I Go To Meirinkan In Hagi City

Meirinkan was a school opened in 1719 in the Sannomaru of Hagi Castle to educate the children of Mori clan retainers.

130 years later, it moved to the center of the castle town and expanded in size.

To the west side were buildings for academic study, martial arts training grounds such as spear ranges, kendo ranges, and archery ranges, a water training pond to the rear, and a military training ground to the north.

I Walk From Hagi Beach to Hagi Castle Ruins Park

Kikugahama Beach, famous for its white sand and green pine trees, is an impressive spot where Mount Shizuki, where Hagi Castle was once built, can be seen from the beach.

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.
