I visited in May 2024. The Five story pagoda is under renovation at the moment until 2026. Please check the website before making a trip because the pagoda is covered. But you can still go around and enjoy the rest of the temple. For complete experience in Yamaguchi visit link below https://youtu.be/WKbMB8WSpgY?feature=shared

A must visit tourist spot at Yamaguchi City. An Age old Temple standing as a sign of architectural beauty and legacy of brotherhood. You can enjoy it’s unique landscape in different seasons. At night there is a special light shows I personally recommend it to enjoy...

I hadnt seen a Pagoda in a while, so this hit the spot! There is beautifully clear water below, with Koi swimming around. I managed to get some nice pictures with flowers blooming in the foreground. You can also walk behind the Pagoda to get some unique shots from above.

Pagoda and temple is free to enter and very peaceful and scenic. There is a koi fish amd turtle pond. Also, a cemetery so please be quiet and respectful.

Go up around the Back! This is a beautiful pagoda that creates in its viewers a little bit of a Zen (or if you prefer, God's glory) experience. Why is this? Why do visitors say that it takes their breath away. My interpretation is that it looks like a lot of houses or temples stacked one on top of another. We are used to seeing the temple roof shape of each story of the pagoda. In the grounds of the temple there are similar roofs, of other similar temple structures but these are arranged horizontally with at most a slight vertical misalignment due to the temple structures and their roofs being built on a slope, which with the admixture of perspective, allows us to see when we view a temple complex or townscape a cascade of roofs stretching off into the distance. And so it is when we view this pagoda our brains attempt to interpret its form in the same familiar way, as smaller and smaller, more distant roofs, on the side of the mountain, but then, whammy, it is not perspective, it is not a slope, these roofs are stacked. And in that whattheblazes moment of reappraisal, our analytical mind is stumped, stopped and dumbfounded, and we are given a glimpse of that which a Zen scholar calls "the purity of experience" or perhaps, in Christian parlance, we see the light. In any event it is a very beautiful pagoda. It contains a library of books that no one reads. And those in the know can go up around the back to stand at eye level with the middle of the pagoda and look down upon the temple sharing the same grounds. Please see the photo. 案内すると感心してもらえますよ。

Pagoda is under construction until March 2026. Pictures of it are gorgeous and the park is absolutely beautiful.

The temple highlights the symbolic architecture of Japan and the surroundings gives a feel of tranquility.

Commemorating St Francis Xavier who brought Catholism to Asia, Japan, China, Malaysia n India.

Beautiful architecture. See the history of the oppressor getting oppress is refreshing.

So beautiful church

cool and quiet place

Awesome place 😊

(Translated by Google) Modern church architecture (contemporary architecture)!? It somehow reminds me of Le Corbusier's Ronchamp Chapel Old churches⛪️ are nice, but churches with a new atmosphere like this one💒 are nice too✨Good👍 They were practicing the pipe organ😄 The sound is very powerful and matches the cathedral. (Original) 教会の近代建築 (現代建築)！？ なんとなくル・コルビュジエのロンシャン礼拝堂ぽい雰囲気 古い教会⛪️もいいがこの様な新しい雰囲気の教会💒もいい✨Good👍 パイプオルガンの練習中だった😄 音もすごい迫力、聖堂にマッチしている。

(Translated by Google) Quite interesting is the Catholic church on the ground floor and on the upper floor there is a museum about the introduction of Catholicism in Japan by the Spanish Jesuit Francisco Xavier, a lot of material from the time and also about the persecution of Christianity and the lives of the Kakure Christians (Christians who practiced secretly because if they were caught or reported they were killed). (Original) Bastante interessante tem a igreja católica na parte térrea e na parte superior fica um museu sobre a introdução de catolicismos no Japão pelo jesuíta espanhol Francisco Xavier ,bastante material da época e também sobre a perseguição á cristianismo e vidas dos kakure cristian (cristão que praticavam secretamente porque se fossem pegos ou denunciados eram mortos).

One of the most beautiful place in Yamaguchi city considering serenity and greenery. Recommend visit in spring and autumn. The place has different outlooks in two different seasons. Although we have visited in spring I will try to visit again in autumn. This is a little far from Yamaguchi city considering bicycle path. However, after entering the temple we become overwhelmed seeing the surrounding beauty of the garden and adjacent area. There is a ticketing system. At first we collected two tickets for us. It is also possible to enjoy the nature of a Japanese traditional garden Inside the shrine house. They facilitate it for a comfortable sitting. A Japanese lady also helped us to capture our couple photo. We are very great full to her generosity and kindness. My wife has a photo with her too. It was a great trip for me and my spouse.

