Miike Ko
After
navigating the open seas, Miike Port in Fukuoka, Japan offers a unique blend of industry and
natural beauty. The port bustles with coal transportation, a glimpse into Japan's industrial
heartland. But a short distance away lies the majestic Mt. Miike, perfect for a
scenic hike on your day off. Shopping options might be limited near the port
itself, but the nearby town of Omuta offers a variety of stores. Find local treasures at "Omuta
Shotengai" shopping arcade or grab replacement gear at the "Hikari Do" hardware
store. Craving a hearty meal? Head to "Yakisoba Takahashi" for
mouthwatering noodles or savor the local specialty, "Omuta Gyoza"
(pan-fried dumplings) at a restaurant like "Gyoza Stadium." Nightlife is
low-key, but you might find a hidden gem like "Izakaya
Watanabe," a cozy pub perfect for swapping stories with fellow sailors
over sake or Japanese beer.
