    Hiroshima Pref. Takeharashi Honmachi 3
    This Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings is located in Honmachi, Takehara City. Long ago, Takehara prospered as a manor of Kyoto's Shimogamo Shrine. It would later experience great economic growth during the Edo period with the development of the salt farm and cargo vessel industry. Visitors can truly feel the atmosphere of this ancient town from the Edo, Meiji, Taisho, and Showa-period buildings that still line its streets.

    Hiroshima Pref. Kureshi Yutakamachimitarai
    This is a town chosen as the country’s Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, located on Osakishimojima Island. It is an area that flourished as a lodging place on the Seto Inland Sea route, and many buildings built from Edo to the early Showa period remain. The cityscape still with the Edo period atmosphere is striking. There are many places to visit such as a tea house that is once said to have had 100 harlots in its prime, a modern theater from the early Showa period called “Virgo” and a stone lantern Takatouro that conveys the prosperity of the Mitarai.

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.
