    Yamaguchi Yanai-shi Yanai 3700-8
    A classic storehouse located within the Shirakabe Townscape, a row of houses featuring white plaster walls and latticed windows that is a registered Nation's Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings. This one-story wood building was built during the late Taisho period and within its white plastered walls you can try your hand at making Yanai's traditional Goldfish Paper Lanterns or weaving the Yanai stripe patterned fabric. The building holds a great sense of history and was in fact used as a soy sauce storehouse as late as 1985. The building was reborn as a complex tourist facility in 2001 as a gallery and hands-on workshop. Alongside the hands-on experiences they also hold a variety of exhibitions including photography contests and painting displays.

    地元の名産金魚造りなどが体験できるところです。写真撮影について年配のスタッフ(男)に聞いたら奥の女性を指さしてあちらに、その女性に聞いたら別の男性を指して・・、ただその男性は来客対応中でした。撮影の可否ぐらいスタッフで分からないものかなと感じます。張り紙ぐらいすればお手を煩わすことがないのですが。

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.
