Yanai, Coastal municipality in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan
The city extends across 140 square kilometers at the base of Murotsu Peninsula, featuring flat coastal regions overlooking Mount Kotoseki and sections of Setonaikai National Park.
After its foundation as a village in 1889, Yanai evolved through several administrative changes, becoming a town in 1905 and achieving city status in 1954.
The area maintains its traditional textile manufacturing practices, contributing to the preservation of Japanese crafting techniques dating back multiple generations.
