[2025 Hiroshima Attraction] Travel Guide for Seto Inland Sea (Updated Apr)

#2月好去地方2025 Recently, the "Seto Inland Sea Art Festival", which is held every three years, is about to start, making Shodoshima popular again, and Shikoku island hopping is on the rise! Even if there is no art festival, a one-day slow tour of Shodoshima is highly recommended. Staying on the island for a night will allow you to experience the leisurely pace of life. #Shodoshima Olive Park The classic scene from Hayao Miyazaki's movie "Kiki's Delivery Service", the white windmill and the witch's broom, most tourists come here to check in and take photos. In fact, Shodoshima was the first place in Japan to plant olive trees. The Olive Park mainly displays the history of olive trees and their planting, and is free to visit. Against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, it looks very European coastal. #寒霞渓 Known as one of the three most beautiful valleys in Japan, you can take a double-section cable car to the observation deck to see the beautiful scenery of Shodoshima's mountains and seas, including the Seto Inland Sea, Mikasa Mountain, Shibodō, the Eight Views in the Sato and the Twelve Views in the Omote. In fact, Hanxia Creek is also a good hiking trail, especially in autumn when the red leaves are in season, it is even more beautiful when you hike to the top. #２４の瞳影画村 The movie "２４の眼" was filmed on Shodoshima in the early Showa era. The scenes built during the filming include residential buildings, wooden school buildings, and village alleys in the streets. It faithfully reproduces the scenes of the early Showa era, just like walking into a time tunnel. The movie depicts the touching stories between teachers and students on the Shodoshima campus. Whether you have seen the movie or not, it is highly recommended to visit. Tickets are ¥790. #Shodoshima Angel Road A famous natural attraction on Shodoshima Island. At low tide during sunrise and sunset, a 500-meter-long thin white sandbar trail slowly emerges, spanning to Bentenjima on the other side. Walking along Angel Road at dusk is quite romantic and a very famous check-in spot. Shodoshima is a great place for a slow and relaxing life. It is recommended that you do not rush to visit and leave. It is best to stay on the island for one night to enjoy the quiet and charming moments of Shodoshima. #ShikokuTravel #Shodoshima #Seto Inland Sea

Hiroshima, a town of slopes, sea, and cats 🐱 Unfortunately, since I visited in the middle of summer, I didn't see any cats during the day, but I heard there are many during cooler seasons 💕 My favorite town with a view of the sea. I spent about 4 hours taking the Senkoji Mountain Ropeway to the top, visiting Senkoji Temple, and walking down while taking photos 😊 (with a cafe break in between ☕️) On a sunny summer day, the view of the sea in the distance while descending the slopes and stairs was really wonderful ☺️ The view from the ropeway is in the 4th photo. The 5th photo is towards the Onomichi City Museum of Art 📸 The Seto Inland Sea could be seen far into the distance, and it was a spectacular view 🥹 If you want to see the cats, it might be better to visit during the cooler seasons 😊

