Miraishin no Oka is a Greek-esque spot 🇬🇷 This spot is popular on social media, but it's actually inside a temple called Kosanji Temple 🤫 All of these art pieces are made from pure white marble. The monuments come in all different sizes and shapes, and are all well worth seeing! When you change where you look, it shows a different side to you, and I had so much fun I lost track of time 😍 Access: 553-2 Setoda, Setoda-cho, Onomichi-shi, Hiroshima #Shimanami Kaido #Remote Island Tourism #Ikuchijima #Hiroshima

Mirai Shin no Oka is a photogenic spot with a spectacular view in Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture. Mirai Shin no Oka is open to the public as the Kosanji Museum, along with Kosanji Temple, a temple of the Jodo Shinshu sect of Buddhism. The garden, which doesn't look like it's in Japan, is filled with marble art, making it a power spot where you can feel the powerful life force. If you climb the white marble hill that was created by the world-renowned sculptor Kuiya Itto over a period of 16 years, you can enjoy the view of the city. #Spectacular #PhotogenicSpot #Hiroshima #Onomichi #OnomichiCityHiroshimaPrefecture #SpectacularView

#Spring0yenTrip Miraishin no Oka, located in the grounds of Kosanji Temple, is a one-of-a-kind art garden, covered with white marble. Created by contemporary sculptor Kuiya Itto, this space has an open and fantastical atmosphere reminiscent of the hills of the Aegean Sea. Access: By public transport, take a bus from JR Onomichi Station for about an hour and get off at the Kosanji bus stop. If you are using the Shimanami Kaido, it is about a 15-minute drive from Ikuchijima IC. You can use the parking lot at Kosanji Temple (paid). Attractions: The greatest attraction of Miraishin no Oka is the extraordinary space created by its overwhelming whiteness. The marble, shining in the sunlight, shows various expressions depending on the time of day and the weather, and you will discover something new every time you visit. The objects scattered around the garden harmonize with the nature while emanating a strong presence, making it a popular photo spot. From the top of the hill, you can see the calm waters of the Seto Inland Sea and the surrounding islands, and the view is truly spectacular. Especially at dusk, when the sky and sea are dyed orange, the contrast with the white marble is breathtakingly beautiful. You can spend a relaxing time feeling the sea breeze. Recommended places: The whole of Miraishin Hill is recommended, but the following points in particular should not be missed. * The Tower of Light, the monument at the top: A spherical monument that can be said to be the symbol of Miraishin Hill. You can enter the inside, and if you climb the spiral staircase, a 360-degree panorama will spread out before you. * Walking path: We recommend taking a leisurely stroll along the white marble path and appreciating the objects scattered there. Try to feel the message that each piece holds. * Cafes and shops: Near the entrance to the hill, there is a cafe where you can take a break while looking at the view of the Seto Inland Sea, and a shop selling original goods. You can enjoy a moment in an artistic space with a gelato or drink in hand. * Joint viewing with Kosanji Temple: The neighboring Kosanji Temple is known for its gorgeous architecture. By visiting both the temple and Miraishin no Oka, you can enjoy the charms of Kosanji Temple even more. Miraishin no Oka is a spot that can be recommended to a wide range of people, including art lovers, those who want to refresh themselves in a beautiful landscape, and those who want to take special photos. Be sure to experience this fantastical space.

Last month, I went on a trip to Hiroshima! First, I went to Hanabi in Higashi-Hiroshima to eat abura-soba noodles! It was so delicious that even I, who don't like greasy food, ate it all up (^^) Day 1 → Abura-soba noodles, Onomichi, Miraishin-no-Oka, drinking at a pub in the city Day 2 → Sightseeing in Miyajima, enjoying oysters and alcohol, staying at a ryokan in Miyajima Day 3 → Return to the city, Atomic Bomb Dome, okonomiyaki, Moved to Iwakuni and went to Irori Sanzoku. I rented a car to get around, so it was a trip where I was able to go to many places I wanted to go! #0yentripFebruary2025

