    Yamaguchi Yamaguchi-shi Ogorishimogo Yaashi
    "This is a reconstruction of the hermitage where Santoka Taneda, a wandering haiku poet, spent his time from 1932 to 1938 based on a plan drawn by Reireika Chikaki, who was a familiar visitor at the time. The name ""Gochuan"" was taken from words that appear in the Lotus Sutra. Along with the garden and a rest area with a buried earthen jar that makes sound when water drips into it, it is open to visitors free of charge in memory of Santoka. There are many sights to see, such as a monument with a poem written by Santoka's teacher Seisensui Ogiwara next to the building, an arbor, and a well used by Santoka."

    Yamaguchi Yamaguchi-shi Tenge 1-12-10
    These are the ruins of the former residence of the medieval master painter Sesshu. It is said that he lived here at the invitation of the Ouchi clan when he visited around the age of 40. In 1467, Sesshu came to China on a Japanese mission ship, learned painting techniques of coloring and breaking ink (a traditional technique of Chinese painting), and returned to Japan. He is said to have remained in Yamaguchi until his death, working on his art and training his students. The building fell into disrepair after the Meiji period (1868-1912), but it was restored in 1884 using old wood from an old shrine. It is now registered as a city-designated historic site.

    Yamaguchi Hofu-shi Kokuga
    The Kokuga was the name of the government office where government officials called Kokushi would perform their duties starting in the late 7th century. While many provincial offices were relocated or reduced due to the change and decline of the Ritsuryo system after the Heian period the Suo office came under control of Todaiji Temple starting in the Kamakura period and survived until the early modern period. The Suo Kokuga was presumed to have been the central government building of the local region and governed the entire provincial region, the port in the Hamanomiya area, and as far west as the Ohi embankment. It was the first government provincial office site in the country to have been designated a National Historic Site. The presumed located of the government office is now maintained as a park.

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.
