Looking for a unique experience on your next trip to Japan? If bustling big cities aren't your thing and you prefer a quaint and charming atmosphere, why not visit **Onomichi (尾道)**, located right next to Hiroshima? This place feels like stepping into an old Japanese movie! Its most distinctive feature is the **'hillside town'** layout. With the sea beside it and houses stacked along the slopes, the narrow alleys give off a cozy, nostalgic vibe reminiscent of old neighborhoods. Onomichi is also a paradise for cat lovers! You'll encounter plenty of cats lounging leisurely in the sun as you wander through the alleys. If you're a cat enthusiast, you might find it hard to leave! As you climb the slopes, you'll discover serene temples and shrines tucked away. There's even a 'Temple Pilgrimage Route' that makes for a delightful and leisurely walk. If the climb gets too tiring, take the cable car up to **Senkoji Park (千光寺公園)** and enjoy the breathtaking view of the Seto Inland Sea from above. The scenery is so picturesque, you'll find yourself gasping in awe! Feeling hungry? Don't miss out on the local specialty, **Onomichi Ramen**! Its rich broth is truly unforgettable. If you're looking to escape the crowded tourist spots and immerse yourself in the simple, authentic charm of Japan, Onomichi is the perfect destination. It's easily accessible by train from Hiroshima, making it a great addition to your travel itinerary. Be sure to check it out!

JR Mihara Station, Hiroshima. I had a "Pudding Cream Bread" at "Mihara Pudding", which has a large event space inside the station. I stopped by for a transfer, and wondered what "Mihara Pudding" was, so I bought one. When I looked at the website... The definition of "Hiroshima Mihara Pudding" is "a pudding made by a person (store) who supports Mihara using at least one ingredient from Mihara." In addition to sweet puddings, they also have savory puddings (delica puddings) like chawanmushi that use ingredients from Mihara. I thought I would be able to find an interesting pudding if I looked around, but it was time to transfer, so I tried the "Pudding Cream Bread" this time. I'd like to enjoy a Mihara pudding trip next time! I visited on October 16th. #Hiroshima #HiroshimaTourism #HiroshimaTrip #CreamBread #Mihara #Gourmet #GourmetTrip #AutumnTrip #LocalGourmet

From "Mihara Station" in the west to "Onomichi Station" in the east, you often see trains bound for "Itosaki Station" when sightseeing in Hiroshima. "Itosaki Station" has a strong presence as a major transfer station for Hiroshima's conventional lines. The station is simply built, and looking around the station... There is nothing particularly conspicuous, except for a road with frequent traffic in front of the station that runs parallel to the tracks. It seems like a station where you can wait for time to pass even if you have to wait to transfer to a train. If you have a long wait to get to your next destination, it might be a good idea to use it as a station to use the restroom! The scenery along the tracks between Itosaki and Onomichi is a beautiful coastline, so don't forget to take good care of your camera here. I recommend that you keep a "seat by the sea" when transferring here to Onomichi. This was a report on the area around Itosaki Station, which I used as a transfer rest station on my trip to Hiroshima. #trip #trip #Hiroshima #Mihara #Onomichi #Hiroshima sightseeing #Hiroshima trip #railway trip #train trip #train travel #summer weekend trip #Keihan group campaign

#QuintessaCampaign Hiroshima Airport, located in Mihara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, is the gateway to Hiroshima Prefecture✈ The flight time from Haneda Airport is only about an hour and a half, so it's easy to travel to Hiroshima☺️ There are plenty of local gourmet and souvenir shops, such as Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki and Onomichi ramen, so you don't have to worry if you forget to write them down😮‍💨 #CoupleTrip #Gourmet #HiroshimaPrefecture #HiroshimaAirport #Hiroshima-styleOkonomiyaki

