    The blue sea and the white sandy beach will heal your heart. It is a popular spot for the best commercials on the drive.

  • Castle town mayor

    The castle town of the Chofu clan, which was established as a branch of the Choshu clan. The streets of Furue Koji, where the kneading walls continue, are full of taste. This area also includes Gong Yamadera Temple, which was launched by Takasugi Shinsaku, and the Shimonoseki City Museum of History, which contains materials from the late Tokugawa shogunate Restoration. By the way, Mohri Garden in Roppongi Hills is the place where the residence of the Chofu clan was located.
