Top 50 things to do and attractions in Fukuyama

A Park Where Stillness Speaks Tucked away from the city’s rhythm, this park doesn’t ask for attention—it offers quiet instead. Shaded paths, gentle water, and the hush of wind through leaves create a space where your thoughts can slow down and settle. It’s not grand, not crowded—just calm. A place where time stretches, and silence feels like a companion. If you’re looking for peace, not spectacle, this is where you’ll find it.

Lovely relaxing spot to visit. There were very few people there when we visited mid-week. Took a bus to and from Fukuyama station, which took about 40mins. There are plenty of places to eat and drink nearby and lots of other interesting places to visit within walking distance.

Calm and secluded area. Very quiet fishing port, bus ride is definitely long enough for you to catch a short nap from hiroshima station. Shops was mostly closed when I went not sure if there was any special occasion and most shops were closed during the day. But a few restaurants are opened, definitely do try them out!

Highly recommending Tomonoura for anyone who loves sunsets, sea, and slow moments. I found peace in this little port town. 💙🏝️

A good weekend visits or even a night stay at this beautiful town by the bay.

A very pleasant, small fishing town on the Seto Inland Sea

Fall in love with this small yet important and charming city!

Fukuyama Castle – A Rebuilt Legacy with Panoramic Views Located just a short walk from Fukuyama Station in Hiroshima Prefecture, Fukuyama Castle is a striking reminder of Japan’s feudal past. Though much of the original structure was lost during World War II, the main keep (tenshukaku) has been carefully reconstructed and stands today as a proud symbol of the city’s history, resilience, and cultural heritage. Originally built in 1622 by Mizuno Katsunari, a cousin of Tokugawa Ieyasu, Fukuyama Castle was a strategically important stronghold during the Edo period. Its reconstruction in 1966 restored much of its former glory, and recent renovations have further enhanced the experience for visitors. The elegant white façade of the keep, flanked by stone walls and cherry trees, is especially beautiful during spring when the blossoms bloom across the castle grounds. Inside, the castle houses a museum offering exhibits on the local samurai culture, weaponry, armor, and the castle’s own tumultuous history. Displays are modern and informative, with English signage available for most exhibits. From the top floor, panoramic views stretch out over Fukuyama city and the surrounding area, offering a lovely reward for the climb. The surrounding Fukuyama Castle Park is a favorite among locals for walking, picnicking, and seasonal festivals. It’s especially popular during cherry blossom season, when the area transforms into a lively and photogenic hanami spot. Fukuyama Castle may not have the same name recognition as Himeji or Osaka, but it offers a quieter, more local experience steeped in history and charm. For travelers exploring the Chugoku region—or anyone passing through Fukuyama—it’s well worth a stop.

What a beautiful castle. Wasn’t crowded at all. The interior is surprisingly updated with an elevator and air conditioning. Lots of nice displays and the huge garden is absolutely fantastic. Koi ponds, huge statues and bonsai. Definitely worth visiting if you’re headed towards Himeji which is about 40 minutes away by Shinkansen. Castle is white in the front and black in the rear. Nice place!

Stunning castle in Fukuyama, worth the trip. Inside there is a small shooting gallery, sort of.

Even though the original castle was destroyed during the bombing campaign during ww2, the wall sections were mostly spared and the castle itself rebuilt. It's the more museum type castle, as is the case for any non original castle. There are exhibits inside that have some English and videos that have subtitles. I felt that there was enough english to let you know what was going on and not feel like you're totally lost. They have two interactive game type things in there: One where you ride an animatronic horse through the castle (racing game) and the other where you shoot a matchlock rifle to hit a virtual target. I seemed to be the only person to participate while I was there. Overall, not very busy castle and it wasn't crowded at all. They say you visited Fukuyama castle if you took the train, since technically the station is on the original castle grounds, but why not make a stop here and see the full thing?

Fukuyama Castle is a beautiful and historic site that you should definitely visit. The castle's construction is impressive. Whenever you're in the area, make sure to go and enjoy exploring this remarkable piece of history!

Wow, what a beautiful castle. I'm so glad I took the time to go to Fukuyama. Beautiful castle full of beautiful rooms and amazing culture. The top of the castle with such amazing views... wow!! Definitely a place to visit. The garden right next door to the castle is absolutely breathtaking. Definitely go see both!

Lovely spot to visit, didn’t have time to check out the inside but wandering around and taking in the castle & gardens was very pleasant.

Enchanting! A must-visit temple whenever you are in the southern part of Fukuyama.. one of my best cycling experiences.. on top of a cliff with a fantastic view all around!

Great little Shrine.

Small temple but good view. Suggest to go here during week days because fewer visitors.

Pls don't visit this remote location unless you have a private transport. The bus only travel couple of times a day. And you be stuck in a remote location that take 2hrs to travel and 5mins to visit. The shrine is quite unique but I feel a total visit of time. Not worth the travel.

Few buses if you plan to do day tour. The bus passes every 50mins or 1hr It’s worth the visit. 100 yen to enter Peaceful great history and awesome views

It’s breathtaking! Love it.

Tiny peaceful place !

A funky little museum covering mostly cars and then clocks after. Was fun being able to get into the cars as well, seeing how uncomfortable and difficult to get they were back in history. The odd few wax models of particular characters there. I’d say worth going if you’re really into cars, otherwise won’t be much time spent here.

Wild I came upon this place by chance just randomly looking on Google maps. Never heard of it before, but so glad I made the walk over. They have a bit of everything old and vintage. Cars, planes, military equipment, old machinery, clocks, etc. The best part is that they let you interact with the exhibits. Machines can be cranked and cars can be sat in. Their phamplet says they believe that history should be interacted with and not be something left in the past. Will things get worn out quicker? Almost certainly. But it definitely was an amazing experience being able to actually sit in the driver's seat. Definitely a must do in fukuyama!

Truly impressive! Hopped a quick shin from iwakuni to Fukuyama, walked about 10 minutes and literally found myself in heaven! As an amateur horologist, aviation and automobile enthusiast this place is like a mini mecca! First off photos do not do the collection size justice. The amount of antique clocks, watches, pocket watches, pianos, toys, phones, fuel pumps, vehicles, rocking horses, machines, airplanes, and motorcycles is mind blowing. A lifetime of incredible collecting for the average Joe to go and enjoy. These cars are not locked away. If you can fit in them or on them, you're welcome enter the vehicles and sit on the motorcycles and even sit in the airplane!! My son was over the moon while I was blown away by the amount of history and rarity at my fingertips. Honestly, it is one of the best museums I have visited in Japan and absolutely worth the trip. Short walk from the train station and lots to do and see in the area. Only 900 yen to enter for adults and worth ever yen! Can easily spend over an hour without even trying. Great photo opportunities in every nook and cranny of the museum, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable talking to me about the owner and items in the museum (when she had a spare moment). I will be going back again just to enjoy this collection before I leave Japan. Go, enjoy, and support this incredible collection of history!!!!

I set this museum as today’s cycling destination. The collection includes automobiles, clocks, and aircraft from earlier times. Personally, I especially enjoy seeing the cars — it’s fascinating to imagine how people used to drive back then. The numerous clocks on the wall were also quite impressive.

A must visit when you are in the area! I’m glad to see a Japanese rendition of an oldtimer museum The staff is friendly and there is a great gift shop! Elvis was also present 🕺

Excellent museum with lots of old unique cars and clocks. Easy to find. About a 20 minute walk from Fukuyama Station going past Fukuyama Castle. Much bigger than I expected with lots of cars and buses in display on the road on either side of the museum.

A VERY large variety of antiques and collectibles, beyond just clocks and automobiles. Definitely recommend going and giving yourself well over an hour, and you can also open and even sit inside of most vehicles (depending on how large you are, as I had a few bumps trying to go in and out at 5’11”/180cm). Extremely nice and helpful staff. If you’re interested in history at all, definitely go, as there are little corners with different bits of history tucked away throughout the buildings (and other vehicles/ultralights outdoors).

I love the Rides❣️❣️❣️ I went again at winter some rides are closed due to the weather conditions! I recommending you to come at spring or sumer🔥🔥🔥

It took 30 minutes by bus from Fukuyama station. It is a bit difficult to go there during normal day. But during holiday, they have direct bus. It is small compare to universal studios or desney resort. I love the dinosaur park. It look like real dinosaur. The water park open during summer only.

Amusement park and swimming 🏊‍♀️ pool. Place to enjoy summer and like wise nice to visit and see their illumination at winter ❄️

My kids enjoyed it . I suggest you go there earlier so you can enjoy all the rides.

It's a really small amusement park but really fun for the kids! Also my husband and I really enjoyed it! We would definitely go back if it was closer to our house. The ladies that work at the pasta and pizza shop are not very nice or friendly. It's quite small so the hours that it's open are perfect to spend a fun day!

If going during the off season, you can just drive right there and enter. During the weekday of the off season, rides were open and the staff was super friendly. Many shops and restaurant spots were closed. The Orange pool area looked to be fun. It will open in a week or two.

Did not know we had to pay 3000 if we used one table. Other then that, the water park was decent.

I love museum 🖼️🎨

Nice place ….

Nice view 🌅

Nice area

Nice building ok exhibition

Got accused of taking photos when I was just Google searching information about the paintings because the information under the paintings is only in Japanese. that was a really disappointing experience and a huge vibe kill.

The selection and order of the art was great, the art itself was exquisite. So many paintings with stories and immense detail. I loved trying to understand each one. The best art museum I've been too

This is the upper side of the cable car with access to the temple. Very nice view from the observatory.

If there is space available, RVs can also be parked in the bus parking lot near the cable car station. The staff at the ropeway reception were incredibly kind and gave us very helpful advice. It’s really fun to take the ropeway one way up from the foot of the mountain and then walk back down through the slopes

The short cable car (Ropeway) ride to the top felt safe and well managed. The view is quite spectacular and well worth taking the time to experience. It was not crowded and a very short queue to get tickets (return is cheaper than 2 x 1 way)

If you are able, I would walk up the various paths up to the rope way, if not the RT fare was under ¥1000 per person. Highly advise taking the side streets up as there are cats, drawings of cats and cat photos everywhere

We chose to ride the rope way up and walk back. We left around 10am and we’re back in an hour. The ropeway car took around 30 people. It’s a scenic view if you can get a window seat. The walk down passed the temple with lots of lookout spots.

I traveled Onomichi a few times. Lots of vintage houses are built on a steep hills which make this city view very special. It's located in eastern Hiroshima prefcture and there is a port. Somehow, lots of street cats are popular too. If you are not confident to climb up steep hills, there is a Senkoji temple mountain ropeway which take you from the bottom to the top. It's worth to visit. :))

Beautiful views from the viewing area at the top, magical walk down, highly recommend!

(Translated by Google) A very nice little place to rest in sunny weather, I stayed on the beach for a while, it was very pleasant and the boat only cost 240 yen round trip. It's a shame that the hike is closed, apart from the beach, there are no other activities but it's very relaxing and pretty. (Original) Un très joli petit coin pour se reposer en temps de soleil, je suis restée un moment sur la plage, c’était très agréable et le bateau ne coûtait que 240 yens aller retour. C’est dommage que la randonnée soit fermée, mis à part la plage, il n’y a pas d’autres activités mais c’est très reposant et joli.

(Translated by Google) I visited on a weekend afternoon in May, and it was raining, so there were no people around, and it felt like a deserted island. The promenade along the coast was still closed due to a landslide. (May 2025) (Original) 5月の週末昼訪問で雨天だからか人影なく無人島的体験。海岸沿いの遊歩道はいまだに崖崩れ通行止めになってました。(2025.5)

(Translated by Google) We took the ferry here for a stroll. Since it was cloudy and almost dusk, it was fun to take advantage of the opportunity to wander around. There are restrooms and a rest area and smoking area at the ferry terminal, so even if the weather wasn't great, it was still a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Actually, a full circumnavigation of the island would probably take half a day to reach the top, but I didn't have that much time, so I just enjoyed the island's fascinating scenery and created some wonderful memories! (Original) 搭渡輪過來逛逛，因是陰天而且已近黃昏，把握時間小晃一下也是很有情趣，這裡有洗手間、渡口有休息間吸菸區，就算天氣沒很好，玩的也是輕鬆愉快。 其實真要環島可能要撥個半天爬到頂，我沒這多時間所以就淺嚐一下這有趣的島嶼風光，也留下美好回憶！

(Translated by Google) I visited Sensuijima to participate in an event in Tomonoura. It took about 1 hour and 15 minutes to arrive from Okayama. There are about 3 ferries every hour, and a round trip for adults costs 240 yen. Everyone visiting the island seemed to like power spots, and even though it was December, the weather was very nice, so people were going barefoot at the beach, putting their feet in the sea, and being earthed! Unfortunately, there was a fire in the bathroom a few days ago, so I wasn't able to use it. The road leading to Goshikiiwa was closed due to falling rocks. I had heard that you can go around the area in an hour, but I was pretty relaxed and the hour and a half passed in the blink of an eye, so if I can take a bath again and go to Goshikiiwa, I can easily spend half a day there. It felt like We walked around Senningaoka and then rode on the back of a dragon. Although it was a shame that the road was closed, I felt that spending time relaxing by myself was a luxury, and I would like to go to Mt. Omi in clothes that allow me to move more easily next time. There were some anglers, “At night, things are completely different.” I was talking. I was told that I could catch squid... It is said that the power of Sensuijima increases greatly during the full moon... I would like to go again on a full moon day! (Original) 鞆の浦でのイベントに参加するため、仙酔島を訪れました。 岡山から1時間15分程で到着しました。 フェリーは1時間に３本ほど出ていて、往復大人は240円です。 島を訪れている皆さん、パワースポット好きな方ばかりの様で、12月でしたがとてもいいお天気だったので、海水浴場で裸足になって海に足をつけてアーシングされていました！ 残念な事にお風呂が数日前に火事になった様で、入れなかったです。 そして、落石で五色岩方面へ続く道が通行止めになっていました。 1時間で回れると聞いていたのですが、結構のんびりしてたらあっという間に1時間半は経っていたので、お風呂が再開して、五色岩の方にも行けたら割と半日過ごせる感じでした。 仙人ヶ丘を歩き、その後龍の背中に乗せていただきました。 通行止めは残念でしたが、1人でのんびりと過ごす時間は贅沢で今度はもっと動ける服装で大弥山に行きたいなと思いました。 釣り人が何人かおられ、 「夜はまた様子が全然違う」 と話していました。イカが釣れたり…との事。 満月は仙酔島のパワーがすごく高まるとか… 満月の日に再び行ってみたいです！

(Translated by Google) 2023.12.26 A remote island that can be reached by boat in just 5 minutes. Unless you live on an island or are a remote island geek, people today don't often have the opportunity to ride a boat, so I hope they can enjoy a cruise where riding is an attraction. According to Wikipedia, Sensuijima is 6 km in circumference and although some people commute to hotels on the island, it is an uninhabited island with no permanent residents. You can see the townscape of Tomonoura from the highest peak, Mt. From the pier, we climbed up to Mt. Omi via Tomonoura Beach, played at the observation deck, and then came back down using the same route, a hike that took about an hour and a half. I also wanted to go to Goshiki Rock, but the promenade was closed and I couldn't get close. (Original) 2023.12.26 僅か5分の船旅で行ける離島。島住まいや離島オタクでもない限り、船に乗る機会が少ない現代人には乗ることがアトラクションの船旅を楽しんでもらいたい。 ウィキペディアによると、仙酔島は周囲6kmで島内のホテルへ通勤する人がいるが、定住者のいない無人島になっている。最高峰の大弥山からは鞆の浦の町並みを望むことができる。 船着き場から鞆の浦海水浴場経由で大弥山まで登って、展望台で遊んだあと同じルートで降りてきて、1時間半ほどのハイキングだった。五色岩にも行きたかったが、遊歩道が通行止めで近づくことができなかった。

(Translated by Google) Wonderful view, an island fit for a hermit to get drunk This is the third time the island is at high tide, so the promenade is submerged. I had to turn back halfway through. When there are many tourists, the big Irohamaru, this time There aren't many, so use a smaller ferry boat. Arrive in about 5 minutes from Tomonoura Port Ideal for tourist information as a set with Tomonoura sightseeing No matter how many times I come here, I am healed by this view. (Original) 素晴らしい眺め 仙人が酔うにふさわしい島 今回３度目　島は満潮時の為　遊歩道が浸かり 途中で引き返す事になりました。 観光客が多い時は　大きないろは丸　今回は 少ないので小さい方の渡し舟 鞆の浦港から約5分で到着 鞆の浦観光とセットで観光案内には最適 何度来てもこの景色に癒されます。

(Translated by Google) It was off-season and a cold day, so there were few people and I was able to explore at my own pace. There were no dormitories and it was not camping season, so it was quiet. It's nice to spend a relaxing time listening to the sound of the ocean. (Original) シーズンオフとさむーい日だったから、人も少なくてゆっくり回れました。宿舎も無くなって、キャンプの時期でもないから、静かでした😊海の音を聴きながら、ゆったりとした時間を過ごすのも良いですね。

For a small entrance fee you are treated to a famous wonderful view of Sensui Island and a nice spot to relax for a while. There were very few other visitors when we were there, mid-week, so it was perfect. We arrived here by bus from Fukuyama station, the bus ride took about 40 minutes.

