Shimonoseki Travel Tips
3 of 3 in Yamaguchi Prefecture
Shimonoseki (下関), located on the westernmost tip of Honshu in Yamaguchi Prefecture, serves as a historic gateway to Kyushu, with the bustling Kanmon Strait separating it from the neighboring island. Though bridges and tunnels now span the strait, Shimonoseki retains its charm as a vital hub with a rich maritime culture and scenic coastal views.
Famous for its seafood, Shimonoseki is especially known for fugu (pufferfish), a delicacy carefully prepared and served in local restaurants. Every day, fresh catches arrive at vibrant fish markets, making the city an ideal spot for culinary adventures and seaside exploration.
