My name is Raina Ong and I'm going on an adventure.

我是 Raina Ong，我要去展開一場冒險囉！

This is Honshu, Japan's main and largest island.

這裡是本州，日本最大、最主要的島嶼。

進階形容詞比較級句型

Most travelers stick to the middle part, Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and maybe go as far as Hiroshima.

大部分的旅客都只待在中部地區，像是東京、京都、大阪，可能最多到廣島。

But today I want to tell you why you should go even further west.

但今天我要告訴你，為什麼你應該再往西邊走更遠。

The place that I'm visiting is known as the Kyoto of the West.

我這次要去的地方，有「西之京都」的美稱。

It's got the atmosphere, the culture, the history, just without the crowds.

這裡有氣氛、有文化、有歷史，而且沒有擁擠的人潮。

The region is also different in the best way.

這個地區以一種很棒的方式，展現出它的不同。

It's got massive limestone caves, wide open karst fields, and

這裡有巨大的石灰岩洞穴、廣闊的喀斯特地形，還有

it's also home to Japan's most famous pufferfish cuisine.

這裡也是日本最著名的河豚料理的故鄉。

My journey takes me to Yamaguchi Prefecture, right at the western edge of Honshu.

我的旅程將帶我去到本州最西邊的山口縣。

On day one, I'll explore Yamaguchi City and its Kyoto inspired streets.

第一天，我會探索山口市和它充滿京都風格的街道。

On day two, I'll head underground into Japan's largest limestone cave.

第二天，我會深入日本最大的石灰岩洞穴。

And on the final day, I'll travel to Shimonoseki, the fugu capital, before walking under the sea to end my trip in Kyushu.

最後一天，我會前往河豚之都下關，然後潛入海底，在九州結束我的旅程。

And we start right here in Yamaguchi City.

Yamaguchi City has been on my list of places to go ever since I read about it in the New York Times 52 places to visit article.

自從在《紐約時報》的「52個旅遊地點」文章中讀到山口市後，它就一直在我必去清單上。

Now it's my first time here, so let's go check it out together.

現在是我第一次來這裡，讓我們一起去看看吧。

Okay, but before I dive into sightseeing, let me quickly introduce Yamaguchi's history.

好的，但在我開始觀光之前，讓我快速介紹一下山口的歷史。

Its westernmost location played to its advantage, far enough from Kyoto to be independent and close to the sea to trade in every direction.

它最西邊的地理位置對它很有利，離京都足夠遠而能獨立，又離海足夠近，可以四通八達地進行貿易。

這吸引了許多有權勢的領主在此定居。

And by the 15th century century, it had grown so important that it became known as the Kyoto of the West.

到了十五世紀，它變得如此重要，以至於被稱為「西方的京都」。

And behind me is the guy who made this possible when he established his base here.

而在我身後這位，就是當年在這裡建立根據地的關鍵人物。

He deliberately modeled Yamaguchi after Kyoto, turning it into a political and cultural center.

他刻意將山口模仿京都，讓這裡成為政治和文化中心。

The city is easily accessible by train, about an hour from Hiroshima or two and a half from Osaka.

搭火車來這裡很方便，從廣島大約一小時，從大阪則要兩小時半。

And you can do it as a day trip from either cities if you're short on time.

如果時間緊迫，從這兩個城市當天來回也辦得到。

But I definitely recommend staying the night and slowing down to enjoy the less visited area.

但我強烈建議在這裡過夜，放慢腳步，好好享受這個比較少人去的地方。

The standouts in the city are the calm and casual atmosphere, friendly inhabitants, and

這座城市最吸引人的地方，就是那份寧靜悠閒的氛圍、友善的居民，還有

This is the Ichinosaka River, Yamaguchi's version of the Kamogawa, the big river that runs through central Kyoto.

這邊是「一之坂川」，就像是京都中央那條大河「鴨川」的山口版本。

These cherry trees look a little bare right now, but come spring gonna be so beautiful.

現在櫻花樹看起來有點稀疏，但春天來的時候，這裡會美得不得了。

Cafes and restaurants can be found along the river, which leads me to this cabin, cute restaurant behind me serving Kawara soba, a Yamaguchi specialty.

沿著河邊有咖啡廳和餐廳，這也讓我來到這間小屋，我身後這間可愛的餐廳賣著瓦片蕎麥麵，是山口的特色料理。

This is a kawara or a ceramic roof towel.

And it gets heated up till it's really hot so it can act like a hot plate.

它會加熱到非常燙，就像一個熱盤一樣。

The noodles are then placed on top so that you get nice textures.

然後把麵放在上面，這樣你就能吃到很棒的口感。

Crispy at the bottom, but soft and chewy in the middle.

The way to eat Kawara soba is the first bite you have is just of the noodles itself.

吃瓦片蕎麥麵的方式是，第一口先單吃麵。

And the next mouthful I'm gonna try dipping.

I like the soba better than the regular soba.