After coming to Japan to study, I love to explore those "non-Internet-famous" niche hidden gems. This time, I accidentally came across "Miraishin no Oka" in Hiroshima and was struck by a photo of pure white marble. I immediately decided: no matter how troublesome the transportation is, I must go! --- **🚌 A "lonely" journey** Starting from downtown Hiroshima, it took me 3 hours to get to Innoshima by train, bus, and ferry. All the fatigue along the way disappeared when I set foot on the island—the wind from the Seto Inland Sea, with a salty taste, hit my face, the sunlight shattered in the waves, and even the air seemed to be washed clean and transparent. **Tips**: There are few buses on the island, so be sure to check the timetable! I recommend renting a bicycle and taking your time to explore. The citrus fields and fishing village houses along the way are the hidden Easter eggs🍊. --- **⛰️ When pure white meets blue, it's breathtaking** Walking through the courtyard of the Kosanji Museum, a piece of pure white suddenly came into view—this is "Miraishin no Oka." The group of sculptures made of 3,000 pieces of Italian marble looks like snow scattered by God, frozen between the blue sea and sky. Squat down and touch the stone surface, cold but gentle. The designer said that "poetry is written with stones" here, and it is true: geometric lines cut light and shadow, the cross points to the clouds, and the iconic heart-shaped monument stands alone and firmly on the top of the mountain, as if saying: "No matter how noisy the world is, only your own heartbeat can be heard here." --- **☕️ Missed the cafe, but met the dusk** I wanted to check in at "Cafe Coure" on the mountainside, but I missed the business hours. Just when I was feeling regretful, I turned around and saw the sunset—the whole piece of white stone was dyed honey-colored, and the sea surface glowed like gold foil. I simply sat on the steps in a daze, watching the evening breeze push the clouds through the sculptures. I suddenly understood the meaning of travel: the unplanned scenery is often the most touching. --- **📝 For those who want to go** ・**Tickets**: Kosanji + Miraishin no Oka combo ticket is 1,400 yen, no discount for student ID (heartache) ・**Transportation**: The most convenient way is to take a ferry from Onomichi Station to Setoda Port. I recommend driving or renting an electric bicycle! ・**Outfit**: Solid color dress + straw hat, perfect match with the white stone background~ ・**Mood**: This place is suitable for going alone, put on a song "Aruarian Dance" in your headphones, and let your thoughts drift away with the sea breeze. --- **🌌 Little thoughts** Every day in Japan, I am learning the philosophy of "Ichigo Ichie." And Miraishin no Oka is like a promise to myself—crossing mountains and seas, just to hear the clearest echo in my heart in the lonely pure white. Next time, I want to bring a collection of poems here and wait for a sunset.

Miraishin no Oka is located on the grounds of Kosanji Temple on Ikuchijima Island. This white marble garden was created by a sculptor, and a pure white world spreads out before you. The contrast between white and blue is especially beautiful on sunny, blue-sky days. The marble used here was actually brought all the way from Italy 🇮🇹 Its beauty transcends borders and is loved on Ikuchijima Island. Each piece, such as the towers and objects that represent the four seasons and flames, has its own meaning, so be sure to experience the worldview while feeling the meaning behind them. Please go and check it out~ ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Future Heart Hill, Ikuchijima 📸: iPhone 13 Pro, Canon EOS 5D MarkⅣ 💴: General admission 1,400 yen ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ #Domestic travel record #Hiroshima #Hiroshima sightseeing #Hiroshima trip #Onomichi city #Ikuchijima #Kosanji temple

Ikuchijima Island in Hiroshima Prefecture floats in the Seto Inland Sea. On this island, there is Miraishin no Oka, a new tourist spot in Onomichi and a recently talked-about photo spot. Miraishin no Oka stands on a hill in the grounds of a temple called Kosanji Temple. (Therefore, you need to pay an admission fee to enter.) Kosanji Temple itself is very beautiful with its gorgeous Shinden-zukuri style of architecture, but its history is actually short. It was founded by a Showa era businessman who became a Buddhist monk to pray for the soul of his mother. Miraishin no Oka is an outdoor art piece created in a corner of the Kosanji Temple Museum, where the collection of the head priest, a former businessman, is on display. The work was created by Kuetani Itto, a leading figure in contemporary Japanese sculpture. It is a 5,000 square meter white marble garden created by Mr. All the marble used was mined in Carrara, Italy. Apparently, it was transported by container ship. Surprisingly, there were a lot of foreign tourists. Personally, the view of the Seto Inland Sea was the best. A recommended spot when you visit Hiroshima. #tripdomestictravel #hiroshimaprefecture #remoteisland #greatview #photogenicspot

