Yamaguchi City
Yamaguchi City
City Overview
Yamaguchi City lies near the center of Yamaguchi Prefecture, offering a blend of lush nature and rich history.
During the Muromachi period (1336–1573), Hiroyo Ouchi made the city the stronghold of the Ouchi clan, laying the foundation for its development. Under Yoshihiro and Yoshitaka Ouchi, the clan became one of Western Japan’s most powerful feudal families.
In the late Edo period (1603–1868), the regional government moved from Hagi to Yamaguchi, placing the city at the center of the Meiji Restoration, which helped shape modern Japan. Yamaguchi’s charm lies in its historical sites and natural beauty, from Yuda Onsen, once visited by political reformers and cultural figures, to the calm Seto Inland Sea and peaceful forests.
Today, the city welcomes visitors with its unique mix of culture, history, and scenic landscapes.
