We strolled around the Hagi Castle Ruins and then the old castle town. The town was well-preserved. There were several houses along the street related to heros, like Takasugi Shinsaku, Kido Takayoshi and so on, of the Meiji Restoration. I learned much in the museum of the city and felt the breath of the Meiji Restoration. Next, we visited Shoukason-juku, a private school run by Yoshida Shoin. Lots of young men learned at this juku (school) and some of them became the leaders of Japan. I was overwhelmed by its poorness and forgot to take pictures.
