The 16 best parks and gardens in Onomichi

千光寺 (Senko-ji Temple) is a beautiful temple in Onomichi, Japan, known for its stunning views of the city and the Seto Inland Sea. It's famous for its red Akado hall and the unique rock formations around the temple grounds. Many people find it a peaceful and spiritual place to visit.

If you’re ever in Onomichi, definitely check out Senkoji Park. It’s up on a hill, and you can either take a quick cable car or walk up. The views of the sea and town are awesome—especially at sunset. In spring, it’s packed with cherry blossoms, and there’s this cool “Path of Literature” with quotes from famous writers. There’s also a sleek art museum up there designed by Tadao Ando. Super chill spot to relax, take photos, or just enjoy the vibe.

My heart will forever live on here. It's one of the best places to see cherry blossoms during the season. It's hilly, hot, and exposed so make sure to bring water and good walking shoes for your quad workout. And bring cash for the ice cream at the top here. There's also a museum. It's truly so beautiful at this park.

The design of the observation deck was quite a sight. The view is picturesque during sunset. A couple of ice cream store nearby; one near the observation deck and the other near the museum. The park is spacious and you could spend many hours here. The ropeway takes up 3-4 mins at most. Walking takes 25-40mins depending on the pace and entry points.

Great views of onimichi below. Plenty of picturesque streets and the museum of art was designed by Ando with a huge art library.

Enjoy a gorgeous panorama of the townscape and Onomichi Channel from high atop the city; chosen as one of the 100 Best Cherry Blossom Viewing Spots and as a Lover's Sanctuary. Inside the park, you'll find the Path of Literature that contains poems by Onomichi writers and poets engraved into stones, as well as museums, shops, and more.

A wonderful little park that is on the top of the hill with a gorgeous view, and when you walk down the hill, you get to see a number of wonderful temples, museums, and really cute cafés. There’s a walk that is famous for its cats, and also a walk that is famous for its poetry. This place in general has a lot to offer, and I would highly recommend that you only get the rope way up, and then walk down.

The climb up to the temple took some time as the way up consisted of steep, uneven steps and inclined walkways. Alternatively, you can take the tramp up to the park then walk to the temple. Great views from the temple.

Nice place for temple and watching the hilly port scene in 尾道市. The sound of rings is relaxing and there is a good spot for watching the peak tram. You may take the tram up and walk down the scope in 25 mins.

On the way from Setoda to Hiroshima, we stopped by here. If we had more time, I would have liked to visit the shopping street and the hot springs in the evening, but this time I focused on Senkoji, the place I most wanted to see. The area around the temple has a lovely atmosphere and offers the kind of scenery that’s typical of Onomichi. The view from the temple grounds was absolutely stunning. The descent from the three-story pagoda was shorter than I expected.

I came here on Monday in mid of April. It was beautiful with full of cherry blossom! Lots of people but still have some place to sit and relax. I really like it, recommend to bring some food and mat for a lovely picnic 讚！很喜歡

Worthy of climbing up, but summertime is not so recommended.

A short hiking and the view from the cable car and the temple was great Good for a half-day trip here

The best view in a lovely place. One of the highlight of Onomichi (with the bike ride toward shikoku and the food 😁) Great view for everyone (i walked up the stairs but there is a cable car). The gardens (in small terraces) along the way are very relaxing and romantic. The temple is nice too but the view is everything. I went there during hanami, it’s even better but even outside outside of hanami i should be good.

If you are even a slightly familiar with old Japanese movies and have seen those filmed in Onomichi, then you will find this place really exciting. I am myself not aware of more than a couple of Japanese classics shot in Onomichi but just looking at the old movie posters is really entertaining for me.

Nothing stated in English. But really cute. Lots of cool posters. Really should explain more about what is displayed in English because it looks really interesting.

This museum is a wonderful spring of history and essence of Onomichi’s great cinema foray into the world.

You can find all of the movies that filmed in Onomichi here. Very interesting.

