[Fukuoka Tourism]

A must-see for sightseeing in Kitakyushu!

The symbol of Kokura ✨Kokura Castle✨

Lots of great events!

It's lit up at night✨

You can even go inside Kokura Castle♪

Just walking around Kokura Castle is fun, but the castle grounds are full of interesting spots, including a garden, Matsumoto Seicho Memorial Museum, Central Library, and Literature Museum✨

And next door is a shopping mall called Riverwalk Kitakyushu✨

And nearby is a mysterious object affectionately known as the "Macaroni Alien."

This is actually a work by graphic designer Shigeo Fukuda, and its official name is ✨Spirit of the Seven Stars of the Universe✨

It's a trick art piece designed so that the shadow of his head reflected on the sidewalk around the spring and autumn equinoxes will take the shape of the city's flower, a 🌻sunflower🌻! !

If you can see sunflowers, you're really lucky✨

When you're strolling around Kokura Castle, be sure to stop by♪
