Kitakyushu is not only diverse but also bears a close resemblance to some of Britain's industrial cities. Just like in Britain, Kitakyushu was once a thriving industrial city and has now transitioned into a hub of innovation and culture.

Currency

While the pound sterling is the currency of Britain, yen is the currency in Japan. Ensure that you always keep small bills for various transactions like paying for parking or tolls.

Travel and Transport

Getting around Kitakyushu by car is an absolute pleasure due to well-maintained roads and highway systems. Here’s what you need to know:

Driving Side

Contrary to the UK, people drive on the left-hand side of the road in Japan, which suits Brits perfectly.

Speed Limits

Typically, the speed limit in city areas is 40 km/h, climbing to 50 km/h on urban expressways. On motorways, it's 70-80 km/h. Stay vigilant for signs indicating the limit as it does vary.

Parking

Coin parking lots are the go-to solution in Kitakyushu. Always have some coins at hand to pay for parking.

  • Mojiko Retro District: The charm of the old port district will transport you back in time with its classic architecture and scenic views.

  • Kokusai Street: The city's main commercial street where you can shop for souvenirs.

Car Rental Recommendations

For larger families or groups, a minivan or a station wagon type vehicle would be best. Solo travellers or couples may prefer a compact car for manoeuvring and parking ease, with an automatic transmission.
