    入場料はかかるが、展示室をみた後で、スタッフの人が屋外の塩田再現体験施設を逐一説明してくれた。時間は展示室を含め、1時間以上かかったが、塩田による製塩法、他の製塩法との違い、長州藩との関係等、とてもよく理解できた。本当は実際に体験できれば良いが、これだけでも十分だった。以前、広島の竹原の塩田の展示施設に寄ったことがあるが、写真と説明書きと当時の道具の展示だけで、よく分からなかった。再現施設を見なが...

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.
