Yuda Onsen Kitsune no Ashiato

Information on Yuda Onsen sightseeing attractions and restaurants is available here. Inside the building are three distinctive foot baths you can soak in while you enjoy food and drink unique to Yamaguchi, such as local sake and uiro, available to order from the café.
Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media (YCAM)

This multipurpose cultural facility includes an exhibition space, drama theater, mini-theater, and the city’s central library. It hosts exhibitions of installation artwork by Japanese and foreign artists, performance art shows, sound events, workshops, movie screenings, and more.
Kaicho no Yado Aioso

This is the perfect location overlooking the Suonada waters, where you can see all the way across to Kyushu and Shikoku on a day with nice weather. It is a spectacular sight to gaze at the landscape or to watch the sun sink into the Suonada waters while you spend a relaxing time in an open-air onsen bath. Although it is a short distance uphill to Aioso, the slope is steep and difficult to ride. Along the way, you can look out at the islands rising from the Seto Inland Sea.
Aio Roadside Station

This rest stop is located at the site where Japanese tiger prawn cultivation first began. The restaurant inside offers some very popular dishes made from prawns. Of course, in addition to prawns, it offers a rich array of local farm produce as well as fresh fish and seafood from the Seto Inland Sea delivered by the fisheries coop each morning.
Yamaguchi Saikotei

Founded in 1877, Saikotei was frequented by the politicians and literati of Yamaguchi Prefecture. It closed its doors as a restaurant in 1996, and it was relocated and restored in 2004. The main attraction is the main hall (100 tatami mats in size) in which calligraphy by such politicians as Kido Takayoshi and Sato Eisaku is displayed.
Joei-ji Sesshutei

This garden is believed to have been built by the painter Sesshu on the orders of 29th Ouchi family head Ouchi Masahiro, some 500 years ago. It is surrounded on three sides—east, west, and north—by woods, with a waterfall on the northern edge and a pond in the middle. Garden rocks are arranged around its periphery. The garden is famous for looking just like a Sesshu landscape painting.

National treasure Ruriko-ji Temple’s Five-Storied Pagoda

Kusunoki Shikisai Ichi
This is a farmer’s market that sells vegetables harvested the same morning. Enjoy fresh, seasonal, natural produce throughout the year.
