    Yamaguchi Pref. Yamaguchishi Kameyamachou 3-1
    Built on the site of the former Kameyama campus of the Faculty of Economics, Yamaguchi University, the Yamaguchi Prefectural Art Museum is a public art museum with a strong local flavor that is closely integrated with the local community. The Museum’s collections are oriented toward artists with a connection to Yamaguchi Prefecture; for example, they include works from Kazuki Yasuo’s “Siberia Series,” works by Kobayashi Wasaku, etc. The collections also include many outstanding Nihonga paintings (including the “Landscape Scroll After Kegong Gao,” which has been designated as an Important Cultural Property) and photographic works, etc. The Museum holds several exhibitions of works from its own collections and special exhibitions every year. The bright, cheerful cafe facing the central atrium is very popular with visitors.

    毛利家本邸玄関から入りますが、博物館はずっと奥になり料金も別になります。毛利家の資料を展示していますが、撮影は禁止です。博物館は投稿できませんので、そこまで進む毛利本邸宅内部を投稿しておきます。こちらも良いですよ。

    Yamaguchi Hofu-shi Kotobukicho 6-41
    This science hall in Hofu City, Yamaguchi Prefecture stands out for its exhibits focusing on the sun.

The second floor introduces the evolution of life and has regular science shows and other events.

    子供向けに科学に関する体験学習ができる常設展、個別のテーマについて特集する企画展、その他のイベントが行われていた。常設展は目新しいものはなく基本的なもので小学生向き、企画展は大人まで楽しめるものもあると思った。外にはパラボラ糸電話やロープウェー、簡単な遊具もあり、あっと言わせる斬新さはないが、企画展やイベントをうまく捉えればファミリーで来ても各世代でそれなりに楽しめそう。ドームは螺旋通路を登りなが...

    Yamaguchi Yamaguchi-shi Mizunouecho 5-27

    五重塔が有名な瑠璃光寺の西側に、洞春寺という古いお寺があります。その洞春寺の門のすぐとなりに、サイディングの外壁ののむら美術館がありました。 洞春寺の門がかなり歴史を重ねた古い建物なので、その対比が面白いですね。のむら美術館には、山口市内で酒造業営んでいた野村益治氏が収集した美術品が展示されているそうですが、私たちが訪れた2022年10月の日曜日はシャッターが閉じていて開いていませんでした。

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.