It was a calming place, my kids were very excited when they saw a monkey in the woods. Entrance fee is only 300¥

I enjoyed taking photos around the grounds, with the interior of the building next to the zen garden being my highlight. I also enjoyed walking around the garden.

Beautiful place: magnificent palace and garden, hidden in nature. We were lucky enough to witness the Sakamoto installation, and listening to the sounds he created from nature looking at the garden has been an almost transcendental experience...

Beautiful & historic place. This is no.2 precious sightseeing spot in Yamaguchi city. Here is Japanese garden version 2 in Japan compared with the first version in Kyoto but not so crowded. We can enjoy the peaceful and fresh pure atmosphere here.

Nice temple with a beautiful zen garden.

A very impressive Zen temple below the mountains on the edge of Yamaguchi city. The buildings are of unusual design and are in excellent condition. The compound incorporates several gardens. Those in front of the temple are of raked stones, while the garden behind is grass, moss, stones, and a large central pond. The temple and gardens have a tranquil atmosphere. Incidentally, the climb up to the Bishamondo behind the green garden isn't worth the effort.

Although the Pagoda is currently under construction until March of 2026, the surrounding grounds are beautiful. Rurikoji Temple is one of Yamaguchi’s most stunning and historically significant sites. Its five-story pagoda, built in 1442, is considered one of Japan’s most beautiful, rivaling those in Kyoto and Nara. Set within Kozan Park, the temple grounds are peaceful and well-maintained, offering a serene atmosphere perfect for reflection and photography. With the cherry blossoms blooming, it makes for great pictures. Unlike more crowded temples in major cities, Rurikoji offers a quieter and more intimate experience, making it a must-visit for history lovers, architecture enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a peaceful escape. If you’re in Yamaguchi, this temple is definitely worth a stop.

Lovely temples with a lot to take in. Very busy, but nowhere near Kyoto levels. The five storey pagoda is the main attraction. Go up close to see how beautifully built it is.

Unfortunately we did not see the temple as there were construction works, however we really enjoyed the park itself. It was very calming en peaceful, and I can only imagine how beautiful it must be to see the temple as well!

The five storied pagoda and grounds. Pagoda currently under renovation at the time of writing (November 2023), whilst the grounds and temple are still open. Quaint and peaceful, well maintained, and not too busy on a Saturday morning.

The place is very nice and have a historic value also. We have visited by riding by cycle. There is a recent renovation work going on in 5 storied Ruriko-ji temple. We became a little bit frustrated since it was not visible. Due to construction work a whole cover has been covering the entire temple. There were some ice cream shop near the park and gate also. But remember all shops closed sharply at 5:00 PM. Overall, this is a nice place to visit when you were at Yamaguchi City.

Very disappointed. After being featured by Newyork Times 52 places to visit in 2024, they have been maintaining the main attraction covering it up with walls... What the hell is Yamaguchi government thinking about when there is such a huge potential to attract tourists?? I hope someone takes an action immediately to uncover it and show it to the public or call out to the public that this is not the time to visit Yamaguchi.

A very beautiful and out of the world place. We visited this temple in March, and the cherry blossom season had just started. It was a lovely experience, which i will never forget. We took a bus from the Yamaguchi station to the temple. After visiting the temple, we walked down the river walk and reached the station. The walk too was very scenic, and it's an experience which will be treasured forever.

Kozan park at Hirai Area is nice place to roaming with family as well as some other social activities. It's very cozy and on the Bank of River. The park fully bloom with beautiful Sakura. There is a little public amenities here but you can enjoy nature. Parking is available. Public bath is limited in a area near the middle of the park.

The pagoda is so beautiful here. We learned more information on the Mori Clan. We've visited the graves in Hagi, so to know they extended here in Hofu as well was interesting. Kozan park is very peaceful. The kids enjoyed feeding the fish and the back drop of the pagoda was absolutely breath-taking. Seeing the green pay phone was such a hit with the children as well. We will be back to explore more of Hofu.

Peaceful, well kept grounds, home to the Ruriko-ji pagoda and temple.

