Yamaguchi Sightseeing Taxi

According to an article by Mr. Craig Mod in The New York Times, Yamaguchi is often referred to as the "Kyoto of the West," but in reality, it is a much more intriguing place. It is described as a location untouched by "over-tourism" and is a compact city of approximately 190,000 people surrounded by the Seto Inland Sea and the Sea of Japan within Yamaguchi Prefecture.

Mr. Craig Mod introduces Yamaguchi City as follows:

A flawless garden (Kozan Park) and the renowned national treasure "Ruriko-ji Five-storied Pagoda." The pottery kiln "Mizu-no-ue Kiln" at Tohun-ji Temple. Chic and traditional cafes like "LOGCOFFEE ROASTERS," "COFFEEBOY," and "Haraguchi Coffee." Restaurants where you can enjoy oden and other dishes at the counter. And if you walk 15 minutes, you'll find the hot spring town of "Yuda Onsen." Additionally, he introduces the annual "Yamaguchi Gion Festival" held around July 20.

In the Muromachi period, the 24th generation, Hironari Ouchi, developed Yamaguchi as the "Kyoto of the West" following the model of Kyoto. The recognition of Ouchi Hironari's contributions to the city's development, along with the historical traces, culture, and delicious food passed down for over 600 years, being acknowledged by foreign media across the sea, is a wonderful occurrence.
