Shimonoseki Former British Consulate

Shimonoseki served as an important port since the early days as a gateway between the Honshu region and the rest of Asia. A British Consulate was hence built in Shimonoseki in 1906. At the Shimonoseki Former British Consulate, a beautiful building with striking red bricks, you can learn about the history of the British interactions with Japan and view various artifacts on display. The Shimonoseki Former British Consulate is located just 100 meters (109 yards) from Karato Market, so you definitely won’t have to worry about being hungry either.
