Hagi, Coastal castle town in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan.
Located at the westernmost tip of Honshu, Hagi extends between mountains and the Sea of Japan, with the Abu River forming a delta.
The Mori clan constructed Hagi Castle in 1604, establishing a strategic base that influenced Japanese politics during the Edo and Meiji periods.
The city maintains over 100 pottery kilns producing Hagi ware ceramics, recognized for their refined tea bowls and traditional craftsmanship techniques.
Visitors can explore the preserved castle town layout through designated walking paths connecting samurai residences, merchant houses, and temple districts.
The Kasayama Camellia Grove contains more than 25,000 camellia trees, creating a natural garden near geological formations dating back 14 million years.
