Shoin Shrine in Hagi City

I had a chance to visit neighboring cities thanks to the generous offer from a Yamaguchi native!



There are two Shoin shrines (松陰神社) in Tokyo and Hagi city in Yamaguchi and I, of course, visited the latter one.

I think almost all Japanese can recognize him as one of the indispensable personnel in achieving Meiji Restoration (明治維新).



Probably due to his given name, Sho (松= pine) in (陰), lots of pine trees are planted there.

  1. 萩、津和野から出雲まで足を伸ばされた ご旅行だったのかしら?
    山口、島根、鳥取エリアの観光は、東西にかなり距離がありますね。
    私達は娘の希望で鳥取砂丘を行程に入れた為 三朝温泉に宿泊し
    萩、津和野はまたの機会となりました。 
    萩焼の窯場もあるようで落ち着いた町なのでしょう。