Huge ancient wooden pagoda, said to be one of the three main ones in Japan. Beautiful and quiet area, walked over from yamaguchi station following the canal

This place was lovely and very quiet. Especially beautiful when there was a small festival at night. That was very beautiful!

Very nice,clean and peaceful place. Wewent there at night. The reflection of the pagoda from the water is breathtaking.

The place is incredible. The air is so pure and fresh. The scenery is great. The shrink is amazing. The pagoda is well architectural designed. If you come to Yamaguchi, I really really recommend you to put this place into the first list of your visit plan.

as a chuuya fan i enjoyed my experience here a lot. I saw a 5'3 ginger who is wearing a hat standing outside the building tho..

Amazing. Staff were incredibly nice, especially when I mentioned I was a writer. They were very friendly and warm, even letting me stay after I toured the museum since it was raining outside and giving me a map of other places related to Nakahara sensei. Very quiet, I felt a bit bad for my shoes squeaking from the rain, but everyone was polite and kind.

this place was really beautiful, from the trees naturally grown to the Surrounding buildings, although there was a very Short-tempered 5'3 ginger.. he was pretty loud and Kept shouting "dazai"... did he mean the writer? i dont know.. but overall its a 10 from me. loved this place.

Very good monument but a ginger kept looking at me

my memorial is better than that chibi’s~

I like its buildings.

Over 70 years old are free. HOWEVER without ID no matter what you would not get it....

This a very nice place to visit. This cafe has an entry fee ¥200 for the garden however it is not necessary if you want to enjoy from just the entrance building. You can order some food item and sit before the glass while enjoying foot spa. We the 4 people visited there 1st week of October. It was very decorative. At first we pay ¥200 as entry fee then ordered some food item for us. I ordered Lemmon Lassi. It was so testy. We also wear short form of KIMONO. I visited earlier but did not wear this dress. But it feels good while wearing this dress. It’s free who do not feel comfortable to their dress. In this place the Japanese couple and others were very eager to talk with us. We also talked with them and have some fun with them. We enjoyed a beautiful evening in that place.

Simply a great place to experience the joy of foot bath. Only ¥200 for adult and ¥100 for 100 for children, not only you’d be getting premium foot bath place, they also provide free yukata and clogs to use while you’re there. Their coffee is also especially good and you can enjoy it while foot bathing. Very soothing and relaxing for your feet especially when you’ve walked far enough during your trip. Beautiful and pleasant atmosphere, very polite and helpful staffs. I would recommend this place a thousand times over the free foot bath spa.

Nice place to visit. I had a Yuzu tea for the cold day. The food onsen is great if people are tired

This place is a short distance (10 to 15 minutes’ walk) from the train station. The building design (both internal and external) is amazing as this building seems not really blended (lol) into this quiet town. It offers amazing footbath (outdoor and indoor footbath, please try both) with a minimal fee. You can order snacks and drinks and the staff here will bring it to you to enjoy your food while soaking your feet into the footbath. Nothing much can do in this town (it is really quiet and please take note on the train schedule as the train frequency is low) other than visiting the onsen hotel here. You can also notice many small “fox” statue during the walk to this place, and it seems like a signature of this town (yes, you immediately will notice the giant white fox while existing the Yudaonsen station. You can visit this town/ footbath if you have free time and the rail pass.

Nice place to chill. ¥200/person for the foot bath plus the desserts cost ¥450 each.

Great footbath for 200 yen. Stayed for an hour.

Beautiful outlook. The foot onsen charge 200yen. The souvenir is great but the coffee is just ok.

A part of the venue of World Scouting activity called the 23rd World Scout Jamboree 2015, this building is part of a witness of the great event.

Jamboree was amazing and I miss everyone that I met.

Very scenic park.

Jamboree was the best ever

Good memories

Jamboree 2015

Beautiful..

Nice local prefectural art museum, with rotating exhibitions. Currently the main exhibition showcasing works from Shigeru Matsuda, from October to December 2023.

This is just near to Yamaguchi city office. Not so large but you can enjoy art work. Children also enjoy VR inside the Museum. I recommend it.

Saw the Ghibli Park exhibition, a nice technical look behind the scenes of how animation is made, and an intentional and persuasive argument to go to Ghibli Park.

A good place to visit on a off day. They have a small collection of photos and contemporary arts. One can enjoy passing some time here.