Great film history

(Translated by Google) I went there around 4pm on a weekday in May. When I tried to park my bicycle in front of the facility, I was warned not to park it there, but to park it in the city hall bicycle parking lot across the street. If you go there, please be careful. In terms of content, the exhibition mainly features films by director Ozu Yasujiro. Other posters and equipment from the heyday of film in the Showa era are also on display. In the video corner, there was a film playing that seemed to be a story about old Onomichi and modern Onomichi. I started watching it halfway through, so I was wondering. There was no footage of director Obayashi's Onomichi series, which was disappointing. (Original) 5月の平日の16時頃行きました。施設の前に自転車を置こうとしたら、そこには置かないよう、向かいの市役所駐輪場に置くよう注意されました。行かれる方は注意して下さい。内容的には、小津安二郎監督の映画の展示が中心です。その他の昭和の映画最盛期のポスター、機材なども展示。ビデオコーナーでは、昔の尾道と現代尾道の物語的なよく分からない内容の物が流れていました。途中から見たので？でした。大林監督の尾道シリーズは一切なくそこはガッカリでした。

(Translated by Google) It's in an easy-to-find location, and there is a nearby parking lot. There is a JAF discount. Photography is prohibited inside the building. The museum is a warehouse from the Meiji period. Posters from the 1960s and other times are on display. There is a comprehensive corner explaining the works of director Kaneto Shindo. Reading the explanations will make you want to see the films. There are displays of cameras and projectors, and you can read old film pamphlets. There is also a mini-theater. It was very quiet, so I was able to look around calmly. It's not that large. (Original) わかり易い場所にあり、駐車場は近くのパーキングへ。JAF割あります。 館内は撮影禁止。明治時代の倉庫を資料館にしてます。１９６０年代などののポスターが飾られてます。新藤兼人監督の作品説明コーナーが充実してます。説明を読んでると見てみたくなる内容です。カメラ、映写機の展示、古い映画パンフレットを読むことができます。ミニシアターもあります。とても静かなので落ち着いて見て回れました。そんなに広くはないです。

Sorry a display of photos from Disney archives is not art. I expected a bit more from a museum of art. Wouldn't have gone up that hill you're on if I had knew this was the art on display. Only 1 star is for the view which is lovely but 0 for the art. Also you can't take photos of it? Your whole display is a photocopy of an archive. Shame I wasted 800 yen for this nonsens.

Nice view over the city. Specially in the morning, when there is mist over the hills. The art museum has a great collection of jewellery. Also note the laces under the jewels.

The sea I can see,I did see. I felt nostalgic as getting this scenery after 20 years. At that time this art museum had not been built. Not so many famous artist creations are exhibited. But this museum give us great experiences artists had been trying to express. Impressive,Fauvism,Cubisme,Japanease painting,Sculpture, Whichever selected the soul is bried. Surprisingly no permanent exhibition. I can sea some answers how local museum will exist.

I find this museum to save me from the horrible summer heat

The cherry blossoms are blooming. They're just gorgeous!

I decided to visit and took the train from Hiroshima hoping to spend a nice day in Onomichi. This is the 3rd time I have tried to visit the museum. Once again it was closed. The English website is confusing about opening times, perhaps a visual calendar with colour coding showing the days that they are closed would be helpful. Onomichi is as always a charming and friendly town, but no more tries for the Art Museum, too disappointing

Cool modern and traditional architecture that reside adjacent to each other. Unfortunately, the interstice between them cannot be accessed.

I visited Senkoji Park Observatory during my trip to Onomichi. Instead of taking the cable car, I decided to hike up by foot. It was a bit grueling, especially with some steep parts, but if you take your time and enjoy the walk, it’s totally worth it. The trail is quiet, scenic, and lets you experience the charm of the town from a different angle. Once you reach the top, you’ll be rewarded with a stunning panoramic view of Onomichi and the Seto Inland Sea. The peaceful atmosphere at the observatory makes the climb even more satisfying. Highly recommended if you’re up for a little challenge with a great reward at the end.

We took our time meandering up to the Senkoji Peak Observatory and paid 100yen to climb the boulder (with the unsafe chain design) which was a bit of fun. The temple is interesting and if you make your way right through there is an audio device providing information and history of the temple in several languages. The hike to the observation deck is well worth it, the views are grand. Who ever designed the stairs at the actual observation deck, is amazing, these are climbed with such ease. A great way to explore Onomichi and take in the beauty of this inland sea.

