    Leisure / Hobbies
    Yamaguchi Hagi-shi Imauonotanamachi 47
    This art museum is inside a renovated earthen-walled warehouse style home once owned by the Kumaya family, who prospered as royal purveyors for the Hagi domain. Said to have been built in 1768, four structures comprising the main hall, a separate room, the main warehouse, and the treasury, are all nationally designated Important Cultural Properties. There are about 3,000 works of art on display from the collection gathered by the Kumaya family head, and among them is a piano donated by famed German doctor Siebold, who was friends with the fourth generation family head Goemon Yoshikazu. The British-made piano is the oldest remaining in Japan.

    Leisure / Hobbies
    Yamaguchi Hagi-shi Minamifuruhagimachi 11
    This square is located in Hagi Castle Town. It stands near the birthplace of Takasugi Shinsaku, a loyalist of the late Edo period, and features a bronze statue of his dignified figure with a topknot, wearing haori and hakama (Japanese male formal attire) with two swords in his sash, as he would have appeared in his twenties when he was studying at the Meirinkan domain school and Shokason-juku Academy. The statue stands 180 centimeters tall, and with the base is over three meters in the air, facing the direction of his birthplace and Hagi Castle. The square also holds trees such as Hagi's specialty summer oranges, as well as Shinsaku's beloved plum blossom trees. Since its construction in 2010, it has drawn growing crowds of history fans.

  • Hagi Christian Martyrs Memorial Park
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Yamaguchi Hagi-shi Horiuchi
    This memorial park is near the Hagi Castle ruins, and holds a monument to Christian martyrs built by French missionary Amatus Villion, as well as the graves of Christians from Urakami village in Nagasaki exiled to Hagi in 1868. This park is also a testament to the tragedy of the Gorota-ishi incident, which occurred during the building of Hagi Castle. Rumors that the Gorota-ishi (stones for the castle's bulwarks) were being stolen resulted in open conflict involving Kumagai Motonao and Amano Motonobu, and the construction of the stone walls was delayed by more than two months. Claiming that the trouble of overshoot was caused by Kumagai and Amano, Mori Terumoto, one of the Council of Five Elders appointed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, attacked them and slew all eleven members of their families. Rumors later spread that the two killed were hidden Christians, thus excusing their deaths.

    Yamaguchi Yamaguchi-shi Ajisu 509-50

    巨大なアリーナのドームが遠くから見えて印象的な施設。アリーナの一角にはこの公園ができるまでの沿革についての展示があった。各種スポーツ施設が集まり、広大なグリーンエリア、臨海の親水エリアがあった。広い駐車場もあった。ただ、スポーツ、イベント、散歩、デート等の目的がなければ、ただ広いだけ、と思ってしまったのが正直なところ。

    Yamaguchi Kudamatsu-shi Chuocho 21-3

    スーパー、公共のホール等が合体した複合施設。スーパーはややゴミゴミ感があって人口密度が高い感じ。その中に個性的な店は見かけた。ホールではそれなりのイベントや公演をやっていたが、チケットを事前購入する必要があるものもあり、当日の飛び込みでは難しいものもあるとみた。。駐車場は結構台数が多そうだが、道路に面した地上駐車場は工事中で使えなかった。

    遠くから見ると、オランダ風車が印象的な公園。風車の下では手回しオルガンが体験可能。風車のある山の上に登るのは骨が折れるが、麓の洋式公園でも、郷土美術館、プール、子供用遊具等がある。新南陽駅側から入る遊歩道は、道路の標識どおりに行くと、曹洞宗のお寺の参道・境内を一部通らなければならず、標識もなくなって、本当にこの道でいいのか、と不安になるが、お寺・お墓の間を抜けていけば、公園に着いた。でも、この公園...

    ときわ公園に併設された植物園です。 物心ついてから植物園に行くのは超久しぶりだったのですが、温度調節された展示室には日本には絶対に生えないような植物が所せましと並んでいます。 星の王子様にでてきたバオバブの木（ほっとくと星をダメにするやつ）やゴッホが描いた糸杉の実物が見れたのは感慨が深かったです。穏やかな時間を楽しめる人にはオススメです。

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.
