Tokoji Temple, Hagi Yamaguchi - 東光寺●山口県萩市 - Japan As It Truly Is
Tokoji is one of two huge temples used by the Mori Clan of Hagi (Choshu). It shows the enormous power they wielded.
Additionally there is also the Daishoin Temple nearby that complements Tokoji and used for the other half of the family. The Choshu domain would later be one of the prime actors in overthrowing the Shogun and restoring direct rule to the Emperor in 1868. It also had considerable influence on the Japanese government and new army well into the start of the 20th Century.
Tokoji was established in 1691 and every other generation was buried in the family graveyard. This video shows the temple at the peak of the cherry blossom season, which is one of the best times to visit it.

[011] Yamaguchi Hagi Tokoji Temple
Subscribe link ：
Tokoji Temple (東光寺) is located in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Visitors can find its magnificent wooden temple buildings within the forest located east of downtown Hagi. It was founded in 1691and belongs to the Obaku school of Japanese Zen Buddhism.
Most temples of the Obaku sect display an architectural style that has more Chinese features than that of the average Japanese temple. Tokoji Temple is no different. Visitors will notice this right away upon entering the temple through its Chinese style, red entrance gate. Visitors will pass under an even larger wooden gate, the Sanmon Gate, and an old bell tower on their way to the main hall. Further evidence of Chinese Zen architecture style is evident in the Tokoji’s main hall which houses a statue of the historic Buddha (Shaka Nyorai).
An impressive graveyard can be seen behind the temple buildings. Here lies the graveyard of half of the Mori daimyo (feudal lords). The Mori daimyo governed Hagi during the Edo Period (1603-1868). The odd numbered successors of the Mori lords were buried here at Tokoji Temple and the first and even numbered lords were buried at Daishoin Temple. With Tokoji Temple being located in the woods, the atmosphere is quite tranquil and serene.
Access Information:
Tokoji Temple is located about two kilometers southeast of Higashi-Hagi Station.
**By bicycle: about 10-15 minutes (slightly uphill)
**On foot: about 30 minutes.
**By Bus: from Higashi-Hagi and Hagi Stations please take Maru Bus East Loop
Hours: 8:30 to 17:00
Closed: Opened all year round

Japan travel: is this shrine Japan's best hidden shrine? | Hagi, Japan
#Japan #Travel #Hagi
I based myself near Higashi Hagi station and explored the old castle ruins, Daishoin temple, Aibagawa waterway, Tokoji temple and Shoin shrine.
It took a while getting to grips with getting around the city by public transport but was able to enjoy some of the most epic and beautiful Japanese temples and shrines I've ever seen.
Best of all there were very few people in these incredible Japanese tourist spots and japanese shrines.
If you like japanese temples then hagi japan will be quite a surprise!
Daishoin Temple, Hagi Yamaguchi - 大照院山口県萩市 - Japan As It Truly Is
Daishoin is one of two huge temples used by the Mori Clan of Hagi (Choshu). It shows the enormous power they wielded.
Additionally there is also the Tokoji Temple nearby that complements Daishoin and used for the other half of the family. The Choshu domain would later be one of the prime actors in overthrowing the Shogun and restoring direct rule to the Emperor in 1868. It also had considerable influence on the Japanese government and new army well into the start of the 20th Century.
Daishoin has its roots going back to a previous temple there built at the end of the 8th Century, and in the 1600s the Mori Clan took over with every other generation buried in the family graveyard. After a major fire, the temple was rebuilt in 1750.
This video shows the temple at the peak of the cherry blossom season, which is one of the best times to visit it.

【★028★】Yamaguchi Enseiji Temple
Subscribe link :
Along the Japan Sea coastline of Yamaguchi Prefecture is the small historic town of Hagi. This small town contains both artistic elements (Hagiyaki Pottery) as well as cultural remnants (samurai town). And here, visitors can see how religion can co-exist in a single location.
Enseiji Temple has both a temple and shrine within its grounds. This Shinto and Buddhism coexistence was quite common in the past, but during the Meiji Period, the two religions were separated.
Built in 1254, Enseiji Temple was the worship place for the Ouchi clan. Another interesting historic fact is Japan’s first Prime Minister, Ito Hirobumi, learned calligraphy and reading here when he was a child.

