Enjoyed a wonderful morning of nature and history. Incredible rock/stone walls built in the 1600s. A hardscape landscapers monumental wonder. History shows the Mori family may have been the losers which makes one wonder what the winners got. Pottery shops along the way were the homes and workshops with kilns of the real artists. Lunch at the cafe with the gift shop was good and relaxing.
Quite good, watch out for mosquitoes during spring summer especially if you want to go up the mountain, there are a lot of spot for the sea, and the mountains, good place, there is also a smoking area in the middle
It's one of the 100 Fine Castles of Japan, and you can get a stamp at the entrance. The ruins are well-preserved and surrounded by lots of giant old trees. Inside there is also a small teahouse which seems to work only on weekdays. A quiet and peaceful place with almost no one around. You can enter for free if you have the Hagi Wonder Pass.
The restored redoubts and moat of ancient Hagi Castle. Some shops selling a wide selection of Hagi Yaki Pottery in front. A nice walk with a somewhat spooky inner sanctum shrine. Definitely worth a visit when in Hagi.
A nice, quite secluded place. Very few locals around. A bicycle-riding postman, some fishermen fishing from the stone jetty on the beach.
The streets and buildings seem frozen in time from the old feudal days. Most seem old and original.
A must-go-to town for lovers of old Japan.
The Hagi Castle ruins are just big rock walls. But pretty impressive even without the old castle.
Very accessible by highway bus from Shin Yamaguchi station.
