Onomichi & Tomonoura, Japan🇯🇵 Most Charming Port Towns in Seto Inland Sea (4K UHD)

Onomichi (尾道) and Tomonoura (鞆の浦) are two hidden gems in Japan that offer a charming blend of traditional Japanese culture, scenic beauty, and rich history. Located in Hiroshima Prefecture, these coastal towns are perfect for travelers seeking a peaceful escape and an authentic experience of Japan’s less commercialized areas.

Onomichi (尾道), often called the “City of Hills,” is known for its picturesque views, temples, and old-fashioned atmosphere. The narrow streets lined with traditional houses, temples, and shrines invite visitors to take leisurely walks while soaking in the local culture. A highlight of the town is the Temple Walk, which passes through 25 temples, offering an immersive spiritual and historical journey. The iconic Senkoji Temple (千光寺) sits atop a hill, providing breathtaking views of the Seto Inland Sea (瀬戸内海) and the town below. Onomichi is also a paradise for cyclists, as it serves as the starting point of the famous Shimanami Kaido (しまなみ海道), a cycling route that connects Japan’s main island, Honshu, to Shikoku across a series of bridges.

The town’s nostalgic ambiance has made it a popular location for Japanese films and literature, adding to its cultural significance. Onomichi is also famous for its ramen, a local specialty that visitors shouldn’t miss.

Just a short drive from Onomichi, Tomonoura (鞆の浦) is a quaint fishing village that has remained largely unchanged for centuries. It is a historic port town with a history dating back to the Edo period (江戸時代), and its tranquil atmosphere and traditional architecture are reminiscent of Japan’s past. The town is often described as a “living museum” due to its well-preserved streets and buildings.
