Your Experience
The Hagi City Sightseeing 2-Day Pass is a flexible, great-value pass covering four of Hagi City's most rewarding cultural experiences across two days — Bicycle Rental, the historic Kikuya Residence, Hagi Meirin Gakusha, and a seasonal choice between the Hagi Scenic Boat Cruise or Kimono Style Café. Located in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Hagi is one of Japan's most beautifully preserved UNESCO World Heritage castle towns, its samurai-era streets and Bakumatsu heritage offering an authentically immersive encounter with pre-Meiji Japan.
Each included experience complements the others naturally — rental bicycles unlock the city's historic streets and coastal scenery at a personal pace, the Kikuya Residence reveals the elegance of a preserved merchant family estate within the World Heritage zone, and Hagi Meirin Gakusha's Bakumatsu Museum brings the city's pivotal role in the Meiji Restoration to life. The optional seasonal choice between a scenic river and sea boat cruise or an intimate kimono and matcha café experience adds a final personal dimension to the two-day itinerary.
The pass is valid until March 31, 2027, available for same-day purchase, and redeemed simply by presenting a QR code at the Hagi Tourist Information Center at 602 Emukai between 09:00 and 17:00. Note that the Boat Cruise and Kimono Style Café are an either-or inclusion, with the boat cruise suspended December through February.