The last stop of the Setouchi trip came to [Hiroshima]. The Seto Inland Sea surrounds the surrounding area. The blue water and dotted islands form a picturesque island scenery. Miyajima is the jewel among them. Itsukushima Shrine is like a fairyland on the sea, floating on the blue waves at high tide. 🌟【itsukushima Shrine: a sacred wonder on the sea】 When you come to Hiroshima, you must go to Itsukushima Shrine. First, head to Miyajimaguchi Pier, where you can choose to take a ferry to Itsukushima. The ferry sails on the rippling Seto Inland Sea, and the sea breeze caresses your face, bringing you the slightest coolness and freshness. You can enjoy the beautiful sea view along the way, with the blue sky and blue water connecting in the distance, and seabirds circling and soaring in the sky, as if guiding travelers. In about 10 minutes, we arrived at Itsukushima. As soon as you set foot on this island full of mystery and history, Itsukushima Shrine comes into view. This shrine is a miraculous example of the fusion of architecture and nature! It is cleverly located on the sea. When the tide goes out, a Shinto will be revealed. People can walk slowly towards the shrine along this Shinto. Every step seems to be crossing a long river of time and having a spiritual dialogue with the ancient gods. When the tide is high, the shrine seems to be floating gracefully on the water. The iconic vermilion building is breathtakingly beautiful against the blue sea and sky. The bright red color is intertwined with the surrounding blue sea water and emerald green trees, forming a picturesque and beautiful scenery. The large torii gate in the shrine is even more famous. It stands majestically in the sea. It has withstood the temper of the years and the ruthless beating of the waves day after day and year after year, but it remains solemn and solemn, making people feel awe. Here, we are also lucky enough to encounter the free and playful deer. They are like agile elves, jumping around in every corner of the shrine, either looking for food leisurely or playfully interacting with tourists. Their agile figures add to the otherwise solemn and solemn place. The sacred place adds a touch of liveliness and vitality, making the whole picture more harmonious and beautiful. 🍱【Yuhao Village: A happy paradise of delicious food】 In the evening, we headed straight to Okomura, the place where Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki was first introduced! 23 restaurants each have their own characteristics, full of Japanese Teppanyaki atmosphere 🥢 Order a Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki and watch the chef carefully make it on the iron plate, including pancakes, shredded cabbage, various meats, fried noodles, and eggs Perfectly blended with the special sauce, take one bite and the multi-layered taste blooms on the tip of your tongue, making you feel overflowing with happiness! Don’t miss the Monja Yaki and Gyutama Soba, each of which has a unique taste of Hiroshima. Tips: •The Itsukushima Shrine ferry costs 180 yen (tax included) one way for adults. •Basic admission to Itsukushima Shrine for adults is 300 yen Hiroshima·Hiroshima Prefecture

#ItinerarySharing #100 Ways to Travel #Hiroshima #Hiroshima 3 days and 2 nights must-go #Hiroshima itinerary It is recommended that you plan at least three days and two nights in Hiroshima to fully enjoy your trip. You can start from the city of Hiroshima. I highly recommend staying at the Rihga Royal Hotel Hiroshima, which is very close to Hiroshima Castle and the Atomic Bomb Dome. The following points are what I think are must-sees when visiting Hiroshima. On the first day, we arrived at the hotel and then went to the Atomic Bomb Dome and Hiroshima Castle. The next day, Miyajima - Itsukushima Shrine, Senkoji Temple, Neko no Noshido On the third day, you can adjust it according to each person's schedule. The following three are a little further away: Afuto Kannon, Tomonoura, and Kosanji Museum, all of which are very unique. #Hiroshima RIHGA Royal Hotel #Japan Travel

Setouchi is a popular destination for its unique artistic atmosphere and beautiful natural scenery. Here is a detailed guide: ● Must-visit islands: Naoshima: A paradise for art lovers, home to famous attractions such as Yayoi Kusama's Yellow Pumpkin and Tadao Ando's Chichu Art Museum. Teshima: Centered around Teshima Art Museum, the museum displays artworks that blend with nature, offering a perfect fusion of tranquility and nature. Shodoshima: In addition to beautiful natural scenery, there are attractions such as olive groves and Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Village, making it a great place for leisure and sightseeing. Art installations and sculptures: Yellow Pumpkin and Red Pumpkin: Iconic works by Yayoi Kusama. The Yellow Pumpkin is located by the sea in Naoshima, and the Red Pumpkin is located in Miyanoura Port, both are popular photo spots. Naoshima Violin: Designed by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto, the unique art decoration allows you to feel its charm up close. Transportation and accommodation: Transportation: It is recommended to fly to Takamatsu Airport from Osaka or Tokyo, and then take a ferry to the islands. There are several ferry routes in the Seto Inland Sea connecting the main islands. Plan your transportation routes in advance and allow enough time for transfers. Accommodation: Takamatsu is the base camp for island hopping, with convenient transportation and a wide range of accommodation options. There are relatively few accommodations on the island, so it is recommended to book in advance. Precautions: Weather: The weather in the Seto Inland Sea area is changeable. Pay attention to the weather forecast in advance and prepare appropriate clothing and sunscreen. Cultural etiquette: Respect local culture and customs, and do not touch or damage cultural relics and monuments at will. Safety: Pay attention to personal and property safety, especially be extra careful in dangerous areas such as beaches and cliffs.