Dreaming of Hiroshima? I finally made it! 🌸 This city has been on my childhood wish-list forever, and it totally lived up to the hype — from its deep history to vibrant, living culture. I stayed right at the Hilton Hiroshima, which set the perfect base for adventure. It’s a quick trip by tram or foot to peace landmarks, museums, and yummy food streets. The staff here are beyond helpful (speak both Japanese and English!), and the Japanese-style hospitality really stood out. My room was spacious, and I started each day with a killer breakfast spread (so much variety). There’s also a gym, pool, and sauna for unwinding after exploring. My Top Tips: - Take advantage of their early check-in! Great if you get in early and want to freshen up. - Hilton Hiroshima’s location is prime — use the city’s streetcars for cheap, easy access to must-see sights like Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Dome. - Soak up hotel chill time, especially the pool/sauna for relaxing after a long day. - Shopping, coffee, and local eateries are just steps away—don’t miss the okonomiyaki around the Nagarekawa area. Heads up: The staff were awesome, but the room could use a refresh — nothing major, just a little dated in style. Also, some guests feel the in-hotel restaurants are a bit pricey for what you get, so try exploring food options outside too! How to Get Around: Grab the Hiroshima streetcar day pass for unlimited rides (a serious bargain!). #HiroshimaDream #TravelJapan #HiltonHiroshima #OnTheGoJapan #HotelReview

Here’s your essential Mihara and Hiroshima adventure with a dose of fresh air and playful vibes! 🚀🌲 If you’re traveling with kids (or just young at heart), this trip will upgrade your family getaway—clean air, open spaces, and practical tips for smooth travels. Must-See Spot: Hiroshima Prefectural Chuo Forest Park (広島県立中央森林公園) Address: 1730-2 Kamikamagari, Mihara, Hiroshima 729-0415 Hours: 9:00–18:00 (subject to season) Perfect for: Families, active kids, and nature fans. The playground is spacious with creative cylindrical obstacles. Kids can roam freely while parents relax—especially on sunny days with wide blue skies! Pro tip: bring a picnic blanket and snacks so you can extend your park visit. On rainy/cloudy days, check for covered seating spots. Airport Convenience: Mihara-Hiroshima Airport (広島空港) Super easy access! If you’re flying in or out of Hiroshima, the airport is just a short drive away from Chuo Forest Park. Taxi or shuttle buses are your best bet—saves time and kid energy. Getting Around: 🚕 Taxis are reliable and plentiful at Hiroshima Airport. For park visits, driving (rental cars) is smooth and parking is available right at the park. 🚌 Shuttle buses run between the airport and Mihara City Center. Check timetables, especially on weekends. Practical Family Tip: If traveling with children, pack a light rain jacket just in case. The weather can shift quickly from sunny to cloudy/rainy, but the park is beautiful in all conditions. Food: Grab local bento boxes from the airport convenience stores—they’re a win for picnics. #MiharaTravel #JapanNature #ChuoForestPark #Tripcom#Hiroshimaairport#

🍽️ Why was Royal Host such a good option in Hiroshima, where there's no lounge? • Atmosphere & Value: Royal Host on the 3rd floor of Hiroshima Airport offers stunning window seats with unobstructed views of the runway. Enjoying a proper meal like this with an app coupon is much more satisfying. 📸 Delicious Records in Photos 1. Interior: The clean atmosphere of a typical Japanese family restaurant. Even the single counter seats have outlets, making it a very travel-friendly setting. 2. Food Displays: The colorful displays at the entrance whet your appetite. True to its Hiroshima Airport roots, the oyster menu is particularly eye-catching. 3. Onion Gratin Soup: This is the famous soup that Marilyn Monroe praised during her visit to Japan! The harmony of the sweetness of the sautéed onions, the rich cheese, and the broth-soaked bread is truly a work of art! It was a first for me.. haha 4. Salad: A fresh vegetable selection perfect as a palate cleanser before the main course. 5. Main Plate: A large hamburger steak, crispy fried shrimp, and even a fish cutlet! This sizzling combination on a hot plate makes this a "Royal" set you can't go wrong with. The broccoli and corn on the cob are also classic. 6. Bread (British Bread): Royal Host is famous for its bread, even more delicious than its rice. Spreading whipped butter on freshly baked, fluffy bread is the perfect finishing touch. You should definitely visit~~!!!

#winterescape #Buttsuji #hiroshima I visited Buttsuji, and it was one of the most peaceful and visually stunning autumn trips I’ve experienced in Hiroshima. Located about one hour by bus from Mihara, it makes for a perfect half-day escape into nature. The journey itself is relaxing, passing through quiet countryside scenery that slowly prepares you for the calm atmosphere of the temple. One important thing to note is that the last return bus is around 3:00 PM (at least at the time I visited), so careful planning is necessary. It’s best to check the bus schedule in advance and start your trip early in the morning. Since buses are not very frequent, missing the last one could cause inconvenience. I visited during Momiji season, and the view was absolutely breathtaking. The maple leaves were at their peak, covering the temple grounds in brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow. The historic wooden buildings of the temple stood beautifully among the colorful trees, creating a perfect harmony between nature and tradition. Every path I walked felt like stepping into a living painting. The fallen leaves blanketed the ground, and when the sunlight filtered through the branches, the entire area seemed to glow. The peaceful environment, the crisp autumn air, and the quiet spiritual atmosphere made the experience unforgettable. If you love autumn scenery and tranquil temples, Buttsuji during Momiji season is definitely worth visiting, just be sure to plan your return bus carefully.

