Chofu Town

Chofu, a district in Shimonoseki, is located eight kilometers inland from the city center and is rich in history. Once home to the Mori Clan's castle town, it offers visitors a chance to explore its fascinating past. The original castle was destroyed in 1615 due to a feudal law restricting the number of castles per domain. However, several other historical structures still remain, providing a glimpse into the area’s feudal era.

Today, Chofu’s surviving landmarks and buildings make it an interesting spot for history enthusiasts. You can walk through the district and immerse yourself in its storied heritage while enjoying the charm of this peaceful, historically significant area.
