Places to visit Some of the most famous places to visit include the following: * The 5-Story Pagoda - Built in 1442, the beautiful pagoda is one of Yamaguchi-ken's most beautiful and famous sights. It is especially rare because each story is the same width. If you have a chance, try to see it at night. The pagoda and the pond in front are illuminated and it is spectacular. The pagoda is a 5-minute walk from Kencho. * Sesshutei (Sesshu Garden) at Jyoeji Temple - This garden is located a few kilometers north-east of central Yamaguchi (don't walk) but definitely worth a visit. The garden is very beautiful and peaceful. You can sit on the tatami and look out into the garden, or take a walk along the path through the woods and bamboo grove. There is also a hike up to a tiny shrine but th

The garden is very beautiful and peaceful. You can sit on the tatami and look out into the garden, or take a walk along the path through the woods and bamboo grove. There is also a hike up to a tiny shrine but the view is not really worth the climb. * Sabieru (Francis Xavier Church) - Taking it's name from the Portuguese missionary who visited the city 450 years ago, this is one of the most ultramodern-looking churches you will see anywhere. It is no secret that locals prefer the older structure, which burned down mysteriously on its 40th anniversary. It also may be worth your time to walk to the park at the top of the hill surrounding the church. Sabieru is about a 10 minute walk from Yamaguchi Station. * Ichi-no Sakagawa - The name refers to a beautiful 1 km-long stretch of stream running through the city. It is lined with cherry trees and crossed with numerous foot bridges. The best time to visit would be late March when the trees are in full bloom and late May when the fireflies are dancing. Ichi no Sakagawa is about a 3 minute walk from Kencho. * Ryuzoji - This temple is a about a 30 minute uphill bike ride from Yamaguchi Station. Taking a car or taxi might be a good idea. You will find a beautiful Buddhist temple set in the woods with a small waterfall. There is also a huge statue of an evil-looking deity. A good time to visit would be during Obon (mid-August) when there is a festival with taiko drumming, food and more. * Furosato Densho Sogo Center - Make your own chopsticks! For about ￥1000 per pair they supply all of the materials! A great momento of Japan! * Chomonkyo Gorge - A beautiful hike about a 40 minute train ride from Yamaguchi Station. Stay away from here during the rainy season because you can quickly be caught in a flash flood and left stranded in the gorge - as a few JETs can attest to this.
