    Yamaguchi Hagi-shi Sasanami 463-1

    遠路萩城に観光に行った際に利用したキャンプ場です。テントは持参していたがここはコテージを利用。キャンピングカーのような施設と六角形の赤いコテージのタイプがあり。コテージは広いとは言えないが、家族4人(子どもは幼稚園)で寝るには問題なし。その形から子どもは内部で大はしゃぎ。車を横に止められるので荷物の持ち込みがしやすい。子どもが小さいときは何かと荷物が必要なので便利だと思います。

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.
