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.

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.

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!

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.

 Yamaguchi Prefecture is beautiful. The North especially makes it worth hiring a car and exploring. Scenery wise this is the most beautiful place in Japan I have seen so far.

Breath-taking nature at Yamaguchi

 I would consider Yamaguchi City as one of the inaka (countryside) areas in Japan. Since I have been to quite a few prefectures, nothing quite prepared me for the surprise I faced when I stepped out......
