  • Susa Hornfels
    Travel / Tourism
    Yamaguchi Hagi-shi Susa
    "This is a small bay on the Sea of Japan in Hagi. One of the main sights of the Kita-Nagato Kaigan Quasi-National Park, this area is also a national Place of Scenic Beauty and a registered Natural Monument. The interior of the bay features a quiet, spreading inlet, while outside there are towering cliff faces, for truly impressive scenery. This landscape was shaped by volcanic activity in the time of dinosaurs, and you can see ""byobu iwa"" screen rocks, the layers of earth that first piled on the Sea of Japan, and hornfels formed by the action of magma melting layers of gabbro rock, all of which you can see from a local fishing boat piloted by a working fisherman."

    The Myojin Pond is located on the east foot of Mt. Kasayama. It was created when a land bridge was formed by a sandbank between Mt. Kasayama and the mainland, and the body of water remaining after the split was filled and became Myojin Pond. It consists of three parts, “oike” (large pond), “nakano-ike” (middle pond) and the “okuno-ike” (inner pond), and as it is connected with the open sea through the gap between the mass of lava rock, you can see the tide as it rises and falls. The lake was called “Benten lake” as Benzaiten (the god of wealth) was enshrined on the northern side of the pond, and it was also called “the teahouse lake” as the feudal lord’s tea room was also built in this picturesque place.

  • Kikugahama Beach
    Travel / Tourism
    Yamaguchi Hagi-shi Horiuchi
    "This beach of white sand and green pines spreads through Kita-Nagato Kaigan Quasi-National Park. Named one of the Selection of best 100 beach of Japan, it stretches from the Hagi Castle ruins, past Hagi Bay, all the way to Hamasaki Commercial Docks. The pure white sand beach offers a view of not only Hagi Castle ruins, but also mountain and islands off the coast including Mt. Kasa, Ohshima, Aishima and more. The sea here is extraordinarily clear, and in summer it's a huge draw for beachgoers. The pine grove extends from Kikugahama Beach, and has long been a famous scenic spot, that was even described in Waka (Japanese poems) as ""Abu no Matsubara"" in the old days.. This is also a famous spot to watch the sun set."

Yamaguchi Areas

around-area-map

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.
