Karato Market is a representative tourist spot in Shimonoseki, and also a gourmet spot. Every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and public holiday, an event called Bakangai is held, and on that day, sushi shops are lined up in the market! You can buy sushi by the piece, so it might be fun to go around the shops and make your own original sushi pack. One of the most popular shops is "Takesho", and when I actually ate it, it was cheap and delicious, and I was completely addicted. I went there two days in a row. It takes 15 to 30 minutes to order, and when it's your turn, you tell the staff the sushi toppings and number you want. There is a microphone installed, so you don't have to shout, which is a nice touch in a lively space. Order from the left half, order from the right half, pay, and then enjoy wherever you like. You can order miso soup and other items separately at the counter in the back. Sushi starts at 100 yen per piece, and even though it's cheap, the portions are big and the fish is very fresh, so it's very satisfying◎ The fugu soup (300 yen) is also full of chunks of meat, and is especially recommended in winter when it's in season, as it will warm you up😉 Karato Market was really better than I expected! It was a place I definitely want to stop by when I go to Shimonoseki🍣 *Reference price / per piece* 100 yen: Natural pufferfish, local live horse mackerel, seared hairtail 150 yen: Live red sea bream, red tuna, natural flounder 200 yen: Bluefin tuna medium fatty tuna, Hokkaido scallops 300 yen: Marbled whale, bluefin tuna brain/fatty tuna Visited: February 2024 #Japanese Gourmet 2024 #100 Travel Styles #Domestic Travel #Yamaguchi #Yamaguchi Tourism #Yamaguchi Gourmet #Gourmet #Shimonoseki #Shimonoseki Tourism #Shimonoseki Gourmet #Karato Market #Takesho #Sushi #Sushi

yeah! Karato Yokomachi is built on the coast of Shimonoseki City. It is a small family-friendly theme park with more than ten amusement facilities, such as carousels, bumper cars, rotating swings, etc. The most eye-catching thing is the colorful Ferris wheel, which is about 60 meters high and is a landmark building on the seaside. From the Ferris wheel, you can overlook the Kanmon Strait and Kanmon Bridge, and even the vast beauty of the Kyushu region. The scenery is beautiful. Another must-see is the "London Bus" presented to Shimonoseki City by the UK near the entrance. This is a double-decker bus made in London, England in the 1960s. It seems that Hong Kong people feel familiar with this bus. . The advantage of the park is that admission is free, and each ride is charged separately. Visitors can choose according to their own preferences. 📍Address: Arcaport, Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan #themepark #100 Ways to Travel

It's in Yamaguchi Prefecture. I went to Tsunoshima Bridge.

The refreshing feeling when crossing the bridge and the surrounding natural beauty are the best! ︎. ⁡ Please stop by when you go to Yamaguchi ⁡ #YamaguchiTrip #YamaguchiTourism #YamaguchiPrefecture #TsunoshimaBridge #0YenTrip

The "Ikiki Bakan" at Karato Market in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture was amazing⭐️ As much sushi as you like✨ Each sushi is large, and because it's a market, it's extremely fresh. There are chair seats in the market, but connoisseurs eat on the grass in front of the sea😋 Happy sushi time while looking at the Kanmon Bridge❤️ You can also get there from Moji Port in Fukuoka. It's a 5-minute boat ride to Shimonoseki✨ It departs every 20 minutes, and costs 400 yen one way. It's a small boat, but if you board with a wheelchair or stroller, there is a semi-private room where you can sit comfortably😊 When you arrive at the port next to Shimonoseki Aquarium Kaikyokan, it's a short walk to Karato Market, where you can choose and buy your favorite sushi, such as blackthroat seaperch, fan shrimp, and ara.

