Yamaguchi

Bordered on three sides by the sea, Yamaguchi Prefecture has a coastline that stretches some 1,500 kilometers. The blue sea and sandy beaches, cliffs and oddly shaped rocks eroded by rough seas, and small islands welcome us in a relaxed atmosphere. Among Yamaguchi's many scenic spots, perhaps the most famous is Akiyoshidai, one of Japan's largest karst plateaus, and its underground Akiyoshido Cave. The five-storied Kintai Bridge spanning the clear Nishiki River and the five-story pagoda of Ruriko-ji Temple, a national treasure, are also must-see tourist attractions. Here you will find information on cave walking, marine sports, and mountain climbing that will allow you to fully enjoy its rich nature.
