Shimonoseki City

     

Shimonoseki City

I did a lot of driving in August. The destination of one of those drives was Shimonoseki, Honshū’s most-western city. It is a fascinating place, rich in history (Dan no Ura) but carries itself like a seaside resort town.

Btw, there've been some changes to the map. You can now watch videos within the map (Shimonoseki). Or, you could just watch the two Shimonoseki videos below.

Kushizaki Jin’ya


Kind of an odd place Kushizaki Jin’ya. Check out the video (& castle profile page) and tell me what you think. I’d love to get a second opinion.

Katsuyama Palace


Katsuyama Palace is a fantastic place to visit, it’s well hidden though. I had to ask for directions & I was 100 metres away! The ruins have a very unique feel about them.

    Yeah, that whale is odd. Pity you can ‘t enter and have a look around.

    Yes, I would like’d to have. And I don’t see any harm in opening that whale up as a viewing platform. Just empty ‘er out.

    Agree.
