Yamaguchi Prefecture, located at the western tip of Japan’s main island Honshu, is known for its rich history, coastal beauty, and cultural significance. The capital, Yamaguchi City, was once called the “Kyoto of the West” for its refined culture and temples like Ruriko-ji with its five-story pagoda. Shimonoseki, a major port city, is famed for fresh seafood, especially fugu (blowfish). The prefecture boasts iconic sites like the Kintai Bridge in Iwakuni and the scenic Motonosumi Shrine overlooking the Sea of Japan. With quiet countryside, historic towns, and samurai heritage, Yamaguchi offers a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path experience in Japan.