Nice Shrine with a beautiful view over the sea and the islands. Some small entrance fee is charged, but I would say worth it for the view. The shrine itself is nicer from the outside...

Entrance fee is very cheap and the view is amazing, would definitely recommend.

Lovely rustic temple located in the fishing village of Tomonoura. The temple is located on a hill with beautiful views. Inside of the temple boasts a panoramic view of the islands which you can visit by ferry. They have a goshuin stamp available along with a variety of amulets or omamori. They have English literature about the history of the temple as well.

Not the most beautiful view I've ever seen but definitely worth a visit. Get down low to cut out the lower buildings from your snaps of the island temple and pirate boat.

ENTRANCE FEE 200yen. (-2stars) Good view. Small museum. It is worth the view since there is not much to see in this town.

Worth visit this temple , stunning view

I wished the staff can be more accommodating to people who can't speak japanese

(Translated by Google) It is located near the "Tomonoura" bus stop. Admission fee 200 yen I went on a Sunday around 9:30. It is said that Ryoma Sakamoto hid in a hidden room discovered during an investigation of the ceiling in 1989. When I realized that Ryoma Sakamoto was here, I couldn't leave the room for a while. I had a great time feeling the history. (Original) 「鞆の浦」バス停の近くにあります。 入館料200円 日曜日の9時半頃に行きました。 １９８９年に天井を調査して見つかった隠れ部屋で坂本龍馬が身を隠していたといわれています。ここに坂本龍馬が居たんだ…と思うとしばらく部屋から出れなくなりました。 歴史を感じる時間を過ごせました。

(Translated by Google) I took part in a tour walking around Tomonoura! It was so hot that I decided to take a break in Professor Sakamoto's hidden room. There was an explanation about the Iroha Maru. The specifications of the Iroha Maru are as follows. LXBXD 54.5x5.2x3 (m) Engine power 45ps Deadweight 165 tons Built in 1862, Scotland Screw ship It was probably the latest ship at the time. A ship with an engine was rare at that time, wasn't it? I can feel the power of Britain in shipbuilding and the navy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🚢🚢 By the way, Professor Sakamoto's hidden room had no air conditioning and was like a steam bath. 2025/07/05 (Original) 鞆の浦をぶらぶら歩き回るツアーに参加！ あまりにも暑いので坂本先生の隠れ部屋で休憩する事にしました。 いろは丸に関する説明があり いろは丸の仕様は以下の様です。 LXBXD 54.5x5.2x3 (m) 機関出力 45ps 載貨重量　165ton 建造　1862年　スコットランド スクリュー船 当時として最新の船だったのでしょう。エンジン付きの船なんてこの当時では珍しいのでは？ 造船や海軍にイギリスの勢いを感じます。🇬🇧🇬🇧🚢🚢 因みに坂本先生の隠れ部屋はエアコンがなくて蒸し風呂でした。 2025/07/05

(Translated by Google) [You can feel Ryoma Sakamoto on the wall] A good old building. It seems that the walls of the room where Ryoma Sakamoto was hiding have not been changed since then. I put my hand on the wall and felt Ryoma✋ The inside of the building is quiet and you have to take off your shoes before entering the building. It's the same as it was back in the day, so it looks like they're taking great care of it. The ceiling was low, and I looked around every corner, wondering if people back then were short. If you are a Sakamoto Ryoma fan, please make a pilgrimage to the sacred place✨ (Original) 【壁で坂本龍馬を感じれる】 古き良き建物。当時のまま残してるそうで、坂本龍馬が隠れてたお部屋の壁は当時から変えてないそうです。 壁に手を当てて龍馬感じた✋ 館内は喋り声は小さめで、靴を脱いで上がるタイプです 当時のままのものなので神経質にかなり大切にしている様子。 天井が低くて当時の人は身長低いのか〜すごい〜なんて思いながら隅々まで見ました 坂本龍馬ファンの方はぜひ 聖地巡礼に✨

(Translated by Google) "An irresistible place for those who love thrilling old folk houses" You can also learn about the history of Ryoma Sakamoto. 200 years old? I was able to enjoy the buildings of From the guy at the general store It was a wonderful place to learn about Fukuyama's products. The wood used in old buildings was left to float in water for several days. It doesn't fall apart even if you take a lot of time to dry it. This building also uses almost no nails. The current building won't last 200 years. I wonder if that's the difference. Get excited Fukuyama is a town that prospered for dyeing. Okayama is a city that flourished in textiles. In the old days, Fukuyama had the technique of hazing. It was made using The Fukuyama denim sold here! Of course this building I learned a lot from this brother's explanation. thank you very much.

(Translated by Google) There were various materials related to the Irohamaru Incident, I felt so sad that I was hiding in such a small place. (Original) いろは丸事件の事や色々な、資料がありましたが、 こんなに狭いところに、隠れていたんだと、切ない思いになりました

(Translated by Google) The inside was wonderful. The male staff at the entrance was not very friendly. I thought it was a bit expensive, but they charged elementary school students the same price for toddlers. We were also told at the beginning that we should not talk loudly inside the facility and should not let children walk alone. My child loves history and is very quiet, so while I wanted to talk and listen within reason, he was nervous while looking at the exhibits, wondering if he should say a word. I would not recommend this for families with children under elementary school age. If you want to learn about the history with Sakamoto Ryoma, I recommend the facility near the Joyato light. (Original) 中は素晴らしかったです。 入口の男性スタッフの感じは良くなかったです。 何か高かったなと思ったら、幼児も小学生の値段取らていました。 また最初に、施設内は話し声は出さず子供を一人で歩かせないなどの説明を受けます。 歴史好きな大人しい子供なので、常識の範囲で話したり聞いたりしたいなか、展示見ながら、一言も発したらいけないのかなとビクビクしていました。 小学生以下の家族連れにはおすすめできません。坂本龍馬との歴史を知りたければ、常夜灯近くの方の施設をお勧めします。

A museum of the famous debate for ship compensation of the famous Sakamoto Ryouma. He is one of the icons of Japan modernization. This museum is telling her story his ship accident and show his hiding place “ such that, he had many enemies”. Ryoma story is well know in Japan so this museum purpose might be vague for foreigners who don’t acquainted with such history. For the people who read about him, it is a good place to go.

Great small museum. The lady working here was very friendly and spoke Great English.

Great little museum space avec the famous samurai and his lost ship. Wish they had some stuff in English !

(Translated by Google) [Ryoma Sakamoto's favorite pilgrimage to sacred places✨] The inside of the museum is not very large and there isn't much to see. There are quite a few Oshikatsu goods, so I wonder if they are aimed at people from overseas. If you are Ryoma-tan, please come 😃 (lol) When I went up to the second floor, Ryoma Sakamoto was there. It was really scary (lol) To put it bluntly, it was very real. When I changed the angle, our eyes met and it was so scary that it felt like a dream (lol) I was able to come due to good timing as it was only open on weekends, but it was a little inconvenient. (Original) 【坂本龍馬推し活 聖地巡礼✨】 館内は全然広くなく見るものはそんなに無い。推し活グッズは割と置いてあり海外の方向けなのかな？ 龍馬担の方は是非😃（笑） 2階に上がると坂本龍馬がいた。めちゃくちゃ怖かった（笑） よく言えばリアルとっても。角度を変えたら目が合ってて夢に出そうなくらい怖かった トラウマ（笑） 週末しかやってないのでタイミング良かったから来れたけど、ちょっと不便かな

(Translated by Google) The steamship Iroha Maru, purchased by the Ozu clan and operated by Ryoma Sakamoto's Kaientai, collided with the steamship Meiko Maru, owned by the Kishu clan, while sailing in the Seto Inland Sea, causing major damage and heading towards Tomonoura. This exhibition hall is named after the Irohamaru Incident, which involved a maritime accident in which the ship sank while being towed, and the compensation negotiations that followed. Ryoma stirred up public opinion in order to gain an advantage in negotiations and thoroughly damaged the reputation of the Kishu clan. The Kishu domain was engulfed in smoke and exhausted under the banner of universal public law. What they are doing is the same as the current Communist Party and Constitutional Democratic Party. He can hardly be called the behavior of a samurai, and is more like an unscrupulous merchant or a monster complainer. As a result, the ratio of errors was 10 for the Meiko Maru and 0 for the Iroha Maru, resulting in a total victory for the Kaientai. This was despite subsequent research suggesting that the Iroha Maru was also at fault, and that the Iroha Maru's cargo and damage amounts had been greatly inflated. Ichijiro Shigeta, who was in charge of the Kishu clan, was a hard worker who worked hard to get promoted from a humble beginning, but his life was ruined because of his involvement with Ryoma. The compensation that Ryoma stole was 80,000 ryo, which is more than 16 billion yen in modern terms, but he himself was brutally murdered without receiving any of the money. There are various theories about who was responsible for Ryoma's assassination, including Tadazaburo Sasaki of the Mimawarigumi, Kuwajiro Oishi of the Shinsengumi, Hajime Saito, and even Hanjiro Nakamura of Satsuma, but there have been rumors since then that he was a renegade of the Kishu clan. did. However, that would be too unsightly, so perhaps the name of a famous swordsman of the time was mentioned. And well, if you do something like this, no matter who kills you, it will only be considered divine punishment. This exhibition is strictly from Ryoma's side, so while it praises Ryoma's negotiation skills, it does not criticize his greedy methods. I think it is better suited for light users, but the content is undeniably thin. It's not worth making your schedule to see it, but it's a great way to kill time. Also, regarding the compensation that Ryoma never received, it is actually unclear what happened to him after that. It's only a myth, but there's a rumor that the money was embezzled and used to fund the founding of a certain conglomerate...Oh, it looks like someone's here, so please excuse me. (Original) 大洲藩が購入し坂本龍馬の海援隊が運用していた蒸気船のいろは丸が、瀬戸内海を航行中に紀州藩所有の蒸気船・明光丸と衝突して大破、鞆の浦にむけて曳航中に沈没した海難事故と、その後の賠償交渉をふくめた「いろは丸事件」にちなんだ展示館です。 龍馬は交渉を有利に進めるために世論をあおり、紀州藩の体面を徹底的に傷つけました。万国公法をたてに紀州藩を煙に巻き、疲弊させました。やっていることはいまの共産党、立憲民主党のたぐいとおなじです。武士のふるまいとは言いがたく、まるっきり悪徳商人、あるいはモンスタークレーマーです。 その結果、過失割合は明光丸一〇に対していろは丸は〇で、海援隊の全面勝利となりました。その後の研究によれば、いろは丸にも少なからざる過失があった、いろは丸の積荷と損害金額は大幅に水増しされていたとの説があるにもかかわらずそうなりました。紀州藩の責任者であった茂田一次郎は小身から努力を重ねて出世をとげた苦労人にもかかわらず、龍馬に関わったがために人生を台無しにされました。龍馬が掠め取った賠償金は八万両、現代の金額にして一六〇億円を超えますが、彼自身は大金を手にすることなく惨殺されました。龍馬暗殺の下手人としては見廻組の佐々木只三郎、新選組の大石鍬次郎に斎藤一、果ては薩摩の中村半次郎までいろいろと説はありますが、当時から紀州藩の意趣返しとの噂はありました。ただ、それではあまりに無様なので、当時の名だたる剣客の名が挙げられたのでしょう。そしてまあ、こんなことやっていれば誰に斬られたとしても天罰としか思えません。 ここはあくまで龍馬の側に立った展示なので、龍馬の交渉術を讃えてはいてもあこぎなやり方を非難したりはしていません。そのほうがライトユーザー向けではあると思いますが、内容の薄さは否めません。予定をくりあわせてまで見る価値はありませんが、時間つぶしにはなります。 あと、龍馬が手にすることのなかった賠償金ですが、その後どうなったかが実ははっきりとしません。俗説の域は出ませんが、横領されて、とある財閥の設立資金になったという噂が…おや、誰か来たようなのでこれにて失礼します。

On the second floor, Ryoma Sakamoto's secret room is recreated. The actual hidden room in Tomonoura is located at the Tomonoura Tourist Center (charges apply) The facility is small. Ryoma Sakamoto goods are also on sale. (Original) いろは丸号沈没事故や坂本龍馬を紹介した施設で有料です。特にいろは丸号沈没事故をかなり詳しく解説しています。 2階には坂本龍馬の隠れ部屋を再現しています。鞆の浦にあった隠れ部屋は鞆の浦観光センターの方に実際のものがあります（有料） 施設はこぢんまりとしております。坂本龍馬グッズも販売されています。

(Translated by Google) This facility is perfect for people who don't know much about Ryoma, or people like me who have only read a few novels or manga. I'm sure there are a lot of thoughts on Ryoma, but I enjoyed watching the show, muttering things like ``I wish there was a story like this'' while taking quizzes. (Original) 竜馬の事をあまり知らない人や、自分の様にちょこっと小説や漫画見たよって人に丁度良い施設。 龍馬に対する考察は色々あるんでしょうが、「こんな話あったなあ」とか呟きながらクイズを外したりして楽しく観覧しました。

It’s amazingly clean&well maintained zoo with a pond nearby makes it more fun , definitely recommended for families

The zoo is clean and tidy, has many animals, and the tickets are cheap. And you can bring your own food to enjoy, which is very suitable for a family visit.

