Onomichi Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
The coolest cafe in Seto Sea - Seabridge
In our recent driving trip in Japan, we drove from Kobe to Shikoku, passing through the Seto Inland Sea. As the area is known for its scenic beauty, we reserved one whole day to drive slowly to enjoy the different islands and the views.
For lunch , we made a little detour to Shimanami Beach in Innoshima. The beach was not very long, but there was a lighthouse and camping field next to the beach. As it was a Sunday, we saw several tents set up on the beach, and the campers were enjoying their coffee and snacks.
There were a couple of one story buildings facing the beach, but only one was serving lunch. We walked in and was immediately attracted by the interior design with warm wooden beams against concrete walls. Sunlight came through the ceiling and reflected onto the multiple glass balls hanging in the center of the cafe. There were 6-8 tables/ sofa set sparingly inside and we took one of the larger table near the window,m. There were only 4 lunch sets available - fried chicken, curry, and two cake sets, and priced between 1500-2000 yen.
While we waited for our food, we couldn’t help but walked around the large cafe, taking photos at almost every corner. The staff also informed us that shoes must be taken off when we walk onto the two sides of the cafe where the tables are set. Slippers and bags were provided for us to carry our shoes.
The cafe was so well designed, chic, and spacious. It is even better than many of the cafes in Tokyo and Osaka.
We spent more than an hour in the cafe, and only wished we could come back for a second time.
Last by not least, there is a huge white dinosaur standing in the backyard of the cafe- to add to the fun of this lunch break. What a memorable experience it was and definitely highly recommending this place to anyone visiting Seto Sea.
address: Onomichi, Innoshimahamacho, Hiroshima Prefecture
Hours: 10-17:00 daily , closed on Wed and Thu

Healing small town
Would you long for a city because of a movie? When I first watched the Japanese movie "The Seaside Motel", I became deeply interested in the city of Onomichi in Japan. Introduction to Onomichi:
[Little Kyoto of the Seto Inland Sea]: Onomichi is located in Hiroshima Prefecture in southeastern Japan, facing the Seto Inland Sea: known as [Little Kyoto of the Seto Inland Sea] by the Japanese people.
2 [Mountain City and Cat City]: A port city built on a mountain, where you can ride a bike or take a boat to tour around the island. The picturesque alleys are healing and artistic. 3 [City of Movies]: It has been the location for more than 40 movies, and friends who love movies are more familiar with Yasujirō Ozu's "Tokyo Story".
Classic Japanese-style house.
This is a classic Japanese house with a 100-year history, where you can also experience Onomichi culture! Walking into the house is like walking into a forest in a movie, as it is located on a long mountain. The scenery through the old nostalgic glass windows is retro, and the furniture and accessories are very attractive, full of artistic atmosphere and perfect for filming.
The landlord is very friendly and talkative, and can chat about many local daily life matters. It's worth taking some time to quietly experience a small rural life in Japan's countryside. The location is also very convenient, recommended for those who want to enjoy the town of Onomichi and have some alone time!
After a quiet cup of coffee in the courtyard, take a walk to Onomichi Station! Enjoy the shopping street at Onomichi Station.

Luxury minimalism on the island of Ikuchijima in Hiroshima, transforming a traditional Japanese mansion
Adrian Zecha, a pioneer in the hotel industry, established a new brand, Azumi, in Japan. Its first hotel is located on the island of Ikuchijima in Hiroshima, where a charming Japanese mansion has been transformed into a serene and exquisite inn. This 140-year-old mansion has been carefully renovated with a luxurious minimalist style, perfectly interpreting the aesthetics of design through the craftsmanship of local artisans, infusing the charm of traditional Japanese inns into modern design.

The staff are so warm and incredibly helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was as good as it could possibly be. Even before arriving, the reservations team was so helpful in booking us a fishing trip and helping us work out the best ferry times to get there. We were greeted at the port upon arrival which was so nice and then given a delicious welcome drink and snack. The room was beautiful and the whole hotel was a design masterpiece. There was everything you could want in the room including a delightful Cyprus bath and a complimentary mini bar. The food was a culinary masterpiece- so beautifully presented and absolutely delicious! And plentiful too.
Itsukushima Shrine Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Hiroshima, Japan
One of my favorite place in Japan definitely.
It’s very convento go from Osaka and has lots of memories.
Itukushima Jinja is absolutely beautiful. You can see low tide and high tide.
It’s better to check the time before going. Sunset must be beautiful as well.
MIYAJIMA ISLAND
Miyajima Island is just a few minutes boat ride from Hiroshima mainland.Greeted by deers as you disembark,this beautiful island offers so much.
From its world heritage site(inscribed in 1996)the Itsukushima shrine(Itsukushima translates to the island of worship) and its famous O-Torii gates(was unfortunate it was under renovations at the time)to its beautiful views from the top of mount Misen.
These adds to the many reasons why i love Hiroshima and wish to explore more in 2024

Senkoji Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Japan's niche destination [Cat City]
The choice was made to the end of the road because there is a famous cat trail. Come to this cat-civilized city, be sure to check it out. The cat trail is in the thousand Below the Temple of Light, you can take the cable car to the mountain and look at the panoramic view of the Onomichi. When the weather is good, you can see the small islands in the world's most beautiful bicycle lanes (up to 4), and walk to the Chikaji Temple in 15 minutes from Onomichi Station. If you go down the mountain, you will see the signboard when you go to the middle of the mountain. Before going to the brain, you can make up a lot of things here, but you didn't expect the cat to do so. . . enthusiasm. . . Just stepping on the first step, flying in the distance to a screaming cat, I want to take a photo, he said nothing to jump on my leg, and then. . . I didn't dare to move, and when I got to my legs, I couldn't help but hold him down before I got out. In addition to these safe, wild little cats on the cat trail, there are many cafs, cat museums and art galleries along the way. Here, most stores are forbidden to take pictures, the store is left on the table, enjoy the small notes of leisure time, lazy to stay for a long time, teasing the cat to see the sea view, eating handmade toast is really a place for this one. Urban poisoning.