Pretty good! No cafe still though!

Ghibli exhibition was great

Occasionally a good exhibition opens up.

There's a tourist information centre inside on the bottom floor. Also a cafe on the 15th floor which a great view over the city. Outside there's a sort of submarine looking structure on that grass.

This building is normal, but on the side of it there is the old Kencho (city hall) which is splendid, good to see.

(Translated by Google) This is the prefectural office of Yamaguchi Prefecture. There are Rurikoji temples nearby. (Original) ここが山口県の県庁です。 近くに瑠璃光寺などあります。

(Translated by Google) I think it would have been nice if the top floor had been an observation space for the general public like the Saga Prefectural Office and the Oita Prefectural Office. (Original) 佐賀県庁や大分県庁のように最上階が一般向けの展望スペースになってたら良かったと思います。

(Translated by Google) It was very beautiful. I would like to utilize the coworking space. (Original) とても綺麗でした。コワーキングスペース活用していきたいです。

(Translated by Google) Yamaguchi Prefectural Office has an observation room on the 15th floor. You can also see the five-storied pagoda of Rurikoji Temple. It was the tallest building in the prefecture until Kaikyo Yume Tower was built in Shimonoseki. There are five coffee shops and cafeterias, even though there are only two in Fukuoka Prefectural Office, which has a population nearly four times that of Yamaguchi Prefecture. The coffee shop in the observation room was opened by the master of Tokyo's long-established Kanda Coffee when he returned to his hometown. (Original) 山口県庁には15階に展望室があります 瑠璃光寺五重塔も見えますよ 下関に海峡ゆめタワーができるまで県内最高の建物でした 喫茶店、食堂が5つあります　山口県の4倍近く人口がいる福岡県庁には２つしかないのに 展望室にある喫茶店は東京の老舗　神田珈琲のマスターが地元に帰ってきて始めた店になります

(Translated by Google) As I was crossing the crosswalk in front of the west gate of the prefectural office on a weekday evening, I was almost hit by a car belonging to a staff member who was returning home. It's violent and scary. Do you want to go home that quickly? It's embarrassing for a prefectural government employee to do this. (Original) 平日の夕方に県庁西門前の横断歩道を渡っていたら、帰宅する職員の車に轢かれかけた。乱暴で怖い。そんなにはやく帰りたいのか。県庁の職員がこれでは、恥ずかしい。

Great place to relax. A historic location, a small koi pond, play equipment for the children, grass to play or chill on. Toilets handy, convenience store around the corner for when you need refreshment. Watch out for the drunken college students kicking bicycles down.

Small, cute and chill park.

Very attractive park, children can play with many tools, and especially free foot onsen for us after playing is very good choice

Not much to see here. Good start to explore the yuda onsen area. Dip your feet on some of the hot spring dipping area to relax before going for some real onsen experience.

It has an onsen, free for everyone. One can enjoy his/her moments while the children can play in the park.

Enjoy Hot water therapy place.

nice

The ice cream cones are awesome! You can also buy other Yamaguchi made produce as well.

