    This 283-meter-high mountain is a designated National Park. It's famous for the pirate Murakami Fleet lookout tower on the peak, which offers a 360 degree view of the Innoshima Bridge and the islands of the Seto Inland Sea. You can drive to the top, but we recommend walking the Seto no Utamichi trail leading up from the Tachibana Shizen Katsuyo Mura, which is lined with poem-inscribed stones to offer some literature with your walk.

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.
