Located a minute's walk from Mojiko Station, the Former Osaka Shosen Building in Kitakyushu is a beautifully restored structure dating back to 1912. This iconic building, with its distinctive octagonal tower and red brick facade, once served as the Osaka Shosen shipping company's branch office. Today, visitors can explore the architecture and visit the Watase Seizo Gallery inside (admission fee applies). The building offers a glimpse into Mojiko's prosperous past as a major trading port. Open from 9:00 to 17:00, it's a must-see for those interested in history and retro architecture.
