Kokura, located in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, is a district brimming with history, culture, and hidden gems waiting to be discovered. The adventure begins at Yahata Station in Kitakyushu, where the traditional experience of buying a cash ticket and receiving a physical receipt adds a nostalgic charm to the journey. Japan’s advanced ticket gates offer a seamless entry, and with a variety of trains available, the ride is smooth and efficient as it passes stations like Space World, Edamitsu, and Tobata.
Upon arrival at the grand Kokura Station, the adventure continues with a walk across Tokiwabashi Bridge, a beautiful wooden bridge that leads directly to Kokura Central Shopping District. This bustling area offers a mix of Japanese souvenirs, local foods, and drinks, making it a great place to explore. As you stroll through the district, keep an eye out for the monument commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Ino Survey, a historic feat in Japan’s mapping history.
Crossing the serene Murasaki River, the journey leads to the majestic Kokura Castle. This iconic landmark in Fukuoka Prefecture features a Tenshukaku (main keep), a key element of traditional Japanese castles.

The shrine is surrounded by beautiful lampions (chōchin) made from paper and bamboo, adding to the traditional Japanese aesthetic. For a perfect photo opportunity, the samurai statue and old cannon in front of the shrine are not to be missed.
Katsuyama Park, a peaceful green space near the castle, provides a welcome respite. The park, surrounded by towering trees and equipped with benches for resting, is the ideal spot to take a break while soaking in the tranquil atmosphere.
