Tomonoura is a port town at the southern end of Fukuyama City, Hiroshima, Japan. This place is a picture-perfect port city of literature and history, Tomonoura is a fascinating destination in Hiroshima Prefecture. While visiting the place I noticed that the place is very similar with one of the place I saw in the movie, and as I searched, Tomonoura was featured in the Marvel film ‘Wolverine'. The sea-facing section of town is breathtaking, with small boats bobbing up and down in the docks. The old town center has fairly narrow traditional streets, that are so well kept they are reminiscent of times long passed. It is a truly relaxing little town, with a wide variety of shrines and temples, and very friendly locals. #givethanks #givethanks

I visited Tomonoura, a nostalgic port town in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, in search of beautiful scenery😊 This port town, which has been used as a location for movies and dramas, is as beautiful as rumored, and I was continuously moved☺️ The Joyato (photos 2 and 8) is the symbol of this port town. I wanted to capture this scenery!! It was a picturesque view❤︎ The first and fifth photos were taken with a telephoto lens from Io-ji Temple📸 The view from here was also spectacular🥹 The alleys a little inland from the port are very nostalgic (photo 7). Whether it's the sea view or the town view, every shot is a breathtaking view. A walk with a camera in hand. It became a happy trip💓

| Walk into the fantasy world of Bo'er. Today I want to talk to you about the dreamlike Tonoura! Tonoura is a seaside town full of historical charm. The streets of Tonoura are like entering a time tunnel. The traditional buildings on both sides are well preserved, and every stone path seems to tell a story of the past. Here, you can stroll slowly and feel the aftertaste of the Edo period. This street has been the filming location for many movies, and the intertwined light and shadow of sunlight shining on the ancient building has become an unforgettable scene in the hearts of movie fans. At the same time, this is also an important source of inspiration for Miyazaki's animated film "Boer on the Cliff". "Boer on the Cliff" photo trip! ☕The first stop came to [a café], which is the secret corner where Master Hayao Miyazaki draws inspiration. The most famous thing here is lemonade, find a window seat to sit down, look out, thoughts immediately float to the animation, feeling Boer and Zongsuke will pop up on that street corner at any time. Ordering a glass of lemonade seems to touch the creative inspiration that the master once left here. 🏮 Then rushed to [HOTEL 櫓屋 ROYA], this ancient building exudes a unique rhythm, this is a bed and breakfast, very ancient, said to have more than a hundred years of history, standing there, the mind is all the ball in the sea The appearance of cheerful playfulness. 🐟Finally arrived at Konoura [Kenchan Small Fish Dry House], wow! The cute Chinese elemental small objects at the door instantly hit the girl's heart. Walking into the store, your eyes are full of all kinds of small dried fish. All kinds of dried fish are suitable to take back as souvenirs. You can often see a kind of life-saving wine in the streets and alleys here. This life-saving wine is the treasure of Konoura. It is carefully brewed with local quality raw materials Sweet, then the rich aroma of wine spreads in the mouth, with a long aftertaste. It is said that this wine also has certain health and health benefits and is very popular in the local area. Many tourists bring a few bottles as souvenirs or have a drink in the local bistro to feel this unique wine The slightly drunkenness it brings makes the whole trip to Tonoura more unforgettable. It is also because of this unique and charming scenery that Tonoura became the filming location for Hayao Miyazaki's "Boer on the Cliff", attracting countless animation fans and literary and artistic youths to explore the fairy tale hidden in reality world.

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩*⋆✈Hiroshima Prefecture𓂃 𓈒𓏸Tomonoura, Fukuyama City (Setonaikai National Park) Hinamatsuri was yesterday, but I don't care. Lol-I went to Tomonoura, where the "Tomo Town Doll Festival" is being held until March 24th🎎 During the period, about 100 townhouses, merchant houses, and temples will be exhibiting a variety of precious and rare Hina dolls, including gorgeous seven-tiered decorations from the Edo period, large-scale and elaborate palace decorations from the Meiji period, Oshie Hina dolls, Tachi Hina dolls, and Nagashi Hina dolls. Tomonoura, also known as "the most relaxing port town in Japan," is a port town with a nostalgic atmosphere that was the setting for Ponyo on the Cliff. It is famous for its atmospheric streets and Homeishu (a Japanese liqueur made from mirin and Chinese herbal medicine) which has a history of over 350 years. It was my first time visiting during Hinamatsuri, but the whole town was lively and I was able to see various Hina dolls of different sizes and eras everywhere I went. Everything has a sense of history, from personal collections to those borrowed from local people only for this period, to those left in town houses. Some places have an entrance fee, while others are free to enter and exit. The streets here are complicated, and some parts are quite maze-like for me, who has no sense of direction (lol), but it's quite fun to just rely on your senses and walk around, stopping at various shops and having casual conversations with the shopkeepers. If you go to a cafe or take your time looking around, 3-4 hours will easily pass! There are many Kawazu cherry trees and Somei Yoshino cherry trees planted near the temple. 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄𓊆𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒𓊇Varies by store 𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 Tomoura Tomo, Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #Sakura2024 #trip #Hiroshima #Fukuyama #Fukuyama #Girls' Festival #Hiroshima sightseeing
