Yamaguchi

Yamaguchi City, located in the heart of Yamaguchi Prefecture, was once known as the "Kyoto of the West" for its refined culture and prosperity, which began 600 years ago and continues to this day. The Yamaguchi Tourism & Convention Association is eager to assist those looking to host a variety of events in Yamaguchi City, including conventions, academic conferences, exhibitions, athletic meets, and more.
In 2021, a convention hall with a capacity of 2,000 seats and a facility with variously sized meeting rooms opened. Conveniently located next to Shin-Yamaguchi Station, where the Nozomi Shinkansen stops, it offers excellent accessibility. In 2024, Yamaguchi City was the only city in Japan to be selected in the "52 Places to Go in 2024" by The New York Times. Famous historical sites and top-notch hot springs also await you. We hope many of you will be interested in visiting this historic city!
