, Fukuoka are tied. It's also possible to cross this unusual tunnel in about only 15 minutes on foot by about 780 m of full length worldwide. A bicycle and a motorbike can be passed, but it's necessary to push it and walk in the tunnel.
Material about a checkpoint tunnel is also exhibited, and many travelers visit history in Kanmon-kaikyo as the spot which can be sensed.

Valuable Experience which strides over a border between prefectures.

When I come down to underground by an elevator, a tunnel following about 60 m of sea level bottom is spread, and you can take a walk through quiet submarine space. Valuable Experience which says there is a border between prefectures of Yamaguchi and Fukuoka around the center of the tunnel, and that Honshuu and Kyushu are straddled on foot. To take a picture of a commemorative photograph here would also be fun because a border between prefectures exposure is also installed.
When a commemorative stamp is established, puts both commemorative stamps and brings it to the presentation location of the designation in an elevator hall in each of Shimonoseki side and Moji side, you can have "checkpoint TOPPA! commemoration certificate".

When I'm walking by a season, I sweat because the humidity isn't also well ventilated highly in the tunnel. When the handkerchief to wipe up a drink and sweat is brought, I'm relieved.

Panel door market

The "kitchen in" Shimonoseki where marine products in season with outstanding freshness can be tasted

Market marine products landed from a local fishing port and marine products they were gathered from every region of the country such as Puffer Fish equal using location of Shimonoseki where you circled three sides in a sea. A body is tight for the seafood into which I grew at Kanmon-kaikyo of an intense current, and the height of the freshness is the feature.
Wholesale of for the businesses is a center on Monday-Thursday, but a general person can enter freely, too. There is also a store which sells a marine artifact of boiled fish paste and Yamaguchi's local product in the market, and it's also most suitable for purchase of a gift. The cafeteria to which a dish is offered and a sushi store using fresh marine products also equal the 2nd floor.

Weekends and holidays hold the eating and drinking event to which each store sells sushi.

The gourmet event to which each store offers hand-rolled sushi and fish deep fried food "I'm living, Umaseki district" is held in a weekend and a holiday. Trying out the food at various restaurants can be enjoyed casually. It's also recommended to have a meal slowly while looking at Kanmon-kaikyo because a wood deck and a lawn square are outside the market.
Many stores end business in the morning on weekdays. When the business hours of the store I'd like to visit beforehand are checked, a weekend and a holiday are relief because you can line up from the open front by a store.

The shrine where Mitsuru deifies the Emperor Antoku who demised by the successive generations emperor youngest person who accedes to an emperor by 1 year old and says only 8 years old by a war in Dannoura in 1185 (1185) as a deity. Because I have the deep relation in water for the Emperor Antoku who drowned himself at Dannoura, you assume that there are marine safety and divine favor of flood disaster avoidance, and attention is also attracted as a power spot.
It's vermilion-lacquered built with the Palace of the Dragon King and lights up characteristic "gate of water and sky" from sunset to 24:00 every day. The fantastic cityscape from which vermilion emerges in darkness charms the people who visit.

Castle town Chofu (butterfly bran)

The castle town full of history feelings from the Edo Period to Bakumatsu

The quiet streets where history breathes are spread in Choufu where it's in the location of about 20 minutes by bus from Shimonoseki Station. It's the samurai family town which became a base of the Chofu feudal clan which is shihan of Choshu-han after a war in Sekigahara, and a history lover such as "Chofu Mori house" and the "Kozan-ji" by which Takasugi Shinsaku takes up arms and is learned about as a place by rising to action to overthrow of the shogunate with traditional Japanese gardens is dotted with an intolerable spot.
When walking the "Furue path" where a mud wall in the Edo Period and a stone wall continue (It trembles and forms.), the image in at that time which prospers as a castle town can be felt, and the atmosphere as if I have time-travelled at all, can be tasted.

It's dotted with a fashionable cafe and an antique shop.

That duck and a carp streamer are free, there is "Chofu feudal clan samurai residence row house" near the swum platform tool river (DANGUGAWA). It's opened for free of charge as Waiting Room at present, and it's possible to peep at a living something of an advanced clansman in at that time through the make of the grid window of the company room.
A fashionable store of an old private house cafe and an antique shop is also besides the valuable history spot, and a shopping can also be enjoyed while doing town walk. There are also "Chofu sightseeing hall store" and a selection shop which have complete set of gift of Yamaguchi near the bus stop, so it's convenient to buy a gift and return to return.
