I recently had the pleasure of visiting Hagi, a captivating town nestled along the coast of Yamaguchi Prefecture. Stepping into Hagi felt like stepping back in time. The charming streets, lined with traditional white-walled houses, transported me to a bygone era. 0:00 Opening 0:19 Hagi Station 2:25 Hagi Reverberatory Furnace (World Heritage) 4:45 Ebisugahana Shipyard (World Heritage) 7:05 Shōkasonjuku Academy (World Heritage) 6:11 Hagi Castle Town (World Heritage) 31:37 Meirinkan 36:58 Roadside Station Hagi SeaMart One of the highlights of my trip was exploring the Hagi Castle Town. The well-preserved samurai residences and historic sites offer a glimpse into the lives of the samurai warriors who once ruled this region. I couldn't help but imagine the bustling activity that once filled these streets. A visit to the Shoin Shrine was a must. I was captivated by the serene atmosphere and the rich history associated with this place. It was inspiring to think about the young scholars who once gathered here, their minds ignited by the teachings of Yoshida Shoin at Shōkasonjuku Academy. I also had the opportunity to visit the Hagi Reflection Furnace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Learning about the industrial heritage of Hagi was fascinating. The furnace itself is a marvel of engineering, and I couldn't help but be impressed by the skill and craftsmanship of the people who built it. Beyond the historical sites, Hagi offers a delightful blend of natural beauty and local culture. I enjoyed strolling along the waterfront, taking in the fresh sea breeze and admiring the picturesque scenery. I also indulged in delicious local cuisine, including the freshest seafood and traditional Japanese sweets. Hagi is a town that captures the essence of Japan's past and present. It's a place where you can immerse yourself in history, appreciate natural beauty, and experience the warm hospitality of the local people. I highly recommend visiting Hagi to anyone seeking a truly unforgettable experience. 👀 Would like to have an original Japanese itinerary just for you? 🔍 Looking for an expert guide in Japan? findjapanguide.com/ #Hagi #Yamaguchi #Japan #travel #explore #visitjapan #japantravel #travelgram #HagiCastleTown #MatsuyamaShoinShrine #MeirinKan #HagiReflectionFurnace #EmisukabanaShipyard #HagiStation #道の駅萩しーまーと #UNESCOWorldHeritage #history #culture #nature #food #seafood #photography #travelblogger #japantrip #hiddengem #wanderlust
