the train station was rebuilt in a renaissance style building. It looks nice. starbucks and a nice restaurant with local dishes upstairs Ricksaw rides (4000 yen for 2 for 15 min around town. train museum and other historical places. nice view of the kamon canal where large ships pass by. 5 min ferry across the canal to Karato (fish marhet) on Shimonoseki side at 400 yen per adult. Train takes 15 min, so ferry is a better deal if staying near Karato or trying to visit it. In Mojiko the famous dish is the baked curry. Many variations on that. I like the restaurant near the ferry with rear view windows facing the water. You can see it if looking from the ferry landing port..
