    Yamaguchi Yanai-shi Chuo

    JR柳井駅からまっすぐ麗都路通りが通りますが、その通り沿いに有りました。麗都路通は絵画や芸術品が並んでいることも有り、このオルゴールの館もぴったりな建物に感じます。ただ館内に入れるわけでは無く外に操作盤が有るようです。

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.
