Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
下関市
Shimonoseki is a port city beside the Kanmon Strait. Begin around Karato Market and nearby historic stops. Moji across the water belongs to Kitakyushu and is separate from this city guide.
This guide covers places within Shimonoseki, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

02 · A LITTLE BITE
Pufferfish, locally called fuku, is associated with Shimonoseki. Fugujiru at Karato is one soup example. Check ingredients, availability and the market calendar rather than expecting it at every visit.