Hight recommend. The zoo is not large but it’s very clean, the animals are near and look like happy. The children can see and learn a lot of things

I do not recommend this zoo. The animals are mostly solitary (even extremely sociable animals like meerkats) and kept in small, sparse, cold enclosures. They mostly do not seem happy, especially the large predators. ASA zoo in Hiroshima is not great either, but far better than this.

Highly recommended because it's really a nice place to bring your children. A place where you can spend time with family , have a family bonding without spending to much money..My children loves watching the animals in the zoo and they enjoy playing in the playground..

Nice place embedded with natural beauties. children enjoy the place very much. there is a childrens corner, which is completely free of cost. Recommended for those who lives in Fukuyama, Hiroshima area.

A wonderful zoo! Small, but plenty of interesting animals. The habitats are more humane than most Japanese zoos.

This temple/museum is huge, and there are so many things to enjoy. The koi fish were beautiful and lively. It was also my first time seeing a donkey. I had udon for lunch, and the experience was very interesting. The server explained the meaning behind each way of eating. I wanted to try meditation and syakyou, but it was too hot outside, so I gave up. Hopefully, I can try them next time I visit, haha.

Had an interesting experience at the zen museum. The architecture itself is just outstanding and the installation you can experience in the museum is unique and a lot to feel during and after the experience. I won't talk too much about the installation as it is different to each person what you feel and think but you will be surprised.

We visited the Museum and Gardens in Mid-July 2025, on our great tour of Japan, the socalled "Golden route" as a kind of rest stop between busy megacities. It is a very beautiful estate and park, with some lovely old temples and other buildings reconstructed here, and a spectacular newbuild for a Zen experience in total darkness. You can have lunch with extra big udon. The highlight was the introduction in Zen Meditation by an english speaking monk, who had travelled especially from Kyoto to give this instruction to us. It was one, if not THE, highlight of our Japan trip. It was very quiet too (even in July) outside our little group of 4, we saw only 3 or max 4 visitors on the whole estate and park. Absolutely recommended !

Visited during Obon holiday but there were not many people, we could enjoy the park and exhibitions at our own pace. Highly recommend.

One of the best place to enjoy autumn foliage. It was beautiful. Lovely 😍 I came on weekday and not many crowd, spent around 3 hours. I took private charter bus so its easy to navigate.

It is located in Shinshoji.The garden here is very beautiful,too. And the white pattern of a rock is worth seeing. The building was built by nawa, a famous Hiroshima-born man. That has a strange shape, but I think it is good. It's a half-hour system with max 20 people, but you hardly have to wait, so enjoy it whenever you want.

It is highly recommended to reserve more than 2 hours for this place. Due to the light bus schedule that we could only enjoy partial of Shinshoji this time. The experience here should be relax and joyful. We also enjoyed the 五觀偈 Shinsho-ji udon at 光明堂 （1200 yen for one set). The most special part for me is to experience how monks eat these foods. The Unsui chopstick is cool even to Chinese people like me. To be honest, I still did not get a clue about the 洸庭’s performance for the entire 30 mins. It will be really nice if I can have some pre-study or introduction. Or please someone let me know wha exactly this is about! Last but not the least, I would like to express my appreciation to the staff again. They are super helpful! They guide us how to take bus to our next destination. In the end, they even drove us to the bus station! It saved our life and made our trip more memorials! 👍👍👍

This was a memorable visit. We were just two of us at that time and the 3 elderly people there were just waiting for people to come visit so they could do the tour. We were with a lovely lady who read the English explanations for us and it was very helpful to understand all the different parts of the buildings. It s a huge house that served as a sake brewery and shop as well as an inn. GO!!!!

This house was built during 18th century and some famous nobles stayed here for a few days. It has some attractive points to see such as warehouse, garden, ceiling and wall. The family who lived here sold “Homei-shu” during Edo period all over Japan. And then, they produced it here so there are some warehouses. The reason why they could build such a great house was they were allowed to sell Homei-shu dominantly by Han, the lord. Thanks to its policy, they could make fortune. Este es edificio muy grande y maravilloso y fue fundado durante Edo tiempo(siglo 18). Hay un jardín pequeño. Eso representa el espíritu Sado, espíritu de té en Japón. Si llama atención a su pilar en edificio, puede encontrar un dibujo tradicional que se llama “Kugi-kakushi “.

A lot of traditional old buildings. Very lovely to walk around in the morning.

Japanese style house

(Translated by Google) It's near the night light. Admission fee: 500 yen. Closed on Tuesdays. I went sightseeing in Tomonoura on Sunday morning. There were about 3 people including me touring the Ota family residence. This building dates from the late Edo period to the early Meiji period and is a nationally important cultural property. (Original) 常夜灯の近くにあります。 入館料500円。火曜日は休館日です。 日曜の午前中に鞆の浦へ観光に来ました。 太田家住宅を見学してるのは私を含め3人ほど。 江戸時代末期〜明治時代初期の建物で国の重要文化財です。

(Translated by Google) I asked him once. It is a wonderful mansion and is also an important cultural property of the country. This liquor store has been around since the Edo period, so the entrance is It's like watching a historical drama. The buildings are elaborate and the storehouses are interesting. I feel like I have traveled back in time. The storehouse at the back of the building has a unique dice pattern. (Original) 一度伺いました。 国の重要文化財でもあり素晴らしい邸宅ですね。 元々江戸時代からある酒屋なので入口が 時代劇で見る様な感じです。建物の作りも凝っているし倉も面白いです。 タイムスリップした様な錯覚を覚えます。 建物の裏側にある蔵には独特なサイコロの目の模様が入れてあります。

(Translated by Google) It's a great place to stop by on your way to the Joyoto. There is an admission fee of 400 yen, but the staff will explain the facility in an easy-to-understand way, and then you'll be free to wander around freely. Photography is also allowed. In the back, there are the storehouses and tools used to make Homeishu, which are well worth seeing. This is one of the must-see tourist spots for learning about the history of Tomonoura. (Original) 常夜燈に行く途中に立ち寄れる場所にあります。入館料400円は必要ですが、説明担当のスタッフさんが分かりやすく、施設の説明をしてくれ、その後は自由に回らせてくれます。写真撮影もOKです。奥には当時保命酒を作っていた蔵や道具もあって、見応えがあります。 鞆の浦の歴史を知る上で、外せない観光スポットの一つ。

Beautiful and serene but could be treated with more respect. I saw a ladder and various pails just stored along the side and the electric service could have been hidden at the back. It looked cluttered instead of neat. But it is worth visiting.

Nice temple along the temple walk in Onomichi. A audio guidance in English is available on the grounds.

very historical place.

I can feel the history.

Nice temple, frequented by locals. Don’t follow signs for parking at temple , park at port and walk up as the streets are deathly narrow. You will meet trainspotters at the temple who frame shots of the passing trains within the entrance to the temple.

Calm, serene, filled with information.

(Translated by Google) This ancient temple was founded by Prince Shotoku. I visited in early spring and it was a magnificent temple. Looking down, the view of the Seto Inland Sea and the trains running along it was magnificent. (Original) 聖徳太子の開基の古刹。春先に訪れましたが、立派なお寺さんでした。見下ろせば、瀬戸内海に電車も走ってる、素晴らしい景色でした。

so peaceful and scenic. visited in the morning. take a walk using stairs that went upwards. outstanding

(Translated by Google) Take the Tomo Line bus of the Tomo Railway, get off at the Kusado Ohashi bus stop, and walk for about 15-20 minutes to reach the temple. After climbing a long flight of stairs, you will find the main hall and five-story pagoda, both national treasures. You can get a panoramic view of the city. There is information on the bus stop timetable, but I walked along the road next to the houses on Prefectural Route 22 (Prefectural Route 22 has a lot of traffic and no sidewalks, so it is dangerous to walk on it). (Original) 鞆鉄道の路線バス 鞆線に乗り、草戸大橋バス停で下車、徒歩15-20分程度で到着します。少し長い階段を上ると、国宝の本堂や五重塔があります。市街を一望できます。停留所の時刻表にも案内がありますが、県道22号脇の住宅沿いの道を歩いて行きました(県道22号は車の往来も多く、歩道もないので歩くのは危険です)。

Great historical temple in Japan. Main hall "Hondo" and Five-storied pagoda are very impressive!

(Translated by Google) The main hall is a designated national treasure. The temple grounds also house a five-story pagoda, also designated a national treasure. You can learn about the history of the main hall by scanning a QR code. Getting to the main hall can be difficult as the story is complicated. There is also a shoin study and Sanno-do hall. The main hall and five-story pagoda can be seen by climbing the steep stone steps from the parking lot. People with mobility issues can drive up the approach to the left of the stone steps and use the parking lot above. It is also known as the temple of flowers, and when I visited previously in spring, the temple was in bloom. I visited in September and was able to enjoy the green maples, pokeweed berries, and lily of the valley flowers. (Original) 本堂が、国宝に指定されている。 境内には、同じく国宝に指定されている五重塔も建立されている。 本堂の歴史は、QRコードを読み取って聴くことができる。本堂については、複雑な流れがあるので難しい。 書院や山王堂もある。 駐車場から、急な石階段を登っていくと、本堂と五重塔が見える。 足の不自由な人は、石階段左の参道を車で行き、上の駐車場を利用。 花の寺とも言われ、以前、春に訪れたときは花が咲いていた。 今回は9月で、青もみじやヤマゴボウの実、ヤブランの花を楽しむ事ができた。

(Translated by Google) There's no direct public transportation option from Fukuyama Station. You can either take a bus partway and walk, take a taxi, or walk. I took a taxi to get there and walked back. It's about a 30-minute walk from Fukuyama Station. It's a truly beautiful temple, simply amazing. The main hall and five-story pagoda are national treasures.👍 After climbing the stairs and passing through the gate, you'll see the main hall directly ahead. Built at the end of the Kamakura period, it's a beautiful, well-proportioned building. The principal image, the Eleven-Faced Kannon, is only open to the public once every 33 years. Unfortunately, last year (2024) was the last year, so I probably won't be able to see it in my lifetime (lol). Next to the main hall stands the beautiful, well-balanced five-story pagoda, painted in vermilion and built in the early Muromachi period.🤩 I love this temple and have visited it three times, including this time. However, I always fail at taking good photos. 🥺 The temple grounds are surprisingly narrow and long, so it's difficult to get a balanced photo. I'm always determined to get it right this time, but it never turns out the way I want. 💦 This time, I'll show you some decent photos. 👍 If you think it's beautiful, next time, see it for yourself. Even though this temple is so beautiful, there's no admission fee. I hope Kyoto's expensive temples and shrines follow suit. 😝 (Original) 交通機関を使って、福山駅から直接行く方法はありません。 バスで途中まで行って歩くか、タクシーに乗るか、歩くかです。 今回は行きはタクシー、帰りは歩きました。福山駅まで歩いておおよそ30分です。 とにかく美しいお寺で、素晴らしいとしか言いようがありません。本堂と五重塔は国宝です👍 階段を登り山門をくぐると、正面に本堂があります。鎌倉末の建立で、均整のとれた美しいお堂です。 御本尊の十一面観音は、33年に１度のご開帳で、残念なことに昨年(2024年)が、その年だったので、おそらく自分の存命中には拝めそうにはありません（笑） 本堂のとなりには、室町初期建立の、朱塗りのバランスのとれた美しい五重塔がそびえています🤩 自分はこのお寺が大好きで、今回を含めて3回訪れました。ところが写真を撮るのに、いつも失敗してしまいます🥺 境内が意外に狭くて、横に長いので、なかなかバランス良く写真が撮れなくて、今回こそは‼️と意気込んで撮りますが、なかなか思うようには撮れません💦 今回は、そんな中からまあまあな写真をお目にかけますね👍 美しいと思ったら、次はご自分の目で、実物を確認してみてくださいね。 こんなに美しいお寺なのに、拝観料はありません。京都の高い拝観料を取る寺社は、見習って欲しいです😝

(Translated by Google) 🌅 Welcomed the New Year with a National Treasure-level temple at my hometown, Myo-in Temple! ​While visiting my parents for the New Year holidays, I went to Myo-in Temple, a 15-minute walk from my parents' house, to pray for the first shrine visit of the year and watch the first sunrise of the year. It's a temple I've been familiar with since childhood, and I was once again deeply moved by its rich history! ​Myo-in Temple is actually home to two National Treasures built during the Muromachi period. ​One is the National Treasure Main Hall. Built at the end of the Kamakura period, it is the oldest surviving example of an eclectic style. It is an incredibly valuable building, combining Japanese and Chinese architectural techniques. ​The other is the National Treasure Five-Story Pagoda. The fifth-oldest example of Japanese-style architecture in Japan, dating from the early Muromachi period. ​I used to think of it as just an ordinary temple, but I was reminded of how special it is to have such a precious, National Treasure-level historical heritage so close to my everyday life. The five-story pagoda and main hall bathed in the first sunrise of the year were truly majestic, and it was the perfect start to the New Year. This is a truly wonderful temple that I would recommend to anyone with an interest in Japan's ancient history and architecture, as well as locals, to come and rediscover the importance of this national treasure! (Original) 🌅地元・明王院で迎えた、国宝級の新年！ ​年末年始の帰省で、実家から徒歩15分の明王院へ初詣と初日の出を拝みに行ってきました。幼い頃から慣れ親しんだお寺ですが、改めてその歴史の贅沢さに感動！ ​この明王院、実は室町時代に建立された二つの国宝があるんです。 ​一つは、国宝 本堂。鎌倉時代末期の建築で、現存最古の「折衷様式」。和様と唐様の技術が融合した、とてつもなく貴重な建物です。 ​もう一つは、国宝 五重塔。全国で5番目に古い初期室町時代の「和様建築」。 ​かつては「普通のお寺」としか思っていませんでしたが、こんなに貴重な国宝級の歴史的遺産が、日常のすぐそばにあるなんて、本当に特別なことだと痛感しました。 ​初日の出を浴びる五重塔や本堂は荘厳そのもので、最高の新年の幕開けとなりました。 ​日本の古い歴史や建築に興味がある方はもちろん、地元の方々にも、ぜひこの国宝の重みを再認識して訪れてほしい、心から素晴らしいお寺です！

If you come to Dogo Onsen, this shrine could be stopped by.

(Translated by Google) The grounds are immaculately swept, leaving you feeling refreshed. "Numakuma Shrine was a shrine listed in the Engishiki (Engishiki) system, but the name was quickly lost. When Numakuma Shrine was revived in 1871, it was formed by merging the two shrines (Watarusha and Gionsha). Gionsha was revered by the people as the guardian deity of Tomonoura. It was also revered by the Mizuno clan, lords of the Fukuyama domain, and the second lord, Katsushige, donated a stone torii gate to the shrine in 1625. The third lord, Katsutada, then acquired and donated a Noh stage that had been located in Fushimi Castle. The Noh stage is modular, all made of rafters and bolts, and the roof is paneled" (Hiroshima Prefecture Cultural 100 Selections 4 (Buildings) published by the Chugoku Shimbun). (Original) 境内は綺麗に掃き清められていて、清々しい気持ちになる。 「沼名前神社は、式内社であったが、その名は早く失われた。明治四年（一八七一）に沼名前神社が復活する際に、（渡守社と祇園社）両社の合併の上に成立した。祇園社は、鞆の浦の産土神として人々から仰された。福山藩主水野氏も崇敬し、二代藩主勝重が、寛永二年（一六二五）に石鳥居を寄進したのに次いで、三代勝貞は、山城伏見城にあった能舞台を入手奉納したのである。能舞台は組立式で、すべて枘差し、込栓打ちで、屋根もパネル式になっている」（『広島県文化百選 4 (建物編)』中国新聞社）。

Very quiet and somewhat impressive shrine with large stone Tori gates and some quite steep stairs. The main shrine certainly appeared classic Japanese but many of the images in the pillars reminded me of one's I have seen in China.