An Unexpected Treasure City Although I missed the Setouchi Triennale which happens every two years, both the city and the island hopping are filled with an artistic atmosphere. Choosing this place as a buffer after returning from America was a wise decision. It helped me reacquaint myself with Asian culture, Asian cuisine, and Asian faces, experiencing the cleanest, most tranquil, and most artisanal side of East Asia. Day 1 Tokyo-Takamatsu An early flight means a long day to enjoy. Kagawa Prefecture is the hometown of Slowpoke, and you can see its presence everywhere. After checking in, I immediately rushed to eat Sanuki Udon. Delicious and healthy! In the evening, I had Japanese pork cutlet rice. Ritsurin Garden is the most famous park in the city. The green gardens are especially precious in the city. You can row a boat or feed the fish. I thought there wasn't much to see in Takamatsu, but I was completely wrong. There are plenty of things to buy! Tamamo Park is by the sea, where you can see the Seto Inland Sea and the passing ships. It's very comfortable. Day 2 Takamatsu-Naoshima I didn't expect so many tourists on Naoshima! Of course, the first stop is Yayoi Kusama's Red Pumpkin, but I think the yellow one looks better. Then I recommend Hiroshi Sugimoto's Time Corridor. The outdoor glass teahouse is so pure, and you can also enjoy traditional Japanese sweets and tea. Then there's the Chichu Art Museum (with works by Monet and Tadao Ando) and finally the Lee Ufan Museum. Besides the seaside, the island is full of art museums. As long as you check the timetable or ride a bike, transportation is not a problem. Art lovers must visit. The slow boat is also very comfortable. In the evening, I found a local izakaya and had grilled chicken thighs (bone-in chicken). Day 3 Takamatsu-Teshima A smaller island with fewer tourists than Naoshima. A fast boat takes half an hour to get there. The Teshima Art Museum (and café) and the Heartbeat Museum are worth checking out. On the last day of the gap season, I chose to record my heartbeat and make it into a CD. There's a strawberry dessert shop on the island with super delicious shaved ice, just a 5-minute walk from the pier. The island is so quiet, it really feels like time stands still. Day 4 Leaving Takamatsu to return home. It was indeed very hot these days, but taking beautiful photos made me very happy. This trip is coming to an end, a million times unwilling to leave.

When it comes to Ehime, the first thing that comes to mind is its specialty oranges. This late autumn, NANA came to Ehime in Shikoku for fun, and didn't expect it to be so much fun, lingering and forgetting to return~ Ehime is located in the northwest of Shikoku, close to the Seto Inland Sea, where you can island-hop; there are various ancient castles, full of Japanese atmosphere; it is also the shooting location of 'Tokyo Love Story'; there is also the same station as the popular Spirited Away; there are also many foods, such as sea bream mixed rice, fried chicken; and a hot spring experience, perfect~ Quickly make a guide, I hope it can help you who want to play in Japan~ 🗺️Route: D1 Seto Inland Sea Cycling—Bay Rapids Whirlpool Boat—Oyamazumi Shrine—Watching the sunset on Kameo Mountain D2 Matsuyama Castle—Omote Street—Dogo Onsen D3 Ozu Castle—Ozu Shrine—Garyu Sanso—Shimotani Station 🌟Play points: ✨Seto Inland Sea Cycling: A particularly recommended way to play the Seto Inland Sea island hopping, you can choose to cycle, it's really beautiful to ride in the scenery, all the way is exclamation and shooting. ✨Bay Rapids Whirlpool Boat: Go out to sea to see the Seto Inland Sea Rapids Whirlpool, if you are lucky, you can see a super large whirlpool. ✨Oyamazumi Shrine: An ancient shrine on Oyama Island, there are many ancient trees, and there is a magical big tree in the mountain, and you can also eat oranges at the local residents' home. ✨Kameo Mountain: The best place to watch the sunset in the Seto Inland Sea, the sunset of the entire bay is so romantic, and the sunset platform is full of design sense. ✨Matsuyama Castle: One of the ancient castles in Japan, dyed in autumn colors, watching the scenery of Matsuyama Castle. ✨Omote Street: A street in Matsuyama with many shops and many food shops in the alley next to it. ✨Dogo Onsen: A famous hot spring area in Ehime, an ancient Japanese hot spring house, where you can also soak your feet. ✨Ozu Castle: The castle of the Japanese ancient city, very ancient, here you can overlook the entire Ozu, and enjoy the beauty of Iyo's little Kyoto. ✨Ozu Shrine: A shrine that can only be reached by climbing stairs all the way, it is the shooting location of East Love, and the season of red leaves is very beautiful.

