お出でませ 山口
Will this help?
It could also mean,
"Come to Yamaguchi', I guess.
or
おいでませ 山口

Japanese (when written in the Alphabet) is rather phonetic.
If you speak German or Spanish, read it as you would read either German or Spanish. (Only that ‘Y’ is not as strong as in Spanish. Oh! And ‘S’ is not pronounced as in ‘Z’. It’s clear.)
CAN ANYBODY HELP, PLEASE?

: "Oi" as in "OY!", "De" as in "Dell", "Ma" as in "Ma Ma", "Se" as in "Say". The Guchi in "Yamaguchi" pronounced like "Gucci" the fashion house. Hope this helps.

Welcome to Yamaguchi! OR Come and enjoy Yamaguchi!
You already have answer to your own question.
Other way to say this is to "Oide kudasai, Yamaguchi e".
To explain further .... "Oide" means "Please come".
"Oidemase" is not a standard Japanese, whereas "Irasshai mase" or "Oide kudasai" are more likely. I guess this expression is "Yamaguchi" dialect.
"Oide mase" must be a combination of the two.

One more variation:
Come and visit us in Yamaguchi!
On second thought, "Welcome Yamaguchi" may not be a correct answer, because the guest(s) may not be there yet.
This is a tourism promotional buzz words.
