    Yamaguchi Shunan-shi Yuno 4202-2

    元々は旧山陽道沿いにあり、2回移築されて現在地に建てられた江戸時代の武家屋敷らしい。入場は無料。玄関に入ったら、係の人が出てこられて、建物の構造の特徴等について概略の説明(詳細は質問応需)を受けることができた。各部屋には、昔の当主と与謝野鉄幹・晶子夫妻、楫取素彦夫妻との交流を示す書簡等、この地域や萩城下の古地図も展示されていて興味深かった。隠し部屋等もあるが、入れるわけではなかった。

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.
