Located in the northwestern part of Shimonoseki City, this island floats in the emerald green sea. The "Tsunoshima Bridge," which continues straight toward the blue horizon, is famous as one of Japan's top driving spots, and its overwhelming beauty has been used in many commercials and movies. After crossing the bridge, you will find a landscape where the white sand "Cobalt Blue Beach" and the historic "Tsunoshima Lighthouse" made of granite harmonize beautifully. Walking along the coast while feeling the sea breeze, looking at the setting sun coloring the sea, or enjoying fresh seafood, you can spend a moving time that makes you feel as if you are at a tropical resort. It is a spectacular view spot that represents Yamaguchi and will surely remain in your heart once you visit.

Tsunoshima Bridge

This is a magnificent suspension bridge with a total length of 1,780 meters that stretches in a straight line through the emerald green sea.

Ichinomata Sakura Park

Ichinomata Cherry Blossom Park in the mountains of Shimonoseki City is a "hidden spectacular view spot" known for its fantastical landscape woven by submerged dead trees, clear water surfaces, and cherry blossoms blooming in spring.

Since it is still not very well-known, it's a perfect location for those who want to quietly face nature and enjoy photography. Away from the city hustle, you...

Higashi-ushirobata Terraced Rice Fields

Selected as one of the "Top 100 Terraced Rice Fields in Japan," this is a beautiful scenic spot representing Yamaguchi Prefecture. Against the backdrop of the blue Sea of Japan stretching below, numerous rice paddies overlapping along the mountain slopes draw geometric patterns. Especially from mid-May to June, when the paddies are filled with water, the sunset is breathtakingly beautiful. The setting sun reflects off the water surface, and at night, the "Isaribi" (fishing fires) of squid fishing boats light up offshore, creating a fantastical panorama where the lights of the sea and land melt together. Many photographers from around...
