Shimanami Kaido MAP

Onomichi

Onomichi is a hill town with a nostalgic appearance, where the old townscape remains. It is also known as a filming location for Nobuhiko's films. Why don't you walk along the slopes and alleys and think back to a scene from a movie?

Shimanami Kaido

The Shimanami Kaido, which connects Onomichi and Imabari City in Ehime Prefecture, is a bridge that takes you around six unique islands.
You can cross it by bicycle or on foot, so take a leisurely stroll while feeling the Setochi breeze.

Kurashiki

The townscape of Kurashiki 's Bikan Historical Quarter, Honmachi and Higashimachi still retains a strong sense of old-fashioned atmosphere.
There are also many hidden gems dotted along the backstreets. Go out and find your own "Kurashiki".

Tomonoura

Tomonoura was a place where Kitamae ships would dock and prospered as a "port for waiting for the tide." Enjoy fresh seafood dishes that can only be found in a port town while taking in the magnificent view of Sensuijima Island, which is said to make even hermits drunk.

It has an area of 153.2 km2 and coastline of 125.7 km. Some sources state that Shozu District has an area of 170 km2. The highest peak is Mount Hoshigajo at 817 m, making it the tallest mountain among the islands in the Seto Inland Sea. Azukishima is divided into Azukishima Motojima and Maejima by the world's narrowest strait, the Dofuchi Strait, and is currently connected by three bridges and one park.

The battleship Yamato is the world's largest battleship, built in secrecy Dec. 1941 at the Kure Naval Arsenal (a factory directly under the control of the navy) as a culmination of cutting-edge technology at the time. The 1/10 scale model of the battleship Yamato speaks to future generations of the importance of peace and the wonder of science and technology.

Mihara

Mihara City is located almost in the center of Hiroshima Prefecture along the coast of the Seto Inland Sea and is blessed with a warm climate typical of the region. It serves as a key transportation hub, with the JR Sanyo Line, the Kure Line, ferries to the islands of Setouchi, and Hiroshima Airport in Hongocho. The view of the islands in the Seto Inland Sea is magnificent, and on clear days, you can even see the Shikoku Mountains. The photo shows the Shimanami as seen from Ryuo.

Bitchu Matsuyama Castle

The large castle tower, an important cultural property, is a multi-tiered structure with three floor and one basement, and was completed the year after the arrival of the Black Ships. It is the last complete castle structure of the Edo period. It is also the only one of the 12 surviving Tsuiki towers to have the Imperial Aoi crest on its roof tiles, as a sign of its master's construction. The large castle tower, Oama and corner tower are connected by corridors, and this group of castle tower structures, which were dedicated to military armaments, is said to be a typical example of a joint-style castle.