#Osaka Attractions This time we are introducing the Seto Inland Sea in Western Japan, which is the largest inland sea in Japan, so it occupies an extremely important position in politics, economy, and transportation! Of course, in addition, the Seto Inland Sea has countless beautiful scenery for tourists to take pictures, there are many magnificent bridges along the coast connecting all parts of Japan, and each coastal city has built its own characteristic coastal park, so it’s really not fun! As a reminder, due to the vast Seto Inland Sea, it is recommended to use the open jaw method when booking tickets: enter Osaka Kansai, then use other coastal airports (such as Okayama, Hiroshima and other airports) to exit to save transportation time. Next time if you are tired of the bustling city, you might as well go here to wash your mind. 😊

There is something fascinating about a small island in the ocean. I have been to many archipelagos in the form of island hopping. The archipelago in Japan's Seto Inland Sea does not have the most beautiful scenery or the most beautiful beaches. Go for art. In the past, the Japanese did not pay much attention to the scenery of these small islands, and many of them were used for industry. Therefore, the small islands in the Seto Inland Sea have never been famous, and no one makes a special trip to these islands to enjoy the scenery. Take Inujima as an example. It used to be a copper smelting site built in 1909. At that time, copper smelting was in full swing and 3,000 people once lived on the island. In just ten years, the copper smelter was closed and turned into ruins. There are only 60 islanders now. Because of the art festival, the island, which was once an industrial production site, has become an artistic landscape that attracts many tourists. The Setouchi Triennale is held on various small islands in the Seto Inland Sea. The two main islands are Teshima and Naoshima. In addition, Inujima has another style. There are about ten art installations on Dog Island, all concentrated near the pier, and it only takes half a day to visit these works of art. If you stay in Inujima for half a day, your first stop must be the Inujima Seirensho Museum of Art. It is an art museum that integrates "industrial heritage, architecture, modern art and environment", and was jointly planned and designed by architect Hiroshi Sanbuichi, artist Yukinori Yanagi and the Department of Environmental Engineering of Okayama University. The second ones to arrive were Residence S and Residence A. S Residence is a long wall that looks like a wave-like screen. Artist Aragami Meika placed many dots inside. If you look closer, you will see that different dots present different pictures. The dots are actually convex lenses. If you pay a little attention to the images of the convex lenses, you can see different scenery. Inujima also has an art installation called "Stoneworker's House Traces". Artist Yusuke Asai used old beams, stones, plants and other materials collected on the island to arrange them into patterns with ethnic characteristics. There are stories depicting the lives of the islanders, which feel like ancient murals. In fact, the appearance of Inu Island does not look like a puppy at all. I don’t know where the name Inu Island comes from, but what is certain is that the artistic landscape of Inu Island is chic and unique. #Overseas travel #Japan #Art travel #Seto Inland Sea #Taishima #japan #Return to the countryside

Surprisingly, there are 727 islands in the Seto Inland Sea. These islands lie between the Japanese main islands of Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu. Its mild climate and relaxing atmosphere often compare with Mediterranean islands. One of the best ways to enjoy the stunning islands in Seto Inland Sea is cycling on Shimanami Kaido which is a cycling trail that connects Ehime prefecture and Hiroshima prefecture. #nationalpark#beaches

