    Yamaguchi Pref. Iwakunishi Iwakuni 1-2-3
    A long-standing Japanese restaurant said to have been established in 1858 standing at the foot of the Kintai Bridge in Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Situated in a location with an excellent view of the bridge, this popular restaurant becomes swamped with reservations particularly during the cherry blossom season. Hirasei serves highly seasonal gozen meals and kaiseki course cuisine with a focus on local dishes such as colorful Iwakuni sushi and ohira (vegetables in a clear broth). The restaurant’s courses made with seasonal limited ingredients such as ayu, matsutake mushrooms, and fugu.

    Exquisitely prepared Kaiseki fare almost too beautiful to eat. However, the bursts of flavors kept us eating through eat dish. The view of the Kintaikyo bridge and the bonfires reflected in the...

    Yamaguchi Pref. Iwakunishi Yokoyama
    The Iwakuni Castle Ropeway runs from in front of Kikko Park in Yokoyama, Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, up to the summit of Shiroyama at a height of about 200 meters. From the window of the 30-person gondola travelers can look out over the former castle town and streets of Iwakuni, Kintai Bridge, one of Japan’s three famous bridges, and the Seto Inland Sea. The journey time is about three minutes one way. Dogs and cats weighing less than 10 kilos can be taken in the gondolas provided they are in a pet cage. At the plaza outside the mountaintop station look out for the mechanical clock which plays music at regular intervals. There is also a play area for children and an observation deck. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the station at the top to Iwakuni Castle.

    別のところで買ったものを食べていたところ 前の椅子で食べていたら、自分たちのお店の椅子だから立って食べてくださいと言われた 他に座る場所も空いているし、歩き疲れてる人もいるだろうに心が狭すぎる お店と椅子の間隔もあるし、休憩所にしか見えない 別にそこの食べ物のレビューでもないし、今後買うつもりもない 最悪

Yamaguchi Areas

around-area-map

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.
