Wakato Bridge
Spanning Dokai Bay, Wakato Bridge is a large suspension bridge forming part of a general roadway with a total length of about 2 kilometers, including a 627-meter suspension span. Built as Japan’s first full-scale long suspension bridge, it opened in 1962. Its iconic red structure connects the Wakamatsu and Tobata districts of Kitakyushu and has become a symbol of the area. In 2022, it was designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan. The illuminated bridge at night is also recognized as a Japan Nightscape Heritage site.
I have to say, the sunset with this bridge looks just like a scene from a movie. Absolutely beautiful.

Abukuma Cave
The caves are characterized by the variety and number of stalactites that line the 600-meter length of the cave. There are many attractions in the caves, including the fantastic "Moon World," the first cave in Japan to have a dimming system for stage production, and the 13-meter-high "Ryuuguuden," a hall with a collection of unique stalactites.
Once you enter the cave, you'll be amazed by the huge stalactites and stalagmites, which form all sorts of unique shapes. The dim lighting inside adds a mysterious vibe to the whole experience.

Otaru Triangle Market
The Otaru Triangle Market, nestled between JR Otaru Station and National Route 5, is a small yet historic marketplace with origins dating back to the 1940s. It began with a few street vendors and developed as a morning market, accumulating over 60 years of history. Just a minute's walk from Otaru Station, the market is conveniently accessible and, except for New Year's Day, is open almost daily. Its reputation for affordable prices attracts a steady flow of both locals and tourists from Japan and abroad. The market's name derives from its triangular-shaped plot and roof.
You can try fresh Hokkaido seafood and local specialties here, and also find some unique gifts and souvenirs. It's a shopping experience you definitely shouldn't miss.