(Translated by Google) It is pronounced Nunakuma Shrine. According to the shrine's history, when Empress Jingu stopped by Tomonoura on her way back from the conquest of the Three Kingdoms, she realized there was no other shrine in the area, so she enshrined Watatsumi no Mikoto, who had helped her when she crossed the sea on her conquest of the Three Kingdoms. At that time, Empress Jingu offered a magnificent weapon called Izunotakatomo before the altar, and this place came to be called Tomo. The two enshrined deities are Owatatsumi no Mikoto and Susanoo no Mikoto. It is a magnificent shrine that sits majestically on the hilltop of Tomo. (Original) ぬなくま神社とお読みします。三韓征伐の帰りに鞆の浦に立ち寄った際、この地にお社がなかったことから、三韓征伐で海を渡る時にお世話になった綿津見命をお祀りしたのがはじまりと、ご由緒の中にありました。この時神功皇后は、稜威の高鞆（いづのたかとも）という武具を神前に納めたことから、この地を鞆と呼ぶようになったそうな。 ご祭神は大綿津見命と須佐之男命の2柱。鞆の高台に堂々と鎮座する立派なお社です。

Everything looks run down and badly maintained which is really sad to see as the shrine is gorgeous. Nice spacious area but nobody around for the tiny shop or goshuinn sadly. Would love to see the place cleaned up and with sun !

(Translated by Google) Owatatsumi-no-Mikoto and Susanoo-no-Mikoto are enshrined here together. As you walk along the stone path from the first torii gate, you will come across a figure standing quietly and solemnly amidst nature. (Original) 大綿津見命と素佐之男命が一緒にまつられています。 最初之鳥居から石造りの道を進んで行った先に、自然の中に静かに厳かに佇む姿があらわれます。

(Translated by Google) I stopped here on the way to visit the old temples of Tomonoura. After climbing a long flight of stairs, there is a large main hall and other buildings. You can get a panoramic view of the sea and the townscape. (Original) 鞆の浦の古寺巡りの途中で立ち寄りました。長い階段を上った先には大きな本殿などがあります。海や町並みを一望できます。

It is located just beside the Myooin Temple! You can enjoy sightseeing, nature and culture that place!

Make merrit and nice view

This shrine is really tall. You can climb to the top and look out over the city. The bridge is really interesting, however, the bridge comes from a very small road on top of a river levee, and it is very impractical to walk on that road. So, it feels like this shrine has a bridge to nowhere.

It absolutely exceeded our expectations - unbelievable!

Very nice shrine..

it is a very quiet and relaxing shrine with a mountain to the back. if you climb to the top, you can get a beautiful view of the city area.

Very quited and spiritual.

This is seriously a great place to have a tasty Ramen. The broth is neither too intense nor light, just about right. The portion is good and the set deal includes fried chicken and large bowl of rice. I ate here three times, tried out two other Ramen restaurants in the mean time, but I liked betcha most. Staff is very friendly and I liked that there were handkerchiefs available, which is not the case everywhere.

super yummy and affordable!! BEST RAMEN IVE EVER TASTED IN MY VISIT TO JAPAN!! i wish i could go back here!! u can get a ramen rice and karaage meal for lile 1000+ yen only!!! the ramen was super flavorful but not too salty and heavy,, the chicken was freshly cooked and super juicy!! i think abt this place everyday i wish i can go back

pretty good, food came less than 10 minutes after ordering. we got the spicy miso ramen and onomichi ramen, delicious. close access to the station, interesting atmosphere with music choice, and food was decent.

they offer free gyoza if you leave a review- hence why it is highly rated on google maps don't get me wrong, it's decent ramen... but i despise places that offer incentives bc it undermines the whole system of leaving reviews smhh i found onomichi ramen to be extremely greasy yet lacking depth but it seems like a must eat when you're here. i will say the fried chicken was done very well and the service was fast.

Onomichi is famous for its ramen, and ベッチャー truly lives up to the reputation! Their ramen features a rich kombu and soy sauce-based broth that is both deep in flavor and incredibly satisfying. Using thick, fatty slices of roasted pork as topping is another signature of the dish. The noodles are homemade, with a perfectly chewy texture and a distinct wheat flavor that enhances the overall experience. Another must-try here is the oysters, a specialty of the region. They are incredibly fresh, prepared in a way that keeps their natural flavors intact, making them both refreshing and delicious. If you’re in Onomichi, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended! By the way, staff is friendly and the restroom is clean!!!

Absolutely loved my visit to Onomichi Ramen Betcha. The ramen was incredibly tasty and aromatic, with a rich and flavorful broth that perfectly complemented the springy noodles. Every spoonful was comforting and full of depth. The fried dumplings were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the karaage was tasty and tender. A must-visit if you're in Onomichi. Highly recommended! 5 stars!

The food was delicious, the staff was friendly. Love the cozy vibes. It’s a small shop but the waiting time was reasonable. All the food was good, we enjoyed the ramen, fried rice, dumplings and oysters.

This is a review only for the food. Beautiful lunch but somewhat expensive. Looking at the past reviews, the prices seem to have gone up by quite a bit.

Wonderful experience and friendly staff, great vacation spot!

Really really really really really reallynice.

(Translated by Google) We had lunch of sea bream chazuke at a restaurant with a calm and retro atmosphere. The ohitsu comes with more rice than you can eat, and you'll have sea bream that has been aged for two weeks. First it was sashimi, then it was topped with quail eggs and sea bream miso for a pickled rice bowl, and finally it was sea bream chazuke with hot dashi. The dashimaki tamago was also freshly baked and warm and surprisingly delicious. I love tamagoyaki, so I often order it at soba restaurants, and it was definitely the best tamagoyaki I've ever had. I felt it was natural for Director Miyazaki to want to preserve this flavor and atmosphere. The price is a little high, but you won't regret it (Original) 落ち着いたレトロな雰囲気のお店で鯛茶漬けのランチをいただきました おひつに食べきれないほどのごはんがついてきて、２週間熟成させた鯛をいただきます 最初はお刺身で、それからうずらの卵や鯛味噌をのせてづけ丼に、最後はあつあつのお出しをかけて鯛茶漬けに。 だし巻き卵も焼き立てのあたたかいもので、衝撃を受けるくらい美味しかったです。卵焼き大好きなので蕎麦屋さんなどでもよく頼むのですが間違いなく今まで食べた中で一番おいしい卵焼きでした このお味と雰囲気は、宮崎監督が守りたいと思うのも当然だと感じました お値段ちょっと高めですが後悔はしません

(Translated by Google) It was really great. It exceeded my expectations. As a Ghibli fan and because director Hayao Miyazaki was involved in the design, I stayed here on our wedding anniversary. ○ About the Room The atmosphere of the room is really nice. I stayed in the Kakemonochi room, and I was thrilled the moment I entered. I somehow felt like I was experiencing a bit of the atmosphere from The Wind Rises. It was comfortable, and our room had a toilet and a bath. The other rooms didn't seem to have toilets. I was a little surprised that the toothpaste was salt, lol. ○ About the Food The food was more delicious and sophisticated than I expected. It was very tasty, and I could really taste the flavors of the ingredients. For breakfast, we had sea bream chazuke, which I thought might be a bit large, but I ate it all up in no time. I was full from the morning, but it was very delicious. With everything included, it was great value for money and a really great inn! The stained glass is beautiful, and it was fun to spot Ghibli characters scattered throughout the inn! The service was relaxed and not tense, so I'd definitely like to stay again. I highly recommend this inn to fans of Ghibli, Sakamoto Ryoma, and delicious food!

(Translated by Google) I went for lunch. I ordered the sea bream rice set. The sea bream marinated in salted rice malt was packed with flavor and was incredibly delicious. The interior of the restaurant was also beautiful. I went in as soon as they opened at 11:00, but after about 30 minutes there was already a line. It's so delicious that it's definitely worth waiting in line! (Original) ランチ利用です。鯛めしのセットを注文しました。塩麹？に漬けた鯛は旨みが凝縮されておりめちゃくちゃ美味しかったです。また、お店の内装も綺麗でした。11時の開店と同時に入りましたが30分ほどすると待ちも出るくらいになってました。美味しいので並ぶ価値は十分ありますね！

(Translated by Google) 2025 International Rose Conference, ROSE EXPO Fukuyama, Rose Festival held simultaneously I went to this venue for the first time for a three-day event from May 17th to 19th, which featured an embassy-produced garden, a rose pot sales booth, and rose goods sales. There was also a collaboration project with TOKYO GIRLS COLLECTION, and the floor of the Rose Arena was turned into a runway with a rose arch tunnel. Tatsuya Murasame and Masashi Mikami, who appear on NHK's Hobby Gardening, also attended the talk show. Yellow bleachers are set up on the second floor. The arena is conveniently located around Midoricho Park (Rose Hill, playground equipment, waterside playground), commercial facilities, and gas stations. There are many parking lots, but I took the city loop bus "Mawa Rose" from Fukuyama Station. It costs 160 yen flat. I asked the driver and got off at the Hanazonocho bus stop, and it was about a 5-minute walk from there.

(Translated by Google) What is this... Huge, tall and spacious. The exterior is cool, the building looks like a gymnasium or concert hall. It's symmetrical and has an unusual design. This was my first time at the rose festival. There were a lot of people there that day as well, but it seems the festival had ended yesterday. Of course, there were lots of roses and stalls. The roses are beautifully maintained. In the surrounding area are the departure and arrival point for large tourist buses, a parking lot, an information center, etc. It's about a 20-minute walk from the station. There's also a bus stop nearby.

(Translated by Google) There are spectator seats on both sides of the pool and a large electronic bulletin board, making it a suitable pool for large tournaments. The audience seats were air-conditioned, so it was a comfortable, if not comfortable, environment, and there was less of the heat that is typical of pools. I envy the people of Hiroshima who are able to hold the tournament in such an environment. (Original) プール両サイドに観客席、大きな電光掲示板があり、大きな大会を実施するプールとしての環境が整っています。 観客席はエアコンが効いていて、快適とまではいかなくても十分過ごせる環境で、プール独特の熱気感は少なかったです。 こんな環境で大会開催できる広島の方々は羨ましいです。

This participation was made possible by the connection of serving at Susanoo Shrine the day after visiting in March. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the war. I went to the site to express my gratitude to the heroes who fought for Japan through "action". Although it was my first time participating, I was grateful to be in charge of cleaning the shrine grounds. Right next to the heroes, I carefully cleaned up each and every pebble covered in fallen leaves. Despite the words of the deputy chief priest, "You don't have to be so nervous..." (laughs), it was impressive that he was surprised later and said, "Wow!" After the service, the chief priest gave a lecture. It was a warm time with laughter. We also experienced "diving into the stone statue of Abe Masahiro." At that time, I received another reservation from a young man who was planning to travel abroad! The message was, "The effect was excellent, so I would like to request another treatment before I leave for Norway." It was as if I had received a blessing from God.

I have also visited overseas battlefields of the Greater East Asia War to pay my respects. Bingo Gokoku Shrine The shrine's former status was a Gokoku shrine designated by the Minister of Home Affairs (Fukuyama Gokoku Shrine in 1939). After the war, it was elevated to a special shrine status. Bingo Shrine and Abe Shrine merged to become Bingo Gokoku Shrine on March 11, 1957. Established in 1868 by Abe Masahiro, former lord of the Fukuyama domain, it originally enshrined 40 heroes who died in the Battle of Masuda in Iwami Province and the Battle of Hakodate during the Bo-Choshu War. Since then, the shrine has been dedicated to the heroic spirits from Bingo Province who died for the nation and the public, including those in Saga, Taiwan, the Satsuma Rebellion, the Sino-Japanese War, the Northern Qing Dynasty War, the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese-German War, Manchuria, Shanghai, the Second Sino-Japanese War, and the Greater East Asia War.

(Translated by Google) It is located on the north side of Fukuyama Castle and Sanzo Inari Shrine. It was originally Abe Shrine, but Fukuyama Gokoku Shrine was enshrined there and it became Bingo Gokoku Shrine. The north wall of Fukuyama Castle, which is covered with black iron plates, can be clearly seen from the hill next to the Noh Theater Hall, which is currently under repair. You can get goshuin from both Abe Shrine and Bingo Gokoku Shrine. There is a healthy dog ​​at the awarding place.

