Shipping to Moji and Kitakyushu
Moji is the historic port district of Kitakyushu, at the northern tip of Kyushu facing Shimonoseki across the narrow Kanmon Strait. Kitakyushu is an industrial city known for steel and manufacturing, and the port handles much of northern Kyushu's industrial cargo.
Choose Moji for consignees in Kitakyushu and eastern Fukuoka Prefecture; for the city of Fukuoka itself, Hakata is closer. The Mojiko Retro area near the port is a popular tourist district, so allow for traffic when collecting.
Practical tips. Kitakyushu has a lower cost of living than Fukuoka, and many international workers in the steel, chemical and robotics industries live here. Companies such as Yaskawa and TOTO are based in the city, so commercial shipments of equipment and samples are common. For personal effects, keep the unaccompanied-articles declaration from your arrival and register your address at the ward office.
