    Setoda Town, Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture
    Ikuchi-jima Island, one of the Geiyo Islands, is an island that boasts the largest production of lemons in Japan, and where cultivation of citrus fruits is prosperous. There are many places of interest such as The Hill of Hope, a garden made of chalk marble, Hirayama Ikuo Museum of Art and Bell Kant Hall, where musicians renowned in Japan and overseas are invited to have concerts. Sightseeing by cycling is also recommended as there are many flat roads.

On the other hand, it is also known as the island of Go because it is the home of Honinbo Shusaku, a Go player who represents Japan. Materials relating to Honinbo Shusaku and Go are exhibited at the Honinbo Shusaku Go Memorial Hall.

    It is a rocky mountain 226.9 meters above sea level that is located in Innoshima in Onomichi City. It is known to be one of the foremost viewpoints among the Shimanami Sea Route, and from the top of the mountain there is a 360-degree outlook to the Innoshima-ohashi Bridge and surrounding islands. Also on the top of the mountain is the Kannon temple built by Yoshimitsu Murakami, the 6th generation owner of the Innoshima Murakami Navy. The 700 stone figures of Buddha made by Denroku Kashihara, the founder of the Ikkankyo religion and his disciples are a highlight.

  • Mt. Takami National Park
    Travel / Tourism
    Hiroshima Pref. Onomichishi Mukaishimachou Takamiyama
    This 283-meter-high mountain is a designated National Park. It's famous for the pirate Murakami Fleet lookout tower on the peak, which offers a 360 degree view of the Innoshima Bridge and the islands of the Seto Inland Sea. You can drive to the top, but we recommend walking the Seto no Utamichi trail leading up from the Tachibana Shizen Katsuyo Mura, which is lined with poem-inscribed stones to offer some literature with your walk.

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.