For those sisters traveling deeply in Japan, I recommend you visit Shimonoseki. The Tsunoshima Bridge, known as the 'world's must-see scenic spot,' is here. Once you see it, you'll understand how breathtaking it is. Highlights: As the longest sea-crossing bridge in Japan, Tsunoshima Bridge is one of the country's most astonishing structures. Its infinitely extending straight bridge spans over the clear blue sea, presenting a spectacular view. 🎉 Tsunoshima Bridge is the longest sea-crossing bridge in Japan, and its length is truly astonishing. ❤️ The design of this bridge is very special. Its straight extension creates an incredible visual effect. 😄 The beauty of Tsunoshima Bridge is not only breathtaking but has also appeared in numerous TV commercials, making it a famous tourist attraction. 🚗🚗🚗 If you want to experience this world-class scenic spot in person, you need to visit Tsunoshima Bridge. From the front, you will see the bridge extending infinitely, spanning over the blue sea, as beautiful as a postcard. 😳 Although this place is somewhat remote and the transportation is not very convenient, once you witness such a magnificent sight with your own eyes, you will feel that it is all worth it.

After eating and drinking at Karato Market, you can walk to Akama Jingu Shrine. It has a unique geographical location, located next to the coastline. You can see the scenery of Moji Port from above. The shrine is shaped like a red and white dragon palace. I read the introduction on the Internet and found out that there are thousands of years of historical stories here. ⬇️ Akama Jingu Shrine is dedicated to Emperor Antoku and his family who jumped into the sea at the age of 6 after being defeated in the Genpei War. It is also the background stage of the famous Japanese ghost story "Houichi Muro". #Akama Shrine

On the Yamaguchi Prefecture side, there is the site of the Dannoura Battlefield, where the Battle of Dannoura, the final battle leading to the downfall of the Taira clan in the Genpei War of the Heian period, took place, and it was also the site of the Shimonoseki War from 1863 to 1864. Even today, there is a statue of Minamoto no Yoshitsune and a monument of a gun battery modeled after the Shimonoseki War, making it a popular tourist spot. 📌Kanmon Strait 📌〒751-0815 Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture 📌There is a tunnel that allows you to walk under the sea to the opposite shore, and there are many things to see in the area. 📌 Popularity ★★★★☆ #Yamaguchi Tourism #777 #Yamaguchi Prefecture #Shimonoseki Tourism #Shimonoseki #Kanmon Strait #Minamoto no Yoshitsune #Travel to experience history and culture #Places to feel history #Strait #Sea

This is the tourist train "XX Story" that connects "Shin-Shimonoseki ⇔ Higashi-Hagi" in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The outbound journey is "Shin-Shimonoseki - Shimonoseki - Nagato City - Higashi-Hagi". The return journey is "Higashi-Hagi - Senzaki - Nagato City - Shimonoseki - Shin-Shimonoseki". The route is slightly different. This time, we used "Shimonoseki Station ⇔ Higashi-Hagi Station". From bottom to top on the western edge of Honshu. A story about the "Sanin Line" that runs mainly along the coast. During the journey, the conductor will make announcements telling you "XX Story" related to the region along the way. At view spots, the train runs slowly and there are also stops during the journey so you can take photos. There are long stops at stations along the way. There is time to use the cafe, take commemorative photos, and stop at roadside stations on the outbound and return journeys. Buy local specialties and get back on board. This is a "Story of XX" trip where you can enjoy the scenery to the end while stuffing your cheeks with Yamaguchi specialties. There are signs at each station with information on the famous places and specialties, so be sure to check them out. You need a "boarding ticket" and a "reserved seat ticket" to board. You don't need a "limited express ticket," so you can use "Seishun 18 Ticket" and other tickets by purchasing an additional "reserved seat ticket." Cars 1 and 2 have different colors and atmospheres, so you can change cars for the outbound and return journeys to add to the fun. The train only operates on weekends and holidays, so be sure to check the operating days on the website before making a reservation! If you get off along the way, you can stop by places like Tsunoshima Bridge, so it's an attractive trip not only to use the "tourist train" but also to make your own travel plan. #Yamaguchi Prefecture #Train trip #Sanin Line #Shimonoseki #Higashihagi #Hagi #Cafe #Roadside station #Senzaki #Nagato #Story of XX #Train window #Walking around Yamaguchi #Yamaguchi sightseeing #Yamaguchi trip #Domestic travel
