Recommendation Sightseeing Spots

Chomonkyo, one of Yamaguchi Prefecture’s most iconic valleys, is a nationally designated scenic spot. Here you can enjoy stunning scenery that includes waterfalls, ravines, maple leaves-viewing bridges that look as if they just came out of a Japanese painting. Chomonkyo can be enjoyed throughout the four seasons: in spring, when cherry blossoms, wisterias and magnolias are in full bloom, in summer, when the new leaves take on a beautiful green hue, in autumn, when the mountains are dyed red, and in winter, when you can enjoy magnificent snowy views. The roadside station near the entrance of the hiking trail is stocked full of local specialties and produce and offers tourist information about the area.
