Hagi

Definitely planning to visit on a future trip. It’s so pretty and serene looking.

Also been to Japan a few times and honestly I prefer skipping Tokyo,Kyoto, Osaka and all those touristy areas because not only are small towns like this more beautiful/peaceful, you actually get to see the genuine side of Japan.

Been to that town, It's really nice.

The old town is actually very big for japan standards and it’s rare to have this directly on the coast, and especially rare to have so empty

I was like omg how did I like this previously cos I’ve gotten very used to less busy parts of japan like Hagi

There are loads of various historic streets and temples which were very fun to take photos of, and it’s surrounded by beautiful peaceful coastal scenery and mountains. It is not just one pretty street like many historic towns in japan, there are historic buildings everywhere in the town, you can wander down any random street and there’s loads of beautiful architecture.

Out of everywhere I have visited in japan, the small historic town of Hagi in Yamaguchi Prefecture is one of my favourite places. It is not near any major touristy cities and takes a while to get to, but it’s well worth going. Due to its remoteness, there was not a single foreign tourist the entire 2 days I was there, so it is extremely quiet and peaceful.

I recommend it to everyone that wants some quiet relaxation away from the big cities whilst also being able to experience the beauty of Japan.