Great scenery of Seto Inland Sea. You can access the observatory easily through cable car. If you want to hike, you can walk up the stairs via the path of literature and cat alley or from the back via the art museum. Just have water ready and prepare to sweat especially during summer time.

Worth a visit where we can see a bird's eyeview of Onomichi

The ojii san there greeted us in our language! He was so friendly and even offered us to take picture! Thankyou very much! The view is nice from up here!

Astonishing view. I recommend go before 9am or after 5pm, basically when the cable car is not operating so less crowd.

New venue, and it's for free!!! Amazing!!! 20-30 mins walk from the bottom of the hill. Recommended to use the ropeway to up and walk down the hill if you have good feet. Otherwise, use the ropeway roundtrip.

This is very impressive place where you can enjoy your leisure time to relax yourself or see the gorgeous landscape along the way ! Of course, as soon as you reach the top of the hill, you will see the wonderful view and the great visions of the city! People say that it is the best place to overlook the amazing sights ! If you are so lucky, you’ll see the cats on the catwalk (貓之細道）！ They’re so lovely and adorable, you’ll feel comfortable and cozy with the cats companions on the way! It’s an awesome and unforgettable experience! Plus, it’s worth visiting the unique tourist attraction!

The covered shopping street runs for about 1 km and during our 2 day stay was generally uncrowded and quite pleasant to stroll along. A mixture of traditional older style shops with some casual eateries, clothing and craft shops. Like most things about Onomichi, it is quietly charming

I've explored numerous Japanese shopping alleys, and this one stands out for its unique mix of shops offering everything from clothes to Japanese kitchen knives and pottery. Also not to forget the abundance of charming cafes and restaurants. I'll miss this place a lot.

A very nice, long arcade. Serves as a comfortable introduction to this sleepy city. Covid did a number on the shops, would love to see it when it returns to glory and more businesses open.

Great place for shopping. You can find a variety of different shops and restaurants here. I found a bikeshop to repair my bicycle.

Almost everything was closed, it is monday today. Very sad. Probably it is very nice when everything is open.

Great shop variety and much space to walk

Great views from the roof and baths, older hotel but nice location and friendly staff.

(Translated by Google) Before the coronavirus outbreak, I traveled from Tokyo to Kyushu for work about three times a year, and I stopped by on my way home on the new line. Many times, I have healed from work and private life at this inn, which has a unique atmosphere due to its location in Onomichi. I always stayed on a floor with a terrace, and the view of the Onomichi Channel at night was amazing, and I always looked forward to it. It's such a shame that I can't see that. During the cherry blossom season, the cherry blossoms at Senkoji Temple were beautiful and I visited there every year. I would like to somehow restart the hotel business. It's a wonderful place and I wanted you to try crowdfunding...I'm very disappointed. I would like to hear from you when you can reopen. N, Machida City, Tokyo. (Original) コロナ禍前、仕事で東京から九州方面への出張が年３回位あり、帰路は新線で帰る途中に寄らせて頂きました。尾道と言う土地柄で雰囲気の有る旅館で仕事やプライベートな疲れを何度も癒して頂きました。何時もテラスの有るフロアーを希望し宿泊させて頂き、夜の尾道水道の夜景が一望出来る景色は最高で何時もそれが楽しみで宿泊させて頂きました。それが見れないのは凄く残念。桜の季節は千光寺の桜が綺麗で毎年お世話になていました。何とか旅館業を再開して頂きたく思います。素敵な場所ですのクラウドファンディングなど試して頂きたかった・・・とても残念です。再開出来たら伺いたいです。東京都町田市・N。

Fantastic minimalist style hotel overlooking the harbour. Great views from bar and main rooms. On site onsen! The food is absolutely amazing - proper local foods beautifully prepared and presented. Treat yourself to dinner and a breakfast. And the staff are wonderful. Note you will need to use a taxi frequently but that shouldn’t cost more than 1400 yen each way. There are also rooms for those with bikes

