Sanyo-Onoda City is a city that stimulates intellectual curiosity, where "industrial heritage" and "glass art" that supported Japan's modernization live on. Historical buildings like the "Tokuri-gama," Japan's oldest bottle-shaped cement kiln, remain to tell the story of the passion for craftsmanship at that time. In recent years, it has become known as a city of glass crafts, where you can touch world-class glass art primarily at the "Kirara Glass Future Hall." On the coast, there is "Yakeno Coast," selected as one of the "Top 100 Sunsets in Japan," where you can enjoy a resort atmosphere with meals against a backdrop of a sea dyed in orange. It's an attractive city where industrial strength, calm coastal nature, and delicate art culture coexist uniquely in Yamaguchi Prefecture.

Onoda Cement Tokkuri-gama Kiln

Built in 1883 (Meiji 16), this is the only remaining "bottle-shaped" cement firing kiln in Japan. It is designated as a National Important Cultural Property and is a precious remain that tells the story of the dawn of the cement industry that supported Japan's modern architecture. As its name suggest, the red brick kiln with a unique shape like a "tokkuri" (sake bottle) is the crystallization of the wisdom of the artisans at that time who repeatedly tried and erred while learning Western technology. The heavy texture of the bricks and the unique form are extremely attractive to architecture fans...

Motoyama Cape Kuguri-iwa

Located at Motoyama Cape at the southern tip of Yamaguchi Prefecture, "Kuguri-iwa" is a natural work of art created over many years by the erosion of the Seto Inland Sea's waves, which carved large holes through the rock. At low tide, you can pass through the holes in the rock, and the blue sea and sky seen from there are as beautiful as a painting contained within a natural frame. At dusk, the sunlight of the setting sun dyes the rock face red, creating an even more mysterious atmosphere. It is also a geologically valuable spot, a hidden gem where...

Kirara Glass Future Hall (Experience)

Located along the coast of Sanyo-Onoda City, this facility allows you to enjoy world-class glass artist exhibitions and authentic glassmaking experiences. Under the guidance of professional artisans, even beginners can easily feel like an artist with "glass blowing experiences," making your own unique glass from red-hot molten glass, or "sandblasting," engraving delicate patterns. From the building, you can overlook the beautiful sea of the Seto Inland Sea, and the light-filled interior is truly a glass art space. Since you can learn Japan's advanced manufacturing culture directly as an "experience," it is ideal for making travel memories. You can spend a...
