Hello, I’m Milky, the administrator here. We use affiliate advertising on this blog. Please enjoy your stay.
“This time, Milky, a resident of Yamaguchi City in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, which was chosen as the third-place destination to visit in the world by ‘The New York Times,’ will share the authentic voices of the citizens of Yamaguchi City!”
Honestly, why Yamaguchi City? Maybe everyone is thinking that (laughs). Yamaguchi citizens might be the most puzzled 😉; However, I want to convey the charm of Yamaguchi City, which residents may not have noticed precisely because they live there.
[Latest in 2024] Real Voices of Yamaguchi City Residents, Chosen as the 3rd Place to Visit in the World by “The New York Times” “I never thought we would be chosen!”
First, let me introduce how and why Yamaguchi City was chosen! About 100 travel writers from around the world recommended places they thought were “highly recommended” to The New York Times. From these recommendations, the editorial team of The New York Times selected and evaluated 52 places as “must-visit!”
According to The New York Times website, Yamaguchi City is called the “Kyoto of the West” and is described as a compact city with relatively few problems caused by excessive tourists.
Therefore, it is a source of great pride for the citizens that Yamaguchi City was chosen as the 3rd place to visit in the world. At the same time, there is anxiety like, “Is it okay?” There are only about one bus or train every 30 minutes…
However, it may be precisely because there are charms in Yamaguchi City that residents, who take them for granted, may not have noticed that it was chosen.
Some sports-related players often use Yamaguchi City for training camps. The reason is that there are many rural roads, making it easy to run during training. Moreover, there is Yuda Onsen Town nearby, so they can enjoy delicious meals and hot springs.
Certainly, what may be taken for granted by Yamaguchi City residents can be advantageous to visitors from outside the prefecture, with fewer crowds, compactness, and ease of sightseeing!
In addition, some real voices from citizens include: “Luriko-ji is truly the Kyoto of the West! I hope you come and see it.” “It’s often said to be a town with nothing, so I’m happy. There are various tourist spots in the prefecture, so I hope you visit them too.” “Yamaguchi City has delicious sake, and the quiet atmosphere is nice.”
