    Yamaguchi Pref. Yamaguchishi Kouzanchou In the park
    "Located a 20-minute drive from the Ogori Interchange on the Chugoku Expressway in Kayama Park, this is the cemetery for feudal lords of the Choshu domain. It was designated as a national historic site in 1981 along with the former Tenjuin Temple, Daishoin Temple and the Tokoji Temple Mouri family tomb in Hagi City. In addition to the 13th lord Takachika Mouri and his wife, seven tombs such as those for generations of the Mouri family, and a tomb of the mother of Hidenari Mouri, the first family head, still remain. The cobblestones in the foreground are called ""Nightingale Stone Paving "" due to the beautiful sounds made when you clap your hands on the stone pavement causing the reflecting sound on the stone steps."

    Yamaguchi Pref. Shimonosekishi Amidaijichou 4-1

    安徳天皇は、わずかに満6歳の時に壇ノ浦の戦いに敗れて、二位尼に抱かれ入水した崩御されました。その安徳天皇をお祀りしている赤間神宮のとなりに、こちらの御廟がありました。 色彩も派手で、多くの参拝客でにぎわっていた赤間神宮とは打って変わって、訪れていた人もほとんどいませんでした。石段の上に閉ざされた門があるだけで、それが一層、悲劇の物語を感じさせるものでした。

    萩を訪れた際、大照院の境内にある萩藩主毛利家の墓所にも立ち寄りました。鬱蒼とした緑深い森の中に、何百という石灯籠が並ぶ景観は独特で、一見の価値があります。

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.
