Anyway, Onomichi has a lot of slopes, cats and temples. If you get lost in the narrow roads friendly to cats, you are sure to come across a photogenic scenery.
Since Onomichi has a quiet channel between it and Mukaishima island on the opposite shore, it has been used since the Middle Ages as a shipping port for rice as annual tribute from inland manors and a shipping port for
silver from Izumo’s Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine, which has become a World Heritage Site.
Takauji Ashikaga, who established the Muromachi Shogunate, also used this place as a foothold to advance to Kyoto.
A town packed with various elements. That’s why it may be used in movies and anime scenes. Walking route is as below.
The ropeway in the town is quite crowded, but from the top you can see the beauty of islands in the Seto Inland Sea. The time of sunset is the target. During the cherry blossom season, the whole mountain is dyed in cherry blossom color.
