    Travel / Tourism
    Hiroshima Kure-shi Shimokamagaricho Kaji Ke Hama Chiku-ku
    This agriculture, forestry, and fisheries activity facility is located adjacent to Kajigahama Beach, a beautiful stretch of white sand and green pines. Here you can make Hime Hijiki Salt, a natural variety of salt which contains an abundance of calcium and other minerals. This salt is made by hand by adding hime hijiki (hijiki seaweed buds) to natural seawater from Shimo-kamagari and boiling it to concentrate, which draws out the innate flavors of the ingredients used and results in a salt that has a mild and slightly sweet flavor. You can put your salt in a Hime Hijiki Salt plastic product bag to take home as a souvenir.

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.
