Hiroshima is also called as the City of Water. Enjoy the river while feeling the nature in the historic area. [Water bikes, SUISUI]

Did you know that Hiroshima is also called as the City of Water?

The well-known Atomic Bomb Dome is also located in the river delta.

Six rivers flow through the city, and streetcars across many bridges as they run around between west and east.

Since the time Hiroshima was grown as a city, the lives of the people in the area have been with the river.

Therefore, we would like everyone, who visits Hiroshima for sightseeing, to get more familiar to Hiroshima by enjoying through the river that is inseparable to us.

Here is one of the best ways to do so.

Please try "Water Bikes, SUISUI".

This water bike is not motorized; you move it forward by pedaling.

The plan includes a river cruise of about 20 minutes.

Enjoy a river cruise from Peace Memorial Park to the place where SUISUI is located first, then start water-biking.

You can see people relaxing on the shore, or you can see beautiful cherry blossoms stand along the river, depending on the season.

You may find the fish swimming in the river.

With the sound of the water, fully enjoy water-biking for 25 minutes. You might meet jumping fish or swimming rays by chance!?

“Miyahama Onsen”, the hot springs where you can view Miyajima

In Japan, we have famous onsen (hot spring) resorts such as Arima Onsen, Kusatsu Onsen, and Zao Onsen; but other than these, there are many hot spring resorts in region areas, as well. In the suburbs of Hiroshima city, there are also some onsen. Speaking of the hot springs that you can enjoy while viewing the sacred island of God "Miyajima", are Miyahama Onsen. (In some facilities depending on the orientation of the building, it is incapable to see Miyajima while soaking in the onsen, so please refer to the information linked for each facility.) There are not so many in numbers, but from casual onsen facilities up to luxury ryokan (inns), each is offering a unique and heartfelt service.

After walking around, let's heal your tired body in the hot spring and cultivate health and vitality for tomorrow. Miyahama Onsen Ryokan (inns) and facilities - Ryokan Kanz...
