- Yamaguchi Pref. Iwakunishi Nishikimachiusa
- This 300-meter-tall gorge in Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture is one of the three largest gorges in Nishi-Chugoku Sanchi Quasi-National Park. The gorge splits into Inumodoshi Gorge and Ryugatake Gorge, with many waterfalls lining the Inumodoshi Gorge trail and strangely shaped rocks and grottos along Ryugatake Gorge. The gorge is also used for cultivating wasabi as well as drinking water because of its abundant springs. It was selected as one of Japan's 100 remarkable waters with a wide variety of flora and fauna.

- Yamaguchi Pref. Iwakunishi Futashika
- This waterfall is located along the Futashika River, a tributary of the Nishiki River, in Futashika, Iwakuni City. The gorge along the river has seven waterfalls including Umezu Falls, Ninotaki Falls, Hiryu Falls, and Kirikakure Falls, which are collectively referred to as the Futashika Falls. Legend has it that in Heian period a man known as Umezu Chujo Kiyokage, having been tasked with exterminating a two-headed deer that appeared on Kyoto's Mt. Hiei, tracked the beast to this area, where he finally destroyed it. Visitors can enjoy activities such as camping and walking the promenade that has been built in the area.

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.
