Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan

Yamaguchi Prefecture has historically played a crucial role as a key region in western Japan. During the late Edo period, it produced many influential figures who contributed to Japan’s modernization. Flanked by the calm Seto Inland Sea and the rugged Sea of Japan, Yamaguchi is blessed with an abundance of seafood, including the renowned fugu (pufferfish). The region is also home to a strong artisan culture, reflected in traditional crafts such as Hagi-yaki pottery and Ouchi lacquerware.
