Okunoshima Beach

An island with a circumference of about 4.3 km. The beach is narrow, but the water is very clear. In addition to accommodations, there are well-equipped facilities such as walking paths, cycling roads, an outdoor pool, and a campground. The island is home to numerous rabbits. Additionally, the sight of sea fireflies drifting in the pitch-black sea at night, emitting blue light, is enchanting.

Senbei Honpo Kuroda

A century-old establishment. The specialty, Chuko Iwa Senbei, is a simple-flavored ginger rice cracker. They are handmade every day. 600 yen for a box containing three bags of two pieces each.

The Near End of the Kamaboko

A kamaboko specialty shop established in the early Showa period, loved by locals. The original matsukasa tempura at 80 yen (4 pieces for 320 yen) is an irresistible dish with the crunch of finely chopped onions. If you go in the morning, you can enjoy freshly fried hot ones on the spot. The "Takehara sake kasu tempura" (2 pieces for 280 yen), made with sake lees from three local breweries, is also popular as a souvenir (sake kasu tempura is produced irregularly).

Katsura Beach

A white-sand coast and green pine forest that was also selected for "100 Japanese Shirasuna Aomatsu" and "100 Japanese Nagisa", spread almost in the center of Kurahashi town. There are also a monument featuring songs contained in the Man'yōshū, the remains of Japan's oldest Western-style dock, the Katsura-bin Shrine, whose main shrine is designated as a national important cultural monument, and the Shipbuilding and History Hall of Nagato, which displays the restored Tang-Japanese ship. In addition, at the nearby Katsurahama Onsen Hall, you can enjoy spacious inner baths, various whirlpools, and street stalls using the source as it is.

Night Light

It is located right next to the Iroha Maru Exhibition Building and is a symbol of Tomonoura, which served as a lighthouse to mark the entrance of the harbor during the Edo period. It is also known as the lantern tower, which is lit at night and has a feeling of wind.

Mount Takamiyama

The mountain at an altitude of 283m in the Seto Inland Sea National Park, which used to be a lookout for the Murakami Army, so you can see the Inashima Ohashi and the Seto islands, and if it is sunny, as far as Shikoku. It is also famous as a cherry blossom spot.
