創業100年のパン屋さん。なんといってもご主人のおばちゃんの人柄がいい。非常に気さくで話好きで本当に自分のおばあちゃんと話してるようで気分が和む。それだけでも行く価値あり。パンはアンパン、ねじりパン、メロンパンの3種類とサイダー、ラムネが購入できます。このサイダーもいいです。ラムネも買いたかったけどサイダーもラムネも結構な値段なので断念。なんか懐かしく心がなごむよいお店です。

Kaneyoshi Bus Stop

Transportation

Hiroshima Onomichi-shi Mukaishimacho Kaneyoshi

This bus shelter is located next to the Onomichi Ferry dock on the northern tip of Mukaishima Island. The shelter was originally used as the waiting area for the Yobuko-maru ferry in the director Nobuhiko Obayashi’s film “Goodbye for Tomorrow” released in 1995; the structure was then moved here. Local residents asked for it to be kept intact and put to actual use, and the wooden building seems to exude an aura engendered by this sentiment. The white-walled building is also decorated with small items actually used in the film, as well as an old-fashioned life preserver and a map of the fictional island depicted in the film which was created for the movie.

Visitors are also recommended to see a Chinese juniper tree on the grounds which has grown into an extremely unusual and beautiful shape; over 650 years old, the tree has been designated a Natural Monument by the prefecture. In most years, the temple holds a Nehan-e memorial service for Gautama Buddha on the last Sunday in March, and during this event the grounds bustle with visitors.
Shiomachi Shopping Street

Shopping

Hiroshima Onomichi-shi Setodacho Setoda

This shopping street connects Setoda Port and the Kousanji Temple. The 600-meter-long retro shopping street is lined with over 50 establishments. The old-fashioned shopping street experienced new life after it began being featured in SNS posts by cyclists riding the Nishiseto Expressway. An atmosphere reminiscent of Japan’s bygone Showa period still hangs in the air here; a sign over the entrance to the street states “Welcome to the cyclist oasis.” Shiomachitei is a cafe and bar operating out of a traditional Japanese home building about 200 meters from the Setoda Port-side entrance, and it is a famous rest and maintenance spot for cyclists because cyclists are allowed to bring their bicycles into the establishment.

Hiroshima Areas

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.
