    Yamaguchi Pref. Iwakunishi Yokoyama 3
    Kikkawa Hiroie, the first leader of the Iwakuni clan, constructed this castle on the summit of Mt. Yokoyama in 1608. However, due to the “one castle per province” order, it was dismantled a mere seven years later in 1615, and government affairs were carried out in a residence at the base of the mountain. The current castle tower was restored in 1962 based on illustrations and diagrams of the castle tower’s original construction, and offers unbroken views of the Seto Inland Sea area including Kikko Park, Kintaikyo Bridge, the city of Iwakuni and Miyajima. Visitors can also see the stone walls of the former castle tower which have been restored according to the stonework techniques of the time.

    Yamaguchi Pref. Yamaguchishi Kamiunorei Hong Roh Peak summit

    登り口として、山口大神宮から登る道と木戸神社の方から登る道があるようだが、自分は木戸神社の前の道を車でそのまま上り、木戸公園の駐車場（川のいちばん上流のほう）に車を止めて、そこから歩いて登った。歩きで登ったが、小型車であれば登れそうな舗装道路がいちばん下の城郭（今は放送局の送信設備がある）まで続いていた。ただ、車で登ると対向車が来た時に離合ポイントが少なく、片側が急斜面の細いクネクネ道を長い距離バ...

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.
