Onomichi is a town just in the center of Okayama city and Hiroshima city, where you can feel its history and culture. Since the town faces Onomichi-Suido, the Seto Inland Sea, it has been prosperous as a distributing center of trades using marine transportation.

In 1999 opening of Shimanami coast road connected the town to Imaji city in Shikoku, which made trading very convenient. And in 2015 all roads for Chugoku-crossing-expressway has been constructed, making Onomichi an important area as a “crossroad of Seto Inland Sea.”

Life in Onomichi, located between mountains and a sea, is a history, coexisting with many hills and stairs.

I walked too!

This area, sandwiched between Seto Inland Sea and mountains, has irregular narrow roads and stairs. However, scenery is always a good picture of “decades ago Japan” from anywhere in Onomichi.
