Ohayou Gozaimasu, the traditional Japanese greeting for “good morning”, marks the beginning of a peaceful journey in Kitakyushu, located in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. As the sun rises gently over Mount Sarakura, fog sometimes rests at its base, creating an almost cinematic atmosphere that introduces the calm rhythm of the day.
Unlike Japan’s megacities, Kitakyushu offers a slower pace filled with structure, culture, and subtle beauty. Mornings here feel intentional. From the moment the city awakens, everything seems to operate in harmony—from the order of public transportation to the soft light reflecting off neutral-toned buildings in shades of brown and cream.
Walking through these clean, pedestrian-friendly streets reveals a world where small details carry deep meaning. Food stores display colorful flags with Japanese writing, showcasing daily specials and prices. Vending machines are on almost every block, offering cold drinks, warm tea, and even ready-to-eat meals, all available with a few coins or a touch of a button.
Ordering meals is an experience of its own. Touchscreen payment systems accept paper bills and coins, with multilingual options for ease. Local dishes like crispy tempura, grilled fish, juicy tori, and fresh salad can be found easily, often complemented with a bottle of Ocha tea or Japan’s famous Craft Boss Latte, available at Daiso and 39 Drug Store.
Throughout the walk, public telephones stand quietly—symbols of a time when connectivity looked different, yet still respected. Coin laundromats operate efficiently across the city, giving a sense of practicality and self-service that defines much of Japan’s daily life.
At zebra crossings, there are buttons to activate the crosswalk signal. Each press reinforces the country’s culture of safety and respect. Trash bins are rare, yet the streets remain spotless, a reflection of collective discipline and pride in public space.
Even when the weather shifts and unexpected rain arrives, the city remains prepared. Carrying a compact umbrella is part of the everyday travel habit in Japan. The mist, the wet pavement, and the quiet chatter from local coffee shops create a layered ambiance that invites reflection.
Kitakyushu is also a hub of renewable energy implementation. Many facilities and transport systems are powered by sustainable sources. From LED lighting to efficient buses, the commitment to environmentally conscious living is visible.
Mount Sarakura serves as both a physical and cultural backdrop. Its presence reminds visitors of nature’s role in urban life here. The mountain is a quiet guardian over the city, often shrouded in clouds during early hours, giving a mystical tone to the start of the day.
Everywhere you look, signs of national pride emerge—including the face of baseball icon Shohei Ohtani, who appears in advertisements on vending machines, drinks, and public spaces. His image connects people to a shared sense of cultural identity, admired not just for sportsmanship but also for representing Japanese excellence abroad.
As the day unfolds, finding a cozy coffee shop becomes a natural step. Local cafés offer warm settings where visitors can enjoy jazz music, quiet views, and a cup of crafted Japanese coffee. It’s a fitting way to conclude a morning filled with soft wonder, subtle discoveries, and a strong sense of place.
This travel vlog invites viewers to experience Japan not only through destinations but through the overlooked details that make it one of the most beloved countries to explore. Mornings in Kitakyushu are not rushed or loud—they’re composed, balanced, and full of life in the smallest moments.
