I Walk Around Hagi City

Hagi still retains the castle town that was formed around 400 years ago.

As a result, it is a town where old maps from the Edo period can be used as they are.

The town was home to many famous figures, including Yoshida Shoin, Kido Takayoshi, Takasugi Shinsaku, and Ito Hirobumi, and their birthplaces and former homes remain in various places.
