    Hiroshima Pref. Onomichishi Higashitsuchidouchou
    A one kilometer long walking path in Senkoji Park in Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture. The path leads from the summit of Mt. Senkoji to Sennichi Inari-jinja Shrine and passes through the Senko-ji Temple, a popular tourism destination in Onomichi. The path is dotted with 25 stone monuments carved with passages by writers connected to Onomichi such as Fumiko Hayashi, Naoya Shiga, and Masaoka Shiki. Many areas along the path offer views of Onomichi and the Onomichi Channel, and this popular destination gives walkers the chance to enjoy renowned works of Japanese literature along with spectacular scenery.

There is more than meets the eye awaiting any Hiroshima-bound traveler. Kicking off in Hiroshima city, the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Castle, and Shukkeien Garden offer a couple of days of exploring; however, the real beauty lies along the southern coast of the prefecture. There, a series of islands spreads across the Seto Inland Sea: from the mysterious sea-submerged Great Torii Gate at Miyajima Island to the first half of the islands that connect Honshu to Shikoku via six spectacular suspension bridges.