It is clean and great

(Translated by Google) The building, parking lot, and location were all good. The brick-colored tiled roof design evokes the image of a traditional Japanese house in Yamaguchi Prefecture, the spacious, bright, and clean interior allows for leisurely shopping, the large parking lot, and the Kirarahama Nature Observation Park and Kirara Expo Memorial Park are also nearby. The restroom inside the store was quite small (for the size of the store), and I was surprised to see that a group of elderly local women had brought several shopping carts there, so the entire restroom was taken up. I wonder if they used the carts instead of "walking sticks"? Maybe this is the "generosity" that is unique to Yamaguchi that allows this kind of thing to be allowed? (sweat) There is a fast food snack corner and something like a restaurant, but the restaurant also serves mainly wheat-based dishes such as noodles. I wanted to eat rice, so I decided not to eat inside the store and instead bought two types of bento (one for about 500 yen and one for about 800 yen), but neither was very tasty, with thin fillings and thick battered fried side dishes, and many of the other side dishes tasted like medicine? This may have been a consideration to prevent spoilage, but compared to the bentos at other roadside stations, it was disappointing in terms of taste and health > < But still, it's a valuable bento that you'll be grateful for when you come to the nature observation park. As with other roadside stations, the souvenirs were mostly processed foods full of additives, and there wasn't much I wanted to buy, but Daiko Bussan's "Natsumikan Agar" had few additives and was delicious with a gentle sweetness and a slight acidity ☆ It also becomes a firm, chewy summer snack when chilled in the refrigerator. I also recommend Yamaguchi nori, which has no added seasonings. I bought the roasted nori (unflavored, additive-free) cut into eight pieces and ready to eat to make up for the lack of vegetables in the bentos here, but it was crispy, light, and had a nice aroma, so it was delicious ☆ (Original) 建物、駐車場、ロケーションは好印象。山口県の伝統的な日本家屋をイメージできるレンガ色の瓦屋根のデザイン、ゆったりお買い物できる広々とした明るく清潔な店内、広い駐車場、「きらら浜自然観察公園」や「きらら博記念公園」も近い。 店内のトイレは（お店の広さのわりには）狭めの印象で、しかもそこに地元の高齢女性数人のグループが買い物用のカートを何台も持ち込んでいたため、トイレ内が占有されておりビックリしました。「杖」代わりにカートを使ったのかな？こういう事が許されるのも山口ならではの「おおらかさ」なのかなあ？（汗） ファーストフードの軽食コーナーとレストランのようなものもついていますがレストランも麺類などの小麦系メニューが中心。　ご飯が食べたかったので、店内で食べるのはやめて、お弁当を2種類買いました（500円くらいと800円くらいのもの）が、どちらもあまり美味しくはなく、ペラペラの具に厚い衣の揚げ物おかず主体で、それ以外のおかずも薬っぽい味がするものが多く？腐敗対策の配慮かもしれませんが、色々な道の駅のお弁当と比べてもお味・健康面で残念な内容でした＞＜　それでも自然観察公園に来たときにはありがたい貴重なお弁当です。 お土産物は他所の道の駅と同様で添加物たっぷりの加工食品が多く、積極的に買いたいものが少なかったですが、大光物産の「夏みかん寒天」は添加物が少なく、優しい甘さにほのかな酸味で美味しかった☆ 冷蔵庫で冷やすと固く噛み応えのある夏向きのおやつにも。 あと調味料無添加の山口海苔もオススメ。とくに八つ切りですぐ食べられる（味がついていない無添加の）焼きのりは、ここの不健康そうなお弁当の野菜不足を少しでも補うために購入しましたが、パリっと軽くて良い香りで美味しくいただきました☆

(Translated by Google) The parking lot is large and easy to park except during events. This beautiful roadside station is popular for its farm-to-table market, bakery, and soft-serve ice cream. The soft serve ice cream made with Kurimasaru, a pumpkin produced locally in Achisu, is very delicious and highly recommended. There are not many tourist attractions in this area, and no matter which roadside station you go to, there is not much tourist information. (Original) 駐車場が広く、イベント時以外は駐車しやすい。 綺麗な道の駅で産直市やパン屋さんやソフトクリームが人気。 くりまさるという阿知須特産のカボチャを使用したソフトクリームがとても美味しくてお勧めです。 この辺りはあまり観光名所が無いのか、どこの道の駅に行っても観光情報は少ないですね。

(Translated by Google) A beautiful roadside station with a great location It's located near Kirarahama Nature Observation Park and Kirara Expo Memorial Park. The parking lot is large, the facilities are large, and it's always bustling. The spacious store offers relaxed shopping, and it's bright and clean. There's also a snack restaurant, where the soft serve ice cream is popular. Ajisu manju is a popular souvenir, but my recommendation is the pound cake made with Kurimasaru, a pumpkin that's a specialty of Ajisu. It's a little pricey at around 400 yen each, but it's delicious. ♡ It's a limited edition product at the Kirara Ajisu Roadside Station, so I always buy one when I visit. (Original) ロケーションのいい 綺麗な道の駅 「きらら浜自然観察公園」や 「きらら博記念公園」の近くにあります 駐車場が広く、 施設も大きめでいつも賑わっています ゆったりと買い物できる広々とした店内は、 明るく清潔な印象 軽食レストランもあり、 そちらで購入でソフトクリームが人気です お土産は阿知須饅頭が人気ですが、 私のオススメは、 くりまさるという阿知須特産のカボチャを使用したパウンドケーキ 1個400円くらいと少しお高めですが、 とっても美味しいです♡ 道の駅きららあじすの限定商品なので、 ここに来たら必ず買っています

