This vlog is about my visit to the Kanmon Straits between Fukuoka and Yamaguchi Prefectures, and to the Yawata Steel Works and Fukuoka Castle in Fukuoka Prefecture.
The Kanmon Strait separates Honshu (Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture) and Kyushu (Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture). The straits have been an important shipping route from ancient times to the present day. In fact, I saw the Kanmon Straits for the first time in my life, and I was amazed at how powerful it was! This time, I crossed the Kanmon Straits on foot (through the Kanmon Tunnel). The tunnel had an eerie atmosphere.
After that, we enjoyed the Karato Market, the Sino-Japanese Peace Memorial Museum, and Akama Shrine in Yamaguchi Prefecture, and then took the Kanmon Liaison Boat to Fukuoka. The boat ride across the Kanmon Straits was awesome! It was fun!
After returning to Fukuoka Prefecture, we visited the Yawata Steel Works, which supported the development of modern Japan. We then moved to Hakata and visited Fukuoka Castle.
