Originally a post-town during the Edo Period, Saijo has grown into one of the main “Sake Capitals” of Japan. The climate and water of this area allow for the production of excellent sake of the highest quality. Seven breweries in the town continue to producing sake using traditional techniques, providing many insights into Japanese culture. A bit further east of Saijo, one can find the picturesque city of Onomichi. The temples, hills and stone paths around the city create the beautiful scenery which has bestowed Onomichi the title of “miniature garden.” This location is not only beautiful, but also rich in history and culture. Within, one can visit temples such as Senkoji and Saikokuji, both Buddhist temples which provide some insight into Japanese religion and the city’s past. One of these temples is located at the top of a mountain and can be accessed via ropeway, providing a stunning view of the city landscape.

Discover the "Invisible Stories" of Hiroshima This small-group tour (max 6 guests), led by a licensed local guide, connects the historic Peace Memorial Park with the peaceful 9th-century Mitaki-dera Temple. After a short introduction in the city center, we take a local bus outside the city center to discover the "invisible stories" of Hiroshima. Through seven unique experiences—ring the temple bell, touch memorial water in peace ceremonies, walk on atomic-bombed tram stones, and reflect on what peace means to you—you'll connect deeply with Hiroshima's history and spirit of peace. Leave the tourist areas for meaningful conversation and a personal journey.

Fukuyama, known as the City of Roses, is a beautiful and historic city located in the eastern part of Hiroshima Prefecture. Originally established as a castle town in 1619, it is now the second largest city in the prefecture, and the fourth largest in Western Honshu. By the end of the Second World War, about eighty percent of Fukuyama was burned down due to an air raid. Following this attack, the city underwent arduous recovery efforts, planting one thousand roses during the rebuilding process to boost the spirits of the people. Through the hard work of its dedicated citizens, Fukuyama was able to develop into the scenic and major city that it is today. This One Day Tour of Fukuyama is designed for those who wish to deepen their understanding of Western Japan’s history through both a castle, museum and historic townscape visit. It is also ideal for guests who are searching for some of Japan’s hidden gems, as Sensui jima is most definitely one of them.
