Located in the Yamaguchi Prefecture, far west in mainland Japan, Hofu-shi’s history lies in the powerful samurai Mori clan, once denoted as the lords of the Choshu Domain (the prefecture’s old name). The Mori Garden and Mori Museum bring history back to the present, narrating the tales of the clan that settled into the city following a defeat in the 1600 Battle of Sekigahara.
Another spectacular attraction is the Hofu Tenmangu, a beautiful shrine dedicated to the God of Learning — the monument is characterized by the stone steps that lead up to the brightly-colored shrine.
A couple more temples and ancient gardens, and you’d know Hofu is one historical town. Living in Hofu means reveling in history every day, with stories of the past defining what the city really means to the locals. Culture-rich, Hofu-shi is easily one of the many great places to live, work, and play.
