Yamaguchi Hidden Gems

L'extrémité occidentale de Honshu, terre du fugu (poisson-globe) et berceau des révolutionnaires Meiji. Le pont Kintaikyo est un chef-d'œuvre d'ingénierie en bois, les 123 torii rouges du sanctuaire Motonosumi descendent le long d'une falaise maritime, et la grotte d'Akiyoshido est la plus grande du Japon.

10 spots

La pointe occidentale de Honshu : un pont de bois à cinq arches, un plateau calcaire et le port qui a fait du fugu un mets de choix.

Climat et meilleure saison

Tempéré et maritime, avec des étés chauds ; la neige est rare sur la côte. La saison du fugu va d'octobre à mars.