You can take a ferry from Takamatsu Port to Shodoshima, Naoshima, Teshima and other places. 🌟Highlights of the trip: ✅Takamatsu: Not only is it a transit point in the Seto Inland Sea, it is also one of the largest cities in Shikoku. Spend the day checking out the four seasons of Ritsurin Park, strolling around the ruins of Takamatsu Castle, and then going to Kitahama Alley for a stroll and a meal. ✅Shodoshima: This island was made famous by the movie “Kiki’s Delivery Service”. The movie village by the sea allows you to shoot blockbuster movies in minutes. There is also the Angel Road that only appears after low tide, which is full of romantic elements. ✅Naoshima: Japanese national treasure artists Yayoi Kusama and Tadao Ando both left their works here. I would also like to check in just for the yellow pumpkin on the beach~ ✅Toyoshima: A small island full of stories but not many attractions. The Teshima Art Museum is more popular because it only has one work. When the weather is good, you can come here to stroll around and enjoy the full atmosphere. 📌Tips for playing: ⭕️The Seto Inland Sea Art Festival, held every four years, is very lively, during which many festival-limited works will be unveiled. If you are interested in art, you must come! ⭕️Reservations must be made in advance for the Chichu Art Museum and Teshima Art Museum, and visitors can only go there at the scheduled time. No late visitors will be accepted. Friends who go there must plan their time reasonably. ⭕️You are not allowed to take photos inside most art galleries, but the exterior alone is full of attractions. For example, the Benesse House Observation Deck, where you can enjoy a 365-degree view of the beautiful sea view. ⭕️The Tadao Ando Museum is quite popular. It opens at 10 o'clock. We arrived at 9:30 and the entrance was already full of guests. There are not many art installations inside, but more manuscripts.

Naoshima, Teshima, Shodoshima are classic Seto Inland Sea island hopping routes. As a seasick patient, I finally plucked up the courage to walk once. The islands and the sea are beautiful, but I don't think I will go again. The pictures are a bit messy, because I can't remember which is which 【Hotel on the island】 The most impressive is the hotel GLAMPROOK Shimanimi in pictures 345. Located on the horse island in the Seto Inland Sea, the transportation is slightly inconvenient. You have to take a boat from the Ehime Prefecture Imabari Port in picture 6 to the hotel by water. If you take the land route, you will lose a bit of ceremonial sense, and it is not very convenient. However, this super niche hotel, dinner and breakfast are exceptionally delicious, and all kinds of wines are all put on the topic, it is a good place to empty yourself and feel the flow of time. Pictures 789 are the international hotel on Shodoshima, the room is facing the famous attraction Angel Road, besides this, there seems to be nothing special. Although the islands are not far from each other, you can basically reach another island by boat in 1 hour. But the number of boats is not as many as trams, waiting for a boat is too time-consuming, it is better to live on the island and be a temporary islander. If you are really in a hurry, you can call a taxi boat, I haven't tried it, so I won't introduce it. I jumped 4 islands this time, among which Shodoshima is the largest, and the other islands can be measured by foot. If you are not used to walking, you can rent a bicycle, facing the wind of the Seto Inland Sea, it is very romantic. In addition to this, there are buses and taxis, and the transportation on the island is generally convenient. The reason why this classic route is classic is because of the strong artistic atmosphere. These islands are like the battlefield of various design masters. Every few steps is a baptism of art. Since there are many photos of these art galleries and shapes on the Internet, I won't put more. In addition to these art galleries, the cafes and restaurants on the island are also very interesting. I have experienced a few casually, and none of them have stepped on thunder. Here, the famous Seto Art Festival is held every once in a while. I will see if I want to slap myself in the face and come again next time End

I really like the Seto Inland Sea transfer from Tokyo's bustling city to the small town Takamatsu Pier's boat to the outlying islands where the art gallery gathers Watch a quiet and chic exhibition blue sky and white clouds everything is beautiful this is too leisurely, too comfortable # yearning for life #

A long trip to the Seto Inland Sea in Japan. I have to go to Japan every year, and Tokyo is a must-see city. I still want to go to some niche places. This time, choose Takamatsu flying from Tokyo, then take a boat trip to Takashimatsu every day to go to the island to play. Because of the super famous pumpkin, it was deliberately went to the Nagano. As a result, the yellow pumpkin was not seen in the maintenance. Only the red pumpkin was seen at the pier. Toshima can ride a bicycle, along the beautiful coastline, really not too beautiful, free and comfortable, the air feels comfortable. This is # yearning for life, every day is very pleasant.