(Translated by Google) I stayed at Senkoji Sanso on a trip with my grandfather (himself) and his son's family. The room is a corner room on the 3rd floor, spacious and has a great view. The meals were served in the room and were warm and very delicious. The bath was spacious and had a nice view and was warmed up slowly. The building itself feels old, but it was well kept and felt comfortable. (Original) お爺ちゃん(本人)と息子家族との旅行で千光寺山荘にお世話に成りました。 部屋は3階の角部屋で広く眺望もよく満足です。 食事も部屋食で温かく大変美味しい食事でした。 お風呂氏広く眺望も良くゆっくり温まれました。 建物自体は古く感じますが清掃も行き届いていて気持ち良く感じました。

(Translated by Google) The building itself is a little old, but it was well kept and the view from the room was great. You can enjoy this view from the large public bath, and it's wonderful to take a bath while watching the sunrise. The food is delicious and you can enjoy local specialties. It's on a hill, so it's a little difficult to walk, but it's close to the city center, so I don't think it will cost much to take a taxi. The prices are reasonable, and this is a ryokan that I would like to use again. Senkoji Park is said to be a famous cherry blossom viewing spot, so I would like to go there next time during that season. (Original) 建物自体は少し古いですが、掃除は行き届いており、客室からの眺めが最高でした。 大浴場からもこの眺めを堪能することができ、朝日を見ながらお風呂にはいれるのも素晴らしい。 食事も美味しく、地域の名物を楽しめます。 坂の上にあるので、歩きだと少し大変ですが、市街地から近いのでタクシーでも大してかからないと思います。 お値段もリーズナブルで、また利用したいなと思う旅館です。 千光寺公園が桜の名所らしいので、次はその季節に行きたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) The food was delicious, especially the sea food, and I enjoyed eating it because they worked on every detail. The furniture, paintings, etc. were tastefully decorated, and it felt like a nice place. The waitress greeted me with a cheerful smile, but when I asked for a soft drink instead of alcohol, she responded with a dejected voice. I feel lucky that I went at a very nice time when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. (Original) 料理は特に海のものが美味しく、細部まで仕事していて楽しく食べれました。調度品、絵画等もセンス良く飾ってあり、良いところという感じでした。 仲居さんは朗らかな笑顔で対応してくれましたが、お酒でなくソフトドリンクを頼んだら気落ちした声での返答でした。 桜が満開でとても良い時期に行けたことはラッキーと感じます。

(Translated by Google) I stayed here for sightseeing in Hiroshima, with dinner and breakfast included! The rooms have the feel of an old-fashioned inn, with the minimum necessities. But there is WiFi, which is very helpful! Dinner is served in your room, and breakfast is served in the large hall, both of which are delicious and satisfying (*^^*) Best of all, the view from the room is great! To go there, we walked from the top of the ropeway, and on the way back, we walked down to the station. The path to walk is quite steep, so if you don't have a car, you might want to wear comfortable shoes. (Original) 広島観光の宿泊に、夕食朝食付きで泊まりました！ お部屋は昔ながらの旅館という感じで、必要最低限のものがあります。でもWiFiがあるのでとても助かります！お夕食はお部屋で、朝食は大広間で、どっちも量が多くて美味しくて満足です(*^^*) 何より部屋からの眺望がとても良いです！ 行きはロープウェイの山頂から歩いて行き、帰りは歩いて駅まで下りました。歩く道がなかなか険しいので、車ない人は歩きやすい靴がいいかも。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by because I was nearby for sightseeing today 👍 It takes about 3 minutes to walk along the walking path from the side of the hotel 😊 It was a place with a sense of openness where you could see the islands 👌 (Original) 本日観光目的で近くに来た為、立ち寄りました👍ホテル横から散策道を行くこと約3分で到着します😊島々が眺望出来る開放感ある場所でした👌

(Translated by Google) A panoramic view of the observation deck from the TV tower in Innoshima Park. It was a very pleasant place with a good view of the islands of the Seto Inland Sea. Please come and try it once 😁✌️ (Original) 因島公園にあるテレビ塔から一望できる展望台の眺め。瀬戸内海の島々が良く見え、とても気持ちいい場所でした 是非、一度行ってみて下さい😁✌️

(Translated by Google) I went on a long bike tour and learned from the staff at Innoshima Inter. It's a pain to go up, but the spot where you can see the islands is the most beautiful. I think it will be very beautiful in spring because there are many cherry blossom trees. (Original) ロングバイクツーリングで因島インターの職員さんに教えてもらい行きました 上がって行くのがしんどいですが島々を見るスポットは最高に綺麗です 桜の木がたくさんあるので春はとても綺麗になると思います

