Hidden Gem of Hiroshima: Onomichi

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!
