In this article, I explore the charms of Yamaguchi Prefecture.
Top 3 Tourist Attractions in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
Yamaguchi city
Yamaguchi City was ranked third, following Paris, in The New York Times’ “52 Places to Go in 2024.”
Under the headline “Avoid the Crowds and Savor Temples and Cuisine,” the National Treasure Rurikoji Temple Five-Story Pagoda, Yuda Onsen, alleys with pottery workshops, and cafes are listed as attractions.
The Five-Story Pagoda at Rurikoji Temple is designated as a National Treasure of Japan and stands as one of the iconic landmarks representing Yamaguchi City. Built in 1442 during the Muromachi period, this pagoda is renowned for its architectural elegance, historical significance, and serene beauty. Unfortunately, it is currently under construction, but I hope you will visit it someday.
Yuda Onsen is a hot spring resort with a history of over 800 years, known as a place frequented by many literary figures and artists. Soaking in hot springs makes your skin smoother and provides an excellent relaxation effect. Hot spring towns offer many accommodations where you can enjoy hot springs in open-air baths or large communal baths. Additionally, there are many other attractions, such as cafes. Enjoy a relaxing trip that rejuvenates both your body and mind with the hot springs and beautiful scenery.
Shimonoseki city
Shimonoseki City is especially known for its seafood. Fugu (pufferfish) is famous, so be sure to try it when you visit.
The Tsunoshima Bridge is 1,780 meters long and harmonizes with the surrounding nature, offering a magnificent and beautiful view. The sight of the bridge against the clear blue sea is truly breathtaking.
At Karato Market, you can enjoy fresh seafood. You can find all kinds of fish, including sashimi and seafood bowls. Right next to the market is the sea, and enjoying fresh meals while gazing at the ocean will make them taste even more delicious.
Iwakuni city
Kintai Bridge is made up of five wooden arches, and its graceful curves harmonize with the seasonal landscapes. The clear stream of the Nishiki River and the surrounding nature, as seen from the bridge, offer different kinds of beauty in each season. The construction and restoration of the bridge require the skilled craftsmanship of artisans, who employ advanced techniques from the selection of the timber to the assembly.
