Onomichi Essentials

Onomichi spans the hillside slopes overlooking the Seto Inland Sea, characterized by its narrow alleys and the historic Temple Walk. This selection covers the region’s architectural diversity, from the vivid, multi-styled Kousanji Temple on Ikuchijima to the industrial-chic ONOMICHI U2 warehouse. The list highlights the city’s cinematic heritage at Cinema Onomichi, traditional Nihonga art at the Ikuo Hirayama Museum, and panoramic vistas from the Senkoji Park observation platforms. It also includes key sites along the Shimanami Kaido cycling route.