Temple Serenity & Selfie Magic at Miyajima and Itsukushima Shrines 🛕📸🌞 Get ready for shrine-hopping with spectacular views and pure tranquility! These iconic sites promise peaceful strolls, vibrant red architecture against blue skies, and dreamy spots for couples and solo travelers alike. Start at Miyajima Shrine (1 Chome-6-3 Miyaoki, Mihara, Hiroshima): Arrive early for fewer crowds—the gentle morning light makes those red shrine halls pop in your photos, and the atmosphere is extra serene. Don’t miss the wooden corridors and the view toward the water—framed perfectly for selfies (try capturing the clouds behind the shrine for extra vibe!). I recommend taking it slow here: breathe in the peacefulness, listen to the birds, and enjoy the calm before heading onward. Hop to Itsukushima Shrine (6476 Chinto, Hagi, Yamaguchi): Famous for its “floating” torii gate, this is peak photo op territory! The best angles are found at high tide when the gate appears to hover above the water. Pair up for a romantic selfie with the torii and mountains behind you—a classic Miyajima memory. Walk through the shrine’s elegant corridors and savor the reflections in the tidal flats. Quick Tips: - Both shrines are best visited on sunny days for snap-worthy contrast (red beams, blue sky, fluffy clouds!). - Early mornings = tranquility and soft light. - Wear comfortable shoes—exploring shrines means stairs and wooden walkways. - Respect shrine etiquette—keep voices low and follow any no-photo signs inside inner halls. #Miyajima #Itsukushima #Shrines #JapanTravel #TravelPhotography #coupletravel #couplestrip

📍 Address of Takimiya Shrine: 1-1-1 Nakanomachi, Mihara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, 723-0014 Phone Number: 0848-62-2577 Public Transportation (Train + Walking) Get off at Mihara Station on the JR Sanyo Main Line or Sanyo Shinkansen. It's about a 10-15 minute walk. Car Take the Mihara Bypass and get off near Nakanomachi IC. It's easy to find, as you'll see a large torii gate nearby. Takimiya Shrine enshrines several deities, including Susanoo-no-Mikoto. Founded long ago, originally called "Sakuramiya" and later renamed "Takimiya," this historic shrine has attracted local worshippers since ancient times. It often hosts annual festivals and other annual events, strongly reflecting local traditions.

About a 17-minute walk from Hiroshima Airport is Hattendo Village, the factory of Hattendo, famous for its melt-in-your-mouth cream buns. I had a little time before check-in, so I walked there. I arrived around 3 PM and was hoping to get the limited-edition Setouchi lemon, but unfortunately it was sold out. I bought the seasonal chestnut instead. You can also buy it at Tokyo Station, but perhaps because it was freshly made, it tasted even better than usual. lol Hiroshima Airport is in a rather tricky location, so it can be hard to kill time if you arrive early, but I recommend this place. ✨ They also had drinks available for eat-in!

#falladventures What is this place? Sankeien is a spacious, serene Japanese landscape garden in Mihara City, Hiroshima Prefecture. It's a classic kaiyū-shiki (strolling garden) centered around a large pond, featuring winding paths, stone bridges, lush greenery, and a traditional tea house. It’s designed for peaceful contemplation but also offers plenty of room for families to explore together, with open spaces and scenic spots perfect for a relaxed outing. Why This Place for a Family? Sankeien is an ideal destination for families seeking a blend of nature, culture, and relaxation. The garden’s expansive layout lets children roam safely while adults enjoy the tranquil scenery. With its pond, bridges, and seasonal flowers, it’s a stimulating environment for kids and a calming retreat for parents. It’s a place where everyone can unwind, connect, and create lasting memories surrounded by beauty. Your Family Itinerary: 1. Pond-Side Stroll: Walk the paths around the pond, crossing bridges and spotting koi fish. 2. Tea House Visit: Stop by the tea house for refreshments and a rest. 3. Photo Opportunities: Capture family photos against the garden’s picturesque backdrops. Essential Tips: · Pack snacks or a picnic to enjoy in designated areas. · Check for family-friendly events like seasonal festivals or workshops. · Combine with a trip to Mihara Castle for a fun, historical add-on. #FamilyDayOut #SankeienGarden

