If you are a tourist and planning to visit western Japan, I would suggest you consider Onomichi as one of your destinations.

​

Onomichi is a quaint small town straggling a hillside, looking down a breathtaking scenery of Seto Inland Sea and its archipelago.  

​

If you are a cyclist or an outdoor person, Shimanami Kaido cycling route will never fail your expectations.

​

And even you are not so much into cycling, you can still spend relaxed time walking in the town which contains full of amazement and joy.

​

​

How to get to Onomichi?

​

From Hiroshima International Airport (HIJ), it takes about 30-40 minutes by car to JR Onomichi station.

​

Unfortunately, there is no direct limousine bus service from HIJ to Onomichi station and thus you need to change buses at Takasaka bus station.

​

If you are coming from Tokyo, Osaka or Kyushu, you may take Shinkansen (bullet train) and alight at Shin-Onomichi shinkansen station, from where you may easily access to the downtown area either by bus or cab. 

​

​

Need advice?

​

Onomichi is such a small town that it will not take more than a few hours for you to walk from one end to the other so long as you abide in the downtown area along "Hon-Dori" or the main shopping street.

​

However, if you are planning to explore outskirts of the town during your sojourn, you might need a local intel who knows his/her way around.
