Hagi Onsenkyo (Yamaguchi)
-
- This area was designated the Hagi Onsenkyo hot spring village after the drilling of the Hagi Onsen hot spring in 2004; today, there are eight differing springs in the area, hot spring hotels, and day trip bathhouses. Hagi is known for having produced many of the great minds of the Meiji Restoration and was founded in 1604 by Mohri Terumoto with the building of Hagi Castle. For approximately 260 years, until the center of domain governance was moved to Yamaguchi, the area prospered as a castle town, and even today much of the atmospheric old townscape from this time still remains intact. The old castle town area sprawls around the outer moat of the site where Hagi Castle once stood as well as many mid- and lowers ranking samurai residences, and exploring the old streets is practically required of visitors to the city; the area is also dotted with sites and monuments relating to the tumultuous times of the Meiji Restoration. After a long walk in the city, a soothing hot spring bath is the ultimate pleasure.

Yuda Onsen
-
- According to local tales, an injured white was fox found cured in the waters of Yuda Onsen around the 12th century. From then on, Yuda Onsen has gained popularity for its healing alkaline water, and thus is home to a wide list of ryokans and hotels most of which offer guests the chance to relax in these legendary waters. Although it is a little off the beaten path, we highly recommend at least a one-night stopover at Yuda Onsen during a tour of Yamaguchi Prefecture. Where to stay Where to stay Yuda Onsen is technically part of Yamaguchi City and it is a good idea to use it as a base for exploring the sites around this area. But before heading out you’ll need to find a place to stay and for that we recommend Kamefuku Hotel. Offering a blend of Japanese and western-style accommodation, this classic hotel is located right in the centre of the onsen town, and through its Yume No Yu onsen facility, you’ll get a chance to try out 12 different types of hot springs baths, all decorated with various colorful characters including the famous white fox or the turtle from which the hotel takes its name. If you’re not a seasoned onsen visitor, a private bath can be reserved and shared for you and your family members. Visiting Yuda’s onsen Visiting Yuda’s onsen Beyond the hotel, exploring this town is mainly about onsen experiences, especially its foot onsens. One place that cannot be missed is the tourist centre and foot bath also known as Kitsune no Ashiato, or the Fox’s Footprint. At this cool looking building visitors can, for a small fee, try out three different foot baths of which the highlight is at the center of the complex replicating a rocky stream surrounded by nature. Whichever foot bath you decide on, the experience is best enjoyed when accompanied by a coffee or better yet one of the local sakes. Nakahara Chuya Memorial Museum Nakahara Chuya Memorial Museum For those looking to add a stint of culture to their visit in Yuda Onsen, right across from the Kitsune no Ashiato is the Nakahara Chuya Memorial Museum and one of the most stylish buildings in town. The museum pays tribute to Nakahara Chuya, a Showa Era poet who gained fame for his work Goat Songs and has recently inspired a character in the anime Bungo Stray Dogs. If you’re curious to learn more about this local legend or simply appreciate some beautiful architecture, this museum is well worth the visit. Nakahara Chuya Memorial Museum Inoue Park Inoue Park Not far from the memorial museum is Inoue Park. Built in memory of Kaoru Inoue, Japan’s first Minister of Foreign Affairs and another local hero, the park is great for a morning stroll under the sun. At the southern end of the park visitors can enter inside a replica building dedicated to Meiji Era statesman Sanetomi Sanjo and view the gardens from the comfort of a tatami room without time constraints. Free foot baths Free foot baths At the northern edge of Inoue Park, an outdoor foot baths awaits passersby for a quick dip and relaxation session under the sun all in the company of yet another fox sculpture. The foot bath onsen is free and accessible from 10am to 10pm. If you can’t get enough of Yuda’s foot baths, there are two more of these baths not far from Inoue Park. Of these, one is located right outside the Yuda Onsen Tourist Information Center where travelers can also get assistance finding a last-minute hotel room. Once you are all onsened out, hop on the local train and head to Yamaguchi City for a round of sightseeing not far down the road. ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

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.
