Kokura station and Kitakyushu Monorail
My final morning in Kyushu, I headed to Kokura station in Kitakyushu because I wanted experience the Monorail there.
I took the Subway from Tenjin station to Hakata station and jumped on the Shinkansen (it was about 16 min ride).
Kokura station looks huge from the outside. I then went inside and stored my luggage.
Once I figured out where to go (which was behind me as I was looking at the fare map), it was kinda cool to see!
Some monorails are in a different part of the joint stations, sometimes even a short distance walk. This monorail came inside in the concourse area.
I then went upstairs and jumped on!
After a short trip (I got of Tanga station to see the Tanga Market, which was close) and back, I explored Kokura station while waiting for the next Shinkansen to Okayama station.