(Translated by Google) To be honest, there was nothing there in the park. The view wasn't very good either because of the low altitude. It seems you can get there by bicycle, but I didn't see anyone cycling there. (Original) 正直何もない公園でした。 展望も標高が低いのであまりよくはありません。 自転車で行けるみたいですが、通行してる人は見かけませんでした。

(Translated by Google) When I was a child (in kindergarten), my grandpa would often take me here. This was about 50 years ago. At that time, there was something like a small zoo with birds and other animals, but it no longer exists. In its place, the statue of Saba Daishi that was in front of Innoshima Hospital was moved. The only thing that hasn't changed since then is the cherry blossoms. It was starting to disperse, but I'm glad I saw it. (Original) 子供の頃(幼稚園時代)、じいちゃんに連れられよく来たものです。 かれこれ、50年くらい前になりますねー 当時は鳥などの小さな動物園らしいものありましたが、今はもうありません。 その代わりに因島病院前辺りにあった鯖大師の像が移されてありました。 当時と変わらないのは、桜かな。 散り始めだったけど、見れて良かった。

(Translated by Google) One of the eight views of Innoshima✨The view was very beautiful🌿 (Original) 因島八景のひとつ✨とても眺めがきれいでした🌿

(Translated by Google) It's a wonderful view. Especially the sunset is spectacular. ! (Original) 素晴らしい景色です。特に夕日が素晴らしい。!

(Translated by Google) The ropeway costs 500 yen one way and 700 yen round trip, but you have to go down the slope to get to Senkoji Temple. I'm very tired. It's hot inside the ropeway. (Original) ロープウェイ片道500円往復700円ですが、千光寺に寄るには坂道を下ります。 すごく疲れます。 ロープウェイ中は暑いです。

(Translated by Google) If you want to get around easily, it's a good idea to take the ropeway up and then walk down while looking around. There is a luggage storage service (500 yen) at the ropeway ticket office, so if you have a lot of luggage, I recommend using it. (Original) お手軽に回りたいならロープウェイど登って、歩いて降りながら見て回るのが良さそう。 ロープウェイの発券所で手荷物預かりサービス(500円)があるので荷物が多い人は利用するといいと思う。

(Translated by Google) Senkojiyama Ropeway 2021/10/17 When you look up at the top of Onomichi's mountain, you'll see a five-storied pagoda (actually a three-storied pagoda), and there's a temple there, so take the ropeway to the top of the mountain. The three-storied pagoda is located halfway up the mountain, so we recommend walking up one way and using the ropeway one way, or going up the ropeway one way and walking down one way. There are no stations along the way, so only the bottom and the top of the mountain, so if you buy a round trip, 1) Take the ropeway from below to the top of the mountain 2) If you walk down to the three-storied pagoda, you will have to climb to the top of the mountain again to use the ticket for the return trip lol. It is definitely easier to walk down than to go back to the top of the mountain, so the return ticket will be wasted ☜ Me That's why I feel like it's a little better to buy a round-trip ticket, but in reality it's more than enough to buy a one-way ticket. (Original) 千光寺山ロープウェイ 2021/10/17 尾道の山の上を見上げると五重塔（←実際には三重塔）が見えて、お寺があるのでロープウェイで山頂へ。 三重塔は山の中腹にあるので、片道徒歩で登って、片道ロープウェイ使うか、片道ロープウェイで登って、片道徒歩で下りるのがお薦め。 山の下と山頂のみで途中駅が無いので、往復を買うと 1)下からロープウェイで山頂へ 2)三重塔まで歩いて下りてくると、復路の切符を使うには再び山頂へ登らないとならないwww　　山頂へ戻るより歩いて下りた方が絶対楽なので、復路の切符が無駄になります☜自分 そんな訳で「往復」が少し得な気がするけど、実際は「片道」購入で十分です。

