Japan travel: is this shrine Japan's best hidden shrine? | Hagi, Japan
#Japan #Travel #Hagi
I based myself near Higashi Hagi station and explored the old castle ruins, Daishoin temple, Aibagawa waterway, Tokoji temple and Shoin shrine.
It took a while getting to grips with getting around the city by public transport but was able to enjoy some of the most epic and beautiful Japanese temples and shrines I've ever seen.
Best of all there were very few people in these incredible Japanese tourist spots and japanese shrines.
If you like japanese temples then hagi japan will be quite a surprise!

Japan Trip: Hagi in Japan's History--Kido Takayoshi Residence, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Hagi Town
Hagi Town in Yamaguchi Prefecture is rich with art and culture. From its Hagiyaki Pottery, highly praised by the tea ceremony community, to former samurai mansions, visitors can feel Japan’s past in this small quiet town.
Visitors interested in Hagi and Japan’s history are advised to visit the birth house of Kido Takayoshi. Takayoshi is an important Japanese statesman who helped overthrow the Tokugawa family’s 264 year regime to restore the power back to the emperor. Once the new government was formed, Takayoshi became one of the most effective officials in the new government.
His birth home in the Horiuchi quarters in Hagi is a simple, traditional Japanese home. The 250 year old home has many small tatami rooms. There is a small garden as well where a pine tree (over 300 years old) stands.

Japan Travel, Chinese Architecture and Mori Daimyo Graveyard, Tokoji Temple, Hagi, Japan
[011] Yamaguchi Hagi Tokoji Temple
Subscribe link :
Tokoji Temple (東光寺) is located in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Visitors can find its magnificent wooden temple buildings within the forest located east of downtown Hagi. It was founded in 1691and belongs to the Obaku school of Japanese Zen Buddhism.
Most temples of the Obaku sect display an architectural style that has more Chinese features than that of the average Japanese temple. Tokoji Temple is no different. Visitors will notice this right away upon entering the temple through its Chinese style, red entrance gate. Visitors will pass under an even larger wooden gate, the Sanmon Gate, and an old bell tower on their way to the main hall. Further evidence of Chinese Zen architecture style is evident in the Tokoji’s main hall which houses a statue of the historic Buddha (Shaka Nyorai).
An impressive graveyard can be seen behind the temple buildings. Here lies the graveyard of half of the Mori daimyo (feudal lords). The Mori daimyo governed Hagi during the Edo Period (1603-1868). The odd numbered successors of the Mori lords were buried here at Tokoji Temple and the first and even numbered lords were buried at Daishoin Temple. With Tokoji Temple being located in the woods, the atmosphere is quite tranquil and serene.
Access Information:
Tokoji Temple is located about two kilometers southeast of Higashi-Hagi Station.
**By bicycle: about 10-15 minutes (slightly uphill)
**On foot: about 30 minutes.
**By Bus: from Higashi-Hagi and Hagi Stations please take Maru Bus East Loop
Hours: 8:30 to 17:00
Closed: Opened all year round

Japan Trip: Yoshida Shoin Shrine, Pioneer for Meiji Restoration, Hagi Yamaguchi 21 Samurai
Japan Trip: Shoin Shrine, a Pioneer for the Meiji Restoration, Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan 21Moopon
Nestled in historic Hagi, Yamaguchi Prefecture, is the Shoin Shrine (松陰神社,) dedicated to Yoshida Shoin. A true patriot, Shoin promoted forward thinking and was thought of as a rebel by the shogunate. Being sentenced to death for his part in an assignation plot, his followers believe Shoin sacrificed his life for the good of Japan.
The present shrine building completed in 1955 to remember Shoin is located east of Hagi's former castle town, near from Tokoji Temple. The shrine ground houses the Shokason Juku School, and Shoin’s Former Residence. In Shoin’s Former Residence, visitors can view the small 3 and half tatami mats Shoin was confined to during his house arrest. Likewise, visitors can see the old wooden building of his school which houses portraits of his students, who were pioneers during the Meiji Restoration. It is, though, unfortunate, that entry is not permitted and both buildings can only be viewed from the outside.
Visitors can also visit the Yoshida Shoin History Museum which lies near the entrance of the shrine grounds. The museum display important events in Shoin’s life through displays of life sized figures. Visitors can also find exhibits of his writing and letters in the shrine’s treasure hall (Homotsuden). However neither the museum nor Homotsuden has English explanations available.
The first prime minister of Japan, Ito Hirobumi, was among Shoin’s ex-students. Two of the Former Hirobumi Residences lies about 5 minutes by foot away from the Shoin Shrine. Visitors will have a chance to compare and contrast the difference in Hirobumi’s life before and after he became prime minister.
Access Information:
**By Bus:
From Higashi-Hagi or Hagi Station, take the Maru Bus East Loop line and stop at Shoin Jinja-mae bus stop. The shrine is just a short walk from the bus stop.
**By Bicycle:
From Higashi-Hagi, about 7-8 minutes
**By foot:
From Higashi-Hagi Station, about 15 minutes