Hagi Castle, Yamaguchi in Cherry Blossom Season - 山口県萩城跡✿指月公園 - Japan As It Truly Is
The remains of Hagi Castle in Yamaguchi become one of southern Honshu's best sakura spots, and is an often overlooked gem.
Hagi is a city on the Sea of Japan side with a large historical significance, especially from the late 19th Century. After the Meiji Restoration though, the feudal age was drawn to a close and numerous beautiful castles were destroyed...this one in 1874. Today however you can see the beautiful Shizuki Park with a unique variety of cherry blossoms.

Welcome to Vincent's Travels and Vlogs,
It is my pleasure to present you our Day 2 Travels in Hagi (Yamaguchi), Japan. Everything in this video was captured using the iPhone 7 Plus.

Japan Travel: Shoin Shrine, Key Figure in the Meiji Restoration, Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan
[021]Yamaguchi Shoin Shrine
Nestled in historic Hagi, Yamaguchi Prefecture, is the Shoin Shrine (松陰神社,) dedicated to Yoshida Shoin. A true patriot, Shoin promoted forward thinking and was thought of as a rebel by the shogunate. Being sentenced to death for his part in an assignation plot, his followers believe Shoin sacrificed his life for the good of Japan.
The present shrine building completed in 1955 to remember Shoin is located east of Hagi's former castle town, near from Tokoji Temple. The shrine ground houses the Shokason Juku School, and Shoin’s Former Residence. In Shoin’s Former Residence, visitors can view the small 3 and half tatami mats Shoin was confined to during his house arrest. Likewise, visitors can see the old wooden building of his school which houses portraits of his students, who were pioneers during the Meiji Restoration. It is, though, unfortunate, that entry is not permitted and both buildings can only be viewed from the outside.
Visitors can also visit the Yoshida Shoin History Museum which lies near the entrance of the shrine grounds. The museum display important events in Shoin’s life through displays of life sized figures. Visitors can also find exhibits of his writing and letters in the shrine’s treasure hall (Homotsuden). However neither the museum nor Homotsuden has English explanations available.
The first prime minister of Japan, Ito Hirobumi, was among Shoin’s ex-students. Two of the Former Hirobumi Residences lies about 5 minutes by foot away from the Shoin Shrine. Visitors will have a chance to compare and contrast the difference in Hirobumi’s life before and after he became prime minister.
Access Information:
**By Bus:
From Higashi-Hagi or Hagi Station, take the Maru Bus East Loop line and stop at Shoin Jinja-mae bus stop. The shrine is just a short walk from the bus stop.
**By Bicycle:
From Higashi-Hagi, about 7-8 minutes
**By foot:
From Higashi-Hagi Station, about 15 minutes

Located on the delta of the Abu River facing the Sea of Japan, Hagi is a well preserved historic town, with its samurai heritage and beautiful Hagiyaki Pottery. Visitors interested in Hagi’s rich past are advised to visit Hagi Museum.
Built in 2004, the museum is centered on the concept of “Hagiology.” Hagiology has many sub-themes such as nature, culture, history and so on, as Hagi is rich with all these elements and more. Within the museum, visitors can examine historic artifacts and view the displays. As Hagi is home to many famous characters of Japanese history, such as Yoshida Shoin (a key player in shaping Japan’s future pre-Meiji Restoration), there are also displays about them here as well. And English information is available.
There is a gift shop within the museum with local souvenirs such as summer tangerine. Books about local historic figures as well as Hagi original items are available here. In addition to the gift shop, there is a restaurant within the museum as well. Dishes include local Hagi meat and seafood entrees. Visitors with a sweet tooth may opt for the summer tangerine ice cream which is supposedly served only here.
