Yamaguchi Walking Tour - Our guide (Kuni?) was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Yamaguchi. Although he didn’t speak English, an interpreter accompanied him. Janice, our interpreter was also very knowledgeable.
The five story pagoda was under renovation so we didn’t get to experience the full beauty. It was still a nice visit. Kozan Park was nice, but we were too early for the cherry blossoms.
We tasted “Uiroe?” - specialty treat for Yamaguchi and a candied fruit. Kino and Janice were very kind. We enjoyed our tour.
