    素晴らしい透明度を誇るビーチです。ホテルに滞在して、ゆったりビーチで寛ぐ。まさに「瀬戸内のハワイ」ですね。ちょうど水上バイクの大会が行われており、夏の終わりを締めくくるイベントの感じでにぎわっていました。

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.
