Enjoy the beauty of the Shimanami Kaido archipelago, stroll around Tomonoura, where the original scenery of Japan remains

We will pick you up by private car or at Fukuyama Station or Hiroshima Airport. Head to the Setouchi Shimanami Kaido, the perfect place to enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Seto Inland Sea. Consisting of seven bridges connecting Honshu and the islands, it is said to be a sacred place for cyclists due to its beauty. Clear air and a sea that sparkles with the sun reflecting off it... You will fall in love with the Seto Inland Sea.

Head to Nishi-Nikko Kosanji Temple on Ikuchijima, Onomichi City, one of the islands that the Kaido passes through. Kozoji Kozo, a businessman from Osaka, entered the priesthood after his mother's death, and dedicated his life to building this temple to express his gratitude to his mother. It is popularly known as the ``Mother's Temple'' where we join hands to sincerely express our gratitude to all the mothers in the world. Adjacent is a marble garden created by sculptor Kazuto Kuetani. Enjoy a relaxing moment in a 5,000 square meter white world.

We will prepare a lunch where you can fully enjoy seafood grown in Hiroshima Prefecture. The currents in the Seto Inland Sea are faster than those in open oceans such as the Pacific Ocean, and the fish that swim around in these waters grow into firm, delicious fish. Enjoy fresh fish packed with flavor.

Head to Tomonoura in Fukuyama City, where the quaint townscape of the Edo period remains. Walking through this port town, where the narrow alleys are lined with traditional Japanese-style buildings, will make you feel as if you have traveled back in time. Unlike other tourist destinations, residents actually live in the old buildings, and you can feel the breath of life there. Hayao Miyazaki, director of Studio Ghibli, fell in love with this town and produced ``Ponyo on the Cliff'', which was set in Tomonoura.
