Edo-Era Charm of Tomonoura × Historical Footsteps of the Ota Family

Strolling through the old streets of Tomonoura feels like time has slowed down. The streets and houses from the Edo period quietly narrate the bustling past of this trading port. Take a detour to visit the Ota Family Residence, where you can glimpse the culture and daily life of merchants from that era. The sightseeing boats by the harbor and the distant sea views add a touch of leisure to this nostalgic journey.

Tomonoura (Setonaikai National Park)

#Sign Up for September Hotel Tester 2025 Tomonoura, located in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, is a historic port town within Setonaikai National Park. Since ancient times, it has been an important base for navigation in the Seto Inland Sea (a port for waiting for the tides). Due to the complex currents, ancient ships often docked here, gradually developing a prosperous port town culture. The port still retains Edo-period townhouses and temples, as well as the iconic "Nonyato" stone lantern (Figure 3), creating a nostalgic and tranquil atmosphere. The area has also been a stopover for historical figures such as Kibi Makibi and Sakamoto Ryoma, and has been used as a filming location for numerous films and television series. Access From Fukuyama Station (JR Sanyo Shinkansen and Sanyo Main Line stops): Take the Tomo Tetsu Bus, which takes approximately 30 minutes directly to the Tomonoura Bus Terminal. #Hiroshima-ken #Fukuyama-shi #Tomonoura