(Translated by Google) I offer my sincere condolences to the spirits of the dead. I visited the shrine and received a goshuin stamp. The chief priest was there, so I called out to him and asked for a goshuin. It seemed like I had to go to work, so I had my book filled out first at the shrine, and finally had my stamp stamped at the shrine office. Thank you for your kind response. The hand wash was not working. It seems that the only parking lot is a paid parking lot. (Original) 英霊に哀悼の誠を捧げます。 参拝し御朱印をいただきました。 宮司さんが居られたので声をかけ御朱印をお願いしました。お勤めがあるみたいで、拝殿で先に記帳してもらい、社務所で判を最後に捺してもらいました。 丁寧に対応して下さってありがとうございました。 手水は機能していませんでした。 駐車場は有料駐車場しかないと思われます。

(Translated by Google) This museum is located in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture. You can learn about the history and culture of Tomonoura, a scenic spot representing Setouchi. It was built in 1988 on the ruins of a castle called Tomo Castle. It is built on a small hill and has a very nice view. Admission fee is 150 yen and the museum is closed on Mondays. It looks like it will be closed for a while from mid-December 2024 for renovation work. There were exhibits about the history of Tomonoura, people related to it, Korean envoys, and local festivals. Photography inside the building is prohibited. Since it is a castle ruins, you can also receive a castle seal if you request it at the reception desk. Access is a 6-minute walk from the Tomonoura bus stop, and if you are driving, it is convenient to use the History and Folklore Museum parking lot (25 spaces), but it may be full during the busy season. It's located along a narrow road in the back, so it may be more empty than the parking lot along the main road. It's located on a small hill, so in any case, you'll have to climb a slope or stairs to reach it. Visit period: November 2024 (Original) 広島県福山市にある博物館です。瀬戸内を代表する景勝地「鞆の浦」の歴史や文化を学ぶことができます。 1988年に鞆城というお城の跡に建てられました。小高い丘に建てられていて景色もとても良い場所です。 入館料150円で月曜日は休館日です。2024年12月中旬からしばらく改修工事で休館になるようです。 鞆の浦の歴史やゆかりの人物、朝鮮通信使、地元のお祭りなどの展示がありました。館内撮影は禁止となっています。 お城跡ということで受付で希望すれば御城印も頂けるようです。 アクセスはバス停鞆の浦から徒歩6分、車なら歴史民俗資料館駐車場(25台)が便利ですが、繁忙期は満車かもしれませんね。 奥まった狭い一通道路沿いにあるので、幹線道路沿いの駐車場よりは空いてる可能性があるかもです。 小高い丘にあるのでいずれにしても最後は坂道か階段を登ってたどり着けます。 訪問時期：2024年11月

(Translated by Google) It was built on a hill above the ruins of Tomo Castle as a commemorative project for the 70th anniversary of Fukuyama City. Historical materials from ancient times to modern times, as well as folklore materials related to the Otebi Shinto ritual and the Oyumi Shinto ritual, are on permanent display, and the museum is affectionately known as the "Tide Waiting House." The view overlooking from this hill is also wonderful. (Original) 福山市制70周年の記念事業として、鞆城跡の高台に建設されました。古代から近世にいたる歴史資料、お手火神事やお弓神事などに関する民俗資料が常設展示され、「潮待ちの館」の愛称で親しまれています。 この高台から見下ろす景色も素晴らしいです。

(Translated by Google) This museum is located on a hill up the hill from Tomonoura. It is located in a location with a great view of Tomonoura. Admission fee: 150 yen. The museum introduces the history of Tomonoura, which prospered as a port for waiting for the tide, as well as special products such as Homeishu, and events such as festivals. On the second floor, there is also an exhibition about Michio Miyagi, a musician connected to Tomo Town. Overall, I can't deny that it feels a little plain, but I think it's a good place to get some background information about Tomo sightseeing. Please note that photography is not allowed inside the building on either the 1st or 2nd floor. Please be aware that there are signs prohibiting photography everywhere. (Original) 鞆の浦から坂を上った高台に建つ資料館。 鞆の浦が一望できる眺めの良い場所にあります。 入館料150円。館内では、潮待ちの港として栄えた鞆の浦の歴史のほか、保命酒をはじめとする特産品、祭りなどの行事が紹介されています。 2階には鞆町ゆかりの音楽家宮城道雄の展示も。 総じてやや地味な感じは否めませんが、鞆観光の予備知識を仕入れておくのには良いかと思います。 なお館内は１F、２Fとも撮影不可。至る所に撮影禁止の掲示がありますので注意しましょう。

(Translated by Google) 2019.11 Using the Tomonoura Historic Site Tour Coupon I entered the museum. Festival mikoshi etc. The festival exhibits were impressive.

(Translated by Google) I wasn't really interested in the museum because it was a museum that displayed the history of footwear such as geta and zori sandals, but it was better than I expected. Footwear and toys from all over the world and all eras are on display, and there are a tremendous number of exhibition rooms. There was also a wealth of content other than footwear, including belongings of people connected to Fukuyama, such as Kiichi Miyazawa and Carp players, and works by Taro Okamoto. It's only open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and there aren't many customers, but it's well worth a visit. The admission fee of 300 yen is also a good deal. You can take pictures of everything except Kiichi Miyazawa, so it is also recommended for influencers. (Original) 下駄や草履などの履き物の歴史を展示した博物館ということで、あまり興味をそそられなかったのですが、思った以上によかったです。 世界各地•あらゆる時代の履き物と玩具が展示されており、凄まじい数の展示室があります。 宮澤喜一やカープ選手など、福山ゆかりの人物の持ち物や、岡本太郎の作品など、履き物以外のコンテンツも充実していました。 金•土•日しか開館しておらず、お客さんもまばらですが、一度行く価値は十分にあります。 300円という入館料もお得です。 宮澤喜一関連以外は全て撮影可能ですので、インフルエンサーの方にもおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) It's located near Matsunaga Station. I was skeptical after reading many reviews saying it was better than expected, but it certainly exceeded my expectations. It's definitely worth the 300 yen admission fee. The admission fee was cheap, so I assumed there would only be one or two exhibition rooms, but there are actually eight exhibition rooms, and even exhibits in the hallways. While the name "Footwear and Toy Museum" suggests, it's divided into exhibitions of footwear, toys like tops and battledores, and traditional crafts. There was also an exhibit on former Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa. I didn't know this, but apparently he was from Fukuyama. He was the prime minister around the time I was old enough to understand, so it was fascinating to see. ... (Original) 松永駅付近にあります。思っていたより良かったというクチコミが多かったので、ホントかよと思いつつ訪れてみたのですが、確かに想像よりも良かったです。入館料300円以上の価値があります。 入館料が安かったので、一つか二つの展示室があるだけだと思ってましたが、何と第8展示室まである上に、通路にも展示があります。はきもの玩具館という名前ですが、履き物の展示と、独楽や羽子板といった玩具や伝統工芸品の展示に分かれています。 元首相の宮沢喜一さんの展示もありました。知らなかったのですが、福山の出身とのことでした。自分が物心付いた頃の総理大臣なので、興味深く拝見しました。 外には太陽の塔で有名な、岡本太郎さんの作品もあって盛り沢山です。平日でしたがあまり人はおらず、ゆっくり鑑賞できました。

(Translated by Google) I visited here about 20 years ago, and decided to revisit since the new "Miyazawa Kiichi Memorial Museum" has been added. It seems to be open only on weekends. As it is the city of geta, there are various types of footwear on display. There are also exhibits of old toys. The highlight was the exhibit of Navajo dolls, with hundreds of them, and it was thrilling to see them as if they might come to life. I think it was a special exhibit. There was only a small exhibit on Miyazawa Kiichi. (Original) 20年位前に訪問したことがあって、新しく「宮澤喜一記念館」が併設されていたので再訪問しました。週末のみの開館のようです。下駄の街だけあって、いろいろな履物が展示されています。昔の玩具も併せて展示がありました。圧巻はナホバ族の人形の展示、数百体あってどれかが動き出しそうな感じでゾクゾク、特別展示かな。宮澤喜一氏の展示は少しでした。

(Translated by Google) A museum exhibiting footwear and toys related to Matsunaga's geta. It was an interesting museum that displayed toys that colored the lives of the common people in a form that contrasted with the footwear that was necessary for the lives of the common people, but it is managed by Fukuyama City and is run mainly by volunteers. It was renewed in 2024, and a corner was set up to praise the achievements of local politician Kiichi Miyazawa. What was good about it ◇The footprint square that has become a symbol is a masterpiece by artist Taro Okamoto. A must-see. ◇Athletes' shoes are very interesting. Giant Baba's shoes are amazing. ◇The craftsman's house on the site was evicted to make way for the museum, but it remains as it is as a result of the founder paying homage to the people who opposed eviction until the very end. What I was curious about ◆Kiichi Miyazawa's achievements are great, but I think pros and cons are divided as to whether he is necessary for a museum that focuses on the lives of ordinary people. ◆Toys are thought to be aimed at children, but dolls illuminated by subdued lighting may be too stimulating for young children. ◆I hope that it will be managed by Fukuyama City and will not become a museum whose exhibition intentions are misaligned. (Original) 松永の下駄にちなんで履き物と玩具を展示した資料館。庶民の生活に必要とされた履き物を対比するカタチで庶民の生活を彩った玩具を展示した面白い博物館でしたが、福山市の運営となりボランティア中心で運営されています。 2024年にリニューアルされ、地元の政治家宮澤喜一の功績を讃えるコーナーが設置された。 良かったところ ◇シンボルとなった足あと広場は岡本太郎画伯の力作。必見です。 ◇スポーツ選手の靴は非常面白いです。ジャイアント馬場さんの靴は驚きます。 ◇敷地内の職人屋敷は博物館建設に伴い立ち退きがおこなわれたが、最後まで立ち退きに反対していた人に創立者が敬意を表した結果、そのまま残っています。 気になったところ ◆宮澤喜一さんの功績は偉大ですが、庶民の生活をテーマにしている資料館に必要かどうかは賛否が分かれると思います。 ◆玩具は子ども向けと思われますが、落ち着いた照明に照らされた人形は幼児には刺激が強いかもしれません。 ◆福山市運営になって展示意図がズレた資料館にならない事を願います。

(Translated by Google) I've been to this area before, and I've always been curious about it. Even in Fukuyama, it is located outside of the city. I thought it would be more compact, but it's actually quite spacious! The museum is also incredibly deep. The main exhibits are footwear and local toys. There are many shoes that were actually used by famous athletes of various genres, and the footwear is also developed from both domestic and international history, so it's definitely worth seeing. Giant Baba and Shizuka Arakawa are especially memorable. I also enjoyed looking at Western and Asian shoes. (Original) 以前このあたりを訪れることがあり、ずっと気になっていました。福山でも市街から外れた場所です。 もっとこじんまりしてると思ったらめちゃくちゃ敷地が広い！ 資料館も奥行きがとんでもないです。 展示物のメインは履物と郷土玩具です。 色んなジャンルの有名スポーツ選手の実際使用したシューズがたくさんあったり、履物も国内の歴史☓世界の2軸で展開してるので見応え十分です。 ジャイアント馬場さんと荒川静香さんは特に記憶に強く残ってます。 西洋やアジアの靴なども見ていて楽しかったです。

(Translated by Google) I decided to visit Plat on a whim. It's relatively close though 😅 The exhibit contents were better than I expected. Brightly colored geta and local toys were on display. Machines for processing wood are also on display and are a must-see. There is also a footprint plaza designed by Taro Okamoto. 🙀 (Original) 思いつきでぷらっと訪問してみました。 割と近くなのですが😅 展示内容は想像以上に良かったです。 色鮮やかな下駄、郷土玩具が展示されておりました。 木材を加工する機械等も展示されておりそちらも必見です。 岡本太郎氏デザインの足あと広場もあります。🙀

Maybe it was busy, so there was a long wait for the food, but it was delicious. (Original) お肉が美味しく、お値段も手頃なので いつも夜に行き、焼き肉たべてましたが、久しぶりにランチタイムに行き　焼き肉ランチ食べました。物価高の為、仕方ないけどお値段上がってました。 忙しいのか、食事来るまでの待ち時間が長かったけど美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) I really wanted to eat tonkatsu, so I searched for it and found it nearby. I used to look at it often when I was passing by, but it seemed a little high-end, so I didn't have a chance to go to see it, so I finally got around to it. At noon, the parking lot in front of the store (7 spaces) is full and difficult to park. I came to the store just before 2pm on a Sunday, and there were 3 groups eating there. The counter is also spacious (4 people), so it's easy for even one person to come. It's also a restaurant where you'll want to bring your girlfriend to eat. (Original) どうしても、とんかつが食べたくて検索したら近くで見つけました。 よく通りかかりに見てたんですが、ちょっと高級そうで、なかなか機会がなくてようやくこれました。 昼時は店前の駐車場(７台)は、いっぱいなんでなかなか止めにくいです。 私は、日曜日の14時前に来店しましたが３組が食事されてました。 カウンターも広め(４人)なので一人でも来やすいです。 また、彼女を連れて食事に来たいと思えるお店です。

(Translated by Google) There are many delicious restaurants in Fuchu City, but I think this is one where you can easily pop in and enjoy delicious food at a reasonable price. This time, I ordered the Chinese soba set. A set of Onomichi ramen-style ramen, fried chicken, rice, and pickles. You can also choose miso ramen for the set ramen! Fuchu City is famous for producing miso, so I guess that was a good thing (lol). It was delicious. (Original) 府中市には美味しいお店がたくさんありますが、このお店も気軽に入れて、リーズナブルなお値段で美味しくいただけるお店かと思います。私は今回、中華そばセットを注文しました。尾道ラーメン風のラーメンと唐揚げ、御飯、お漬物のセットです。セットのラーメンは、味噌ラーメンを選ぶこともできます!、こちら、府中市は、味噌の名産地ですからそれも良かったかな（笑）美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) To finish off the Yakiniku meal, I ate Chinese noodles. (Original) 焼肉のしめに中華そば食べました

(Translated by Google) It's easy for even one person to enter. The Kalbi bowl set meal was delicious and cost-effective. (Original) 1人でも入りやすいです。 カルビ丼定食、コスパ高めで美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) I had the Yakiniku bowl set and squid leg tempura. Yakiniku-don uses high-quality meat and is very delicious. The kimchi, salad, and pickled radish that come with the dish are also delicious. In particular, the taste of the pickled daikon radish was very delicious with just the right amount of vinegar and sweetness. It's a yakiniku restaurant, but the squid leg tempura was also very delicious. They also stock good seafood. I wanted to eat shrimp tempura, but they didn't have it in stock. I imagine the shrimp tempura would also be delicious. There are repeats. The atmosphere of the shop is also clean and comfortable. The parking lot in front of the store is wide and easy to park. (Original) 焼肉丼セットとイカ下足の天ぷらを食べました。 焼肉丼は、肉が良い肉を使っていて、大変美味しいですね。 付け出しに付いているキムチ、サラダ、大根の酢漬けも美味しい。 特に大根の酢漬けの味が酢の加減と甘さが丁度良く大変美味しいかったです。 焼肉屋ですが、イカ下足の天ぷらもすごい美味しいかったです。海鮮も良い商品を仕入れられていますね。 小エビの天ぷらが食べたかったのですが、仕入れがなかったです。小エビの天ぷらも美味しいと想像されます。 リピートありですね。 お店の雰囲気も綺麗で居心地が良いです。 店前の駐車場も幅が広くとってあるので駐車しやすいです。

(Translated by Google) Both the fried shrimp and fried chicken were delicious. (Original) 海老フライ、唐揚げ共に美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) This is my second visit. I thought I would be able to meet cats if I came here, but when I went there, there were two cats. It is a quite historical spot, with castle ruins, history, spectacular scenery, and a monument of Basho's haiku. I think it would be a good idea to go to a place nearby where you can take pictures of cats.

(Translated by Google) Enpukuji Temple is located at the end of a small slope of stairs. This place is also located on a slope, so you can see the view of Tomonoura fishing port from the top. Temples are generally quiet and calm. A stone monument was discovered in a broken state on the grounds of a temple. I don't think it was caused by human skill, so I'm wondering if this was caused by a natural disaster.

