Tomonoura

Tomonoura is located almost in the center of the Seto Inland Sea coast, where Kitamae ships would dock and prospered as a "port for waiting for the tide." The historic townscape and the beautiful scenery of the Seto Inland Sea have been the setting for many movies and anime. Sensuijima, a five-minute boat ride from Tomonoura, is a mysterious island where ancient nature still thrives, and its name comes from the fact that it is "so beautiful that even a hermit would be intoxicated." At night, the temple on Bentenjima is lit up, creating a fantastic atmosphere. Enjoy fresh seafood dishes that are unique to a port town while looking out over the beautiful islands and sea.

Since the Meiji period, Kure city has developed as a naval base, and the city center is dotted with streets and historical sites that retain the atmosphere of those times. The Yamato Museum, which has been popular since its opening, conveys the history of Kure, the importance of peace, and the wonder of science and technology. At the adjacent Iron Whale Museum, you can see the inside of a real retired submarine, and the Kure Bay Ship Tour is also popular in Kure Bay. If you go a little further, you can see various scenes of the Seto Inland Sea, such as the Tobishima Kaido, which connects seven islands with seven bridges, Ondo Seto, which has two crimson bridges, and Kurahashi, the village of Manyo. How about Kure JMSDF curry for lunch and fresh fish from the Seto Inland Sea for dinner?

Experience the mysterious and magical power of the "Iwaya Megalith"

When it comes to power spots in Hiroshima, the mysterious Itsukushima Shrine is famous, but there are actually many lucky stone spots as well.
Among them, the Iwaya Megalith near Shimanami Kaido has been a sacred place of megalith worship since ancient times. You can see the morning sun and the evening sun between the two halves of the megalith.
Apparently, if you draw a line connecting the points where the rising and setting sun on the winter and summer solstices intersect, as can be seen from the Iwaya Megalith, it forms a regular hexagon. As it is too well-formed to be by chance, it is said to have been created artificially. It is mysterious to think that the stones were moved in accordance with the movement of the sun in an era when astronomy and technology were not yet developed. Why not experience the mystical and mysterious power of the Iwaya Megalith?

Enjoy using the Miyajima Shamoji

Hiroshima Prefecture is home to many traditional crafts, including Miyajima ware, paper mache, and Onomichi canvas.
Among them is the Miyajima Shamoji, a famous souvenir.
The reason why "shamoji" became a Miyajima craft item in the first place is said to be that about 200 years ago, a monk named Komyoin who lived in Miyajima met Benzaiten in a dream. It is said that Miyajima shamoji began when Komyoin made one out of a sacred tree, based on the shape of the biwa (Japanese lute) that Benzaiten carried. Later, it was said that Miyajima shamoji would bring good fortune to those who used them, and they became famous as lucky charms.
The traditional craftsmanship of making rice scoops is now being used to create new items such as spoons, plates, coasters, etc., which are gaining in popularity. With their reliable craftsmanship and the ability to fit comfortably in the hand, and the wide variety of arrangements, we have a feeling they will become a popular souvenir.