#Japan and Korea Springtime Destinations Future Heart Hill Rating: ️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5⭐️ is the highest score) Address: 553-2 Setoda, Setoda-cho, Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, 722-2411 (After getting off the ferry at Setoda Port, walk for about 10 minutes) Every time I travel, I love to discover some little-known attractions. Mirai Kokoro no Oka is one of the very unique and rarely visited Japanese attractions. Mirai Kokoro no Oka is located on Ikuchi Island, southeast of Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. It was misty and rainy on the day of departure, and the sea was quite rough. It was very bumpy on the ferry. Since the ship will stop at certain ports along the way, it is recommended to do your homework before going, and pay attention to which ports you will pass first before reaching your destination. Don't get off the ship rashly when you see it docked, because the ship schedule is sparse. If you accidentally take the wrong ship, you will be stranded on the island and may not be able to return on the same day. The boatman can only communicate in Japanese. If you don’t understand Japanese, you need to look carefully at the name of the port of call or ask other passengers. Go to Setoda Port, get off the ship and walk for about 10 minutes. Walk through the island's shopping street and you will see a large stone sign that says "Mirai Kokoro no Oka". As you climb the stairs, you will see a road made of white marble and stone pillars pointing to the sky. This white marble garden, which resembles ancient Greek ruins, covers an area of ​​5,000 square meters. The pure white marble seems to be placed in a disorderly manner, but it forms a majestic landscape, making you feel as if you are in a foreign country and otherworldly. Standing under the stone pillar, you can overlook the entire rural town in the Seto Inland Sea. Although the weather was not good that day, the mist made it feel like a fairyland on earth. We recommend visiting Cafe Cuore, a cafe next to the stone pillar that is also built with white marble. The interior of the small cafe is also pure white, with wooden tables and stools and a simple design. There were only one or two tourists that day and the restaurant was very peaceful. I chose a seat by the window, ordered a cup of hot coffee, and watched the vicissitudes of life under the mountain in the drizzle outside the window. The small countryside is constantly evolving in the rapidly developing city. Slowly feeling the passage of time and savoring the silence of the moment is a good time to purify the soul☕️😇 #Japan and Korea Spring Destinations #Japan Attractions #Japan Cafe #cafe #Japan Must-visit Check-in Spots #Weekend Tour #trip #like #travel #Japan Attractions #Romance #Mirai Kokoro Hill #Spiritual Journey #Hiroshima Prefecture #Japan China Region #Overseas Travel #Ikuchi Island #Onomichi City

Located on the grounds of Kosanji Temple, this stone garden is made entirely of marble and is a relatively new facility that opened in 2020. As it is made entirely of marble, the white space gives off a strange, unrealistic feeling. Viewers will enjoy the architecture reminiscent of hands clasped together in prayer, as well as sculptures depicting towers and hearts. Located on a small hill, it offers a great view of the Seto Inland Sea. It is a perfect spot for Instagram and is especially recommended for couples. There is no additional fee as it is included in the admission fee to Kosanji Temple.

Hello everyone! It's Sora. The other day, I had to go to Hiroshima prefecture, and on the way, I saw a particularly eye-catching place, so I'd like to introduce it to you. This is Setoda, where the Shimanami Kaido is located. You can get there by car, but there are also many ships that run directly between Honshu and Setoda. Anyway, it's a very otherworldly feeling. #CoupleTrip #Hiroshima #PhotogenicSpot #Photogenic #FutureHeartOak #LikeAForeignCountry #CheapTrip #RemoteIslandTrip