I didn't see any stray cats at all (=^･^=) Where are they? Maybe they were rescued? You can't get to this place by car or bicycle... It's inconvenient, but I like it quite a bit It really feels like a power spot... When you learn about the history, you realize once again what an amazing temple it is Studying history as an adult Tomonoura is interesting [From Yahoo] Before the Sengoku period, the temple was located on an island floating in the sea, but with the construction of Tomo Castle around 1600, it became connected to the mainland. It is said that it was relocated and constructed on the site of Ogashima Castle around 1610. During the Edo period, it was used as a branch temple of the Shingon sect Myoo-in. When Korean envoys came to Japan, their superiors stayed here. It is also said that it was used as lodgings for the Kishu Domain during negotiations over the sinking of the Iroha Maru. #Enpukuji Temple #Shrines and Temples #Shrine Stamps #Power Spots #Hiroshima Prefecture #Fukuyama City #Tomonoura #HIT Hiroshima Tourism Ambassador #Fukuyama Ambassador #Seto Inland Sea #Port Town #Tomonoura Daishi #Spreading the Charms of Bingo Team (Original) 圓福寺 福山市鞆町 鞆の浦のほぼ突先、半島になっている 階段を登った小高い丘にある圓福寺 お寺の裏手からは弁天島、仙酔島が望め 正面には鞆港の港まちの風景が 静かな境内からこんな景色が眺められるなんて 超好立地じゃん! 野良猫さんには全然会えなかった(=^･^=) 何処にいるんだろ？ 保護されたのかな？ 車でも自転車でも行けない、この場所… 不便だけど結構気に入ったかも 正にパワースポットって感じ… 歴史を知ると凄いお寺なんだと改めて気付く 大人になって歴史の勉強をしている 鞆の浦って面白い 【以下Yahooより】 戦国時代より前に寺院の立つ場所は海に浮かぶ島でしたが、慶長5年(1600)頃の鞆城建造に伴って陸と続く形となりました。慶長15年(1610)頃に大可島城の跡地に移転し築造されたと伝えられています。江戸時代には真言宗明王院の末寺として使用されました。朝鮮通信使が来日した際には上官が宿泊しました。また、いろは丸沈没事件の談判の際には、紀州藩の宿舎として使用されたとも伝えられています。 #圓福寺 #神社仏閣 #御朱印 #パワースポット #広島県 #福山市 #鞆の浦 #HITひろしま観光大使 #福山アンバサダー #瀬戸内海 #港町 #鞆之浦大師 #備後の魅力を伝え隊

Fukuzenji Temple was crowded with people, but this is a quiet and recommended spot. In addition, there is a rescue cat shelter nearby, and many cute and tame jumbo cats come to pet you. I never thought I would be healed by cats in a place like this! I ended up staying longer than I expected. We are looking for foster parents, but the cats living here are extremely happy.

This building was used as a gate in Fukuyama castle during Edo period but transferred here after Meiji Restoration.The family who had sold “Homei-shu” bought it when they rebuilt their store after fire. You can see Japanese tradicional architecture and taste Homei -shu here. It was sake which was a gift during Edo period among lords and contains a lot of medical ingredients called”Kampo”. Its alcohol level is more than 13% but you may not notice that it’s sake because of its sweetness. Este edificio era una parte de castillo durante Edo periodo y es la tienda que vende Sake ahora. Allí pueden beber chopa de Homei-shu y comprarlo.

(Translated by Google) This is a historic sake store. I didn't go inside the store, but I took pictures of the surrounding area. The shop is located in a very quaint building! (Original) 歴史ある保命酒の酒屋さんです。 お店には入ってないですが、周辺を撮影しました。 なかなか趣のある建物の中にお店が入ってます！

(Translated by Google) This is the brewery of Hōmeishu. I bought Hōmeishu several times. The building also has a nice sense of history. Hōmeishu is alcoholic beverage steeped with medicinal herbs such as Chinese medicine. It's a drink like Yomeishu. You can buy it at stations and souvenir shops, It's also good to buy it at home. By the way, I bought and drank various types of Hōmeishu. To be honest, I had no idea which sake was delicious or what the differences were between brewers. The strong medicinal taste and sweetness remain on the tongue. It's a different story if it's pickled with plums, yuzu, etc. and has a different flavor. We recommend diluting it with water or carbonated water rather than drinking it straight. (Original) 保命酒の蔵元です。何度か保命酒を買いました。 建物も歴史を感じて良いですね。 保命酒とはお酒に漢方薬など薬草を漬け込んだ 養命酒のようなお酒の事です。 駅やお土産屋さんでも買えますが、 ご本家で買うのもまた良し。 因みに保命酒は色々買って飲んだのですが、 正直どこのお酒が美味しいとか蔵元さんとの違いとかは分からなかったです。薬っぽい味と甘味の強さが舌に残るので。 梅や柚などと一緒に漬け込んだ味わいの違うものなら別ですが。ストレートより水割りか炭酸水で割るのがお勧め。

(Translated by Google) This is a long-established store selling Hōmeishu. You can sample delicious Hōmeishu here. In addition to the regular flavors, you can also sample apricot, plum, and ginger homeishu. I bought Anzu's lifesake and went home. It's sweet, easy to drink, and very delicious. Ordinary homeishu is also very delicious, so I mix it with milk and drink it every night. Your body will feel warm and relaxed. It seems to contain plenty of amino acids. The flavor is mild and it's delicious to drink. I was surprised at the depth of its history when I learned that it was also served to Perry. (Original) 保命酒の老舗です。美味しい保命酒を、ここで試飲させてもらえます。普通の味のものだけでなく、杏・梅・生姜の保命酒も試飲できます。杏の保命酒を買って帰りました。甘くて飲みやすく、とても美味しい保命酒です。普通の保命酒も、とても美味しいので、毎晩牛乳で割って飲んでいます。体がポカポカして、リラックスできます。アミノ酸がたっぷり入っているそうです。薬味がまろやかで、美味しく飲めます。 ペリーにも出されたお酒だと知り、その歴史の深さに驚きました。

(Translated by Google) I happened to see it on TV the day before I was planning to go to Tomonoura, and I first heard about Hōmeishu. It contains 16 kinds of condiments, and I really wanted it because it seemed to be good for the body. The ginger flavor seemed to be good for the body, so I bought it and took it home. It was easy to drink, warm and delicious with the spiciness of the ginger as an accent. It also contains plenty of amino acids and is full of health benefits. (Original) たまたま鞆の浦に行こうとしていた前日にテレビで見て、初めて保命酒のことを知りました。16種類の薬味が含まれていて、体に良さそうだなととっても欲しくなりました。生姜味が体に良さそうなので、買って帰りました。飲みやすくて、体がぽかぽかして、生姜の辛みもアクセントで美味しかったです。 アミノ酸もたっぷり含んでいて、体にいいこと満載です。

(Translated by Google) In addition to Homeishu, Homeishu flavored with plum, apricot, and ginger is also delicious. (Original) 保命酒はもちろん梅、杏子、生姜の保命酒も美味しいです。

(Translated by Google) ▼The birth of Nakamura-made Homeishu In 1659, Nakamura Kichibei, the son of the Nakamura family, a Chinese medicine doctor in Osaka, made Homeishu by steeping Chinese herbs in mirin sake, which was then brewed in Tomonotsu, Bingo. It is said that the original Homeishu was brewed at the current Ota family residence as "Jurokumi Jioh Homeishu". In an era when food culture was not as rich as it is today, Homeishu's sweetness and medicinal properties were highly valued. Homeishu, which was both alcohol and medicine, was sold at high prices to feudal lords and wealthy merchants as a specialty product representing the Fukuyama domain. In addition, many Homeishu sake bottles have been discovered in the village of Iwami Ginzan, which is registered as a World Heritage Site, proving that it was highly valued as a source of nutrition, strength, and vitality for the people of that time. ▼ Okamoto Kametaro Honten, inheritor of Nakamura Kichibei's original "Homeishu" During the Edo period, only the original Nakamura family had exclusive permission from the lord of Fukuyama to manufacture and sell Homeishu. The Okamoto family (Okamoto Kametaro Honten) started its business in the sake industry in 1855, when Homeishu was still the exclusive property of the Nakamura family. Later, as times changed and the Meiji period began, the monopoly on Homeishu was lifted, and many breweries, including our company, became involved in Homeishu production. In the latter half of the Meiji period, the original Nakamura family closed its doors as a Homeishu brewery, and the Okamoto family inherited the Nakamura family's traditional signboard and all of its tools, which continue to this day. The "big dragon signboard" enshrined inside Okamoto Kametaro Honten and the old Bizen Homeishu jar on the left are also said to be historic items inherited from the Nakamura family at that time. (Original) ▼中村製保命酒の誕生 万治二年(1659年)大阪の漢方医であった「中村家」の子息中村吉兵衛氏によって、当時備後鞆の津で醸されていた味醂酒に、中国産の薬味ハーブを漬け込んで造られた保命酒。現太田家住宅の場所で「十六味地黄保命酒」として醸造を始めたのが保命酒の元祖とされています。 現代のように食文化が豊かでない時代、保命酒の持つ甘味と薬効は貴重なものでした。「酒であり、薬でもあった」保命酒は、福山藩を代表する特産品として、大名や豪商相手に高値で売買されていました。また、世界遺産に登録された石見銀山の集落から沢山の保命酒徳利が発見されており、当時の人々の滋養強壮活力源として重宝された証といえるでしょう。 ▼中村吉兵衛の元祖「保命酒」を受継ぐ岡本亀太郎本店 江戸時代、福山藩主より独占した保命酒製造販売の許可をもらっていたのは、元祖中村家だけでした。岡本家（岡本亀太郎本店）は、まだ保命酒が中村家の専売であった安政二年（1855年）に清酒業で生業を起こしました。その後、時代が変わり明治となると保命酒の専売も解かれて、弊社をはじめ多くの蔵元が保命酒製造に携わる中、明治の後期には元祖である中村家が保命酒業の暖簾を下ろされることとなり、岡本家が中村家伝統の看板と道具一式を譲り受けて今に至ります。岡本亀太郎本店内に鎮座する『大きな龍の看板』と左手にある古備前の保命酒甕も、当時中村家から譲り受けた由緒ある品だそうです。

(Translated by Google) I was looking forward to Hiroshima's fried oysters. The restaurant recommended it and they were proud of their large oysters, so I excitedly ordered it from the ticket machine without paying attention to the rest of the menu. It was very crowded that day and we had to wait quite a while. The buzzer that was given to me rang, so I went to pick it up a bit... What is this? Small, few... Are they as small as the oysters you see locally? I was very disappointed in the taste, as I had high expectations. The oysters from Okayama Prefecture were more delicious.

(Translated by Google) 2014/5 visit The season for couples' trips has arrived again this year. This year, we will travel around Kyushu in 9 days. First up is lunch on the first day. I left home early in the morning and stopped by around 2pm. My husband had the Taishio ramen set. I had the grated conger eel tempura bowl. Serving food is very fast. And I don't know why, but it's not piping hot. Even though I have a cat tongue, I can eat it without fussing. The conger eel tempura bowl is topped with two very small conger eel tempura pieces, shiso tempura, and chopped okra. I put some grated yam in a teapot on top of it, and it's still sloshing around. The okra was unusually sticky, but it was delicious with the yam and sweet sauce. My husband's ramen included grilled sea bream fish bones and was fragrant and delicious, but the rice was not so good. Well, it wasn't piping hot either.

Very nice experience. Though taking photos inside the museum is limited. I Suggest taking a friend with you as a lot to take pictures inside need someone very hard if alone

the castle is nice, but the highlight in Fukuyama is the small Japanese garden below the castle.

The location is so convenient for travel, it is next to Fukuyama station, only few minutes walk. I went there during Christmas time, it has night light show. It is a bit cold but amazing. There are few museums around it. It is not much different from other castle in Japan.

One of the best castles and the train goes through the castle property.

We had two different type of tickets. But it was not clear at all. Staff gave contradictory info.. As local I would advise but as outsider not.

The castles throughout Japan are architecture gems. The ones that are still standing are true survivors. They been reconstructed and preserved. This one I think is more grand than the Hiroshima Castle, even though Hiroshima Castle surround areas are more open. I did enjoy visiting this place and definitely a must visit if you are in the area.

Really interesting Castle. A few interactive areas, good short clips with English subtitles and the view from the top!

Worth the visit. Quite big, cheap (290 Yen) and English explanation. The archeological site presented was one the first in Japan to be discovered. Very interesting

Nice place to spend 20-30 minutes

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful museum. It is not very large. The exhibits introduce local history. The exhibits give an insight into ancient life. The entrance is spacious and has an open-ceiling structure. It has a sense of openness. Elevator is available. It is very close to JR Fukuyama Station, and I think it takes less than 10 minutes on foot. The surrounding area is also nicely maintained and is a great place to relax. Next to it is the Fukuyama Art Museum, and a well-maintained garden, and next to that, you can see the beautiful Fukuyama Castle. The admission fee is cheap, and there is a discount when you join the museum next door. There is also parking. One thing that is a bit disappointing is that the road from the station is a bit bleak, and you have to walk along the train tracks, but it would be better if it was maintained a bit better. (Original) 大変綺麗な博物館。 それ程広くは有りません。 展示物は、地元の歴史の紹介。 古代の暮らしが分かる展示品。 エントランスが広くて、吹き抜け構造。 開放感有りました。 エレベータ完備。 ＪＲ福山駅からも、直ぐ近く、 徒歩で１０分はかからないと思います。 周辺も綺麗に整備されて、憩いの場。 隣には、ふくやま美術館、 お手入れをされている庭園、その横に、 福山城が綺麗に見えました。 入館料も安い、隣の美術館と合わせて割引がありました。 駐車場も有りました。 少し残念なのは、駅からの道路が殺風景で、 線路沿いを歩くのですが、 もう少し整備すると良い。

(Translated by Google) I went to the Hiroshima Prefectural Museum of History. There was a calligraphy exhibition going on, so I went inside to take a look. There were many wonderful works. The rest area also had a great view of the outside, and there was a rest area with a view of Fukuyama Castle, which was really beautiful. (Original) 広島県立歴史博物館に行ってきました。書道の展示会がやっていて中を見てきました。素晴らしい作品がたくさんありました。休憩スペースも外が一望でき、福山城が見える休憩スペースもありすごくきれいでした。

(Translated by Google) Visited in May 2025! Kusado Sengenmachi Ruins are the remains of a port and market town of common people from the Kamakura to Muromachi periods! We had studied the lives of some of the powerful in textbooks, but here we can learn about and experience the lives of the common people who made up the majority! At the event, we viewed old maps from the Moriya Hisashi Collection! We were able to see the process by which people at that time created maps with little information and gradually expanded their world! (Original) ２０２５年５月に訪問しました！ 草戸千軒町遺跡は、鎌倉時代 から室町時代 にかけての港町・市場町の庶民の遺跡です！ 一部の権力者の生活は教科書で勉強していましたが、ここでは大半を占める庶民の生活を知り体験することができます！ イベントで守屋壽コレクションで古地図を見学しました！当時の人たちが、少ない情報のなかで地図を作成し、徐々に世界を広げていく過程がみられました！

(Translated by Google) The full-scale replica of Kusado Senken is amazing. It's authentic and gives a realistic impression of what life was like at the time. To be honest, the other exhibits are a bit plain, but I think it's worth going to see just this model. (Original) 草戸千軒の原寸大復元模型が素晴らしいです。本格的で、当時の生活の様子がリアルに伝わってきます。他の展示は正直地味…ですが、この模型だけでも見に行く価値があると思います。

(Translated by Google) This museum is located inside Fukuyama Castle. I visited after receiving a discount coupon at the castle tower. The museum exhibits materials excavated from an archaeological site that was on an island in the nearby river. There's even a replica (full-scale?) of a settlement, which is very impressive. The lockers were free. (Original) 福山城内にある博物館。 天守で割引券を貰ったので来館。 近くの川の中洲にあった遺跡？を発掘した資料とかを展示してます。集落の再現模型(原寸？)なんかもあって気合いが入ってます。 ロッカーが無料でした。

Beautiful rose park, but autumn is not the season for roses

It will be lovely to visit in May as the roses will be in full bloom. Lovely garden to take a slow stroll around the garden.

