Pleasure Boat / Water Cruise Spots in Onomichi Area

  • Onomichi's Tomonoura Sea Route
    Travel / Tourism
    Hiroshima Pref. Onomichishi Shinhama 2-13-1
    This is a sea route that connects Tomonoura, the harbor known to have to wait for the tide, and Onomichi, the port for Kitamaebune-ships. Visitors can casually view the scenery of the shipyards, the Abuto Kannon-goddess, and the nostalgic cityscape of Onomichi from the sea. Travel on this route is limited and travel time is about an hour.
  • Fukumoto Ferry
    Travel / Tourism
    Hiroshima Onomichi-shi Tsuchido 1- Otsu 792-26 Chisaki , Onomichi-shi
    This ferry is known to locals as the “One Yen Poppo.” There are three ferry routes in total operating on the Onomichi Strait between Onomichi and Mukaishima Island, but this one is the oldest. Customers note that the ferry offers excellent access, adjoining a cycling road on the Mukaishima Island side and being close to the station on the Onomichi side. Also the most reasonably-priced of the three ferries, it is still highly popular and is widely used by locals as part of everyday life in addition to tourists.

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.
