    Hiroshima Pref. Onomichishi Setodachoutarumi
    This beach is located in the Seaside Sport Park in Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, and has almost 800 meters of white sand beach along with crystal clear waters, leading it to be chosen as one of Japan’s top 88 beaches. There are shower facilities, locker rooms and restaurants on site. The beach is a famous location to watch the sunset and draws large crowds. It is open from July to August every year.
  • Hishio Beach Clamming
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Hiroshima Onomichi-shi Mukaishimacho 20074-7
    Hishio Beach is a wide and shallow swimming beach popular with families, and it is also one of the top clamming spots in the city. From April through June, visitors can gather up to 1.5 kilograms of clams on specified days. This limit can also be increased in units of 100 grams by paying an extra fee. Clamming in bare feet is prohibited, so be sure to bring some long boots. The beach is replete with a free parking area and toilets but does not rent clam-digging tools, so remember to bring a bucket, work gloves, and any other necessary items. As you’ll also need to bring back some seawater, a large, empty PET bottle will also come in handy.

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.
