【萩往還】長州藩の造ったお殿様街道は「おもてなし」を感じる素晴らしい古道

The charm of the Hagi Highway is that there are many remaining stone pavings in various places such as Sasazaka, Isshodani, Gomonzo, and Ochiai. You can experience the atmosphere of the time when the lords of the Mori clan and the Choshu samurai such as Hirobumi Ito, Shoin Yoshida, Shinsaku Takasugi, and Kogoro Katsura, who were active from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji Restoration, traveled along the road. In addition, the "Hagi Highway Exchange Facility" and the "Hagi Highway Hospitality Teahouse" where you can receive hospitality are also built along the road. I was able to experience the "hospitality" spirit of the local people, and it was very refreshing to walk. There are many rest facilities with toilets, which is rare for an old road, so you can feel at ease. This time, we will walk from the Karahi Fudaba ruins on the outskirts of Hagi Castle Town to Sasanami, but if you are a strong runner, I think it is quite possible to cover the entire distance from Hagi to Yamaguchi in one day. ---------------------------------------- [Time Code] ◆ Namidama Matsu: 3:44 ◆ Sakosaka Kago Kenba: 6:35 ◆ Hagi Expressway Exchange Facility: 12:05 ◆ Gomonzo Stone Pavement: 16:02 ◆ Ochiai Stone Bridge: 21:41 ◆ Sasanami: 23:43 ---------------------------------------- [Hagi Expressway] ◆ The Hagi Expressway is a lord's road that was created when Mori Terumoto was defeated as the general of the Western Army in the decisive Battle of Sekigahara and was exiled to Hagi on the Sea of ​​Japan side of Nagato by the Tokugawa Shogunate. It is also known that at the end of the Edo period, Choshu samurai traveled there frequently to gather information and learn the latest technology. ◆ Stone pavement is laid in many places, and even today it retains a strong trace of the past. In addition, the remains of the palanquin and teahouse, which were resting places for the lord, as well as the teardrop pine and poem monument associated with Yoshida Shoin, remain. Alongside the stone pavement, there are many other sights to see, such as stone tunnels and stone bridges, and there are also plenty of guide signs. ◆There are warning signs for bears, so be sure to bring a bell or whistle. With the exception of some areas such as Sarasaka and Isshodani, bus routes run parallel to the road, and JR buses run every 1-2 hours during the day, so you can escape in case of an emergency. The roads are very well maintained, and there were no dangerous spots on the course in the video. ------------------------ [Channel] @Walking and Traveling Japan [Ancient Roads Living in the Present] We want to follow the dirt roads as they were in the past as much as possible We want to walk with the same feelings as people in the past There are many things you can learn by actually walking them Even if they are introduced on the websites of city, town, village, local tourist associations, I think there is often a lack of information. We conduct thorough research and carefully select the roads before introducing them. ◆Operating company: Aster Vision Co., Ltd.