#falladventures What is this place? Sankeien is a spacious, serene Japanese landscape garden nestled in Mihara City, Hiroshima. Unlike the more famous Sankeien in Yokohama, this is a local treasure, offering a classic kaiyū-shiki (strolling garden) experience centered around a large pond. It's a place designed for quiet contemplation, featuring winding paths, stone lanterns, small bridges, and a traditional tea house, all meticulously maintained to reflect the beauty of each passing season. Why This Place for a Solo Traveler (Again)? A return visit to Sankeien is an opportunity to move beyond simple admiration and into a deeper, more personal relationship with the garden. Knowing its layout allows you to bypass initial exploration and find your own hidden corner for extended reflection. Alone, you can observe the subtle changes a new season brings—the budding of azaleas in spring, the deep green of summer, or the fiery maple leaves of autumn—and appreciate the garden not as a static picture, but as a living, breathing entity that evolves with time, much like yourself. Your Solo Itinerary: · The Unrushed Path: Ignore the main route. Choose a path you skipped last time or walk the circuit in reverse to discover entirely new perspectives and compositions. · Seasonal Study: Focus on one seasonal element. In autumn, follow the "maple trail." In spring, find the perfect cherry or azalea viewing spot and simply stay there. · The Art of Sitting: Find a bench you previously overlooked. Sit for at least 20 minutes, practicing mindfulness and observing the minute details of the garden's life—a dragonfly on a leaf, the pattern of ripples on the pond. Essential Tips: · Visit in a different season than your last trip. This is the single best way to experience the garden as a completely new place. · Go on a weekday, ideally during off-peak hours (early morning or late afternoon), to ensure you have the space for uninterrupted contemplation. · Bring a sketchbook or journal. The tranquility of a return visit is perfect for capturing your thoughts or impressions on paper. #SoloGardenMeditation

Address: 3-5-15 Honmachi, Mihara City, Hiroshima Prefecture Transportation: About a 15-minute walk from JR/Shinkansen Mihara Station The Renritsu Torii of Oshima Shrine is said to have gained fame because many Shinkansen passengers noticed it from the train. However, to see the torii from the train, you need to be traveling southward from Mihara. If you're coming from the Okayama direction, you won't be able to see it. To reach the shrine, you'll pass through a very quiet residential area. Although the road conditions are not bad, the path is mountainous, requiring some effort despite the short distance. If you're driving, you can park directly at the shrine, as there is a parking lot nearby. The shrine itself is small and not crowded. There is no shrine office, and when I visited, there were no other people around. It's extremely peaceful and tranquil, but you might not stay long since there's not much to do after paying your respects. Due to the surrounding residential area and the slope, taking a clear photo of the Renritsu Torii from the base of the shrine can be challenging, as part of it may be obscured. Overall, if you have an hour or two to spare in Mihara and are unsure where to go, this could be worth a visit. However, if you're planning a special trip just for this, some might find it underwhelming.

They sell it individually. It's located on the second floor of the departure area of Hiroshima Airport. It has the image of a long-established maple leaf manju store. Recently, they have collaborated with Pokemon, and they have cute Pokemon maple leaf manju. 📍Location: 📍Location: Hiroshima Airport, 2nd floor

A trip to Hiroshima to meet a Japanese friend! Because it's not a popular tourist destination for Koreans, there were only two flights per day, and unlike other destinations, there was little information about restaurants, attractions, and things to do. However, thanks to a friend who lived in Hiroshima, I was able to explore the city and experience the romance of a small town. It was a wonderful time. We visited Hiroshima Castle, the iconic landmark of Hiroshima, the Atomic Bomb Dome, a place that was ravaged by American bombings, and the beautiful island of Miyajima, home to charming deer. We sampled Hiroshima's signature okonomiyaki, Miyajima's must-try grilled oysters, and Japan's quintessential draft beer... It was a trip that left me speechless. Hiroshima is a destination many Koreans have heard of but haven't considered. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a leisurely trip with fewer crowds! #Hiroshima #HiroshimaTravel #MiyajimaIsland #Okonomiyaki #Romance #GourmetBeerRestaurant #MustGoHere #JulyTravelSupport