Good place for relax on the open space

It is extremely annoying that 90% of the names of the roses are not written clearly on plates in Japanese and Latin alphabet. For most of the roses you have to go on your knees and crawl search underneath the bushes to find a small strap with handwritten katakana on it and do a Google translation. And even that doesn't work in many places because those tags are dirty and totally unreadable. Only at the section of princesses they have proper name plates. Especially when you come to such a park it is to inspire yourself which roses to purchase. So that's why such naming that also includes the name of the breeder and the year of release are very important. The design of the park itself is very beautiful and when we went there the roses were in full bloom and looked very healthy, no disease on their leaves. Stunning and very enviable. It is also very beautiful how they have the white iceberg blooming at a higher level and underneath the lavender color cat mint grasses that fill up the space gracefully. Also nice that they have many modern roses especially those from Rosa Orientis and Kawamoto. Everything is kept extremely clean there are no weeds around the roses, a very well kept manicured park worthy of such a name of the city of roses.

No roses at all

Peaceful with various species of roses

My child loves to play here

Listening to the trees sway in the background whilst being immersed by the scenery was just brilliant. Please visit.

It is a little bit far from town by bicycle.

Peaceful

(Translated by Google) I came from Matsuyama on a mountain road, so I visited after temple number 58. There is a parking fee of 100 yen at the donation office. From the Shikoku 88 Temples Association website There have been many shipwrecks in this area along the Seto Inland Sea coast. Eifuku-ji Temple has been worshiped since ancient times as a temple for safety on land and sea, and for increased longevity and prosperity, as Kobo Daishi performed a memorial service for the sea god here. According to the legend, it was during the Kōnin era that Kobo Daishi made a pilgrimage to this area at the request of Emperor Saga (reigned 809-23). ​​He performed a goma offering ceremony on the summit of Mt. Futō, praying for the easing of wind and waves on the inland sea and shipwrecks. On the day of the completion of the prayer, the wind and waves subsided, and the shadow of Amida Buddha floated over the sea. It is said that the temple was founded when a hall was built on the summit of Mt. Futo and this statue of Amida Nyorai was enshrined as the principal image, and it became a temple prayed to by the emperor. Eifuku-ji also has a history of mixing Shinto and Buddhism, dating back to the Heian period. In 859, the first year of the Jogan era, the monk Gyokyo of Daian-ji Temple in Yamato received a divine message from Usa Hachiman (Oita) and was sailing offshore to found a branch shrine as Otokoyama Hachiman (Iwashimizu Hachiman) in Yamashiro (Kyoto), when he encountered a storm and was washed ashore here. However, since the shape of Mt. Futo resembles Otokoyama in Yamashiro, and the principal image of Amida Nyorai is also the local Buddha of Hachiman Daibosatsu, he is said to have invited Hachiman Myojin to be enshrined within the grounds, constructed a shrine building, and founded the combined Shinto and Buddhism of Katsuoka Hachiman-gu Shrine. This Hachiman shrine is also known as "Iyo's Iwashimizu Hachiman Shrine," and there is a stone tower signpost with the name of the shrine and temple engraved on it, "Shikoku No. 57." Due to the Meiji government's Shinbutsu Bunri (law to separate Shinto and Buddhism), the temple was moved from its old location to its current location halfway up the mountain, and the shrine and temple became independent. The current Daishido hall was originally built by relocating a building that was at the top of the mountain. Also, a handwritten sutra book from the mid-Edo period in Eifuku-ji's possession has the name "Betto Eifuku-ji" written in ink, and another sutra book printed with a woodblock from the Edo period also has the name "Betto Eifuku-ji," indicating that sutra offerings have been made since ancient times, not just since the Meiji Restoration. (Original) 松山から山の中の道で来たので、58番の後にお参り。 こちら納経所にて駐車場お気持ち100円です。 四国八十八ヶ所霊場会HPより 瀬戸内海沿岸のこの近海では、海難事故が絶えなかった。栄福寺は、弘法大師が海神供養を修したことから、海陸安全、福寿増長の祈願寺として往古から信仰されている。 縁起によると、嵯峨天皇（在位809〜23）の勅願により、大師がこの地を巡教したのは弘仁年間であった。内海の風波、海難の事故の平易を祈って、府頭山の山頂で護摩供を修法された。その満願の日、風波はおさまり、海上には阿弥陀如来の影向が漂った。この阿弥陀如来の尊像を府頭山頂で堂宇を建て、本尊として安置したのが創建といわれ、勅願寺とされた。 栄福寺には、神仏混合の歴史もあり、その由来も平安時代に遡る。貞観元年（859）、大和・大安寺の行教上人が宇佐八幡（大分）の霊告をうけて、その分社を山城（京都）の男山八幡（石清水八幡）として創建するため、近海を航行中に暴風雨に遭い、この地に漂着した。ところが府頭山の山容が山城の男山と似ており、しかも本尊の阿弥陀如来は八幡大菩薩の本地仏でもあることから、境内に八幡明神を勧請して社殿を造営、神仏合体の勝岡八幡宮を創建したと伝えられる。この八幡宮は「伊予の石清水八幡宮」とも呼ばれ、「四国五十七番」と仲良く寺社名を刻んだ石塔の道標が立っている。 明治新政府の神仏分離令により、寺は旧地から山の中腹になる現在地に移転し、また神社と寺はそれぞれ独立した。現在の大師堂は、山頂にあった堂舎を移築した由緒がある。また、栄福寺が所蔵している江戸中期の手書きの納経帳にも「別当 栄福寺」の墨書きがあり、また同じく江戸時代の版木で押された納経帳でも「別当 栄福寺」の名がみられ、納経を明治維新からではなく、古来より行っていたことがわかる。

(Translated by Google) 57 Ban Eifuku-ji Temple lies at the foot of the mountain, accessible without a steep climb, making it a relaxing stop for those on a long hike. The temple's location, off the main road, allows for a particularly quiet and peaceful environment, free from the distractions of traffic and creating a tranquil atmosphere. The main hall, dedicated to Amitabha Buddha, is small yet simple and majestic. The grounds are neatly maintained, and since there weren't many worshippers during my visit, it's a great opportunity to stroll and explore the area at your leisure. Most interestingly, two stone frogs are placed on a table in the temple. They look adorable, adding a touch of intimacy to the small temple, as if silently protecting travelers. Overall, Eifuku-ji Temple is a modest little temple, lacking any particularly ornate architecture or grand grounds. However, this creates a simple atmosphere, making it a perfect stopover on the way. After your visit, sit back and listen to the wind and birdsong at the foot of the mountain before continuing your journey, and you'll feel completely relaxed. (Original) 57 番榮福寺在山腳下，不需要爬坡就能抵達，對走遍路的人來說算是很輕鬆的一站。寺院位置不在大馬路邊，所以環境特別安靜，少了車聲的干擾，氣氛很清幽。 本堂供奉的是阿彌陀如來，建築雖然不大，但樸實莊嚴。境內整理得乾淨整齊，來的時候參拜的人不多，可以慢慢走、慢慢看。最有趣的是，在寺院的桌上擺著兩隻石青蛙，看起來很可愛，讓這座小寺多了一點親切感，也像是默默守護著旅人。 榮福寺整體算是低調的小寺，沒有特別華麗的建築或宏大的境內，但正因如此，氛圍很單純，適合在路途中短暫停留。參拜完後坐一下，聽聽山腳下的風聲和鳥鳴，再繼續往前走，心情會變得很放鬆。

(Translated by Google) Temple No. 57 of the 88 Shikoku Temples It's a 10-minute drive from temple No. 56, Taisanji. There's ample parking, and you can make donations at the donation office. This is another compact temple. It's located at the foot of the mountain, so there are a few steps, but the ground is generally flat, making it easy to visit. (Original) 四国八十八ヶ所五十七番札所 五十六番の泰山寺から車で１０分。 整備された駐車場あり、納経所でお気持ちでお支払い。 こちらもコンパクトなお寺。 山の麓にあるので、ほんの少しは階段があるけど、基本的にはほぼ平坦でお参りしやすい。

I don't like leaving negative reviews however, I was quite disappointed by one of the monks who gave me my stamp as a henro. He barely looked at me, completed my stamp with little care and tossed my book back at me, with the book cover open and pages askew. Didn't say a single thing to me. I had to set my pages back and fix my book when I left the temple, I have never been treated so rudely by any of the temple staff before. I think someone else should be providing the stamps as this monk as I think he doesn't want to be there and he is representing the temple poorly

As I was walking towards the temple I could not see it because it is kind of hidden. Don’t worry it is not up the hill. It is small and quiet but lovely.

•Not really different from most shrines in Japan I accidentally went to this shrine, I was trying to get to Imabari station which was 5k away from me. I decided to hitchhike, but, instead of the station, the kind Japanese man brought me to this shrine and told me to pray. It was 5.1k away from the station, and no one else stopped for me so I had to walk the entire way.

This temple is not too bad. Pretty clean. However, I was really disappointed this temple because two young Buddhist priests were super arrogant and disrespectful. I’m never going back to there.

Ohenro 88 pilgrimage

Nothing too special compared to the other temples.

(Translated by Google) 59-Ban Iyo Kokubunji Temple (Imabari City), whose main deity is Yakushi Nyorai, known as the guardian deity, is particularly appealing for those seeking health. The temple is conveniently located, with a flat, easy-to-walk path. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a stone tablet, rather than a typical gate, creating a rustic yet aloof atmosphere. The first thing you see upon entering is the "Yakushi no Tsubasa" ("Medical Master Pot")—a small pot engraved with various body parts, said to be rubbed gently against the desired area, creating a particularly ceremonial atmosphere. Nearby, a statue of the master, known for its handshakes, is said to allow only one wish, a reminder of single-mindedness. These small details add a touch of interest to the entire visit. The main hall, while unassuming, exudes a sense of history, the grounds are immaculately maintained, and the overall atmosphere is tranquil. Tourists are rare, mostly locals, lending the area a sense of local charm. After visiting this temple, you'll feel at ease and at peace. For travelers on a journey, Kokubunji Temple offers a place to pause, relax, and refocus, a moment to calm your mind before setting off again. (Original) 59 番伊予國分寺（今治市），本尊是 藥師如來，說是守護之佛，求健康特別有感。寺院位置方便，平坦好走，進門就看見石碑而非典型的山門，質樸卻不冷淡。 走進來首先看到的是“藥師の壺”——一個刻著身體各部位的小壺，據說可以輕輕摩擦想要治療的位置，感覺特別有儀式感。旁邊還有一尊能握手的大師像，據說只許一個願望，好像提醒人要專一。這些小細節讓整趟拜訪多了一點趣味性。 本堂雖然不華麗，但頗有歷史感，庭院整理得很乾淨，整體氛圍很平靜。遊客不多，多是當地人來參拜，讓整個環境多了在地感。走完這站，心裡會覺得安心舒服。 對於正在走遍路的旅人來說，國分寺是那種值得稍微停下來放鬆、調整腳步的地點，也是一種能靜下心來再出發的時刻。

(Translated by Google) A temple related to Ankokuji Ekei. Ekei was said to be a member of the Aki Takeda clan, and after the fall of the Takeda clan, he became the chief priest of Aki Ankoku-ji Temple (Hiroshima City). He remained a monk and belonged to the Mori clan, and demonstrated excellent negotiation skills in diplomacy with Hashiba Hideyoshi. At the Battle of Sekigahara, he sided with the Western army and was defeated and executed. It is said that he and Terumoto Mori worked hard to revive Ankokuji Temple in Tomo, Fukuyama City.

I highly recommend you visit. (Original) 重要文化財を擁する、鞆の浦の数ある古寺の一つです。拝観料は300円でした(入り口にある箱に入れる)。ぜひ訪れてみることをお勧めします。

(Translated by Google) If you're a history buff, you'll know Ankokuji Temple. Since the frontage is narrow and there is an admission fee, many people turned back, but I thought it would be a waste to turn back without seeing it. It is true that the temple is quite small now, but you can feel back in time. But is this all there is to most people? If you are interested, I recommend that you stop by. (Original) 歴史好きなら、知っている、あの安国寺さんです。間口は狭く、拝観料が有料なので、引き返す人がたくさんいましたが、見ずに引き返すのはもったいないと思いました。確かに今はかなり小さなお寺ですが、往時へと想いを馳せる事が出来ます。でもほとんどの人が、これだけ？と思うかもしれませんので、興味のあるかたが、立ち寄る事をオススメします

(Translated by Google) This temple is located in Tomonoura, famous for Ponyo on the Cliff. This temple is associated with Ashikaga Takauji, Mori Motonari, and Ankokuji Kei, who worked secretly between the Mori clan and the Oda clan during the Sengoku period. Although it is not very large, the temple was built in the mid-Muromachi period and is an important cultural property. The cherry blossoms were also starting to bloom. Above the main hall, there are the ruins of the burnt down hall and a garden. There is a small parking lot, but the road is quite narrow.

(Translated by Google) This is the temple where Ankokuji Keiji, who was executed in the Battle of Sekigahara, lived.

(Translated by Google) I didn't plan to stop by since it seemed like a long walk from Yoyato, but when I was looking at the map in front of the police box, a local man who was passing by praised this place, so I decided to stop by. It's a little tiring because you're climbing a steep hill, but it's not a big deal considering the distance. From that crank, which is famous for traffic jams, it's a leisurely 10-minute walk passing in front of Myoenji Temple. Even my mother in her 70s with knee pain was able to go. There is a parking lot, so you can go up by car, although the road is narrow. Best of all, the view is amazing. You can see a panoramic view of Tomonoura. There is a bench next to the bell tower, so I think it would be a good idea to sit and think for a while.

(Translated by Google) The stone steps are steep 😓, but the views are great. Of course, there's no parking, so is there any other way to get there than walking? This is the second oldest temple in Tomonoura. It's said to have been founded by Kobo Daishi (Kukai) in 826. It later burned down, but was rebuilt during the Keicho era by Tomonoura Castle's lord, Osaki Genhan. The temple seal is handwritten. There were many stray cats on the south side of the stone steps.

A great place to just relax and take in Hiroshima’s rich history. Don’t forget to visit Tago for Hiroshimayaki after!

Well worth a visit as it is a beautiful castle with a rich history. As of 2025, they are still in the process of updating to multi language signs, so much of the detailed history is in Japanese only. However, an English phamlet is provided free on entry with ticket purchases.

The castle/museum: The castle tour/museum was 500¥ which was affordable to me. Had some cool simulators to play on the upper floors for both kids and adults. Lots of history. Not allowed to take photos for obvious reasons in certain parts. The view from the top was nice along with a good breeze. Pleasant weather made it nice. 5 floors, lots of stairs for those with good knees, elevator for those without. Nice view of fukuyama from the top floor. Free: You can walk around the courtyard for free if you want an affordable attraction to see. There is also a playground for young ones or those young at heart.

This is a pretty nice castle. Not something you would go out your way to find, but if you are in the area a must, it is more modern than most and the insight feels less traditional than other ones. Definitely worth a trip.

Fukuyama Castle park is basically the park area which surrounds the castle. It is usually free to enter and is a nice green space just a few minutes walk from the north exit of Fukuyama train station. There are toilets here and since the castle has recently been renovated the walking paths are in good condition. Currently until January 29th 2023 there is a teamLab exhibition in the park, mainly in front of the castle. This costs ¥1500. The lower part of the park below the outer castle walls is still free to enter and open 24 hours.

