Yamaguchi Prefecture connects Honshu and Kyushu.
Yamaguchi Prefecture is the westernmost prefecture of Honshu.
Shimonoseki City in Yamaguchi Prefecture and Kitakyushu City in Kyushu are a short train ride away.
Yamaguchi is home to Renofa Yamaguchi of the J-League, but there are no professional baseball or other sports teams in the prefecture, so if you want to watch a sports game in Yamaguchi, you will have more options if you combine it with Fukuoka or Hiroshima.
The history of the Choshu clan, which played a leading role in the Meiji Restoration, remains in the Hagi area.
There are many sights to see along the sightseeing route from Shimonoseki to Hagi and around Shimane, so please enjoy Yamaguchi Prefecture in all its variety.
