1Akiyoshidai
A natural great panorama is enjoyed fully! Karst plateau of the Japanese maximum level
"Akiyoshidai" in Mine-shi which is tourist attraction which represents Yamaguchi (A peak is done.) The view a white limestone exposes like "the group of the sheep" in the finite grassland looked around is striking.
A layer of the limestone out of which this topography called "Karst plateau" is formed is the coral reef which was before about 350,000,000 in a sea around the equator originally. It's carried by movement of oceanic plate and continental plate to Yoriko's place, millions of years, I call, and, I come to the present form by erosion of rain and groundwater. The great panorama from the observatory where you can get a bird's-eye view of the grand scenery is must-see.
It's wasteful only by a drive! Great outdoors in Akiyoshidai felt by the whole body
The exhilarating feeling by which special mention means putting is the best by the drive by "Karst load" which runs through Akiyoshidai. And the walk and the cycling which can enjoy nature fully by the whole body are also recommended. Then a prepared map of the esplanade is distributed in the plateau, and sightseeing base Property next to the observatory "Mine Akiyoshidai geopark center Karstar (Cal. star)" is also accepting rent-a-cycle.

2Shuhodo
An impression is inevitable in the mysterious view. The limestone cavern where nature bet and modeled millions of years
As much as more than 450 which was formed by erosion of rainwater and groundwater into subterranean part in the bed of a limestone where I compose "Akiyoshidai", big, small, various, limestone cavern exists. The total length distance also takes pride in the scale of the 2nd place of country beyond 10.7km in biggest "Shuhodo" at the inside.
The reach of about 40 m of the about 1 km of these and difference of ups and downs is generally opened as a sightseeing course, and modeled stalactite is appearing in the strange shape one after another along an underground water vein. The state surfaced in the illumination is artistic and mysterious. The temperature in cave is fixed with 17 ℃ through the year, and sightseeing can be enjoyed comfortably irrespective of a season.
A highlight continues in the cave. It's also attention in naming of stalactite.
One hundred dish" by which it's from an entrance about 300 m at the place I advanced is the popular spot with which I compete for one or two in the cave. The shape like Tanada on whom a pool of big and small is piled up by a flow of water, accumulation of a lime ingredient and a repeat of dryness was born. There is more than 500 for the number of the actual dish, and the view spread in immediateness is a word of highlights.
Only the naming by which other spots also arouse "Senjojiki" "gold pillar" "umbrella ZUKU SHI" "early summer rain palace" etc. and the interest by the shape of the stalactite and the manner which continues. When making it real in a hit of an eye, they can say, and it's fact guaranteeing you make growl at the strange natural molding beauty.

It has been completed in 2000 as Sumijima who appears on about 1.5 km of offing and Hashi who ties a mainland. When a refreshing marine drive as well as the interwoven beautiful scenery could be enjoyed fully, long bridge and sea of the full length 1,780m were here and were the popular spot which will represent Yamaguchi immediately.
The view spot for which the hill of "Ama KE park of rapids (AMAGASE)" and a neighborhood on the mainland side is ideal. When a sea is gentle and has complete set of the condition as the fine, the clarity around the bridge is more outstanding, and the more beautiful scenery as it is here, can be made a hit of an eye on a tourist brochure.
Before crossing a bridge in a superb view, it's a further superb view. A sunset view is also recommended.
When running to Tsunoshima for about 5 minutes by passage car, I come to the end in an island with "Tsunoshima lighthouse" and "park of a dream Saki wave (as in a dream destination)". Tsunoshima lighthouse of completion was designated as national important cultural property in 2020 for one in the 1st class lighthouse where only 5 points are in the whole country (in 1876) in 1876.

Surprisingly, it's installed in the Torii center around about 5 m from the ground, and when a wish is accomplished if it was possible to throw an offering excellently, it's famous. The person who visited for wish calling is challenging one after another, but the degree of difficulty is rather quite high because something small mixes an offertory chest, and is put. The divine favor is colorful with prosperity, schoolwork accomplishment, traffic safety, the good match and a child in a motonosumi shrine. I'll include a wish among a coin and try by all means.

7Hagi castle downtown
The taste which is just as it is in the Edo Period, everywhere, castle town of the world heritage left
Hagi-shi was a center of Choshu-han Mr. Mori ruled (the present Yamaguchi) from the Edo Period beginnings to Bakumatsu. A parcel in a maintained castle town forms a present-day city just as it is beginning at the Hagi castle, and the walk which is while seeing an old map of the at that time and a plan can also be enjoyed.
A building in at that time and a mud wall existed by many places and were also registered with World heritage in 2015 (2015). The spot which can trace the image of the person who played an active part to Bakumatsu such as a Samurai residence and a born place of Takasugi Shinsaku as well as a merchant and Katsura Kogoro (Kido Takayoshi) and Meiji restoration is also jam-packed.

Charm Hagi castle downtown doesn't stop at only history. The tour of caves is also one of how to enjoy oneself, and a store using an old house in the midst of the busy town and an old private house, a store with a vast Japanese garden and the store in the inside in a Samurai residence are original both. The happy hunting ground spot "Chinese citron soft ice cream" of "bush clover museum" would like also to hold besides the cafe is also plenty.
