Hotels in Yamaguchi, Japan

Yamaguchi sits on the western tip of Honshu, Japan's main island, with a temperate climate that brings hot, humid summers (around 86°F/30°C) and mild winters (around 45°F/7°C). Spring and autumn are the best times to visit: in April, you can walk through the 500-year-old cherry blossom tunnel at Kozan-ji temple, while October's cooler weather makes it perfect for hiking across the Akiyoshidai Plateau's limestone karst formations. If you come in summer, head to the coast of Hagi for kayaking in the calm Japan Sea, or explore Hagi Castle Town's samurai district during the drier winter months.
