Traveler highlights

Built in 1912, the Old Moji Customs House served as Moji Port’s customs office until 1927. Its restored red-brick exterior stands out among the historic buildings of the Moji Port Retro district. The first floor has a customs exhibition, visitor lounge, and café; upstairs are a gallery and an observation room overlooking the port. Damaged in an air raid, it was restored using old photographs and reopened with nearby Moji Port Retro buildings in 1995. Its exterior, tall entrance hall, and floor-by-floor uses tell the story of its change from customs office to cultural space.
