Kanmon Strait Museum

The Kanmon Strait Museum in Moji, reopened after renovations in 2019, is designed to look like a ship leaving port and sits beside one of Japan's busiest waterways. The fourth-floor Promenade Deck lounge has floor-to-ceiling windows for watching container ships pass below. The atrium centers on a large curved projection screen showing four films about the strait's history. A spiral walkway connects touchscreen games, a submarine photography simulation, and panels that identify passing vessels in real time. The lower-floor Retro Lane reconstructs Moji Port street scenes from the 1890s to 1920s, with a moving streetcar, banana sellers, and a mix of bowler hats and traditional clothing.
