Shimonoseki is a historic port city located at the southwestern tip of Honshu, Japan's main island. The city sits at the entrance of the Kanmon Straits, which separates Honshu from Kyushu, making it a strategically important location throughout Japanese history. Known for its seafood industry, particularly fugu (pufferfish), Shimonoseki has been a significant fishing port for centuries.
The city played a notable role in Japanese history, being the site of the Treaty of Shimonoseki (1895) which ended the First Sino-Japanese War. Today, Shimonoseki combines its maritime heritage with modern development, featuring historical sites such as the Akama Shrine, which commemorates the young Emperor Antoku, and the Chofu area with its samurai residences. The city's cultural landscape is enriched by its traditional markets, maritime museums, and annual festivals that celebrate its connection to the sea.
