  • Hello everyone,
    In this video, I head as far south as I can go in mainland Japan to Yamaguchi prefecture. Yamaguchi is mostly a rural prefecture, its beautiful sprawling natural landscapes are some of the most scenic in all of Japan. Along the Western coast is Japan's most picturesque shrine, Motonosumi Shrine, Japan's largest and longest limestone cave and plateau are spread across the midlands, and on the Eastern edge of Yamaguchi is a unique bridge known to be the best spot for cherry blossom viewing.
    Come follow me as I uncover all of Yamaguchi's best-kept secrets.

    I am Korean but my girlfriend is Japanese living in Yamaguchi. There aren't many foreigners traveling in Yamaguchi, but it's new from the perspective of foreigners in the West. You're good at making videos, too! Thank you!

      That's awesome! I've lived in Japan for while so I want to explore new place. Yamaguchi was very beautiful. I think more tourists should visit here. I'm happy that you enjoyed watching my video

    I used to live in Yamaguchi when my dad (not really my dad but I grew up with him as my father figure) was stationed in Iwakuni during his time as a marine. I got to see the Kintaikyo Bridge which me and my mom still have this one beautiful photo of it. Japan as a whole might just be one of the most beautiful places I've been to. I lived in Japan from 2013 to 2014, which the reason why we left had a huge impact on me for the rest of my life. If I could go back I would, but my mother no longer wants to leave the US and we had our passports stolen. Not to insult my own country, but I feel like the joy I felt and the beauty I saw could never be replicated by the United States.