我覺得這個瓦片蕎麥麵比一般的蕎麥麵好吃。

I don't know how they do it, but every mouthful has been like better than the previous one.

我不知道他們是怎麼做到的，但每一口都比上一口更好吃。

這是我吃過最棒的瓦片蕎麥麵了。

You can't come to Yamaguchi and not visit its most famous symbol and national treasure, Rurikoji Temple's five story pagoda.

來山口縣一定要參觀最著名的地標和國寶——瑠璃光寺的五重塔。

And of course, that's where I'm heading to after lunch.

當然，午餐後我就要往那裡去了。

This pagoda was built in 1442 as a memorial for one of the celebrated lords of the ruling family.

這座寶塔建於1442年，是為了紀念一位統治家族的傳奇領主而建。

Now it was also recently renovated, a first in 70 years.

它最近也重新整修過，是70年來的第一次。

This five story pagoda is also considered one of the three most beautiful pagodas in Japan, alongside the ones at Horyuji Temple in Nara and Daigoji Temple in Kyoto.

這座五層寶塔也被認為是日本三大美塔之一，另外兩座分別是奈良法隆寺和京都醍醐寺的寶塔。

Inside the Treasure House, they've got models of other five storey pagodas from across Japan and I'm gonna see how many I've visit.

在寶物館裡，他們展示了日本各地其他五層寶塔的模型，我來看看我參觀過多少。

So I think I've done 16 to 17 of all the pagodas displayed here.

所以我想我參觀過這裡展示的寶塔裡面的16到17座了。

There are other historical sites in the city.

But I'm gonna get started towards my accommodation for tonight.

不過我得先去今晚住的地方了。

Instead of walking back the way I came, I'm going via the former government buildings this time.

這次我沒有走原路回去，而是繞道經過以前的政府建築。

Well, looks like my walk led me to a coffee shop.

嗯，看來我的散步帶我來到一家咖啡廳。

And I'm not going to complain about having a coffee break.

我當然不會抱怨有個咖啡小憩時間。

It's about 30 minutes on foot from the cafe to my accommodation in Yamaguchi's hot spring district, Yuda Onsen.

從咖啡廳走到山口的溫泉區，也就是湯田溫泉，大約要走30分鐘。

There are about five foot baths in Yuda Onsen and this for me is the prettiest one.

湯田溫泉大約有五個足湯，這個是我覺得最漂亮的。

When you're in Yuda Onsen, you're going to be seeing lots of foxes like these over here.

來到湯田溫泉，你會看到很多像這邊這樣的狐狸。

Well, the reason is a long time ago an injured white fox bathed in the waters and was healed.

好的，原因是因為很久以前有隻受傷的白狐在這裡泡水後就痊癒了。

And people begin to know about the healing properties of the water.

然後大家就知道這裡的水有療效。

然後，你知道的，之後就變成這樣了。

There are six foot baths that are free to use in Yuda Onsen and a number of hot spring accommodations in the compact town to enjoy a leisurely bath.

湯田溫泉有六個免費的足湯，鎮上也有不少溫泉旅館可以讓你泡個舒服的澡。

Whenever you visit a hot spring area, it's always a good idea to bring a small towel so that you can enjoy the free foot baths and then dry your feet before putting on your shoes.

每次去溫泉區，最好都帶條小毛巾，這樣你就可以泡免費足湯，然後擦乾腳再穿鞋。

A hot spring bath awaits me at my hotel, so I bid you goodnight and see you tomorrow.

我飯店還有溫泉浴等著我，所以晚安，明天見。

Can you tell I'm really excited to see the Akiyoshidai Plateau?

看得出來我真的很期待秋吉臺嗎？

Charlie, thank you for putting up with my energy.

The reason I'm so excited is that the Akiyoshidai Quasi national park is home to the largest limestone cave and karst landscape in Japan.

我之所以這麼興奮，是因為秋吉臺國定公園擁有日本最大的石灰岩洞穴和喀斯特地形。

Akiyoshi do the massive limestone cave and Akiyoshidai, the plateau above it.

秋吉臺有巨大的石灰岩洞穴和上方的秋吉臺高原。

The temperature in the cave stays at around 17 degrees Celsius all year round, making it nice and cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

洞穴裡的溫度全年都保持在攝氏17度左右，夏天很涼爽，冬天很溫暖。

And because it's a cave, it's perfect to visit even when it's raining like today.

而且因為是洞穴，就算像今天這樣下雨天也很適合來參觀。

This is one of the largest limestone caves in Japan.

這是日本最大的石灰岩洞穴之一。

Hey, look, that's the Mount Fuji of the caves.

嘿，你看，這就是洞穴裡的富士山。

This is the start of the adventure course.

So I walk here, go up and then down those stairs back to the entrance.

所以我會走到這裡，上去，然後從樓梯下來回到入口。

While the view of the cave from here is pretty nice.

從這裡看洞穴的景色還挺不錯的。
