    Yamaguchi Hikari-shi Mitsui 110 Hikari Sports Park
    A famous spot for hydrangeas in the hills of Hikari Sports Park. There are about 15,000 plants of about 30 native and non-native species including Gaku hydrangea, Lorelei, and bigleaf hydrangea. They are usually in full bloom from early to late June when the slope is covered in a profusion of blooming hydrangeas. During the period it's lit up until 9 p.m., offering more mysterious scenery than during the day. An observatory at the top of the walkway's stairs lets you look down on the hydrangeas in bloom across the slope.

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.
