The room was clean, and above all, the hot spring was wonderful! The breakfast was also neat, and getting around was convenient with the Yamaguchi Bus Pass. A walk around the nearby town was also very pleasant.

We really wanted to see Motonosumi Shrine. However, the original tour that we wanted to join was already full the day that is available for us so we decided to book this tour. Little did we know that we have booked a tour with "Chinese/Japanese-speaking tour guide" even if we don't speak any of the two languages. Despite this, our tour guide, Mr. Wang, did his best to guide us using a translation app. The initial plan for the tour is we explore Mojiko on our own then ride the ferry to go to the Karato Fish market and the tour guide will meet us there. However, Mr. Wang volunteered to take us to the fish market through the van instead of the ferry so we will not be lost. We respectfully declined his offer because we wanted to experience riding the ferry. We really felt his sincere concern for us. We are very satisfied with this tour. Thank you, Mr. Wang!

There were only 2 of us but tour went ahead as plan. Koh was our guide and she did a great job! She was able to converse both in Chinese and English well, and we have a 3rd language hokkien too! She was able to plan the itineary well and we covered everything nicely. We get to see Tori gate during high tide and low tide as well, it was majestic and beautiful. We also hike up Mt Misen, I was huffing and puffing but she waited patiently and was encouraging as well. She is so fit and did not even break a sweat! Thank you Koh for such a wonderful experience and we learnt lots about Hiroshima from you.

VERY EASY TO REDEEM! VERY EASY TO USE! AND IT WILL GET YOU FASTER TO YOUR DESTINATION! SAVES TIME THAN TAKING PLANE! didn't reserve a seat yet until the day my ticket is valid. went to station when I'm all ready. i looked for the nearest depart time when I'm already at the station and reserves my seat. you can even just go and catch the train and just seat on non served one.

Perfect for travelers using the Sanyo Shinkansen. The pass covers the Sanyo Shinkansen between Shin-Osaka and Hakata. Please note: Kokura and Mojiko are already within the JR Shikoku area, and this pass cannot be used for trains below limited express. Price: Still 22,000 yen.

Quick facts about Yamaguchi
General info
What to know before visiting Yamaguchi
Quick snapshot of Yamaguchi’s travel scene
Yamaguchi draws most bookings for tours and local experiences, and demand cycles noticeably through the year with a strong peak in January and a quiet trough in October. Expect the city’s tourism rhythm to alternate between short high-demand bursts and longer quieter stretches.
Best months to visit and how prices move
According to Klook booking data, January is the busiest month while October sees the lowest demand. Prices peak around July and are typically lowest in October, so demand and price don’t move in perfect sync: the busiest month (January) is not the priciest, and July is expensive even though it isn’t the top demand month. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, consider visiting in October; for peak-season atmosphere choose January or July when activity and event energy are higher.
Tips for travellers
Most experiences in Yamaguchi can be booked very close to travel—Klook data shows travellers typically book about three days ahead—so the destination suits spontaneous plans. If you’ll travel in the peak months named above, consider locking in important tours a few days earlier to secure your spot; otherwise you can often arrange activities at short notice.
