Japan - Hiroshima & Western Honshu (PDF Chapter)
Travellers to Western Honshū will find two contrasting coastlines. San-yō (literally ‘sunny side of the mountains’), looking out over the Inland Sea, boasts the bigger cities, the narrow-laned portside and hillside towns, ceramic history and the bullet train. On the other side of the dividing Chūgoku mountain range, San-in is all about an unhurried pace, onsen villages that see few foreigners, historic sites, wind-battered coastlines and great hospitality.
Coverage includes: Hiroshima & around, Miyajima, Iwakuni, Tomo-no-ura, Onomichi, Islands on the Shimanami Kaidō, Okayama & around, Bizen, Kurashiki, Shōdo-shima, Naoshima, Teshima, Kasaoka Islands, Yamaguchi & around, Akiyoshi-dai, Tsuwano, Shimonoseki, Hagi, Matsue & around, Oki Islands, Izumo, Iwami Ginzan, Yunotsu, Tottori & around, Daisen, and San-in Coast National Park.