(Translated by Google) This roadside station is located on the seafront, or rather at the mouth of a river. It overlooks the Suo-Ohashi Bridge. Achisu manju is a recommended souvenir. I bought a bento box and inari sushi at the local products center. Everything was delicious 🍱('ω'`) (Original) 海際というか河口にある道の駅。 周防大橋が見渡せる。 お土産は阿知須饅頭がおススメかな。 物産館でお弁当と稲荷寿司を買った。 どれもなかなか美味だった🍱('ω'`)

Significant old restaurant converted to a museum, 100 tatami mat room is impressive and the calligraphy on the walls was painted by visiting prime ministers. Worth visiting.

Wonderful staff -- we were given a tour jf the entire facility by a lovely English-speaking guide. Fascinating history!

Historical place with outstanding landscape beauty!

So nice..

(Translated by Google) [Autumn leaves are beautiful] A facility relocated from a former Japanese restaurant. The autumn leaves in the courtyard seen from the hallway were beautiful. It was interesting to see many plaques of politicians and celebrities such as Shinzo Abe, Kakuei Tanaka, and Eisaku Sato on display. I think it's worth stopping by since it's free including parking. (Original) 【紅葉が美しい】 元料亭を移築した施設。廊下から望む中庭の紅葉が綺麗でした。安倍晋三や田中角栄、佐藤栄作ら政治家や著名人の扁額が多数展示してあり興味深かったです。駐車場含め無料なので立ち寄る価値はあると思います。

(Translated by Google) The historic Caixiang Pavilion is filled with political traces of dynasties, from the Meiji Restoration patriots to the plaques of successive prime ministers; the unique and beautiful garden landscape and the majestic style of the banquet hall are full of the elegance and nobility of the previous pavilion owners. This is a good spot for taking pictures, with beauty everywhere, and it depends on how you grasp the light and shadow. The entrance fee is very cheap, which can only be regarded as maintenance and cleaning fees. The estimated stay time is about 1 hour. (Original) 歷史悠久的菜香亭，充盈著滿滿朝代的政治痕跡，從明治維新志士到歷代首相的匾額；庭院造景的獨特優美及宴客大殿的氣派莊嚴，滿載著前代亭主的優雅高尚。 這裡是個好拍的點，處處蘊藏著美，光影之間就看你怎麼拿捏。 入場費很便宜，只能算是維護與清潔費吧。 可預估停留時間大約１小時。

(Translated by Google) This building was donated to Yamaguchi City by the owner of the old restaurant "Saiko-tei" (Saiko Saito) and relocated here. I know what it looked like in the old days, so I'm glad it has been relocated and restored to its original state. The parking lot is large and can accommodate about 100 cars, including buses and taxis. The rooms are available for rent at a very reasonable price. It is also used for meetings and exhibitions. An admission fee of 100 yen is required for the main hall, but the plaques of past politicians that are preserved there are well worth seeing and are valuable. The staff in the office are all very polite, kind, and use proper language, so it is a pleasant experience. They give polite directions and answer any questions you may have politely. This teamwork is amazing. I think other facilities should follow this example. The admission fee is only 100 yen for the main hall, but perhaps they are able to operate because of subsidies from Yamaguchi City? I hope they will maintain the current system forever. As a user, I think it would be even better if there was a room or even a veranda with a "matcha seat" where you could have a coffee shop. Is that possible? I would like you to come up with some good ideas. (Original) 昔の料亭「菜香亭」のご当主（斎藤清子さん）が山口市に寄贈されて移築した建造物。 昔の姿を知っているので、移築されて立派に蘇り良かったと思う。 駐車場は広く、バス・タクシーも大丈夫で100台ほど置けるスペースがある。 部屋は貸し出しもしていて金額もとても安い。 会合や展示にも使われている。 大広間だけ入場料100円が必要だが、保存されている歴代の政治家の額は見応えが有り貴重だ。 事務室にいる職員は皆さん大変丁寧で親切で言葉遣いも正しいので気持ちよい。 案内も丁寧だし、何を聴いても丁寧に答えてくれる。 このチームワークは凄いと思う。 他の施設も見習うとよいと思った。 入場料は大広間の100円だけなのに、運営が出来ているのは山口市からの助成金が有るからだろうか？ いつまでも、今の体制を保って欲しいと思う。 利用者から思うのは、どこか一部屋か、縁側でも「抹茶席」などが有って喫茶が有ればなおよいのにと思う。 それは出来ないのかな？ 何か良い方法を考えて頂きたい。

I enjoyed the beautiful hostory of the place, zanzen. VERY SERENE!

