    Yamaguchi Pref. Iwakunishi Imadumachi 6-4-2
    "This is a shrine in Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. The deity worshipped at ""Itsukushima Shrine"", in Hiroshima Prefecture was relocated, and the shrine founded in a sacred festival in 2012. The ""white snake"" have been designated as a natural monument, and with their faith and protection many worshipers visit praying for luck with money and business prosperity. Visitors are able to find decorations and design elements based around white snakes."

    The Shirohebi Shrine is one of my favorites in Iwakuni. This shrine is newer, well kept up, and is home to several of the famous White Snakes. I have been here numerous times and its always fun to...

    Yamaguchi Iwakuni-shi Iwakuni 4-1-8

    山口県岩国市の高台にある神社。椎尾八幡宮は「しいのおはちまんぐう」と読みます。 少し境内に向う道が分かり辛かったですが、錦帯橋の手前の大明小路沿いから狭い路地に入り、いきなり凄い急な中道が目の前に立ちはだかります。 軽自動車のレンタカーを借りていたのでパワーが心配でしたが、何とか登りきり、坂の上に神社がありホッとしました。 岩国藩主吉川広正により建立されたとされ、なかなか立派な社殿でした。祭神は...

Yamaguchi Areas

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.
