    Yamaguchi ken Yamaguchi city Oguri
    Steam Locomotive Yamaguchi (Yamaguchi-go) is a steam locomotive that runs the 62.9 kilometer trip from Shin Yamaguchi Station to Tsuwano Station in about two hours. The sight of the powerful locomotive running with its whistle blowing and puffing smoke is impressive. The locomotive is elegant with the nickname “lady”, and each carriage has been tastefully decorated in Western and Taisho-styles. Reservations are required.

    Having been fascinated by the lure of steam locomotives since my childhood in the 1950s/1960s, I eagerly awaited the highlight of my short trip to Japan .... an excursion on the retro steam train...

    Yamaguchi Iwakuni-shi Nishikimachi Hirose 7873-9
    A sightseeing trolley that runs from Nishikicho Station in Hirose, Nishiki-cho, Iwakuni City to Fukagawa's Sozukyo Onsen in the same city. It operates on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, as well as during spring break and summer vacation. The train traverses an approximately six kilometer, 40-minute route along the Usa River where a railway was originally planned. It doesn't operate in winter. The natural scenery along the river includes seasonal flowers such as cluster amaryllis, rose of Sharon, and cherry blossoms that form a tunnel in spring. At the 1,796-meter Kirara Yume Tunnel you can take in the fantastic ornamentation done by local elementary and university students.

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.
