Tomo no Ura, Fukuyama

4.1

A picturesque port town at the southern end of Fukuyama city, Tomo no Ura offers scenic views and an insight into Japan’s age of sails. Traditional dark wooden facades, a lovely 11 m (33 ft) tall Edo-period stone lighthouse, cobblestone steps, and a historic pier and old docks all preserve the Edo atmosphere. Famous for the production of "homeishu," medical liquor said to induce longevity, the port has a museum dedicated to it. You can also visit four temples and a shrine, as well as museum of history and folklore. Tomo Port sits 30 minutes by bus from Fukuyama.

風情のある街並み。比較的観光客は少ないです。歩いて散策しましたが、狭い道を車が多く通りますのでうかうか歩くと危ない感じがします。カフェが結構あり、海を眺めながら珈琲を頂きました。 more »

「いろは丸」の沈没事件後に、ここで坂本龍馬率いる海援隊と紀州藩の交渉が行われたことが有名ですが、古くはこちらに朝鮮通信使（李氏朝鮮から徳川幕府への使節団）が来訪した際に、潮を待つ間、お持て成しをする場所だったところなのだそうです。意外な場所に、風情のある街があることに感激しました。 more »

Small fishing Port: Whether it's a drama fan or a person who loves history, there are all kinds of fascinating factors. That being said, there's not much to pack, and I think it's a very hard place to go, and it's really a great way to get rid of the city's busy, fully relaxed fishing village.

What you should know before try to visit Tonamura: - It's a famous fishing village close to Fukuyama (about 30 mins). - ‎Ticket bus is 550¥ (one way). - ‎It's a quite place, and pleanty of sightspots to enjoyed a whole day as: Nunakuma temple, Old lighthouse or Louji temple. - ‎It's a little expensive, but it's possible find some places with good prices. Bring some snacks. - ‎There is a turist boat to give a look around the small islands beside the port. - ‎Even if you spend the entire day here, you will feel that you missing visit a lot of places. - ‎At 5pm close almost everything, and it becomes a ghost village. I highly recommend visit this place.
