《English》

Wakato ferry (Wakamatsu Port to Tobata Port) is one of the municipal ferry operated by Kitakyushu City. It is a route connecting Wakamatsu Ward and Tobata Ward separated by Dokai Bay.
Wakamatsu has flourished as a shipping port for annual rice and coal since the middle of the Edo period. During the Meiji era, it became one of Japan's leading coal accumulation areas, and Western-style office buildings lined up on the Wakamatsu south coast. Please enjoy the nostalgic buildings that remain around the cache.