Some nice shrines and buildings hidden in dense vegetation. During summer months the mosquitos might come for you.

The current main hall was relocated from the Shakado of Hikamiyama Koryuji Temple, and was designated as a national important cultural property in 1952 as a representative temple architecture of the Muromachi period. Although the precincts are not large, the autumn leaves and ginkgo trees on the approach to the shrine were beginning to change color, and the four seasonal cherry blossoms were also blooming one or two times.

(Translated by Google) Ouchi clan mansion ruins Ryufukuji Temple. This is the place where successive Ouchi clans, starting with Hiroyo Ouchi, held political affairs. Its influence spread from the entire Chugoku region to Kyushu, and it became the center of politics in western Japan, giving rise to the name ``Western Capital.'' After Yoshitaka Ouchi committed suicide and the Ouchi clan fell, Ryufuku-ji Temple was built by Takamoto Mori on the site of the Ouchi mansion to pray for Yoshitaka's body. The remains of those days remain, reminding us of the flourishing of Ouchi culture. The main hall of Ryufukuji Temple has been designated as a national important cultural property. (Original) 大内氏館跡 龍福寺。 大内弘世より歴代大内氏がここで政務を執った場所。 勢力が中国地方一円から九州に及ぶに至り、西日本の政治の中心となり、「西の京」が生まれたそうです。 大内義隆自刃・大内氏滅亡の後、毛利隆元により大内館跡に義隆の菩提を弔うためにこの龍福寺を建立。 当時を偲ぶ遺構が残り、大内文化の隆盛を偲ぶ事が出来ました。 龍福寺本堂は国の重要文化財に指定されています🍀

(Translated by Google) ☆Ryufukuji Temple in the middle of the Ouchi clan mansion ruins😄 Ryufuku-ji Temple itself was founded in 1206 in another location, and went through many changes until the 20th year of Tenbun (1551) when it was destroyed by the rebellion of Sue Takafusa (later Sue Haruken). Ryufukuji Temple burnt down🔥 In 1557, Mori Takamoto, the eldest son of Mori Motonari, rebuilt Ryufuku-ji Temple on the site of the Ouchi clan mansion to mourn the memory of Yoshitaka Ouchi. The main hall is the current main hall, which was relocated from Shakado from Mt. The precincts are not very large, and there are Yoshitaka Ouchi Memorial Tower, Sanmon Gate, Bell Tower, Museum & Yoshioki Ouchi Statue on Horseback, and the ruins of the Ouchi clan residence, etc. It is not a tourist spot, so you can take a quiet stroll, and it is beautiful during the autumn leaves season. 🍁 There is a free parking lot near the Sanmon Gate, but be careful as the surrounding roads are very narrow🚙 (Original) ☆大内氏館跡の真ん中に龍福寺😄 龍福寺自体は別の地に建永元年(1206年)の創建、幾多の変遷の中、天文20年(1551年)陶隆房(後の陶晴賢)の謀叛兵火の中で元の龍福寺焼失🔥 弘治3年(1557年)毛利元就長男「毛利隆元」が大内義隆の菩提を弔うために龍福寺を大内氏館跡に再興、明治14年また火災で山門残し焼失、今の本堂は氷上山興隆寺から釈迦堂を移築したのが今の本堂「国指定重要文化財」 それほど広くない境内に、大内義隆供養塔・山門・鐘楼・資料館&大内義興馬上像、大内氏館跡の遺構などあり、観光地化していないので静かに散策、やはり紅葉の季節が綺麗🍁 山門近くに無料駐車場もありますが、周辺の道路が非常に狭いので要注意🚙

(Translated by Google) A place I'd like to visit in the autumn foliage season. Be sure to pick up a leaflet about the Ouchi clan castle ruins at the temple office.

It's been a long time since I've seen someone's ticket gate. I miss the fact that the ticket gates are not automatic. The station is clean and new, and there is a convenient store.

In the morning, dead roaches are lying around, and it's very unpleasant. They've been very active since around June, and of course there were roaches there on the day when the wyverns were spotted. I'm embarrassed as a resident of the prefecture and as a citizen.