(Translated by Google) An automatic ticket vending machine has been installed, and you can also purchase by card. (Visited in July 2024). If you want to use JAF's discount, go to the attached tourist information center (right next to it) instead of going to the ticket vending machine. The advantage is not only the discount, but also the ability to skip the queue at the ticket machine. If you are standing in line at the ticket vending machine and it is your turn to pay in cash, you can buy it at the tourist information center. However, the above rule is "very difficult to understand." The person in charge of the tourist information center when I visited was not very friendly. It seems that only people in the know can help, but this is probably not a good idea in a tourist area! ? The people who rode with me on the ropeway and the staff who guided me when getting on and off were very nice people. (Original) 自動券売機が導入、カードなどでも購入も可能に。（2024年7月訪問）。 JAFの割引を使う場合は、券売機ではなく、併設の観光案内所へ（真横）。有利な点は、割引だけでなく、券売機の列を飛ばして、買うことができます。 券売機で並んでて、順番が回ってきてかつ現金払いなら、観光案内所で買えます。 ただ、この上記のルールが「とても分かりにくい」。 私が訪問したときの観光案内所の担当の方は、あまり親切とはいえない対応でした。知ってる人だけが対応できるみたいですが、観光地で、これは良くないのでは！？ ロープウェイの同乗する人や、乗降時の案内のスタッフは、感じの良い方でした。

(Translated by Google) The ropeway allows you to experience the ``miniature garden'' of Onomichi. Trains depart at any time during the busy season. (Original) ロープウェーは、尾道の「箱庭的景観」が実感できる。繁忙期は随時発車している。

(Translated by Google) The young woman at the ticket counter had her cell phone on her lap and was responding only with her voice without looking at me...I wonder if she normally does this properly. The ropeway ride was quick, but the scenery was beautiful. (Original) 切符売り場の若い女性は膝の上に携帯を置いていてこちらを見ずに声だけで返答していました・・普段はちゃんとしているのかな。 ロープウェイはあっという間ですがいい景色でしたよ。

(Translated by Google) Good to use on the way up. It looked like walking was tough. On the way down, we passed museums, parks, temples and shrines, and the cat path. (Original) 上りで利用が良いです。歩きキツそうだった。 下りは徒歩で美術館、公園、寺社、猫の細道を通りました。

Great view from the observation deck just behind the temple. If you are walking all the way up here, make sure to walk along the road coming from the south, instead of climbing the (sometimes almost overgrown) stairs from the west as that was somewhat of a pain. Also there is no vending machine or water up around there, if you're counting on that for some reason.

(Translated by Google) Danger ⚠ Watch your step. Reinforcing steel bars, etc. were exposed in three places in the center of the road in front of the building. (Original) 危険⚠足元に注意。 建屋前の路面中央に鉄筋等が３箇所露出。

(Translated by Google) It is a magnificent temple located at the top of Mount Jodo-ji. (Original) 浄土寺山山頂にある立派なお寺です。

(Translated by Google) It takes about 20 minutes to walk from Jodoji by car, and you can reach it by going up a dirt road, but if you have a large car, you may not be able to get there. (Original) 浄土寺から歩いて20分位かかる車だと未舗装の道を上がるとたどり着くが大きな車だと通れない可能性がある

(Translated by Google) It comes quickly from above by car. I'm so sorry⤵ (Original) 車で上からサクッと来てます。 なんか申し訳ありません⤵

So beautiful

Nice view

Cycled here. Just fantastic. Such wonderful infrastructure!! Loved my stay in Japan.

Amazing views, very good cycling route

Beautiful view

Awesome place

Ok

Stopped here while cycling the Shimanami Kaido. It was late March, unfortunately not many flowers, but you can head onto the roof for a lovely view. It's free and there's a vending machine at the entrance and it's very quiet, so if you want a relaxing break it's quite pleasant.

after a hike. Got a chance to see those flowers 💐

It's a nice place with a nice view. You can go here with your friends or family to enjoy the view. Last week when I go there, I took pictures of momiji.

It's nice in October but you're better off going in the summer when all the flowers are in bloom.

I stopped here briefly while biking the Shimanami Kaido. The view from the flower park out to the ocean is beautiful.

Not well maintained , maybe due to the corona virus pandemic, but I’m sure after the pandemic flowers will bloom again

Cool flowers.

