A distinctive feature of Mojiko is the Kanmon Pedestrian Tunnel, a 780-meter-long undersea passage that allows pedestrians to walk beneath the Kanmon Strait, linking Kyushu and Honshu. The tunnel is free for pedestrians and takes approximately 15 minutes to cross. Bicycles and motorbikes can also use the tunnel for a small fee, but must be pushed through.
Another popular activity is the Kanmon Ferry, offering a brief, scenic 5-minute journey between Mojiko and Shimonoseki. This ferry ride provides breathtaking views of the Kanmon Bridge and the surrounding sea, making it a delightful way to cross the strait.

Surrounding the castle, the Kokura Castle Garden offers a tranquil retreat where guests can wander among seasonal flowers, manicured landscapes, and traditional features that reflect the elegance of Japanese garden design. Literature enthusiasts can also visit the Matsumoto Seicho Memorial Museum, which showcases the life and influential works of the esteemed Japanese novelist. For those wishing to enjoy the full experience, a combined pass covering Kokura Castle, the garden, and the memorial museum is available for 700 yen per person (self-funded). Please note that depending on capacity or weather conditions, some attractions may need to be skipped to ensure a smooth and comfortable visit.
