In this immersive walking tour video captured by 街撮りch, viewers are taken on a serene journey through the heart of Yamaguchi Prefecture, focusing on Yamaguchi Station (山口駅) and its nearby areas. The journey began with a ferry trip from Yokosuka Port to Shin-Moji Port in Kitakyushu, followed by a re-entry into Honshu Island via the Kanmon Strait. The walking tour spans across Yamaguchi Prefecture from Shimonoseki to the central Yamaguchi City.

Yamaguchi Station is centrally located in the prefecture, making it a convenient transit point for exploring the region. However, the video notes that the station area itself is relatively quiet, with limited dining and nightlife options close by. For this reason, the walker made a side trip to Yuda Onsen, a well-known hot spring area just one station away. Yuda Onsen is popular for its traditional inns and relaxing atmosphere, providing both locals and tourists a satisfying blend of comfort and entertainment.

This Friday-night walk provides a look into the lifestyles of locals and possibly tourists as they enjoy the warm ambiance of the onsen area. Despite being a long walk between stations, it showcases how pedestrian-friendly the city remains and highlights the appeal of even lesser-known regional towns in Japan. The combination of cityscape, minimal lighting, and subtle activity gives viewers a charming window into rural nightlife in Japan.

The video was filmed using a DJI Osmo Pocket 3, ensuring smooth, high-quality footage throughout the nighttime exploration. Whether you're planning a trip to Yamaguchi or simply interested in the quieter vibes of non-metropolitan Japan, this video offers a calming and informative experience.
