Eda Island

It is an island floating within Hiroshima Bay, and together with the land-continuous Nomi Island, it is the city of Edajima. It is known that there is a former Naval Academy (currently the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force 1st Technical School and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Division Candidate School), which was counted as one of the world's three major military schools until the end of World War II. You can enjoy marine sports, cycling and hiking, and in winter you can taste oyster dishes at meals in various places on the island. Before and after sightseeing in the island, there is the Edajima Tourism Association, which provides tourist information, so let's stop at the hometown exchange hall where you can buy souvenirs such as specialty items and take a break.
