■ Tobishima Kaido

The Tobishima Kaido is the generic name of the eight bridges (total length: approximately 5,300 m) connecting Kure City, Hiroshima, and the islands of the Akinada Islands, located southeast of Kure City.

Explore the places where you can feel the history and culture of Setouchi, such as Shimokamagari Island. The eight bridges on the route all present a variety of different structures, including suspension bridges, cable-stayed bridges, and truss bridges. Various expressions of scenery created by each island and bridge together with the Seto Inland Sea are for sure a feast for both your eyes and your social media feeds. 


■ Mitarai District

Mitarai is a small port town located on the east coast of Osaki Shimojima Island in the Seto Inland Sea.

It was chosen as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings. If you walk through the narrow lanes and alleys lined with historic buildings from the Edo period (1603-1867), you can truly feel and see ancient, traditional Japan.
