[Hiroshima Prefecture/Fukuyama City] If you know this place, you're an expert! The sacred place of Ponyo on the Cliff

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩*⋆✈Hiroshima Prefecture𓂃 𓈒𓏸Tomonoura, Fukuyama City (Setonaikai National Park) Hinamatsuri was yesterday, but I don't care. Lol-I went to Tomonoura, where the "Tomo Town Doll Festival" is being held until March 24th🎎 During the period, about 100 townhouses, merchant houses, and temples will be exhibiting a variety of precious and rare Hina dolls, including gorgeous seven-tiered decorations from the Edo period, large-scale and elaborate palace decorations from the Meiji period, Oshie Hina dolls, Tachi Hina dolls, and Nagashi Hina dolls. Tomonoura, also known as "the most relaxing port town in Japan," is a port town with a nostalgic atmosphere that was the setting for Ponyo on the Cliff. It is famous for its atmospheric streets and Homeishu (a Japanese liqueur made from mirin and Chinese herbal medicine) which has a history of over 350 years. It was my first time visiting during Hinamatsuri, but the whole town was lively and I was able to see various Hina dolls of different sizes and eras everywhere I went. Everything has a sense of history, from personal collections to those borrowed from local people only for this period, to those left in town houses. Some places have an entrance fee, while others are free to enter and exit. The streets here are complicated, and some parts are quite maze-like for me, who has no sense of direction (lol), but it's quite fun to just rely on your senses and walk around, stopping at various shops and having casual conversations with the shopkeepers. If you go to a cafe or take your time looking around, 3-4 hours will easily pass! There are many Kawazu cherry trees and Somei Yoshino cherry trees planted near the temple. 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄𓊆𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒𓊇Varies by store 𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 Tomoura Tomo, Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #Sakura2024 #trip #Hiroshima #Fukuyama #Fukuyama #Girls' Festival #Hiroshima sightseeing
