Itinerary
Yamaguchi City Naikotei (Yamaguchi City Saikotei) is a sightseeing base in Yamaguchi, a city with a rich history, It was opened on October 2, 2004 as a sightseeing base for Yamaguchi City, which is rich in history, and as a place for citizen exchange. The building is a reconstruction of the Gion Sako-tei restaurant, which was widely popular from its establishment in 1877 until 1996. 29 flat plaques of famous people such as Kaoru Inoue and Eisaku Sato are on display, along with other related items.
This is the family temple of Ouchi Yoshitaka, which was rebuilt on the site of the Ouchi clan mansion. In autumn, visitors are welcomed by a tunnel of red maple trees lining both sides of the approach from the gate to the temple grounds.
Originally built as a villa in the Taisho era (1912-1926) and expanded in 1936 to become a ryokan (Japanese inn), the building has since been extended to its present form. The postwar addition was designed by Kaichiro Fuefuki, a famous Kyoto sukiya (tea-ceremony house) master, and is filled with sukiya techniques and a playful spirit. Experts have described it as “like a museum of wooden architecture.
