Yanai: Red Goldfish Lanterns, Sweet Soy Sauce & White-Walled Food Walking Tour

A full-day food-walking course through Yanai, Yamaguchi Prefecture, where white-walled merchant houses line the streets and local specialties abound. Welcomed by red goldfish lanterns swaying from the eaves, explore the historic town streets, then visit a brewing warehouse to learn about sweet soy sauce—a rich, doubly-fermented specialty. The sweet soy sauce soft-serve ice cream, available only at the brewery, is a must-try for any food lover. In the afternoon, try your hand at painting goldfish lanterns at Yanai Nishi-Gura, then take an afternoon sweet break at Kashino-Ki Souhonten, known for "Egg Found on the Moon" and other fresh-baked treats. End the day with a leisurely walk through the flower fields of Yamaguchi Flower Land. A perfect day for gourmet wandering: savoring soy sauce's fragrant depth, sweet confections, and retro town charm all in one experience.
