    Yamaguchi Pref. Hagishi Hiyakomachi 586-1
    The Hagi Uragami Museum is a museum in Hagi City that is dedicated to Ukiyo-e woodblock prints, East Asian ceramics and ceramic art. The Museum was opened in 1996 to house a collection of items donated by businessman Uragami Toshiro (who was born in Hagi); it was awarded two stars in the Michelin Green Guide. There is a tearoom where visitors can enjoy drinking green tea out of Hagi-ware teacups, which is popular as a place to relax while enjoying viewing art at the Museum.

    Nice place, nice staff. Be careful though, they say they show the whole collection of Hokusai prints, when in reality, its just one from time to time.

    Yamaguchi Hagi-shi Imauonotanamachi 47
    This art museum is inside a renovated earthen-walled warehouse style home once owned by the Kumaya family, who prospered as royal purveyors for the Hagi domain. Said to have been built in 1768, four structures comprising the main hall, a separate room, the main warehouse, and the treasury, are all nationally designated Important Cultural Properties. There are about 3,000 works of art on display from the collection gathered by the Kumaya family head, and among them is a piano donated by famed German doctor Siebold, who was friends with the fourth generation family head Goemon Yoshikazu. The British-made piano is the oldest remaining in Japan.

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.