What you should know before visit Fukuyama-jo Park: - This area encircles the Castle of Fukuyama. - ‎The castle dates back to 1619, and both, park and castle are located in a hill. - ‎The area is small, and you should spend 1-2 hours visiting (including inside the tower). - ‎The ticket to visit the tower is 200¥. Monday is closed. - ‎The are is beside the Fukuyama train station, if this station is in your way, get off for a couple hours to visit it, and then continue your trip. I recommend visit this place.

A must stop if you are going by. Literally a stone's throw away from the station and an absolute gem! Highly recommend night viewing

I love this place, so beautiful

Nice place

(Translated by Google) I immediately went to visit. Inari Shrine next to Fukuyama Castle! Just before the date changed, all the locals started lining up. This year's New Year started with a visit to this shrine. It's great that the lanterns are giving a nice light! I was fascinated by the lanterns on the way up the stairs. (Original) 早速お参りで行きました。 福山城に隣接した稲荷神社です！日付が変わる直前になると地元の人たちが皆並び始めました。 今年の年始はここの神社の参拝から始まりました 提灯が良い感じに灯りを灯していて良いですね！ 階段登る道中の提灯に魅了されてました。

(Translated by Google) During a tour of Fukuyama Castle I visited the shrine. The area is not very large, but Several shrines were located together. You can receive a stamp. This is the first time I've seen a water sensor. (Original) 福山城見学の時に 参拝させて頂きました。 敷地はあまり広くありませんが 複数の神社が一緒に入っていました。 御朱印を頂けます。 手水のセンサーは初めて見ました

(Translated by Google) I visited at the end of September 2025. After climbing the stairs called the West Approach from the park parking lot, the shrine appears at the end of a narrow alley. It was a small but quiet shrine. Perhaps because it was a weekday morning, there was no one else there when I visited. Looking around, I saw the castle tower of Fukuyama Castle right there. The castle tower, with its black walls, was different from the one in front, and this was directly behind the shrine, which is said to protect against evil spirits. I'm sure Sanzo, as mentioned in the history of the shrine, is always protecting the shrine. Thank you for allowing me to visit. (Original) 2025年9月末に参拝。公園駐車場からの西参道という階段を登り切り、細い路地の先に現れる神社。小ぶりですが静かな佇まいのお社でした。平日の午前中のせいか他には誰もいない中でお参りをさせていただきました。 周りに目をやると福山城の天守閣がすぐそこに。正面とは違う黒壁の天守閣が見え、ここは真裏に当たり鬼門をまもる神社なんだそうです。由緒書きにもある三蔵さんがいつもお護りしているのでしょうね。良いお参りをさせていただき、ありがとうございました。

(Translated by Google) I visited the shrine and received a goshuin stamp. The hand wash is sensor type and water will come out when you approach it. I was surprised that the information about the shrine etc. was touch panel type. I was answered via the intercom at the company office. After writing the book, it will take some time to dry before it is returned to you, so I don't think it will appear on a different page. Above all, there was a pleasant scent of India ink. The footing on the west approach is a little rough, so please be careful. (Original) 参拝し御朱印をいただきました。 手水はセンサー式で近付けば水が出ます。 神社の案内等はタッチパネル式でビックリしました。 社務所にあるインターホンで対応してもらいました。記帳の後は時間をかけ乾燥し返却してもらえるので違うページに写る事は無いと思います。何より墨汁の良い香りが漂ってきました。 西参道は足元が少し悪いので気をつけて下さい。

(Translated by Google) I saw a worshiper who was looking for a ``koyori string'' for the 100th pilgrimage give up and go home from the shrine office because it seems he didn't have the money. After a while, a Shinto priest followed them out of the shrine office and said, ``The cord is only for counting, so please go ahead and pray.'' After hearing these words, the worshipers began to pray. 🙏 ⛩️⛩️⛩️ Sanzo Inari Shrine is a shrine that was enshrined as a guardian deity by the founder of Fukuyama, Katsunari Mizuno, when he built Fukuyama Castle. When Katsunari was 21 years old, he set out on a journey to wander and train as a warrior from Kariya Castle in Mikawa Province. At that time, I received the sacred object that my grandfather, Prince Tadamasa, had received from Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in Kyoto. Even during the battles in Shikoku and Kyushu, Lord Katsunari continued to hold onto the sacred object of worship, and was able to receive the blessings of Inari. In 1619, a castle was built in this area of ​​Fukuyama, and Sanzo Inari Shrine was enshrined on the north side (Kimon) of the castle as the guardian deity of Bingo. Since then, successive generations of the lords of Fukuyama Castle have enshrined it directly, and there have been many branch shrines within the domain. (Original) お百度参りの”こより紐”を求めていた参拝者の方が、お金を持ち合わせていなかったようで、社務所から諦めて帰るのを見かけました。しばらくして神職の方が社務所から追いかけて出てきて、『こより紐は数を数えるためだけのものですので、お参りはどうぞ行ってください』と声をかけられていました。その言葉を受けて、参拝者の方はお参りを始めていました。🙏 ⛩️⛩️⛩️ 三蔵稲荷神社は、福山の開祖、水野勝成公が福山城を築城する時に、守護神として祀った神社です。 勝成公は二十一歳の時、三河国刈屋の城より放浪と武者修行の旅に出ました。その際に、祖父、忠政公が京都伏見稲荷大社より受けられたご神体を授かりました。勝成公は、四国・九州での戦においてもご神体を肌身離さず持ち続け、お稲荷さんのご加護を受けることができました。元和五年(1619年)、この福山の地に城を築き、城内の北側（鬼門）に備後の国の守護神としてお祀りしたのが、三蔵稲荷神社の起源です。以来、代々の福山城主が直祭し、藩内には多くのご分社がありました。

I often come here to study. I've been visiting this place so long.

Nice place

(Translated by Google) It's 6am in early September. As if the intense heat of the day was a lie, the park was a little chilly in the early morning, and the dew-drenched trees and grass were deep green. A person (dog) walking. Crowd performing radio calisthenics. Sit on a bench in the shade of a tree and study (or read). When I'm tired, I drink the coffee I brewed. Fresh, cool, uncontaminated air passes through your nasal passages. Moderate green. Benches placed at appropriate intervals. I feel like studying in nature helps me stay focused. This is my favorite park in this area. (Original) 9月初旬の朝6時。 日中の猛暑が嘘のように、早朝の公園は少し肌寒く、露に濡れた木々や芝生の緑が濃い。散歩する人（犬）。ラジオ体操を行う群衆。 木陰のベンチに腰掛け、勉強（または読書）。疲れたら淹れてきた珈琲を飲む。 鼻腔を通る、何者にも汚されていない新鮮で冷えた空気。 適度な緑。適切な間隔で設置されたベンチ。自然の中で勉強すると、集中力が続くような気がする。 この界隈で、いちばんお気に入りの公園。

(Translated by Google) I found this on the way to Rose Park. This park is also full of roses. There are also restaurants, lawns, a war memorial, and a library next to the park. (Original) ばら公園に行く途中に発見。この公園も薔薇が充実してます。他にも公園内にレストラン、芝生のところ、戦争の慰霊碑などあり、図書館が隣接されてます。

(Translated by Google) Around the large lawn, there are a variety of beautiful facilities, including the Central Library (Rosecom), a covered rest area (pavilion, gazebo, benches, etc.), a cafe, a stone sculpture-like slide, restrooms, and a bicycle parking lot. The parking lot is in an adjacent building. In May 2025, the World Rose Congress, a global event called ROSE EXPO, and Fukuyama City's annual Rose Festival will be held at the same time, and this park will be bustling as one of the event venues. The roses in the park are not for this event, but are actually permanently installed. Fukuyama City's (Rosemind) This is because a citizen's activity as part of postwar reconstruction began with planting 1,000 roses, and now there are 1 million roses, which are being passed down. The pond in front of the library has also been restored to commemorate the events that took place during the war. There is also a peace memorial, and a thousand paper cranes have been dedicated. There is a cafe, and many people visit for lunch or coffee. Recently, this cafe has started serving takeaway drinks, so you can relax while looking out at the park. From Fukuyama Station. It's a 10-15 minute walk through the shopping district. If you take the city loop bus, it's a long way around from the north exit of Fukuyama Station, but you can get there from the bus stop [Rosecome]. If you use this bus, you'll pass through Rose Park, so you can enjoy sightseeing in the city while heading to Central Park. On the way back, it's convenient because the second stop from Rosecome is the south exit of Fukuyama Station. There are several events throughout the year, such as markets and seasonal events, so residents can find out about them through local information papers, the city hall website, or LINE. It is a recommended park with a wide range of facilities and is very well maintained. (Original) 広い芝生の周りに、中央図書館〘ローズコム〙・屋根付き休憩場（東屋、ガゼボ、ベンチ等）・Cafe・石のオブジェ風滑り台・お手洗い・駐輪場と、きれいな設備が充実している。 駐車場は、隣接したビルにある。 2025年5月世界バラ会議、ROSE EXPOという世界的なイベントと、福山市恒例のバラ祭りが同時開催され、この公園もイベント会場の1つとして賑わった。 公園の薔薇は、、このイベント用ではなく、実は常設されている。 福山市の〘ローズマインド〙 戦後の復興としての、市民活動が1000本の薔薇を植えることから始まり、現在は100万本となり継承されているからだ。 図書館前の池も、その戦争中にあった出来事を継承するために復活させている。平和の慰霊碑もあり、千羽鶴が奉納されている。 Cafeがあり、ランチやカフェで訪れる人も多い。最近はこのCafeの一角で、テイクアウトのドリンクを提供されているので、公園を眺めながらゆっくり過ごせる。 福山駅から。商店街を通り抜けると、徒歩10〜15分。 市内循環バスだと、福山駅北口からぐるっと遠回りになるが、バス停【ローズコム前】 このバスを利用すると、ばら公園も通るので市内観光をしながら、中央公園に向かうと楽しみ方もある。帰りは、ローズコム前から2つ目が福山駅南口になるので便利。 年間、何度かマルシェや季節の行事などのイベントがあるので、市民は地元の情報紙や市役所のホームページ、LINEでの情報で知ることができる。 施設が充実して、とても綺麗に管理されている公園として、おすすめです。

(Translated by Google) It's a beautiful library and park. There are no playground equipment, but there is a moderate amount of grass, so children can have fun if they bring a ball or something. (Original) キレイな図書館と公園ですね 遊具はありませんが、芝生のエリアがほどほどにありますので、ボール等を持っていけば子どもも楽しく過ごせそうです。

Its pretty at night. You can watch the sunset too below the bridge.

A very nice view whenever you get here.

Amazing

(Translated by Google) Shortly after leaving Tomonoura, the Abuto Kannon Temple, visible on a cliff jutting out into the sea, can be seen to the starboard side, and the ship sails through the gently curving Abuto Strait, passing under the beautiful double-arched Uchiumi Ohashi Bridge. From there, the ship passes between Momoshima and Yokoshima, heading for today's destination, Yuge Island. ❗ (Original) 鞆の浦を出港し暫くすると海に突きだした崖上に見える阿伏兎観音を右舷に、緩やかに曲がる穏やかな阿伏兎(あぶと)瀬戸を航行して迫り来る美しいWアーチの内海大橋を通過、そこから百島～横島の間を抜けて今日の目的地である弓削島に向かった。 ❗

(Translated by Google) Opened in October 1989, this 832m-long arch bridge connects Tajima and the Numakuma Peninsula in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, with a maximum span of 219.6m. Hiroshima Prefectural Route 53 runs through it, and there's no toll. Normally, bridges are built in a straight line toward the island, but there's a reef in the middle of the strait, so Utsumi Ohashi Bridge takes advantage of this terrain with its unique, curved, L-shaped design. The sight of these two Nielsen-Lohse arch bridges connected together is very picturesque. I viewed the bridge from both sides, but the trees obscure the view from the Utsumi Ohashi parking lot on the Numakuma Peninsula side, so you'll need to walk a short distance toward the bridge. Directly below the bridge on the Tajima side is a floating pier with parking space, allowing you to enjoy a good view of the two arch bridges from below. Also, while not directly related to the bridge, the luxury cruise ship "Guntû" was passing under the bridge as I was driving across it. Since the ship wasn't docked at Bella Vista Marina, I thought I wouldn't be able to see it, but I was lucky. In addition to "Guntû," there are other world-leading shipbuilding companies nearby, so huge ships frequently pass under the bridge, and the Utsumi Bridge was built to ensure a height of 30m above the water. Visited in: June 2025 (Original) 1989年10月に開通した広島県福山市の沼隈半島と田島を結ぶ、全長832m、最大支間長219.6mのアーチ橋です。 広島県道53号線が通っており通行料は無料です。 島に向かって一直線に架けられるのが普通ですが、海峡部の中ほどに岩礁があり、内海大橋はその地形を生かして くの字に曲がる独特の形状をしている橋です。 ニールセンローゼ橋という種類のアーチ橋2つが、連なっている光景はとても絵になります。 橋の両岸から眺めましたが、沼隈半島側にある内海大橋駐車場からは、木が茂っていてよく見えませんので橋の方向に少し歩いて行く必要があります。 田島側の橋の真下には浮桟橋があり、駐車スペースがありますので、二つのアーチ橋を下からじっくり眺めることができます。 あと、橋とは直接関係ありませんが、ちょうど橋を車で渡っている時に高級クルーズ客船「guntû」が橋の下を航行していました。 ベラビスタマリーナに停泊していなかったので、見られないかと思っていたのですが、運が良かったです。 「guntû」以外にもすぐ近くに世界有数の造船会社がある関係で、巨大な船が頻繁に橋の下を航行するため、内海大橋は水面から30mの高さを確保して建設されています。 訪問時期：2025年6月

(Translated by Google) It connects Numakuma-cho and Utsumi-cho in Fukuyama City. The bridge is so curvaceous that you might think it's a work of art, and it blends in with the surrounding scenery. It curves sharply from the center of the bridge, and I was surprised at its unusual shape when I first saw it. I am impressed that we were able to successfully bridge the gap. If you cross the bridge from the Numakuma Peninsula and view it from Tajima, the beautiful curves are even more vivid. I didn't have time and gave up, but when I walked across it, I was greeted with a stunning view of the Seto Inland Sea. It looks even more beautiful especially in the evening. (Original) 福山市沼隈町と内海町とを結んでいます。 ”芸術品”と思うくらいに曲線美の橋で不思議と周囲の光景に溶け込んでいます。 橋の中央から大きくカーブしており最初見た時変わった形だと、驚きました。 よくも架橋できたと感心します。 沼隈半島から橋を渡り、田島から望むとさらに曲線美が鮮やか。 時間がなく断念しましたが、歩いて渡ると｢The瀬戸内海｣の見事な光景。 特に夕方だとさらに美しく見えます。

(Translated by Google) People who are afraid of heights can experience a thrill on a par with that of the Tatara Bridge. This is probably because the bridge curves in the middle, bringing the bridge pier into view and making you realize you are driving over the sea. It's thrilling even when driving, so don't even think about crossing it by bicycle. (Original) 高所恐怖症の人は多々羅大橋ぐらいのスリルを味わえます。 おそらく橋の中ほどでカーブしているため橋脚が視界に入って 今、走っているのは海の上だと実感させられるからかと思います クルマでもスリリングなので自転車で渡ろうなどと考えない方が良いです。
