    本通りにある土産物と地元の買い物が半々のような店でした。店の中は外からは見えないところまで陳列があり、思ったより広かったです。広島駅近くに宿泊していたので結局土産は広島駅であとで購入しましたが、紙屋町周辺宿泊ならこういうところでの土産物も悪くないかもしれないと思いました。

  • Miyoshi Doll Pottery
    Travel / Tourism
    Hiroshima Miyoshi-shi Tokaichi Minami 4-12-7
    This pottery doll studio is the only one of its kind in the prefecture. Located a five-minute drive from the Miyoshi Interchange on the Chugoku Expressway, the studio continues to create Miyoshi dolls, a traditional pottery doll characterized by cute and simple yet beautiful forms. Also notable for their distinctive luster, the history of Miyoshi dolls is said to extend back to around 1633 when the third lord of the domain, Asano Nagaharu, brought back a doll maker from Asakusa in Edo and gifted dolls to retainers when they had children. Because of their beautiful luster, they are also known as “Hikari” (“Light”) dolls. The dolls are an essential part of seasonal festivities in the area but the work of painting them is only conducted during the coldest part of the year, meaning visitors who come here in the winter up to early April can watch the painting being performed.

Hiroshima Areas

around-area-map

There is more than meets the eye awaiting any Hiroshima-bound traveler. Kicking off in Hiroshima city, the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Castle, and Shukkeien Garden offer a couple of days of exploring; however, the real beauty lies along the southern coast of the prefecture. There, a series of islands spreads across the Seto Inland Sea: from the mysterious sea-submerged Great Torii Gate at Miyajima Island to the first half of the islands that connect Honshu to Shikoku via six spectacular suspension bridges.
