Join me as I walk from the Riverwalk Mall to Kokura Station. On my way I also pass through a Japanese shopping street where you can see the types of stores and markets that are available in Japan. The Riverwalk Mall has many great restaurants, a Japanese arcade, great views of Kokura Castle, and much more.

Near Kokura Station, there are many good places to eat as well. Without knowing I accidently walked through the Japanese night life / adult area around the station. This area is also filled with many pachinko parlors.

Riverwalk Kitakyushu is a highly functional cultural, artistic, informational and commercial complex surrounded by lush greenery and historical sites (such as Katsuyama Park, Kokura Castle and the Murasaki River, just to name a few). The complex presents a conglomerate of colorful and unique buildings.

Aside from its commercial facilities, the complex features a full-scale theater (“Kitakyushu Performing Arts Center”) as well as NHK’s Kitakyushu Broadcast Station (which offers a tour) and Asahi Shimbun newspaper’s office.

Thanks to its wonderful location, visitors can enjoy a sense of openness combined with the natural setting provided by Katsuyama Park and the Murasaki River. The open-air cafe where visitors can relax while viewing riverside and park scenery as well as the plaza with its abundance of natural light offer fun places to get together!

JR Kokura Station is the main station in Kitakyushu serving the Kagoshima Main Line, Sanyō Shinkansen, Nippō Main Line, Hitahikosan Line, and Kitakyushu Monorail.

Inside this large station you'll spot all the usual elements of a well-equipped, massive JR commuter station: convenience stores, coin lockers, restaurants, cafés, a tourism office and the huge shopping complex, Amu Plaza. In the center of the station you will find an illuminated electronic touch screen board that provides information about the area.

JR Kokura Station stands out for its energy efficient solar panels seen in the outer central area of the station. These panels work to operate both the elevators and escalators. Kokura is a highly energy-efficient city that stands out for its modernism and work towards becoming a sustainable urban city center.
