Hiking to fully enjoy the beauty of the valley in Hiroshima!

After you are satisfied with seeing World Heritage Sites or walking around the city, why not go on an excursion from Hiroshima for a day next?

The recommended destination is Sandankyo, a large 16km (about 10miles) -long gorge.

Put yourself completely in the natural mountain.
All you can hear is the murmuring of the river and the birds chirping.

Of course, you can choose the length of the course to hike; you can go in and out in a short time, or you can enjoy it for more than 5 hours.

Let yourself jump into the wonderful scenery drawing! -Kurobuchi-

Among the courses you can choose from, Kurobuchi is definitely worth visiting.
Kurobuchi is a place about 50 minutes on foot from the Sandankyo Main Entrance.
This is a place where you can feel the magnificence of nature, such as the cliffs that seem to stretch out from the water, the sky that can be seen between the rocks, and the scenery reflected on the calm water surface.

There you can find a Tosen (a small boat). Please try it and enjoy exploring! (service charged and normally operating during weekends and holidays.)
If you cannot see any staff at the boarding spot, pull the string set there a couple of times and the boat will come and pick you up.

You can experience such like drawing yourself in a picturesque landscape.

In addition, if the leaves changing color in autumn, you can enjoy a different landscape.

Let's go to the best highlight! -Sandandaki Waterfall-

This is a three-tiered waterfall with a total length of 30 meters (about 98 ft.).
You may want to watch it for a while, that the waterfall powerfully runs down.
Enjoy the world of sounds that you can't hear in the city.
It takes about 2 hours and a half per way from the Main Entrance of Sandankyo.

About 75 minutes by highway bus from Hiroshima Bus Center (this is NOT at Hiroshima Station!) To the Main Entrance of Sandankyo.
* For a day-trip to Sandankyo, it is a must to take the fastest highway bus (departing from Hiroshima Bus Center at 8:18AM as of June 2020). You can also take buses that are not highway buses, but in that case, it takes about 2 hours and 20 minutes per way.
Also, please check carefully, since the schedule changes on Saturdays and Sundays.

Break down stereotypes! This is the TRANSPARENT INCINERATION PLANT.

Who can believe that this building is an incineration plant? But it really is. This modern architecture is actually an incineration plant of Hiroshima city, designed by Architect Yoshio Taniguchi who also designed MoMA’s new building. In the center of this building is there a tunnel-shaped transparent passage called "Ecolium"; in other words, you can stand in the middle of this factory and look out over the factory. Please make a challenge how “Instagramable” picture you can take. Ecolium is open from 9:00AM through 4:30PM every day! At the end, you will see the wide view of calm Seto Inland Sea, with this huge and modern architecture on your behind! Take steps down to the ground outside and see the sea and park with greenery and take a walk around. During weekdays, from Monday through Friday, you can also go up to the 6th floor (the entrance is on the 1st floor of the building), a really nice viewing gallery must be seen. Of course, this is all free of charge...

Your hotel like a home from home in Miyajima

This is one of the few Western-style hotels in Miyajima Island with Japanese touches. While the rooms have the classic bed style, you can take off your shoes in the style of a Japanese house and relax on the wooden floor. When you arrive at Miyajima and walk out of the ferry terminal, the brown building you see on your left is the Miyajima Villa. It welcomes guests at the entrance to Miyajima. Leave your heavy luggage behind at the hotel as soon as you arrive at the island, and head out for sightseeing lightly. Needless to say, Miyajima is a tourist destination registered as a World Heritage Site, and there is not enough time to enjoy all of the historical buildings, nature, shopping, and gourmet food, but there is also plenty of hospitality for guests to have a special time at this Miyajima villa. Feature 1: Bath with tatami mats Feature 2: Restaurants with locally produced and consumed food Feature 3: A special venue for guests Feature 4: Stay i...
