    Yamaguchi Pref. Yamaguchishi Tenge 1-2-7
    "This is an historical building in Yamaguchi City. The building was traditionally known as a famous Japanese restaurant called ""Gion Saikotei"" in the Meiji period (1868–1912) and was frequented by Kaoru Inoue, Hirobumi Ito, Takayoshi Kido and Aritomo Yamagata. The building is now used as a place of culture exchange and to exhibit collections of people who were once connected to the restaurant. Visitors can rent and try on kimonos for a fee, there is a rickshaw service and rental bicycles etc."

    I found Saikotei while exploring nearby temples and first saw the lovely lawn and then the house. I was not sure if this was an attraction open to visitors, but sure enough it is! There is a small...

    Yamaguchi Yamaguchi-shi Takimachi 1-1
    This is the main gate of the Yamaguchi administration building, which was built when the clan office was moved from Hagi to Yamaguchi in 1864. A yakuimon (gate with gable roof constructed with two square or rectangular main posts and two square or circular secondary posts), about 6.8 meters high and 10 meters wide, stands in a part of the site of the present Yamaguchi Prefectural Office. It is surrounded by what were the latest Western-style castles from the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, and the moat that made up part of it still exists. Normally the side gate is open, but when the main gate is opened for historical events, it is possible to see the majestic figure of Mt. Konomine in front of the gate. In 1912, the new prefectural government building was completed and the main gate was built to the east, but it still serves as an entrance from the west.

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.
