Located at the western tip of Honshu, Yamaguchi Prefecture is a treasure trove of breathtaking views surrounded by the sea on three sides. Photogenic landscapes such as the Tsunoshima Bridge stretching across the clear blue sea, the Motonosumi Shrine with its 123 red torii gates, and the mysterious Akiyoshido limestone cave are drawing attention from all over the world. The prefecture is steeped in deep history and culture, including Yamaguchi City, which once flourished as the “Kyoto of the West,” and the castle town of Hagi, which strongly retains the atmosphere of the samurai era. Additionally, the gourmet food of Shimonoseki, famous as the production center of the high-end “fugu” (pufferfish), is not to be missed. It is a place where you can experience the essence of a trip to Japan, merging stories of the “ambition” that led to the dawn of modern Japan, dynamic nature, and sophisticated gastronomy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
