A beautiful historic building of the former Customs Office. It is free entrance and worth for a visit. However, there isn’t much information about the history of the Moji port or this building. It might be a missed opportunity of turning it into an interesting museum and better tourist attraction.
Beautiful historic building and art exhibition on the second floor. However disappointed to be told off for trying to Google translate a number of the pieces into English so we could understand the artist, and where each piece was from.
Attractive building, free to enter, displays inside. There is a pretty goofy display on Japanese customs inside, including lots of displays on how a variety of illicit goods might be smuggled into the country 🤔😂 It’s worth it to drop by, or at least to walk by the exterior.
The first floor has exhibitions on Moji Port's trading history and customs procedures. The second floor contains the restored customs chief's office and meeting rooms with period furnishings. Rotating exhibitions on local history are also displayed.
The building is located in the Mojiko Retro district, approximately a 5-minute walk from JR Mojiko Station on the Kagoshima Main Line. The station is accessible from major cities in Kyushu, and the waterfront location makes it easy to combine with visits to other historic buildings in the area.
No, admission to the Former Moji Customs is completely free. Visitors can explore both floors of the building, including the exhibition spaces and restored office rooms, without any charge.
The Mojiko Retro district contains several historic buildings within walking distance, including the Old Moji Mitsui Club, the restored Mojiko Station, and the Kyushu Railway History Museum.
