    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.

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.