(Translated by Google) It is said that it was once a famous spot for kumquats. Having a toilet is convenient. (Original) かつて金柑の名所だったそうです。トイレがあるのが便利です。

(Translated by Google) There are several cherry blossoms. It was cherry blossom viewing season, but there were no people there. There is a toilet. There are information signs, but it doesn't really feel like a park. The cherry blossoms around the nearby pond were even more spectacular. (Original) 桜が数本あります。花見の時期でしたが、花見をしている人はいませんでした。トイレがあります。案内看板はありますが、いまいちパーク感はないです。近隣の池周辺にある桜の方が見事でした。

Cycling the Shimanami around Innoshima and came across this amazing stop. A beautiful cafe representing Manda probiotics. SUCH a great stopping point. A nice lunch and drinks. Some great products in the store. And a lovely garden. Great spot

Stopped here for lunch while on Shimanami Kaido. Good place to chill for lunch and get a meal. Cafe has options for lunch sets, food was great and healthy. Also has a small park / farm area with a few goats and veggies growing.

Very lovely place. Food (self produced) is delicious and you can even get a vegetarian option if you don't eat meat (although is not on the menu). Garden is wonderful and dont miss the spot where you can put your feet inside of the hot water.

Stopped here for lunch on our cycling trip. The lunch was fantastic. The spaghetti with clams and shiso was delicious. Pretty gardens, and a place down on the waterfront with a foot bath was a great spot for relaxing before we set off again. Highly recommend.

There’s a cafe (signature coffee is AMAZING) and a park and a petting zoo and a root museum and honestly a whole lot. I love when big companies give back to the community! Admission is free and the drinks are reasonable priced (didn’t look at food). We were biking one of the shimanami kaido trails (~30 km, onomichi-> setoda) and this was a fun stop on the way!

Great coffee stop on the Shimaname Kaido - plenty of seating (indoors & outdoors), parking & bike racks.

Wasn’t expecting much from this pit stop but it was a nice discovery during our bike route. The food here was fantastic! High quality, tasty and simple lunches which felt very nourishing. Nice garden and a view of the sea.

You may want to watch the sky as the Sun set in this beautiful beach this summer

Nice cycling routes,road and views

Last time we visited this beach in summer, there are lots of jelly fish. Please be careful if you want to swim and don't forget to bring a change of clothes!

Had a great time experiencing summer festival and enjoyong the food!

nice view

(Translated by Google) This was the villa of the Hashimoto family, a wealthy merchant family from the Edo period, and its elaborate garden and tea room are a cultural heritage site that tell the story of the wealthy merchants of the time and the history of Onomichi's prosperity. In particular, the tea room ``Meokian'' is said to be a valuable copy of the national treasure ``Myokian Taian'' in Yamazaki, Kyoto. To be honest, I wasn't that impressed. The tea room can be rented for around 4,000 yen, so it might be a good option for those who enjoy the tea ceremony. (Original) 江戸時代の豪商、橋本家の別荘で、趣向を凝らした庭園や茶室は、当時の豪商や尾道の繁栄の歴史を物語るものとして、文化遺産になっています。特に、茶室「明喜庵」は、京都山崎にある国宝「妙喜庵待庵」の写しで貴重だそうです。 正直に言って、それほど感動はありませんでした。茶室は4千円程度で借りることもできるようなので茶道をたしなむ人にはよいかもしれません。

(Translated by Google) The garden and tea room of the mansion, which was built as a villa, have been turned into a city park and are open to the public. (Original) 別荘として建てられた豪邸の庭園、茶室の部分が市の公園となり、公開されている。

(Translated by Google) A small garden. Might be nice for a casual walk. (Original) こじんまりした庭園。ふらっと散歩するにはいいかも。

(Translated by Google) It's a beautiful garden, but I'm not sure if it's worth paying for... Insect repellent is required in summer (Original) 綺麗な庭園ですが料金を払ってまでかどうかは… 夏場は虫除け必須です

(Translated by Google) I can only really see the garden. I wanted you to show me the inside of the mansion, even if it was only from the verandah. (Original) 本当に庭園しか見せてもらえない。縁側からでいいから屋敷の中を見せてほしかった

(Translated by Google) It’s amazing that the garden has incorporated the tides of the Onomichi Channel 😆⤴️ (Original) 尾道水道の潮を園庭取り込んであったとはなんとすごい😆⤴️
