The spacious, glass-walled Mojikō Retro Observation Room occupies the top floor of the 31-story Mojikō Retro High Mart skyscraper. It offers an expansive 270-degree view of the city and the maritime traffic of the Kanmon Strait below. Powerful digital telescopes, capable of up to 100-times magnification, can be used to spot landmarks on the opposite side of the strait. On clear days, it is possible to see directly across the strait to Karato Pier, Kanmon Wharf, and Akama Jingū Shrine. To their west are Shimonoseki Port and the island of Ganryūjima, where in 1612 an infamous duel took place between two famous swordsmen, Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojirō. To the north lie Dan no Ura Bay, Mt. Hinoyama, and Kanmon Bridge. The view includes several of Moji’s historic buildings, including the Former Moji Mitsui Club, the Former Osaka Shōsen Building, Mojikō Station, the Former Dalian Terminal Building, and the Former Kyushu Railway Head Office.
