Be enchanted by the miniature garden city!
The city of Onomichi is a small port town located in Hiroshima prefecture. It is defined by its numerous slopes that are home to many artists from both literature and film.

The narrow streets of Onomichi are full of fascinating, quaint and quirky shops. Cat lovers would find delight at the town’s unusually high cat population, and their presence has influenced feline-themed art and merchandise found throughout the area.

Mt. Senkoji is another popular destination in Onomichi. Tourists can travel to its peak via the Mt. Senkoji Ropeway which gives you a spectacular view of the city. At the top of the mountain is Senkoji Park, known as one of the best cherry blossom destinations in Japan during the cherry blossom season.
