City Overview
Miyajima, where the beautiful Itsukushima Shrine stands on the sea, is one of the three views of Japan and is visited by many tourists as a world cultural heritage. At Hiroshima Town, which is also home to the World Heritage site Atomic Bomb Dome and Peace Memorial Park, you want to taste the specialty oysters and okonomiyaki. Onomichi, which leads up the slope, is a town that has been the setting for movies and literature. We also recommend the ride on the Chikojiyama Ropeway, which offers a panoramic view of the city. It is also a departure and arrival point on the Honshu side of the Setouchi Shimanami Kaido.
