    Yamaguchi Pref. Hagishi Horiuchi 355
    A museum dedicated to Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, which prospered as a castle town in the ancient Choshu Domain and where many historic buildings from that time still stand. The museum was built to serve as the central facility of the Hagi Machiju Museum project, which aims to turn the entire neighborhood into a giant museum. The museum contains some 190 thousand items connected to Hagi, including historical materials and works of art. There’s a section of the museum which presents historic figures affiliated with Hagi, such as Takasugi Shinsaku and Yoshida Shoin, a gallery where visitors can come in contact with the culture and natural environment of Hagi, and more. Four times a year, the museum holds special exhibits.

    A nice museum about the area. If you dont speak Japanese you can still enjoy it quitte a bit. The staff was nice.

    岩国城ロープウェイ乗り場の前にある施設です。 岩国名物のシロヘビを展示しています。 こじんまりとした施設ですが、解説は多く、意外と見応えはあります。 入場料も安いのでとりあえず入ってみるといいと思います。

    A musueum located within the Shirakabe Townscape, a Nation's Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings. The museum occupies the former mansion of the Oda family, one of the leading oil merchants in west Japan. The house features Irimoya (hip-and-gable) roof with an entrance on gable side and white plaster walls. With a length of nearly 120-meters and covering an area of 800-tsubo (nearly 2650 square meters) this mansion is one of the largest classic townhouses remaining within the country. Within the mansion are a number of classic living implements and documents showing off the lifestyle of a prosperous Yanai merchant.

    Great experience and highly recommended. I went on a quiet late afternoon and was met by the lady running the museum and the son who is a long descendant of the owner of the building. They were both...

They also have events like Excavation Events, where you can try excavating bones and shell rings, and Shell Ring Making.

    ずっと、いつか行きたいと思っていました、やっと実現しました。 周りに人も車も少なく、定休日かと思いましたが、やってました。 大変、分かりやすく展示されており、小学生の娘も興味深く見学してました。 ビデオ上映や、ボタンを押して音声が流れるような説明のものが、多くありました。 レストランもありましたが、そこは少し微妙だったのでやめました。

    Yamaguchi Hofu-shi Kotobukicho 6-41
    This science hall in Hofu City, Yamaguchi Prefecture stands out for its exhibits focusing on the sun.

The second floor introduces the evolution of life and has regular science shows and other events.

    子供向けに科学に関する体験学習ができる常設展、個別のテーマについて特集する企画展、その他のイベントが行われていた。常設展は目新しいものはなく基本的なもので小学生向き、企画展は大人まで楽しめるものもあると思った。外にはパラボラ糸電話やロープウェー、簡単な遊具もあり、あっと言わせる斬新さはないが、企画展やイベントをうまく捉えればファミリーで来ても各世代でそれなりに楽しめそう。ドームは螺旋通路を登りなが...

    Yamaguchi Oshima-gun Suooshima Cho Kuka 1102-1
    """Machishu culture"" is the culture of the common people built up in the Kuka area, which was a part of the industrial structure from the middle ages to early modern period. The Yahata Lifelong Learning Village is a learning facility with a library, pottery museum and early Showa period farmhouse as a base for handing down the culture of the town. Visitors can learn about unique urban planning and culture through the exhibition of tools and daily necessities used by soy sauce brewers, ship builders, blacksmiths and others. In addition to regular pottery classes, the museum also offers one-day pottery workshops such as forming pottery by hand instead of using a potter's wheel, slab building, and making a pottery lathe."

    This museum has a very nice collection. It is worth seeing, but unfortunately, the descriptions is only written in japanese so you might want to ask your friends for translation.

    化石採掘をしたかったのですが、美祢市でディキノドンが発見され、しばらく閉鎖に。せっかくなのでこちらの見学をさせていただきました。何億年前の・・・とか、このあたりでヒョウやトラの化石が発掘・・・とか、普段考えることのない地球生誕の神秘の謎に意識がタイムスリップし、悠々たる時空間を漂っているような、とてもいい時間が過ごせました。次回は自分で採掘したいです。

Heading west along Japan’s largest island, Honshu, the very last prefecture you’ll reach is Yamaguchi, separated from Kyushu by a small strip of water known as the Kanmon Straits, which the far-reaching harbor city Shimonoseki looks over. With water at every turn, the seafood of Yamaguchi is an indisputable highlight, and we’re not talking just the usual fish dishes - the notorious fugu, or puffer fish, is a Japanese delicacy that was discovered in Yamaguchi prefecture, making it the best place to try it out.
