Tangshan Market is located in Shimonoseki, Japan. Shimonoseki is the westernmost city in Honshu, Japan. Although the city is not very famous, it has a very famous food, puffer fish. Because it is close to the Guanmen Strait, the aquatic products here are very rich, especially the puffer fish. When you come to Shimonoseki, you must visit the Tang Dynasty market. It is delicious and delicious. It is not inferior to the Tsukiji in Tokyo and is inexpensive. It is a beautiful thing to watch the lively scene on the first floor while eating on the second floor of the market. First eat a plate of puffer fish sashimi, then come to a large bowl of seafood, and finally don't forget to drink a bowl of steaming puffer fish soup, delicious.

Sophie's Japan Kyushu Travel Tangdo Market Japan's seafood market, always close to the fishing port, can sell the freshest seafood in the first time, so it is usually open early, rest at noon, can eat inside Tasty seafood sashimi, sushi, skewers, tempura, etc., can also buy fresh fish. Tangmen Market is a famous seafood market in Kitakyushu. There are many tourists and locals visiting every day. If you are departing from Hakata, you can take more than 1 hour to get to the Port of Moji and then take a 5 minute ferry to Shimonoseki City. Upon arrival, the market is opposite the pier. The most famous specialty here is chicken fish, also known as puffer fish. It is the kind that if it is not handled well, it will be poisoned when it is eaten, but many stalls are sold here. I believe it is rigorous to the Japanese. Attitude, the person who needs a professional license to deal with puffer fish, can certainly be cleaned up, usually a 1200 yen or so, about 75 yuan a plate of 20 small pieces, cut very thin, fleshy and refreshing teeth, come to try. There are also various kinds of sushi, which are selected according to your own taste. Most of them are only about 100 yen for about 6 yuan, and the slightly expensive ingredients are 300 to 500 yen. There are a lot of stores. It is good to choose a sushi and then choose sushi.

Hinoyama Park

#springblossom Blessed with very good weather, the blue sky and Kanmon Strait, tulips, cherry blossoms, it was the best location. There were a lot of people with their dogs 🐕 I was taking pictures. Despite the weekdays, I waited for 30 minutes for many cars to enter the parking lot. But it was worth the wait☺️A nice little park atop Hinoyama. There is a small gift shop, viewing platform and eating area at the top also. There is a cable car line up to the top, but in all my visits I never used it. The view from the top of the mountain is pretty spectacular. You can take in the whole of the Kanmon strait, looking across to Kyushu. You also get great views towards Shimonoseki city and Korea (though obviously Korea isn't visible). There is also what I assume to be an old artillery fort with old bunkers and gun emplacements that you can explore. Quite creepy at night.

Amazing view of Kaimon Strait

#falltrip This scenic view dividing Japan from Kyushu to Honshu can be enjoyed from Hinoyama Park in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture.

The Tsunoshima Bridge In Japan

#tokyo #bridge #tsunoshima #scenic #photogenic #views #ocean #Japan The Tsunoshima Bridge is a must visit place as this Bridge is at 1780m long that connects the island of tsunoshima to the main island on Japan, while driving on it you will be surrounded with blue clear waters on the left and the right, but do take note, no stopping is allowed on the Bridge itself except for a few dedicated stop points. This Bridge is popular for one who loves ocean drives, but if you do want to take a photo you can head to the Amagase Park before you start crossing the bridge to have a photogenic shot of the long curved bridge over the waters. I assume, the best time to take this shot is at sunset.

A Must-Visit! The Tsunoshima Ohashi Bridge.

The Tsunoshima Ohashi Bridge, spanning 1,780 meters, connects the main island of Honshu in Yamaguchi Prefecture with Tsunoshima Island! Often featured on television and as a filming location, the bridge's breathtaking views of white sandy beaches and the cobalt blue sea have become a hot topic on social media! Driving while gazing at the beautiful sea is exceptionally pleasant and a cut above the rest🩵 Pedestrian and bicycle traffic is also possible on the bridge, and it's recommended to enjoy cycling or walking while feeling the sea breeze☺️ On the Honshu side of the Tsunoshima Ohashi Bridge, there is "Amanose Park," which is an excellent spot for capturing the bridge's spectacular views! It's a luxury to be able to take photos while feeling the sea breeze and the magnificent view🩵 Address: Kanda to Tsunoshima, Toyotama-cho, Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture Access: About 1 hour by car from Mine IC

Tsunojima Bridge

The photogenic Tsunojima Bridge stretches over the beautiful sea. It was a sunny day, so the contrast between the blue of the sea, the white of the road, and the green of the island was beautiful, making it a perfect photo spot! The bridge can be crossed for free, so I drove back and forth several times while enjoying the beautiful sea. There are parks on both sides of the bridge, which I recommend as photography spots. There are various tourist spots on Tsunojima, so when you visit Yamaguchi, be sure to cross the Tsunojima Bridge and explore Tsunojima. The bridge is also suitable for cycling, and there were rental bicycles available, so try it out on a nice day.

Akama Shrine

Address: 4-1 Amidaijicho, Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi 750-0003, Japan. Getting there: The Akama Shrine is just opposite the Akamajingumae bus station. Highlights: Akama Shrine is a Shinto shrine overlooking the Kanmon Strait. It is dedicated to the spirit of child Emperor Antoku who perished in the 12th century Battle of Dannoura, which took place not far from the shrine. At the entrance of the shrine stands the prominent Suitenmon gate which carries a vermilion roof on top of a white arch foundation. Even those it's in the middle of an important and busy street, it feels completely isolated and very calm. The popping colours and nice scenery makes this Shrine very worth it to visit. 😍 Opening hours: 9am to 5pm daily Admission fee: 100yen to enter the treasure hall #bucketlistreboot #traveljapan #culturewalk

Because it is located in Shimonoseki, the hometown of puffer fish, even the shrines can see the image of chubby puffer fish. There are statues of puffer fish in the courtyard, puffer lanterns hanging in the doorway, and even painted horses are big eyes and puffer fish. This Kameyama Hachimangu Shrine, which is far away from the Tang family market, is the most famous shrine I have ever been to. After eating a puffer fish dinner in the opposite Tang market, you can still see the puffer fish at the opposite shrine, which is enough to prove the importance of the puffer fish to Shimonoseki. Not far from here is the Chisho Shrine, which is also worth a visit.
