Crossing the Kanmon Strait!
Taking the Kanmon Ferry
After soaking up the atmosphere of Mojiko, I took the Kanmon ferry across to Shimonoseki.
I was staying at a hotel in Shimonoseki that day. Soon after buying my ticket, it was already time to depart, so there was no unnecessary waiting around—but by the time I stepped out onto the second-floor deck, all the seats were already taken.
The boat rocked more than I had expected, and the sea spray reached us too, so standing on the deck made for quite a thrilling ride.
The stairs also felt a little scary to go down while everything was rocking, so I couldn't make my way to the lower floor during the crossing and ended up just standing on the deck the whole time, haha.
Setting Foot in Yamaguchi Prefecture
Before I knew it, we had arrived at the port in Shimonoseki. From the port, I took a local bus to my hotel.
On the Shimonoseki side too, there is a super high-rise building with an observation deck.
If I have time, I'd like to stop by later.
Next, I'll be checking into my hotel in Shimonoseki!
