Yamaguchi City, capital of Yamaguchi prefecture, is about 1 hour by train West of Hiroshima, the southern most tip of the main island of Japan. It is famous for its history (being the starting place of the Meiji Restoration) seafood (particularly blowfish), politicians (more prime ministers came from Yamaguchi than any other prefecture, including Tokyo), and being the prosperous "Kyoto of the West" due to its trade connections with the continent. As well as eight prime ministers, Yamaguchi was/is home to: poets Misuzu Kaneko and Chuuya Nakahara, Movide Director Yamada Youji (of "Torasan/Otoko wa Tsurai yo" fame), Field's prize mathematician Heisuke Hironaka, Uniqlo apparel stores, and comedian Atsushi Tamura of London Boots Ichigo Nigo among many others.

The map information is precise.

[timtak1]

@HeeHify It is not *sake* but something called " shouchuu" made mainly from wheat or potatoes, which I translate "Japanese vodka."

[timtak1]

Oh, right, that is why it is called a dear scarer.

Quick question:

If I bought a Japan kotatsu heater, would it work in the USA? Or would I need a transformer?
