Yamaguchi Prefecture, Administrative prefecture in Chugoku region, Japan
Yamaguchi Prefecture extends across the western end of Honshu island with coastlines along both the Sea of Japan and Seto Inland Sea.
During the Muromachi period, the Ouchi clan established their power base in Yamaguchi and developed trade connections with Korea and China.
The prefecture maintains numerous samurai residences in Hagi city, which demonstrate the architectural traditions of feudal Japan through preserved structures.
The Sanyo Shinkansen rail line connects Yamaguchi Prefecture to major cities, with stations in Shin-Yamaguchi, Ube, and Shimonoseki providing frequent services.
The Akiyoshidai plateau contains Japan's longest limestone cave system, featuring underground rivers and natural formations spanning over 10 kilometers.
