Birthplace of Yamagata Arima
This is the birthplace of Yamagata Aritomo, an important figure from Hagi in the Meiji Restoration and eventual prime minister of Japan. He was educated at the Shokasonjuku Academy under Yoshida Shoin, and later served an active role in the Choshu domain. After the restoration, he served a central role in the Meiji government as one of the Choro, elder statesmen from the Choshu domain, until his death in 1922. A three meter high monument stands on the bank of the Hashimoto river in the spot where he was born in 1838.
