A great local area to visit for side quests while traveling in Hiroshima!!

After finishing my trip to Hiroshima with my friends at the end of January, I went sightseeing by myself in several small cities near Hiroshima! Kure City, where Japanese warships were built in the past >Onomichi City, famous for its local ramen and pudding >Fukuyama City, where Fukuyama Castle and the Retro Technology + Tea Museum are located >Saijo Station, where Hiroshima's famous brewery town is located! It may be a little too small to fly to from Korea, but I visited a lot of places with unique and delicious restaurants that are perfect for completing side quests on a day trip while visiting Hiroshima. I'll write about my memorable experiences in each area~~ Kure City is a city where Japanese warships were built, and there are several museums where the history of warships is described in detail! It's a place where you can see the history of Kure City, where warships were built, the types of warships, and even the inside of warships in detail, so it seems like a good place to go for history or military-related things. There is a Chinese restaurant called (Chinraiken珍来軒) where you can eat Chinese cold noodles. The cold noodles and shumai there are incredibly delicious. I highly recommend visiting this place when you visit Kure! The next place we went to was Onomichi, a smaller city near the beach. It was a quiet and cozy city where you could often see small transport ships and oyster mining ships! I highly recommend trying the famous Onomichi ramen and Onomichi pudding, and as a tourist attraction, I recommend Senkoji Park, which you can go up by cable car! I think it would be best to go up and see the peak, and then go down and see a traditional Japanese temple and cat alley!ㅎㅎ Fukuyama City was a city with an ambiguous and unique landscape where if you go up from the station, you will immediately see a residential area, and if you go down, you will see a city! The most memorable things were the museum where retro machines and cars were on display, and Fukuyama Castle! Also, Fukuyama is famous for sea bream, so I ate a lot of teppo at a bar!ㅎㅎ On the last day, I like sake, so I wanted to visit a sake brewery, so I went to Saijo Station. It was only 30 minutes away from Hiroshima Airport, so I spent the day before returning home, and after hearing about the various manufacturing processes at the brewery and tasting the sake, I bought all three bottles because there were three delicious sakesㅎㅎㅎ (The sake brand was Kamotsuru!) While going around the various areas around Hiroshima, my feet were tired, but my eyes and mouth were very happy. This trip made me realize that, aside from the big cities of Japan, if you explore a little more, you can find a wider variety of regions and taste a wider variety of foods. Next time, I want to visit small cities near popular cities like Fukuoka or Shizuoka. I recommend that you all go on various trips to Japan!! #Hiroshima #Travel near Hiroshima #Solo travel #Hiroshima restaurants #Museum #Travel to small Japanese cities #Brewery
