    It's an old castle town and has a lovely atmosphere. Behind the ruins of the castle is a hill which is not a difficult climb and has ruins at the top and a nice view. There are temples, nice restaurants, a nice beach and small old samurai area to explore.
    I spent a gorgeous weekend here.

    The main picture above was taken in this gorge and to date (obviously after NZ of course!) it is the most beautiful place I have ever seen.
    There is a couple of hour walk through the gorge which leads you along the river. We came across this gorge on our way from Tsuwano in Shimane Ken down to Yamaguchi city along route 9.

    Akiyoshi limestone cave. (Akiyoshido)
    It's a big cave with some cool staligtites and other rocky things. Way more natural than many others I have seen in parts of Japan however still has the loud speakers and condrete path running through and at times probably tour guides with microphones! But if you hit a quiet day like we did it will be a good experience!

    If you are near the town of Hofu then this garden which I can't as yet remember the name of, is beautiful. It's relaxing has grass (flat and green!) and ponds and is big compared to most Japanese gardens. The other tourist places in Hofu are temples which I would say take it or leave it. If you have the time it is a nice place to explore. The city itself was fairly big and ugly but we were only there for a very short time so my impresesion could be wrong.

    St. Xaviers Catholic Church in Yamaguchi city.
    If you have an interest in or are religious then attend a mass at St. Xaviers. The inside is beautiful with white walls and bright coloured stain glass windows. The church is only a few years old. The mass was conducted mainly by singing and the voices of the regular congregation were beautiful to listen to even if you couldn't read the Japanese and sing along.
    Theres a small museum under the church and outside of mass times you can look inside the church. On Sunday morning when I went the mass time was 9:30am.

    THese dinosaurs along with a view over all of Hagi can be seen if you take the ropeway up the side of the hill to a look out point. There are 2 onsens on the way up, one for men one for women or you can go straight to the top in a gondola full of people wearing bathrobes and just see the view and play with the dinosaurs.

    The cemetary at the back of the temple is lovely. We went just before closing and the setting sun and moss covered, treed cemetery with hundreds of stone lanterns had such a peaceful atmosphere.

    Yuda Onsen located in Yamaguchi-city, is said that was discovered when a white fox was seen bathing its wounds here during Muromachi Period (approximately 800 years ago).

    There are about 50 accommodations such as modern hotels and old style Ryokan in total along the Route 204.

    You can take an Onsen without staying an accommodation.
    This simple alkaline hot spring is said to help ease such ailments as rheumatism, neuralgia as well as dermatitis.
