Here are some materials for domestic and international tours
Nagato City, located in the northern part of Yamaguchi Prefecture, is known for its scenery of sea and mountains and five distinctive hot springs, including Motonosumi Shrine with its 123 torii (shrine gates) along the sea and Nagato Yumoto Onsen, the oldest hot spring resort in Yamaguchi Prefecture, which will undergo a complete renovation in spring 2020.
Prior to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the number of visitors from East Asia had been increasing year after year in this city due to the "Motonosumi Shrine," and the city is now preparing for the time when inbound demand will expand again, not only domestically but also in the future.
On this page, we would like to introduce major contents, menus, and accommodations, focusing on "sightseeing," "experience," and "lodging" in Nagato City. For inquiries about tour planning, please contact the Nagato City Tourism & Convention Association.
Major Tourist Attractions
Motonosumi Shrine
A shrine with 123 torii gates along the sea.
Nagato Yumoto Onsen
In spring 2020, the oldest hot spring resort in Yamaguchi Prefecture was reborn as a hot spring resort where visitors can enjoy strolling around.
Roadside Station Senza Kitchen
Grandly opened in April 2018, this roadside station is one of the largest in Yamaguchi Prefecture. Adjacent to the station is a sightseeing boat pier and the Nagato Toy Museum, where visitors can play with more than 150 types of wooden toys.
Qinghai Island
This is a spot where you can view the oddly shaped rocks and caves known as the Maritime Alps. You can also enjoy a boat tour from the sightseeing boat terminal adjacent to Senza Kitchen, a roadside station.
Daineiji Temple
It is one of the most famous temples of the Soto sect, known for its cherry blossoms in the spring and autumn leaves in the fall.
Main Experience Menu
Dressing and Walking Around Town
Visitors can go out in kimonos from ryokan and stroll through the completely renovated hot spring resort area, where ryokan and stores line the riverfront. Footbaths along the promenade and terraces on the river called "kawadoko" are popular resting and photo spots.
Kabuki Experience
Visitors can enjoy taking pictures in actual kabuki costumes at a kabuki theater, a traditional Japanese performing art, and learn the "mise-en-scène," a kabuki pose that is decided in time with the sound of the music.
Tea ceremony experience
In addition to strolling around the hot spring resort in kimono, visitors can experience a tea ceremony in a tea room and take a breather. In conjunction with a visit to the Hagiyaki Fukagawa Kiln, a local traditional craft with a history of approximately 400 years, you can also enjoy a cup of tea in a Hagiyaki bowl.
Cafe time on the riverbed
You can enjoy a special café time on the terrace "Kawadoko" above the river while looking at the "Onshin River" flowing in front of Otani Sanso. The menu includes "homemade bread set" and "clubhouse sandwiches", which are served with coffee.
Soba noodle making experience
In the Tawarayama area, a hot spring resort located about 15 minutes by car from Nagato Yumoto Onsen, buckwheat seeds are grown. Visitors can try their hand at making soba (buckwheat noodles), from kneading the flour to actually tasting it, while being taught by a local soba maker.
Nagatrip (Experience tourism event in Nagato City)

So far, the first program was held in November 2018, the second in July-August 2019, and the third in October 2020, and some programs can be arranged and implemented for tours.
