Touring to Hagi – Aiba waterway –

Let’s take a walk along a quiet waterway.
Right where the river initially forks is a quiet area known as the Aiba Waterway.
A quiet narrow, lane follows the carp-filled waterway.


The traditional Samurai House buildings and a huge slab of stone serving as a bridge across the canal.


Experience a time slip to Edo Era at the former castle town.
A little off the main tourist areas of the town in Hagi city, but is well worth a visit.

Guided Touring to Hagi city is available from Tokyo including Akiyoshidai karst plateau.
