Japan · Yamaguchi
A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
山口市
Yamaguchi City offers an old pagoda, gardens and Yuda Onsen. Choose Kozan Park or the hot-spring neighborhood first; Shin-Yamaguchi Station needs a separate connection via the JR Yamaguchi Line or buses.
This guide covers places within Yamaguchi, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
