Yamaguchi

Tucked into an inland basin in western Honshu, Yamaguchi is a place whose character is shaped by the Fushino River and wooded hills. The city was an important seat of the Ōuchi clan during the 15th and 16th centuries, when it became a regional centre for trade and culture. Ruriko-ji’s five-storey pagoda, completed in 1442, is a National Treasure and a defining monument of the Muromachi period. Temple grounds and quieter central streets give Yamaguchi a markedly different rhythm from Japan’s coastal metropolises.
